Remus's Second Biggest Fear

"You realize what day this is." Samantha said from the kitchen.

"Don't remind me." Sirius groaned glancing at Remus's bedroom door and then the calendar on the wall.

"Any ideas for this time?" Samantha asked poking her head into the living room.

"We could always tell him we're taking him to that muggle park…what's it called? Disneyland?" Sirius suggested

"We used that one two months ago and it didn't work." Samantha replied. Sirius groaned and rubbed his temples.

"Um…We could threaten him at wand point?"

"You promised him you'd not use that one."

"Damn, what about telling him his mother called and told him to go?"

"He'd phone her to get the proof." Samantha countered.

"I forgot about that." Sirius mumbled "Then do you have any suggestions?"

"Easy," Samantha replied walking over and sitting down beside Sirius "Bribe him with alcohol."

"What makes you think that he'll choose alcohol over--"

"Choose alcohol over what?" Remus asked poking his head out of his bedroom. Sirius and Samantha exchanged a very brief glance and looked at Remus again.

"Over…doing the dishes!" Samantha said. "I told you Sirius! Remus would never choose alcohol over doing the dishes! Unlike some men I could mention!"

"It was one time!" Sirius caught on.

"One time too many!"

"Oh come on Sam! I've did it every other time!" Sirius whined.

"You're doing tonight and that's--" Remus's bedroom door slammed shut again as he tried to avoid the fake argument.

"You think he suspects something?" Sirius asked.

"Most probably." Samantha answered.

"We're screwed."

"Indeed."

"But we're going to try anyway?"

"Definitely."

Two hours, a broken plant pot and a tantrum later they were dragging a struggling Remus down a street. Remus struggled against Sirius and Samantha's grip.

"Mooney!" Sirius hissed when Remus managed to break free of his hold for a brief second "You're acting like a three year old!"

"I've told you I don't want to go and I don't need a haircut!" Remus whined whiled struggling. Samantha glanced up at Remus's shaggy hair which looked like it hadn't been cut in over a year when in actual fact it was cut only a few months ago.

"Remus stop it! Muggles are staring!" Samantha hissed as she spotted several muggles pointing at them, making signs at their heads and making cuckoo noises.

"I don't care!" Remus hissed back "I'm not going into that place! You know I'm scared of scissors!"

"How you ever got that one I don't know." Sirius grumbled as he and Samantha shoved Remus through the door of a barbershop.

Remus stared around with a large frown while Samantha and Sirius caught their breaths from dragging and pushing Remus. Sirius and Samantha exchanged a brief look when an old man approached them.

"Hello Mr Jameson." Samantha greeted with a smile.

"Ah, hello again Sarah." Mr Jameson saw the look on Sirius face as he tried to contain his laughter "I got wrong again didn't I?"

Samantha gave a small nod and gave him a kind smile "It's Samantha." She said.

"I'm so sorry!" The man replied "I would forget my own head if it wasn't attached."

"It's alright." Samantha assured him. Mr Jameson smiled and then looked at the scowling Remus

"I take it your friend needs another hair cut." Mr Jameson said.

"Yep." Sirius said with a nod. "Is it ok if we leave him here? Sam and I need to get some things."

"It's no problem." Mr Jameson said and Remus's scowl deepened "Goodbye Samantha, Goodbye Steve."

"Steve?" Sirius mumbled on his way out the door.
