Oki, I don't really think that I need to tell you that I do not own any of the characters...wish I did...but they are all Ms. Rowling's.
This is just some silly little story about a little "talk" harry had with Sirius and Remus....it might be slashy later if I decide to continue with this drabble. Enjoy :)
"Now what was that?!" He spat at me.
It was the last day before the Christmas holiday. Tomorrow I would be off to London to spend Christmas at Grimmauld Place 13. Hermione and all the Weasleys would come to. I was in the dungeon having my weekly occlumency lesson with Snape. The last one before Christmas. He repeated his question. I had no idea what he could possibly have seen.
"What...Sir?"
"The vision of you and Mr. Draco... you weren't exactly swapping chocolate frog cards..."
It took me about two seconds to figure out what he was talking about. I had dreamt of Malfoy but it was so long ago I had almost forgotten that dream. I believe it was something about Malfoy pressing me up against a wall snogging me senseless. Snape gave me a look of utter contempt. As he so often reminds me, he doesn't like me a bit. I guess this didn't make things any better.
"But Professor... that was just a dream."
"Just get out of my sight Potter. And remember...I will know if you haven't practiced over the holiday."
My heart sunk like a stone when I left his office. I would become the laughingstock of the Slytherin house. Bugger!
When I came back to the tower I didn't tell Ron or Hermione. It was just a silly dream. It doesn't mean anything. Ron gave me a pat on the back. "Cheer up mate. No extra lessons with Snape for a couple of weeks!" Hermione sighed, "That doesn't mean that he won't practice. Right Harry?"
"Of course I will practice. It's much easier alone than when you have Snape poking around in your brain!" Ron agreed with me and we discussed the subject for awhile before we made us ready for bed. I had a hard time sleeping. I was so excited about this. This is going to be my best Christmas ever!
It was snowing when we boarded the train. Great, there will be lots of snow for Christmas. Piggy was excited and flew around our heads the entire trip. Ron was complaining about how stupid his owl is. But I know how much he loves Piggy. He just wont admit it. Ron's father was there to pick us up at King's Cross. We were going to take the Knightbus. I can hardly say that I like to travel this way. Ernie is the worst driver ever! Neither Ron nor Hermione had traveled with it before so they actually looked forward to it. After the ride they both changed their minds. They agreed that they would never ever travel with it again. "I'm never going on that thing again!" "My God. I think I'll have to puke!"
Sirius opened the door and welcomed us. It was great to finally be here. I ran up to my godfather and hugged him. Then Mrs. Weasley came and almost smothered me with one of her hugs. "Oh Harry. It's so nice to have you here. How you have grown!" She released me and beamed at me. "Dinner will be ready in half an hour."
We had just about packed up everything when she called us down to eat. Remus arrived when we were halfway down the stairs. He looked a tad skinny. A bit more than usual. But still he seemed to be as happy as he always is.
"Professor Lupin! We have missed you so much!"
"Hermione, you don't have to call me Professor anymore. It has been a long time since I was."
Hermione blushed a little. I have suspected for a time that she has a crush on him. Or at last has had. After the dinner we stayed at the table. And as the hour grew late everybody excused themselves from the table. Everyone except Remus, Sirius and I. Remus gave Sirius a look and then Sirius said, "Harry...It's about time that I fulfilled one of my duties as a godfather. It's about time that we had 'the talk'."
Oh my God. How utterly embarrassing! I know all that I need to know. Ok, not everything. But I get the main idea. I wonder why they thought now was a good time to have this conversation. Sirius cleared his troath. "When a man really really loves a woman...it can be very nice and cozy to hold hands and stuff like that...but you may want to go further than that if you really really love each other."
Merlin this is embarrassing!
"Sirius...I hate to interrupt you but I think that Harry knows about the part with the birds and the bees. Am I right Harry?"
"Yes! Thank you Remus. Now do we really need to have this conversation then?"
They looked at each other. Sirius gave me the most serious look. "There are other...um...kinds of love I thought that we could talk on Remus, help me out!"
"Harry yesterday I talked with Professor Snape. He told me about some dream of yours he had stumbled upon during your last occlumency session."
FUCK! I almost sunk through the chair. You could have fried an egg on my forehead if you'd wanted to. In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined him telling Professor Lupin!
"We wanted to talk to you about this..."
I rolled my eyes. "And what could the two of you possibly know about stuff like that?"
An awkward moment of silence. Sirius turned slightly in his chair. "We might just know more about this than you think Harry. When we were young we experimented ...a-lot...with each other. Not with Peter...but your father, Remus and I. Both Remus and I have had girlfriends but we have also had boyfriends. So you could say that we swing both ways..."
"So you're saying that you two...?"
Remus nodded. "Yes...Sirius is the one person who's always been there for me. It was kind of natural that it became us. "
"But I'm not involved with Draco like that. I don't even know if he bloody swings that way. Besides...he's a Slytherin."
"I think that it's quite obvious how Malfoy swings...of what you have told me I believe he is open-minded to this kind of stuff. And that he is a Slytherin is a poor excuse...you can ask Remus about that. Although I can't see what he ever saw in Snape."
I nearly fell of the chair. It was hard trying to picture them together. "You and Snape?!"
"Well yes...he was kind of nice back then once you got to know him. And he can be nice today too when he tries. Before you ask...No...we never got into serious business. I realized that we would work better as friends so I broke up with him. There were no hard feelings. He agreed with me. No one would accept the two of us a couple. My suggestion Harry is that you follow your heart. If you want Malfoy I think that you should give it a go. That's the best advice I can give you."
Sirius agreed with him, "That's the best advice I can give you too. If you're in love with someone you must take chances. I can guarantee you that it's worth it."
This turned out to be a really great conversation. One of the best I had ever had with the both of them. I hugged them both before I went to bed. Now I had something else to look forward to. After the Christmas holiday I would take my chances on Malfoy! Nothing can stop me now! Watch out Draco! Here I come!
Well, tell me now...don't be shy, did you like it? Hate it? Or anything else you can come up with, just let me now...I would be very happy then :D
