"What's on your mind?" Remus asks, when he sees Teddy quietly staring at Santa, who is on the couch, sniffling, his face a feverish red.

"Sirius is sick too," Teddy says. "You don't think…"

Remus tries to keep a straight face, but on the inside he is panicking, because is this the moment his son realises the truth about Santa?

"Does Sirius know Santa? Are they friends?"

"Maybe," Remus laughs, as he locks eyes with his husband, who is trying to hold back a coughing fit.

"He kind of looks like Sirius too… do you think they're brothers?"

"Who knows?"
