Chapter 84 - We're Here, We're Queer, Get Used To It

Another Order meeting at Grimmauld Place started off as usual. Bill brought boxes of doughnuts to share, and Sirius provided plenty of wine from his father's not inconsiderable wine cellar.

There was a shortage of chairs (again), so Sirius had Remus sit on his lap. This never bothered anyone - except Snape of course.

"You do know that's disgusting and morally wrong?" he sneered that day.

"Uh-huh. I've heard all the arguments," Sirius said dismissively, reaching for a chocolate-frosted doughnut.

"Then why do you insist on doing it?"

"Because I'm a firm believer in true love, no matter what form it's in," Sirius argued.

"So if someone was truly in love with - your doughnut, let's say - you'd believe in it?"

"Of course. I'd have the bloke committed, but I'd let him take his doughnut with him."

"I think you lads are way off the topic," said Bill.

"Snivellus started it."

"You started it with your Public Display of Affection, Black," Snape retorted. "You sicko."

"Sicko, eh? Who's the one secretly sleeping with several generations of male Malfoys?"

"Only two generations, you moron! And that has nothing to do with this!"

"I think it does," Sirius said. "You're screwing Lucius and Draco, and yet you get offended when Remmie sits on my lap?"

Snape was beet-red. "Shut up! It's still disgusting!"

"Hypocrite," Sirius mumbled.

"So I'd appreciate it if you two would stop cuddling in my presence!" Snape demanded.

"I'm not changing for you, Snivelly! I'll cuddle Remmie all I want, whenever I want! We're here, we're queer, so get used to it!"

"He makes a good point," Kingsley chuckled.

"And I hear tell gay couples are sexy," Remus said. "Or so the Patil girls and Miss Brown believe."

"They're not wrong," commented Tonks.
