"HELLO? IS-THIS-MY-FRIEND-REMUS-LUPIN?"
"Sirius, you don't need to shout."
"REMUS? IS THAT YOU?"
"Who else?"
"REMUS! I AM CALLING FROM A PAYFONE!"
"You mean payphone."
"THAT'S WHAT I SAID. ANYWAY, JAMES AND I WERE WONDERING, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO JAMES' HOUSE NEXT WEEK?"
Remus' breath hitched a little.
"Really? You want me to come?" His voice was soft with insecurity.
"OF-COURSE! MERLIN, REMUS, YOU-CAN-BE-A-BIT-DIM-SOMETIMES."
Remus' eyes began to water a little bit. Mainly because his ears were painfully ringing, but also because he had never dared dream he would have friends as good as Sirius Black and James Potter.
