“You actually think this’ll work?” James murmured, peeking around the corner and eyeing the door of the broom closet nervously. Inside, two voices yelling could be heard, though the words were muffled.
“Either it’ll work, or they’ll kill each other,” Peter murmured, also leaning out, looking just as scared.
“I mean…I know they’re idiots. But how thick can they be?” Marlene asked, leaning around the corner as well, worrying at her lip. “Merlin, Sirius never shuts up about Remus-”
“Nor Remus about Sirius-” Lily agreed, peeking around as well, twirling her hair in her fingers. “It’s gotten ridiculous.”
The voices had gone quiet.
“At least you don’t have to live with them,” James grumbled. “The sexual tension’s gotten to be a bit much, really.”
“Not to mention the fighting. Like cats and dogs,” Peter nodded vehemently.
“Or wolves and dogs,” James chuckled, eyes sparkling, sneaking a knowing look to the shorter boy.
But before either of the girls could question his strange correction, a loud bang from the closet made all of them jump, and Lily ordered, “Alright, let them out!”
All four friends rushed to the door, and James reached the handle, releasing the locked door, allowing Sirius, now clad in only his underwear, to fall sideways out of the small space, a shirtless Remus landing on top of him.
For a moment, all six people stared at each other, Remus and Sirius bright red, until James burst out, “Success!” while high-fiving Marlene, who looked just as thrilled.
“Alright, nothing to see here,” Remus grumbled, pulling himself and then Sirius off the cold stone floor.
“Yeah, fuck off, Prongs. We’re busy,” Sirius grinned, waggling his eyebrows.
“Oh, gross,” Lily mumbled.
