Road Trip
.

Packed into a muggle transportational vehicle called a 'mini van,' seven magical folk with completely conflicting views of the 'situation,' were headed down a deserted country road towards the recreational passtime muggles refered to as 'ski hills.'

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had insisted on a liesurely 'outing' for those most closely involved with the long, now resolved, war. There had been much protest but eventually the seven selected teachers had scornfully agreed to go along with Albus' idea of an 'outing.'

Somehow Dumbledore had managed to contact a muggle ski lodge and secure a mini van to transport them all to their destination. Unfortunately, he hadn't taken into consideration the 'mini' part of 'mini van.' All seven of them did fit into the vehicle, however as they were all adults, it was a tight squeeze, which served to aggrivate each of them in turn.

Severus had sat in the drivers seat for the whole of ten minutes before his 'co-pilot' Hermione began to criticize his driving. He simply stated that "if she could do better then perhaps she should take the wheel" knowing full well that Hermione had never been behind the controls of any of muggle machine in her life. This statement suitably silenced her for the time being.

The other five listened to this conversation in amusement all apart from Remus who had unintentionally tuned out everything but the young man seated to his right. Harry. Ever since his graduation some six years ago, Remus had been slowly growing fond of him, and eventually became more than fond of him. Yet he refused to admit to himself just how 'much' he felt for the former Boy- Who- Lived.

As the arguements between Snape and Hermione subdued to a dull roar Sirius turned towards the warewolf between him and his Godson, for some entertainment.

"Hey Remus?" Sirius began.

...No response...

"Moony?"

Still nothing.

"MOONY!" Sirius' voice boomed through the small interior of the van and everyone stopped what they were doing in favor of staring at him. Even Severus, who almost drove off the road and crashed into a tree, killing everyone in a firey inferno.

"What?" Asked Remus slightly shaken as everyone continued to watch amusedly. Except Severus, who'd gotten yelled at, curtisy of Hermione for, "almost 'murdering' everyone!" Even Harry had paused his muggle machine, a personal CD player, interested in what was happening.

"Unhhh... *hehe*...sorry," he smiled sheepishly, "...you were kinda spacin' out..."

"hummm...there 'are' better ways of getting people's attention you know Padfoot. Idiot," Remus smiled teasingly and patted Sirius on the head when he heard the growl, "bad dog."

Sirius leaned into the touch and his left leg began to vibrate and thump rapidly. Remus laughed again as he heard something like "...not something I ever wish to see again..." from the drivers seat.

Harry had smiled lovingly at his Godfathers antics, and returned to gazing languidly out the tinted windows and listening to his CDs. The two in the middle row returned to their game of truth or dare and Severus snorted and turned back to the road in disgust.

"What's up with you lately?" Questioned Black.

"What do you mean?" Remus asked, a slight blush spreading over his face.

Sirius smiled knowingly and turned to his Godson, "Harry? Can you hear me?" He paused, "you're a horrible Godson and I'd rather be alone in Diagon Ally with Snape wearing a pink tutu, prancing around and singing 'I look pretty.'"

An indignant snort came from the driver accompanied by various tittering and stifled giggles from the other passengers. Satisfied that Harry was too engrossed in his music to overhear Sirius turned back to Moony.

"You really like him. Don't you." It was more of a statement than a question.

Remus gulped and grew even redder.

Black smiled, "It's okay you know...I'm not gonna bite your head off for it."

"I know." Remus smirked at the wording, "I just...I'm- I'm just so much older than him..." He trailed off.

Az suddenly looked back from her seat beside Ron in the middle row, "Age doesn't matter Remus. Some people think it does, but..." She shrugged, "can't control who you fall for, regardless."

Ron made a soft choking noise. He had never been one for conversing over relationships. Especially gay relationships concerning one of his best friends who was completely in the dark.

"I know," continued Moony, ignoring Ron's hacking cough, "but still..."

"Don't worry about it. Sometimes these things happen." Hermione smiled back at them from the passengers seat.

There was a short pause of comtemplation, "you should tell him." Said Sirius quietly.

"I-" Began Remus, but was cut off.

"That is not wise." Severus, "What miserable little friendship you have with him now would be destroyed if the feelings, which are most certainly not, shared. I suggest that you refrain from saying anything more on the subject."

"Shut up Snape." Squawked Black, "Don't listen to him Remy, you should- "

"No. Sirius, he's right. I don't want to mess up anything with Harry by teling him how I feel. If I can't have him I at least want him as a friend, and I don't want to jeopardise that." said Remus quietly but firmly.

.

As the van pulled into the driveway of the large hotel at which they would be staying Harry suddenly turned of his CD player and turned to face Remus and Sirius. He had a strange look an his face.

"What a place hunh." His voice cracked. He was acting strangely.

"Ya," Answered Remus as he stepped out of the van and stood beside Harry on the pavement, "it's bigger than I ever thought a muggle building could be."

Harry smiled, "just wait untill you see the ski hills."

"Actually I'm kind of dreading the 'ski hills' due to the skiing part."

Harry patted Lupin assuringly on the shoulder, "don't worry, I'm sure if anyone dies Severus will hunt down and take revenge upon those responsible." He laughed as the two began walking towards the building. "Hey Remus?"

"Ye-" He was cut off by a pair of warm lips colliding with his own. Moony's eyes flew open, startled. He was gently pushed back against a wall and then it struck him. He was being kissed. Kissed. Kissed by Harry. Harry Potter. Harry Potter was kissing him. Quite thoroughly at that. He gasped as he felt a warm toung teasing his bottom lip, which turned out to be a tactical error as this allowed Harry's toung to delve into his mouth tasting him. And then it was gone. Harry had pulled back.

Remus was dumb struck. At the moment he was very thankfull for the wall which he was leaning all his weight against as he looked up into emerald eyes. Harry had an immense smile on his face as he turned away from Remus and innocently strode into the hotel, leaving six very confused people in his wake.

Maybe they had been wrong about Harry not being able to hear the conversation.
