CHAPTER •°• twenty three

WHEN FRIDAY EVENING finally came along Remus was waiting, fully dressed and with the invisibility cloak in hand, for Sirius to get out of the bathroom.

He was already five minutes late, but Lupin was not surprised by that and besides, it probably meant that he cared.

Also, now that Remus finally knew what drove Sirius's actions and that he didn't have to be afraid of him cheating with Maggie, he started to trust him again. Of course he still had his doubts and questions, but it was bearable and he didn't pay too much attention to them most of the time.

The door to the bathroom finally opened and Sirius went out with his hair styled perfectly, in a leather jacket, a simple t-shirt and trendy jeans.

James gasped silently and added quickly with a hint of mockery.

"Maggie's dick would be so-" But before he got to finish Sirius smacked him in the shoulder while walking by.

"You disgust me." He said with a superior tone and Remus snorted under his breath.

He watched as Black ignored James laughing at him, put his stuff on his bed, took his bag and came closer to the door.

"Ya ready?" He asked with his cowboy tone and Remus, gently reaching for his hand answered.

"Sure." He smiled softly at Sirius who, he was almost certain, blushed slightly.

Lupin already reached for the handle to open the door, but before he got to do that James spoke again.

"You two are so cute." He sighed deeply. "It's so funny you didn't realise what you felt sooner." He decided and Remus glanced at Sirius, confused, noticing that Black was also glancing at him.

"Wait... does it mean-" Started asking Remus, suddenly realising that he was right and James had to know everything since the beginning.

But before he got to finish his sentence, Sirius cut in.

"You son of a bitch!" He shouted, though his tone was amused. "I knew it!" He threw at him and James just laughed smoothly.

"See, I'm just an ultimate matchmaker." He decided and Remus huffed on that with a hint of mockery. "I matchmade you two, I am going to matchmade Maggie with Shackelbert, or whatever his name was, and I matchmade me and Lily." He counted out. "Wonder who's next."

"An ultimate pain in the ass maker is what you are." Mocked him Sirius, and Remus looked at him proudly. Ever since he started to hang out with Maggie, his retorts became somehow better. "You matchmade shit, Prongs." He pointed out and James laughed loudly.

"I will matchmake Dumbledore with McGonagall one day, you'll see." He promised and Remus laughed on that as well.

"I live to see that." He announced and Sirius only shook his head. Potter, on the other hand, opened his mouth as if he wanted to add something more, but before he got to speak, Sirius said.

"Anyway, we got to go, see ya later, Potter." He saluted, for Merlin knows what reason, and opened the door.

Remus smiled innocently at James while walking out but before the other Gryffindor said something, Black closed the door behind the two of them.

"Finally." Sirius shook his head, squeezing Remus's hand slightly and Lupin glanced at him, still smiling.

"Yes." He nodded and the two of them covered themselves with the invisibility cloak, just in case McGonagall saw them and asked where they were going, and started to make their way to the statue of the old witch.

The way passed them rather calmly, on exchanging whispered comments between each other and holding hands. There were not many students around so they didn't really have to worry about bumping into someone.
