When James and Lily walked in to the living room, they were greeted by quite a sight. Remus was lying on the ground, a huge, furry black dog sitting happily on his chest.

James, seeing it for what it was, started cracking up and had to hold onto a nearby table for support. Lily on the other hand, gasped, and rushed over to pet the dog.

"Oh, he's such a cutie!" She cooed, as she scratched behind his ears. "Isn't he Remus?"

"Oh yes… a cutie indeed…" He said with a pained look.

Sirius had jumped off Remus and rolled onto his back so Lily could scratch his belly.

"What's his name?" she asked.

A mischievous gleam lit up Remus's eyes before he said, "Snuffles. His name is Snuffles."

Sirius whipped his head around and growled at Remus, but Remus just smiled evilly at him and began to pick himself up off the ground.

James was now sitting in the doorway, head in his hands, shaking with hysterical laughter.

Lily was still scratching Sirius's belly. "Yes… you like that don't you?" she said.

Oh that is so wrong… Remus thought to himself as he plopped back down on the couch.

"So whose dog is he anyway?" Lily asked.

"Uhh… umm… he's…." Remus began.

Luckily, James had gained enough control to cut in. "He's my Aunt's. They went on vacation to umm… Bora Bora… and we're just taking care of him. Actually, he probably needs to go to bed now. Isn't that right Snuffles?"

Sirius, who was obviously enjoying himself, just growled at James and continued to let Lily pet him.

"It's ok James, I don't mind," she said. "He seems sweet!"

"No no, he really needs to be getting home." James stood up and grabbed Sirius around the neck.

"C'mon now Snuffles. Let's… go…" He said, struggling to push him towards the door.

Remus was chuckling to himself on the couch when Lily looked up and noticed Sirius was missing.

"Where'd Sirius go anyway?" she asked, looking puzzled.

"He just… umm… went to the bathroom. He'll be right back." Remus said quickly.

"Oh, alright then."

James returned a few minutes later looking extremely tousled.

"Good gracious, what happened to you?" Lily looked a bit worried.

"Snuffles was a little reluctant to go to bed." James said, scowling at the back door.

Remus let out a bark of laughter before James glared at him.

"So! What'd I miss?" Sirius strolled into the room a few seconds later, a huge grin plastered on his face.

James looked murderous, but Lily just smiled.

"We were just playing with James's Aunt's dog, Snuffles." She said. "He's such a sweetie."

James gave Sirius a look that clearly said Don't even think about it! , then went to go sit by Remus on the couch.

Not noticing the look, Lily stood up and picked up the dropped video.

"'An American Werewolf in London'? Is that what we're watching?" She looked up at Sirius.

"NO!" Remus shouted.

But Sirius just grinned even wider and winked at Remus. He turned back to Lily.

"You betcha!" he said, and popped the video into the Television.

A half an hour later, Sirius was already fed up.

"What kind of movie is this?!" he exclaimed. "That guy doesn't look anything like a werewolf!"

Remus sighed and took another bite of his Honeyduke's chocolate bar.

Lily tried to explain. "They're muggles, remember Sirius? They don't really know what werewolves look like because they don't think they actually exist!"

"But of course they do!" Sirius shouted.

"But the muggles don't know that!" Lily said exasperatedly.

"Stupid muggle movie…" Sirius muttered.

"Now you know why I didn't want to watch it, Sirius." Remus was looking a little pale.

James was watching his friends with an amused expression. He knew that wasn't the real reason why Remus didn't like this movie, but he couldn't say anything in front of Lily.

"But you can't deny it, Moony! You know it pisses you off!" said Sirius.

"What pisses me off is the fact that you made me sit through this movie, but I suppose you're right. It does make me mad that they completely messed up everything about the werewolf. They are seriously misunderstood creatures in my mind." Remus took another bite of chocolate.

Lily looked sympathetically up at Remus. "You seem to know a lot about them. Do you study them or something?" she asked.

But before he could reply, Sirius had a sudden coughing fit and didn't stop until James shoved a chocolate frog in his mouth.

Remus, if possible, seemed to go even paler. He couldn't meet Lily's eyes.

"Or something…"
