Title: Snapshots
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
Warnings: mild, mild, and I can't say this enough, mild slashy hints.
Author's Notes: This is quick visit to Europe to see how things are going there. Sorry, no mini Yusuke or Harry this time.
Snapshot Title: The Other Side
-You shouldn't worry so much, Moony. Harry only knows a few swear words, and I haven't performed any curses in front of him, so it's not like he's walking down the street muttering and accidentally hexing people. He just swears under his breath at his teacher, the crazy guy next door, Atsuko's dates, the fish lady, that weird guy at the video place…
Maybe you have a point. I'll talk to him about it.
See you next month,
Sirius
Chuckling, Remus tucked the letter back into its envelope. It was just like Sirius to ignore Harry's swearing until he was forced to write out how many people the little guy swore around. Remus was sure Harry's meager knowledge of swears would drastically increase as a result of Sirius's little talk, but at least Harry would walk away with the knowledge of who not to swear in front of.
Remus put the letter in his bag with the others, and picked up the pictures Sirius had sent this time. During the past year Sirius had developed an odd fascination with muggle cameras. Remus suspected it was Sirius's way of being able to show himself how much Harry had changed from the shy boy he had been into the mini marauder he was now, but it was just as likely Sirius's obsession had begun with the idea of letting Albus know through Remus that Harry's life was better now, something Remus had only been too happy to do after receiving Sirius's written rant about how Harry had had no clue who the bubble bath soap was for and had wondered why Sirius was giving him presents for his birthday.
Looking at the top picture of Harry and a young girl, both looking extremely embarrassed as two boys rolled around on the ground fighting, Remus knew this would be one of those pictures he would never show Albus, possibly Minerva, but never Albus. Albus had been shocked and supremely guilty when Remus had shown him the first letter and had immediately stopped pestering Sirius, but Remus still knew his old headmaster would have no problem beginning again if he thought Harry was in danger of become violent like his friend Yusuke. Minerva, however, would stay calm long enough to hear the story behind the photo and would most likely laugh when she heard Yusuke was defending Keiko. Over the past six months, Minerva had often called Yusuke the James and Sirius of Harry's small circle of friends, saying he had James's loyalty, Sirius's love of a good duel, and a passion for pranks. Remus agreed with her on that, but then she also said Keiko was a mini Lily and Harry was a mini Remus.
Remus, this time looking at a picture of Harry and Keiko dragging Yusuke towards their school while another boy with bright orange hair laughed, once again found himself disagreeing with that sentiment. Over the years Remus had become adept at seeing what others didn't, and he couldn't help but note Yusuke seemed almost as protective and possessive of Harry as he was Keiko. It could go either way and only time would tell, but…
The train reached his stop, forcing Remus to put the photos away for the moment. He straightened his tie and coat as he made his way out of the car. Sirius and Harry were coming for a week long stay next month, and he was determined to have a steady job by then. He was not accepting handouts from Padfoot.
