"But I don't want to have a red nose, I'm stunning enough as I am."

Sirius gave James a dark look as he finished up with Remus…who was now short, fat and jolly.

"Prongs…mate. We've been over this..."

"You have to James, it's part of the plan." Remus added, poking experimentally at his belly.

"But I don't want to." James pouted like a petulant child.

"And that doesn't matter."

"Look, if there was another way we'd do it that way. But we're short on time, supplies and Peter is still in the hospital wing. This is the only way James." Sirius said, leaning against the cupboard wall brushing his black fringe out of this eyes.

"I don't want to."

"James…" Remus groaned, a scowl forming on his scarred face. But Sirius stepped in before things got nasty, crouching down in front of James.

After a moment of silent conversation between the two purebloods Sirius stood up, a satisfied smirk on his face.

"Fine, get it over with." James scowled, his bright hazel eyes pouting.

Remus nodded, pulling out his wand.

"You said it would wear off in an hour! How am I supposed to meet up with Evans like this?!"

"Well…it did…a little."

"By meet...did you mean stalk...?" Peter questioned, watching at James' face soon turn a shade of red that could almost rival his glowing red nose.

"My nose is...my nose..." Gesturing wildly at his colorful nose James let out a defeated groan and sank down into the uncomfortable wooden chair next to Peter's bed.

Peter stifled a laugh by turning it into a coughing fit and Sirius and Remus exchanged glances.

"It's really not that bad Prongs, and it's not like Evans ever gives you a second glance anyways."

"Yeah, you can barely tell..." Remus tried after elbowing Sirius in the gut, aiming for a more calming approach.

"Then why the hell are you all bathed in red light?!"

Remus' lips twitched as he struggled to keep a straight face, because James had a point. The hospital wing did have a faint red glow to it that could only be attributed to their incandescent friend. He tried to turn away before bursting into hysterical laughter but failed instead burying his face in Peter's blankets in an attempt to stifle the sound.

Sirius chuckled…and then it only took moments before he too disintegrated into uncontrollable laughter.

James tried to keep his face straight but Sirius' bark like laugh was infectious and soon he too had tears streaming out of his hazel eyes.

"To be fair though…" Sirius managed to get out in between fits of laughter, "you made a damn good Rudolph."

So...what'd you think?
