RL with Remus

[why_so_me]

They day after the virus, Sirius was in the Gryffindor dormitory, curtains to his bed drawn. Inside, he was supposedly working on an essay that was due for Prof. Flitwick about Summoning Magic, and he did indeed have his books open and a quill scrawling across parchment. However, his handwriting had devolved into illegible blots of ink and long scratches that nearly tore through the page. Sirius barely seemed to notice.

He hadn't talked to Remus or James or Peter or really anyone since waking up that morning. It was plain he was in a terrible mood, but he refused to let anyone in on what had happened. Even alone in his room, he glared at the paper.

Remus groaned, blushing pretty hard now, and moved away, inching towards the side of the bed. "God, alright, alright, I've got to leave now, if you're going to keep going on about me t-turning you on..."

"Nooooo, don't leave me, Moony!" Sirius wailed, although the grin remained. "Without you I will sink into a fit of despair and existential woe. I will then die my hair purple, get all sorts of body parts pierced, and start blasting punk rock at one in the morning the night before exams."

Remus shook his head at Sirius, though he stopped running away from him in that moment. "You'd better not if you don't want a seriously angry, sleep-deprived werewolf coming after you in the night," he said, joking, but kind of meaning it at the same time.

"I won't, so long as I am kept from soul-sucking angst and despair," Sirius said, unable to even pretend that he was being serious. "But it might be a difficult task, since I'm so serious and all."

Remus sighed. "Well, as long as you quit it with the 'turning you on' jokes, I'll be able to forgive you for the fact that, however your name might be pronounced, serious you definitely are not, Padfoot. Look up 'not serious at all' in the dictionary, and I guarantee there will be a description of a boy quite similar to yourself there."

"I would absolutely do that, Moony, if 'not serious at all' were actually a word," Sirius chirped. "Though I have to admit, the naming thing couldn't have gone more backwards if my parents had even tried."
