Sirius was still sulking. In fact he hadn't moved ever since the whole Snap incident. Remus was beginning to get seriously worried about his sanity. Sirius had never been the sanest of people but as his friend Remus had always been able to understand what was going on in his head. Now after being cooped up in this house with the Order being out and about, and Charlotte coming back from the dead on top of that it seemed like he really was crazy. He even had those crazy eyes on where his eyeballs almost looked like they were coming out of their sockets.
"Er- so you told Charlie it's fine for her to be with George…" Remus repeated slowly for what seemed like the thousandth time.
Sirius just glared.
"And you want to be just her friend now…"
More glaring.
"Even though you know you are in love with her no matter what her age and really just want to run upstairs and punch George in his smirking face and then snog her silly?" Remus finished with a smirk on his face.
Sirius finally glanced at his friend but the glaring eyes didn't go away. "How can you tell all that Moony?"
Remus shrugged with a laugh. "I don't know how, I mean you hide your emotions so well and all."
Sirius got up and begun pacing the room, he looked reckless and scary, wringing his hands. "I'm going back in time," he said suddenly.
There was a long silence after this. Time was not to be meddled with and there was no way in the world Remus was going to allow a crazy person going back in time where everyones lives could be mucked up. He told Sirius this too but regretted it almost instantly.
"My life is already bloody mucked up alright! I'll just kindnap Sirius or something and then live my life back when it was good." Sirius kept pacing around the room faster and faster. Remus quickly reached out, grabbing his shoulder and tugging him onto the bed.
"That's the dumbest thing you've ever said."
Sirius shook his head. "I'll get to be with her again, the her that liked me and wasn't fascinated with this ridiculous joker that acts sweet just to get into her."
"I don't think George…"
"And I can change what happens, I'll stop her being stuck in that cupboard and we'll live happily ever after…" Before Sirius could continue with his rant a certain Molly Weasley entering the room interrupting him.
"Oh good," she said, pleased. "You are both here. I've decided to take the boys on a well deserved holiday. Arthur really needs it and well by golly so could I. I've let Tonks know that she'll have to fill in for our duties and she didn't seem to mind. You'd just have to look after yourselves here, and Charlotte so I wanted to check that was okay?"
She walked over to where Sirius now sat breathing heavily with the look of a worried mother on her face. She patted his head and he looked extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable. "Please Molly, we're grown men. We'll be fine."
Remus gave Molly a look that said, well I'm grown atleast an I'll look after Sirius and Charlotte. "We really will be fine."
Charlotte came into the room looking a bit forlorn, she had obviously just talked to George. "We were all having such a good time here.." she said sadly, then her cheeks reddened furiously. "I mean, I'll miss you guys Molly but I hope you have a good trip!" The last sentenced was rushed and Charlotte sat beside Sirius feeling silly.
"It's okay Charlie, I know you connected with the twins" – Sirius pretended to gag to Remus who gave him a look – "but we won't be gone for long at all. It'll give you three time to relax without all the commotion." She was obviously referring to the previous days of which she didn't approve of in the slightest.
The three people being left behind at headquarters all gave a solemn nod and Molly hurried out of the room to pack. This left a very awkward threesome who didn't know what to say.
"What if we went on a holiday too?" Remus asked with a cheery smile, primarily directed at cheering up Charlotte.
Sirius rolled his eyes and slid his armchair backwards. He'd obviously been digging his feet into the floor with angry and the chair had lost its friction. "I can't leave remember." Each word was said through gritted teeth and Charlotte sighed loudly.
"Sirius you really are so moody. You used to be so cool and collected."
"Fuck off."
"Sirius, get over yourself," Remus interjected.
Another silence followed this.
"Both of you. Eff the fuck off."
Charlotte shuffled closer to him. "I think I might go see George."
"Good for you," Sirius replied sarcastically.
"Should I sleep with him?"
Remus looked positively disgusted and Sirius jumped from his chair so high into the air it seemed like it was on fire. Charlotte just smirked back at the pair of them with her arms folded.
"Why would you say that?" Remus asked, his proper manners feeling uncomfortable at her statement and he looked completely bewildered.
Sirius had gone beetroot in the face and was beginning to shake all over. They all seemed to be about to explode with anger and hidden tension when the door to the living room opened and a cheery faced red haired teen bounded in. George's smile slipped off his face as the atmosphere in the room hit him.
"All good Sirius?" he asked the beetroot.
Sirius stopped shaking and stood up, spinning around to face George. "I'll kill ya!" he replied, reaching into his pocket.
