"Huh.... ugh!" Sirius Black's eyes flew open. He slowly sat up and tried to
make out the sounds coming from the living room.
"Ur...ugh!" It sounded like a struggle of some sort, but Sirius couldn't hear any contact being made. He quickly and quietly got out of his bed, grabbed his wand, and headed towards the noise.
"Ugnh!" He caught movement and a shadow lunged at the wall. He slowly peered into the room, more curious now then afraid, and raised an eyebrow. Remus Lupin was holding a foil, and lunging at some imaginary foe.
"Um, Moony? Is there a reason for this momentary lapse in sanity?"
"What sanity?" Remus panted, turning to Sirius and wiping his brow on his sleeve.
"Ah, good point. What are you doing?"
"Warming up," He sighed as he sat down in a chair, arms and legs sprawled out.
"Wow, did Dumbledore give it the ok?" Sirius questioned as he sat in a chair next to Remus and put his wand in his pocket.
"Not really.." Sirius met his eyes, confused.
"So.. why are you warming up?"
"To take out Severus Snape."
"Come again?"
"Apparently Severus fences too, and when he rudely barged in on my conversation with Dumbledore, the Headmaster suggested we teach the club together."
"And given the fact that Severus is an ugly git, and you hold grudges, you couldn't do that could you." Sirius chuckled as Remus hit him with a pillow. "So, what's the deal?"
"I sort of challenged him to a duel for the club."
"Idiot."
"Yeah."
"Well?"
"Seven thirty, on the Pitch." Sirius sighed and looked at the clock as he stood.
"You've got twenty minutes." Remus nodded and closed his eyes. "Well get goin'!" Sirius laughed and gave the back of Remus' chair a shove, sending the werewolf to the floor.
"Sirius?"
"Yes?" He grinned at Remus on the floor from behind the chair.
"Remind me to snub you when I get back."
"But of course." Sirius watched as Remus grabbed his tattered cloak, and left the small house. He snickered and shook his head, flopping down sideways in the armchair and soon falling asleep.
