"And you waited that long after she'd left Hogwarts to even speak to her?" Andromeda asked,
apparently in approval.
"Yes, ma'am," he mumbled.
Andromeda raised a brow. "Call me ma'am again, Remus, and I'll hex your tongue right out of
your mouth. And I have a feeling that's one of many parts of you that my daughter would sorely miss."
He flushed bright red and looked down, mumbling incoherently about the Black family and how
they would certainly be the death of him.
It was not Andromeda's lack of shame, nor Dora's, that had Remus groaning and
wincing at his kitchen table that morning, though.
"Merlin, Hermione how did you do it?"
"He owed me a life debt."
Sirius was in his house. In his house and very much alive. Alive thanks to Hermione,
who had taken Remus into the Department of Mysteries, performed Blood Magic, and
brought Sirius back through the veil that had claimed his life a year earlier.
And now the very much alive Sirius Black was masturbating in Remus's shower
while loudly singing Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" as though it were just
another morning and he had not been dead the day before.
Sirius skipped into the kitchen a few minutes later wearing nothing but a pair of old
jeans and the silver chain around his neck, hidden beneath soaked locks of black hair. He
reached for Remus's cup of tea and grinned before taking a sip.
The corner of Remus's mouth quirked upward when Sirius choked on the liquid
and spat it out in the nearby sink.
"Merlin, how are the two of you surviving?" Sirius grimaced and put the mug of tea
back on the table in front of Remus.
"Good morning, Sirius," Dora said brightly as she walked into the kitchen.
Remus quickly gulped down half of the mug of tea while she was watching.
"It is a good morning!" Sirius beamed brightly. "Do you know why it's a good
morning?"
Dora walked behind Remus, wrapping her arms around him from behind and
kissing the top of his head. "Would it have anything to do with what you were doing in the
shower? If you don't plan on using Silencing Charms while you're staying here, don't expect
us to use them, either."
