"What are you readiiing ?"

"A book," Remus replied.

"Really ! What is it about ?"

Remus lowered his book to look at Sirius, who had invited himself on his bed as he often did on evenings.

"Sea creatures."

"Is that interesting ?"

"It is. You can't imagine how many weird beasts do live underwater ! With awkward eyes, ugly tentacles, transparent skin... And there's probably loads of undiscovered creatures. Why are you laughing ?"

"I'm not."

Remus would have sworn Sirius was making fun of him with his wide smile and twinkling eyes.

"Am I talking too much ?"

"I could listen to you all night long, Moony."
