"So," said Sirius, turning to face his friends after several minutes of parading up and down the steps and around about the common room. "What do you think?"
"You look weird," said Peter, stifling a laugh.
"You look like a ponce!" said James, rolling his eyes at yet another of Sirius' crazy fads.
"You look incredible, Paddy!" said Remus, with a quick smile and a twitter of the eyes.
"Really?" he asked. "You think so?"
"Yes!" said all three boys at the same time.
"Shut up, you two! Remus, you really think they look good?" he asked, glancing down at his glittery shoes with their platformed soles.
"Yeah! They really suit you and they make you look tall and svelte," smiled Remus, glad to help out his friend.
James, who was laughing with Peter, stuck his finger down his throat and made gipping sounds. Remus just blushed.
"Pack it in, you two!" shouted Sirius. "Remus is just giving me his opinion on my wonderful new shoes. Isn't that right, Remus?"
"Oh, um, yes, of course!"
And Sirius grinned, because he knew what Remus's real thoughts were, and just why he was blushing. He grinned, because Remus's real thoughts were the same as his own.
