Agreements

Remus took a deep breath before entering the room James and he shared. James and Sirius seemed to be in deep conversation about something. Remus brightened maybe half of his work was done for him. Then he heard snatches of the conversation.

"No way. She has a flat chest."

"So?"

How the hell was he supposed the broach this conversation? Remus sighed the only way was to trick James into helping. Here goes nothing...

The two boys looked up as he entered, "Hey, bro. Has Dad cooled off yet?" his brother asked. "Why? You need money don't you?" he replied.

"Why Remus I'm shocked that you think so lowly of me." Said James dramatically. Remus rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap Jamesie. He's known you for too long." said Sirius.

Then Remus had a thought, a devious one but hey, he wasn't best friends with Mia Malfoy and Helen Maxwell and Albert Weasley and Peter Goyle for nothing.

"So, have you guys heard?" he asked indifferently.

"Heard what?" asked Sirius suspiciously.

"Oh nothing," he said innocently. "It's just that Dad has a girlfriend now."

"WHAT?!" bellowed James, he got up and began to pace the room angrily. "When did this happen?" asked Sirius curiously.

"Oh, just recently." Remus said calmly.

"Why the fuck does Dad need a girlfriend?" James asked or rather shouted.

"Chill, Jim. Rem obviously has something else to say." said Sirius curiously.

"What are you waiting for, Christmas? Talk." said James annoyedly.

The things I do for love. Mum you owe me a car, no a house with a hot tub. "Well the timing is perfect. Seeing as the trial separation is almost over."

"What?!" James shouted again.

"You know James, it would be helpful if I kept my hearing until I'm 30!" Remus shouted back.

"Sorry, you were saying?"

"Anyway, before I was interrupted, Setsuko came so she could get them back together. She wants to know if you guys are in or not." finished Remus annoyedly.

"Of course we're in you daft moron!" exclaimed James.

"Gee, James I didn't know you could read my mind." said Sirius sarcastically.

James glared, "Alright, alright. I'm in." he said hastily.

"Good." replied James.

Well that was easy, I only almost lost my hearing. I wonder how Suko's doing...

LILY

"Okay."

"What?"

"I said okay."

"Really? You don't want anything in return."

"No. Your practically family, and a very good friend, I'll do it if you fix me up with someone."

"I knew it."

"Do you want my help or not?"

"Sorry."

"Have you talked to Romie or Sev yet?"

"No."

"Come on, your parents aren't getting any younger."

Setsuko just sighed and followed Lily downstairs.

Lupin Lodge, Living Room

Romulus should have noticed something was wrong when his sister entered a room without bumping into furniture. Flicking off the TV he stared at them expectantly.

"So." said Setsuko.

"What is it?" asked Romulus.

"Sev knows what this is about, I hope." said Lily.

"I do?" said Severus confusedly.

"Sev, the trial separation is over."

"What!? I thought we had more time."

"Well we don't." said Lily tactlessly.

"So are you guys in or not?" asked Setsuko.

"I'm in." said Severus.

Setsuko rolled her eyes, "I knew that already I was asking about Romulus."

"Why not?"

"Good."
