Fortunately for Remus and Sirius, the two toddlers were at the Weasley’s for the day. Unfortunately, they still had an Order meeting to attend. Opening the Floo, Sirius took his seat at the head of the table and Remus hovered by the kettle. Last night had not been a very happy one for the happy couple.
 
 “I cannot believe what he is suggesting.” Remus sighed, going under the covers with Sirius just coming out the bathroom. “How he could think so wholeheartedly that Ginny Weasley is a Death Eater.” Absentmindedly, Sirius listened to Remus but was busy taking out his earring. “He’s too young to make those types of decision, too naive to how emotions play roles in gratifying decisions.”
 “We did at only a year older than him Remmy.” Sirius reminded him, “And none of us were very smart with our decision were we?”
 
“You’re saying that like it wasn’t always you and James making those decisions and Pettigrew and I tagging along.”
 Scowling, Sirius said with disgust, “Don’t say that name in this house again.”
 Remus sighed, “Sirry, come on now-"
 “He killed James and Lily!” Sirius whisper-shouted, emotions raw like it was just yesterday.
 
 “He wasn’t evil, Padfoot.” Remus gently tried to begin and explain but Sirius wasn’t having any of it.
 Taking the covers off, Sirius took Remus' pillows from behind Remus' head and threw them on the floor. “Go to the couch.” He stated, voice not wavering or moving from any form of emotion but burning and raging anger.
 “Sirius come on now, we aren’t children. Just try and act reasonable-"
 “That’s all you want me to do- grow up! Why can’t I act the way I act?”
 “I never want you to change Sirius, but act mature in certain situations such as this one!” This time, Remus was the one to act irrationally and take the pillows, conjure a blanket then go into the living room.
 
It was a stupid fight, they both knew that. At the back of his mind, Remus was sure it was only petty because, they both feared for the safety of the people they loved. Because everyone has those fights don’t they? Before or after the death of a loved one. A child dying and the parents cannot get along because, they both remind each other of that child. A parents passing is when someone immediately says ‘who is in the will’.
 
Green light after green light zoomed into a blaze as the Order members flowed in. Greeting Tonks, they could tell she was nervous about this. However, Remus told her she could see Teddy whenever she wished to and it felt like she immediately relaxed. Mad-eye moody acted exactly like normal- mad and moody- but what else is to be expected from an elite Auror? Kingsley, they decided, was a very weird character. He was mysterious, dressed like Merlin, but very calculated too- a very confusing character. Snape was the last to enter the room, it suddenly freezing and Snape being the only one able to wade through the snow storm with balls of hail that stuck everyone else to the spot.
 
“Oh please, let the party go on. Do not let my presence stop you.” He drawled; Remus barely able to hold in an indigo laugh with Shaklebolt covering a chuckle with a cough when Moody looked at him. Mundungus Fletcher was also not very liked as Sirius saw him poking around the back of the kitchen while everyone else was distracted by Snape. Flicking his wrist, Sirius made Fletcher jump, quietly squeaking from the pin feeling he got on his lower half. Tapping his foot in thin air, Sirius acted like he didn’t do anything wrong.

Moody was the first to take a step forwards, “He needs to leave.” His voice having a slight bit more growl than previous times. “Snape cannot be trusted- away with who Dumbledore believes he can trust I say!” Bill and Charlie glanced at their former professor and the Auror. No, they did not like Snape- in fact they despised Snape as much as Snape despised them- but they knew Snape would not betray the order. Especially, with a person he loves like a son being the third target to the Dark Lord.
 
Standing up, Charlie looked less intimidating compared to Bill, but what he lacked in height he made up for in muscle, “I don’t think this is your battle to pick, Moody.”
 “Snape has proven he is on our side, and Dumbledore trusts him- who is the leader of this cause.” Added Bill, standing tall (too tall whined Charlie in his head) compared to his brother.
 
“He has the mark.” Snarled Tonks, her hair turning a tinge of red.
 “He’s called a spy for a reason, Nymphadora.” Defended Remus. Behind Moody was Mundungus, Kingsley and Tonks who were four very influential people in this group. Compared to everyone else, they were the most important to the cause of the war if Snape was not accounted for.
 
Don’t call me Nymphadora.” Hair now flaming red Sirius thought of cowering for a volcanic eruption.
 “Don’t you dare talk to Remus like that, Tonks.” Sirius finally spoke up, clearing the room to silence, “Snape is the godfather of Draco- who I think of as a son, much like he does. He wouldn’t betray us, not like some others have who we were sure we could trust. He risks his life day in and out when going to those meetings and sitting right at the table with a fuck-large snake that snacks on humans, Werewolves ready to tear at his throat on Voldemort’s command-" he repressed a smile at their flinches, “and Voldemort himself. Just so we have insider information. Either treat him with respect, or this place is banned for meetings.”

Remus walked over, placing a hand on Sirius’ shoulder that instantly calmed him as he relaxed into the softness of the press. “I’m proud of you.” Whispered Remus, and that was enough for them to know the fight was over- and thank Merlin for that Sirius thought I could never stay mad at Moony, he’s moony!
