"James, we've got a situation here. I need you on the balcony," Remus said, walking from the front door, straight to the balcony and throwing the door open. He walked out, with James following behind him. "What's going on?" he demanded, worry filling his voice.

"Nothing to worry about," Remus replied, motioning to the street below them, with James following his gaze.

"Remus, is that Sirius down there?" James asked, after a long moment.

Remus nodded, his arms resting the metal railing as he looked down onto the street. "It sure is. He buzzed up to tell me to get you onto the balcony."

"That's so cliche… and adorable," James said, sighing as he copied Remus' stance. "So romantic. So… why are we not racing downstairs to throw ourselves into his arms?"

"Because we're being romantically serenaded," Remus explained softly, his eyes still on Sirius. "He brought a boom-box? Where did he manage to get one of those?"

"Does it matter, he's about to switch it on," James said excitedly, grabbing Remus' arm. "I wonder what song he'll choose?"

"I bet it'll be rock," Remus said, anticipation building inside of him as Sirius continued to lean over the boombox.

"Or something a bit dirty," James added, his eyes greedily falling on the leather jacket he loved so much. "Something that embodies Sirius Black."

Remus nodded. Sirius turned around and lifted the box above his head, flashing a cheeky grin up at them. They both grinned back, excited at what was about to follow.

"Aerosmith," Remus said confidently. "I don't want to miss a thing."

"You think? Well, I'm going with 'I can't fight this feeling anymore," James replied. "If I win, you have to show me that wonderful hidden talent of yours…"

"I have numerous hidden talents," Remus replied with a smirk.

"Oh, you know the one I'm thinking of," James murmured, his eyes travelling down Remus' body for a brief moment, just as the first notes trickled up to them.

"Uh, James, I… don't think this is a rock song."

"Then what is… is this that song from Grease?"

Remus nodded.

"I'm horrified," James whispered, eyes wide. "Why?"

"Forget where the song if from, just listen to the words," Remus hissed. "Sirius clearly thought hard about what song to bring here tonight. We told him how we felt about him being with us, and he walked out. We knew he was overwhelmed and freaked out, and both thought he may not come back… but here he is. I think we have a chance her, I think he wants to be with us!"

James nodded, turning his attention to the man on the street. Not another sound was uttered as the loud music carried through the street, causing everyone in the block to look out at him. Finally, there was silence.

"Now do we go and ravish him?" James asked.

Remus nodded. "Before Miss Umbridge from downstairs gets to him first," he said, gesturing to the balcony just below theirs where the woman let out a contented sigh whilst watching Sirius. "I feel like this is going to give her another reason to hate me."

James snorted. "She can hate you all she wants, at the end of the day, we've got Sirius."
