(In this one-shot Remus is single and doesn't have teddy)
Remus POV:
"Sirius, get your feet off the table!" I shouted as I paced about the kitchen. 
"I don't see why you're stressing so much, Harry comes and visits every year. Just think this year you have me staying in your humble abode to help you deal with the little rascal." Sirius replied with a dramatic smile. Harry was coming to stay with me for Easter break, just like every year. I always over stressed about the cleanliness of my house and how to make it perfect for Harry. He doesn't get to spend his holidays with his parents like the other children, so I want to make sure he has memories to tell his own kids one day. 
"Sirius. Feet, now." I shouted at the man at my table. Sirius has been staying at my house for a week now and even though he's one of my greatest friends, he can be annoying. He dramatically removed his feet from my table and scowled at me from above his newspaper. 
"Moony, Harry doesn't care if your house is tidy or not, he would be happy literally anywhere as long as he's with you." Sirius tried to reassure me. I know I shouldn't really be looking after him, technically Sirius should as he's his godfather, but as Sirius doesn't have a permanent home, so he stays with me. I don't have kids so Harry's like a son to me, he's like a son to all of us. But he painfully reminds me of James, he was almost a spitting image of his late father the last time I saw him. A bang from outside interrupted me from my thoughts and made Sirius spill his tea. 
"You better clean that up," I said as I moved towards the front door. 
"Of course. I wouldn't want my little famous, baby godson slipping and breaking all of his precious, famous bones in your house." He said dramatically before pushing in front of me and opening it.

"Harr...oh my," Sirius said, sounding shocked. I rushed towards the door to see what was shocking him, and I too was shocked. He had grown up and was a spitting image of his dad. Tears formed in my eyes as I turned away for a moment, how was I going to survive this? "Prongs." I heard Sirius whisper. 
"Uh, can someone tell me what's going on? And hi Sirius didn't expect you to be here." Harry said. 
"Um, you've grown up. A lot." I said as I turned back around. 
"And you look just like your father," Sirius added. 
"Oh I um I'm sorry," Harry said awkwardly. 
"No no don't be sorry, it's not your fault. Here come in and let me take that." I rambled as I took his bag. 
"To be honest, that's a compliment. Your father was probably the second most attractive man in Hogwarts, after me of course." Sirius said as he shut the door, causing Harry and I to smirk. "Sirius, make yourself useful for once and take this upstairs to Harry's room," I said as I gave him Harry's bags. "Here Harry, come and sit, you must be hungry," I said as I directed him to the kitchen and shutting the door. "Oh thank god you're here, Sirius has been driving me crazy." I sighed. 
"I thought he was staying in the Leakey cauldron?" Harry asked as he sat down. I realised how low his voice has got and again sounded exactly like James. 
"Yes well, that didn't end very well. Let's just say he doesn't agree with the way people treat him like a normal person and thinks he deserves better. I've already heard about 50 times that he's your godfather so that technically makes him famous and deserves the best treatment possible. Plus he couldn't meet with the rent so I'm letting him stay here for free." I said while getting items from the cupboards. Harry nodded. Sirius burst in, 
"why did you shut the door?" He asked, looking slightly hurt. "Force of habit," I replied with a smile that seemed to return him back to normal. 
"So Harry, how's school?" Sirius asked excitedly as he sat across from the boy. 
"Fine, it's nice to have a break though. Hermione's been stressing over future exams and Rons been rambling about all the stuff he's planning to do in these holidays so I needed a break." He laughed.
"How's Snape?" Sirius asked with a look of disgust. 
"A prick!" Harry spat, causing Sirius to burst out laughing. 
"Harry, language!" I scolded. God this boy has defiantly grown up since I've last seen him. 
"Sorry Moony, it just slipped out." Harry apologised as I placed a sandwich and glass of pumpkin juice in front of him. 
"It's okay, it's the truth," I said with a smirk which made Harry giggle. Sirius was still laughing and holding onto his sides as he laughed. "Padfoot, calm down." I laughed. 
"This... boy." He said through fits of laughter and wiping his eyes. I rolled my eyes and got him a glass of water as he started to cough. 
"He gave me a detention for sneezing the other day," Harry said in disgust. 
"Well maybe if he actually dusted his room, then you wouldn't have to sneeze. That greasy git." Sirius said after calming down. I raised my mug in agreement, 
"when I worked at the school, I suggested that he should use a cleaning charm or something on his room and I received dirty looks for the rest of the year!" I added. 
"God I shall always hate that slimeball of a man," Sirius said and both Harry and I nodded in agreement.
