By the next full moon, Harry watched as Remus practised what to say to Sirius in the mirror. Severus sat on the edge of the tub smirking. The fact that Sirius' relationship with Severus wasn't the best was well known to everyone who knew their history. They had made no point to hide their mutual dislike for one another and now, Remus was about to tell Sirius that they were dating! This wasn't going to go well.

"You're enjoying this way too much!" Harry smirked to Severus who laughed. "Maybe we should just send him a picture of you two snogging. Maybe send it as his birthday card."

Severus started laughing so hard at that idea that he nearly fell back into the bathtub. For a second, Harry thought Severus was actually looking for a camera.

"Thank you for being so Slytherin right now!" Remus said but couldn't help chuckle at Harry and Severus' joy. He found Harry's cloak and got him ready to go meet Sirius.

Severus went to the living room and waited on the couch while Harry and Remus got ready to go out the door. Remus glanced outside and realised it was getting late and wanted to get moving. Harry smirked suspiciously at Severus before they dashed out the door.

Remus couldn't help but think Harry seemed was too cheerful for being hours before the full moon. Harry showed obvious signs of lunar exhaustion but was way too excited. Remus had enough sense to know Harry wasn't excited for the shift. Maybe he was excited to watch him stutter out the truth to Sirius. Remus was beginning to wonder if he could wait till another day to tell Sirius about Severus.

When Sirius came into view, Harry ran excitedly into his godfather's arms. Sirius hugged Harry close and stared at Remus with a worried expression.

"You're running late, this is new for you," Sirius laughed causing a wide smirk to cross Harry's face. "What took you so long?"

"He was busy snogging his boyfriend and lost track of time," Harry feigned a look of embarrassment. "Oops! I forgot you didn't tell him yet! You're welcome, Moony!"

Remus' mouth dropped and his face reddened considerably. He gave Harry a half glare but only received a smirk in return. It was moments like this that Remus found it impossible to picture Harry being sorted into any house other than Slytherin. Harry would probably be one of those kids who was sorted before the hat even touched his head. Remus met Sirius' glance and found a look of questioning.

"I... Have been seeing someone," Remus started quietly as they began walking towards the Shrieking Shack. "And you know might know him."

"Might!" Harry laughed causing Sirius to stare suspiciously at Harry. Sirius watched as Remus' face reddened a little bit more before turning back to Harry.

"And who might this mystery man be, Harry?"

"I don't think Moony wants me to tell you about his being with Severus... Oops, you're welcome, Moony!" Harry said "slipping up" once again. Sirius' expression was obvious, his jaw dropped. Remus felt the urge to remind Harry that nobody had thanked him but Sirius had already started talking.

"Snivellus! Moony, really!" Sirius cried, his expression shocked but he didn't look at all repulsed by the idea. Sirius just looked shocked.

"As much as I'd love to talk about this now, the moon will rise soon and I'm sure you don't want to have to explain two werewolves roaming Hogsmeade," Remus reminded pointing to the sky to remind Sirius that they would be transforming soon. It was a good way to distract him from what Harry had just "accidentally" revealed to him. Harry smirked at Remus from over Sirius' shoulder when he began walking. Remus stuck out his tongue causing Harry to howl with laughter.

The Shrieking Shack was big, run down and smelled like dust. The place looked like a wild animal resided here and that made sense considering this was where Remus came for all of his transformations while he was at Hogwarts. When Remus and Harry finally shifted back into human form, Sirius had cooled down from finding out that his best mate was dating Snivellus. But Sirius knew he had to handle this carefully because he didn't want to risk losing his best friend.

"I'm happy for you!" Sirius said, to Remus once he was dressed. Though the man was exhausted, he still smiled and hugged Sirius. Remus found himself wondering why Harry hadn't said anything yet but found him curled in a corner, using the pile of clothes he'd been handed as a pillow. His soft snores could be heard throughout the whole shack. Remus and Sirius got Harry dressed and made their way back to the castle.

Harry was getting used to the transformations but they were still hard on him and he tended to get worn out easier that Remus afterwards. But unlike Remus, Harry was back on his feet within hours, while Remus was sore and stiff for the better part of the day.

"How does Harry feel about this?" Sirius asked, looking at the boy sleeping on his best friend's shoulder. The child's face was pale and clammy like Remus' was after a transformation. It still broke his heart to think about Harry undergoing these transformations. Harry was handling it better than expected but the child still struggled a little bit. Sirius figured it was a good thing that Harry was involved in brewing his own potions.

"He loves it actually. He said the 'more people to read to him, the merrier'... He's so much like his mother," Remus said, not bothering to mention that the boy was already taking on some of Severus tendencies. Sirius would probably figure it out the first time Harry glared at him for some reason. The four-year-old had nearly master Severus' famous glares. The Slytherins found it to be rather impressive.

That was another thing Remus was not eager to tell Sirius; just how close to Slytherin Harry was. Harry's Slytherin traits were undeniable; Sirius coming from a family of Slytherins would be able to understand that they weren't all bad. Remus knew Sirius loved Harry enough not to care but he also knew he wasn't going to be pleased by it either.

"Harry's been going to class with Severus' first years," Remus informed Sirius, sparking interest from his best friend. "He's seven years younger than the whole class but is already at the 'top of the class'. Severus was saying how much of a pity it is he can't actually apply marks to Harry's record now."

Sirius laughed at the idea that his four-year-old godson was beating out eleven and twelve-year-olds out of marks.

"Harry went to his first Quidditch game and had a great time with some friends from class. They've been looking out for Harry. A student has become a bit jealous of Harry and has not been the nicest to him," Remus said, causing Sirius to stop walking.

"What's been happening?" Sirius asked quietly.

With a sigh, Remus to Sirius about Paul Smith. To say Remus was angry was an understatement. Sirius was furious and if it wasn't for the fact that the child was a student and he was a man, he would have gone and taught that snot-nosed brat a lesson he wouldn't forget.

"How dare he hurt my godson! How many weeks detention did Snape give him?" Sirius asked suddenly.

"Five."

Sirius frowned but didn't complain anymore. Five weeks detention seemed fair enough.

"At least James and I were man enough to pick on someone our own age!" Sirius muttered before heading off to meet the Knite Bus.

Remus went back to his quarters and was happy to find that Severus was still sitting on the couch, reading a book and smiling. Not many saw Severus smile and Remus was pretty sure if any students aside from Harry saw the sight, they might run off screaming. But to Remus, the sight brought butterflies.

After he tucked Harry into bed, he curled into Severus' arms and told him about how Harry had "accidentally" outed their relationship. Severus burst out laughing and smirked towards Harry's room.

"That kids definitely a Slytherin."
