X. Innocence

"What do you mean, you're going to snog her?" Remus asked.

"I'm going to put my mouth on her mouth and just . . . go." Sirius shrugged. "How do you do it?"

Remus reddened. "I don't."

"You've never snogged anyone?"

He shook his head.

"Neither have you, mate," James drawled. "Don't lie to us."

"I have!"

"Who?"

"Narcissa."

"Narcissa who?"

"Narcissa Black."

Peter got it first. "Black? Is she related to you?"

"Cousin," he admitted, and James burst out laughing. "It's normal in my family," he said defensively.

"Still," said James, grinning. "Don't make fun of Remus when you've snogged your cousin."
