"Come on Sirius! We're gonna be late. I swear it takes ya longer to get ready than a lass does." Remus calls from downstairs.
"Jus' give me a minute, Moony. I'm almost ready." I finish combing my hair and run downstairs to where Remus is waiting next to the door. "Ready?"
He rolls his eyes, "I was ready a half hour ago." We walk outside and get in the car, Remus pulls out of the driveway. After a few minutes of driving, we get to James's house, Peter, Lily, and Severus are already there. We go inside and James greets me with a punch on the shoulder, "We've been waiting for ya, mate. What took you so long?"
"Sirius spent an hour getting ready," Remus tells him.
James gives me a once over, "It took you a whole hour to dress like a hobo?"
"He's a hot hobo." Remus says, wrapping his arms around me from behind.
I chuckle and place my hands on his. "Yeah Prongs I'm a hot hobo." I correct and lean into Remus' body. The smell of chocolate, whiskey, cigarettes, vanilla, and wool fill my nose. I can never get enough of it either.
"I heard a certain Snevelus is here." I raise a brow and peer over to the living room, landing eyes on one Severus Snape. Although Lily and him are best mates I can't stand the sight of him.
Moving away from Remus' embrace I go to the others and give Lily a polite kiss on the cheek greeting. "Hello Lily darling how are you holding up with this fool you call a boyfriend?" I tease and nudge her shoulder while looking at James. "I'm fine thank you Sirius." Lily replies with a soft smile. I plop down next to her and Remus sits next to me, moving me so he can sit next to Lily. They engage in some talk, about books they are reading or other things.
After an hour or two of idle chatter, Peter announces that it's snowing and everyone goes outside. "Snowball fight!" James says, throwing a snowball at Lily.
"Oi! I'll get ya for that James!" She says, chasing after him. Severus and Peter join in, shouting and throwing snow. I nuge Remus's arm, "Come on," I grab his hand and lead him towards the house. I can practically hear Remus roll his eyes as I pull him along.
We go inside and into the kitchen. I sit on the counter and pull Remus close. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am, who're you?" I reply, earning another eye roll from Remus. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. I can feel James and Peter's eyes on us through the window, but I don't care.
