Prompt- professional

Remus eyes the foundation, shaking his head. "No way, James. I am not wearing makeup," he grumbles.
"It'll cover the scars. Make you more presentable."
Again, Remus just shakes his head.
"At least wear my robes," James offers, finally putting Lily's foundation away, much to Remus' relief. "Yours are worn out. You're going to the bloody Ministry, for Merlin's sake!"
"Yes," Remus says flatly, adjusting his threadbare robes. "And if you're right about Black, dangerous might work better for me than professional."
James sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, but he doesn't argue further. "Just...don't get killed. Dumbledore would have my head if he knew."
Remus grins, swallowing down his nerves at the reminder of how much this plan teeters between dangerous and stupid. "Right."
OoOoO
Remus tries not to shrink under the weight of the grey eyes sizing him up. He can't falter, not now, not when James is counting on him.
"You're not really looking for a job, are you?" Sirius asks, and Remus can't help but to shiver.
"No," he admits with a nervous smile. "I was actually hoping to find you."
Please don't let that be too forward, Remus thinks as he closes his eyes.
"Well, you've found me," Sirius says, and Remus can practically here the smirk in his voice. "Now what do you plan to do with me, Mr...?"
"Lupin," Remus supplies, opening his eyes and refusing to look at Sirius. "And I didn't really think that far ahead."
