Harry Potter Oneshots From Every Era

Not So Secret

RemusxSirius

Lyall and Hope Lupin weren't the type of people to worry too much about their son. He may be their only son, and they may still think of him as a little baby that needs to be comforted, but they didn't smother him.

Remus was very thankful for that, and they were quite pleased to say they didn't "Annoy" their son like some children complained. So, when they were woken up at midnight by a loud banging from their sons room, they weren't really that bothered.

He probably just fell out of bed, or something. The full moon was in two days, he was probably having a nightmare.

When, however, they heard it again, and this time with a loud shout they began to get worried. Hope slipped out of bed after her husband and they slowly made their way over to their sons room, where they could here their son shouting.
'-Hell, Sirius!'
'I wanted to come and profess my love to you, Remmy!' Replied a familiar voice. To say the married couple were confused at this would be the understatement of the year. This became the understatement of the century when they heard their son reply with, 'Really, Siri? We've been dating for six months and you picked midnight in the middle of the holidays?'

They heard a bark-like laugh and their son shouting again. 'Are you- Your not- Have you lost your mind?' They heard the window creaking open slightly, and now Sirius Black's voice was the same as their sons. 'I missed you.'
'So you chose midnight?'
'Romantic... Okay, maybe not. But i wanted to see you and Mrs Potter said i would have to wait till tomorrow. Well, this is tomorrow, so...' The pair went silent for a little while and Lyall seemed to think this was a good time to intervene.

He pushed the door open slightly and gasped loudly when he saw what was happening. His son and his boyfriend were locked in a passionate kiss, only pulling away when they heard Hope's gasp at the door.

Remus' eyes shot open and he stumbled away, looking fearfully at his parents. 'Mum! Dad! Uh.. D-did i w-wake you up?' His face was bright red and he looked like he wanted nothing more than to just disappear, while Sirius was clearly trying to suppress a smirk.

Lyall felt a tap on his shoulder, and looked to his wife, who was grinning widely and holding her hand out to him. Suddenly, he remembered a conversation of a few weeks ago.

Hope was standing at the bench, looking thoughtful. I walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, making her jump slightly. 'What are you thinking about?' I asked, and she seemed happy to get the issue off her chest. 'I think Remus might be gay, you know.' This statement shocked me a bit, but i listened anyway. 'When James, Peter and Sirius came over yesterday i couldn't help but notice that he was sitting cuddled up to Sirius. Holding his hand and stuff... I just wondered...' I shook my head and chuckled. 'They were probably just joking around, you know. I bet you five Galleons he's straight.' Hope seemed thoughtful for a second, before holding her hand out to me. I had meant it as a joke, but i decided i was definitely right. There was no way he was gay.

Lyall groaned slightly and dug into his pockets, pulling out five fat, yellow Galleons. Hope didn't waste a second to drop them into her pocket, and Remus seemed more than shocked to see his parents had bet on him, never mind being totally not bothered that he was gay.

Hope and Lyall turned around and shut the door, only hanging around to hear a few sentences of the boy's conversation. They heard Remus sighing loudly, and 'Now, where were we?'
'Shut up, man, Pads.'
'I love you too, Moony.'
