Sleeptalking

Confessions

"Moony? Moooony. Moony. I know you're in here."

"What do you want?"

"Well, that's one way to make me feel wanted."

"I'm trying to read."

"No, you're not. You're trying to hide."

"From who, exactly?"

"I dunno. Haven't actually figured that out yet.

"Well can you at least let me 'hide' in peace."

"Hmmm. Nah I'm bored."

"Hi bored, I'm Remus."

"Did you just-?"

"Hey, you're the one that won't leave me alone. Now you have to suffer through my puns."

*a minute passes in silence*

"You know Prongs was joking yeah?"

"About what? Prongs tends to joke a lot."

"About Lily. You know he's crazy for her. He's just mad that you two are friends, while she despises him."

"Despises. Hmm. Big words for you Sirius."

"Oh shut it. I must be spending too much time with you."

"Well, it's not like a more extensive vocabulary is bad. Consider yourself improved."

"Extensive? New word to add to the list. Anyway, I know what you're doing."

"What am I doing?"

"Avoiding the topic."

"Huh. You're not as stupid as you look, Pads."

"I honestly feel so attacked right now."

"Moving on. Yes, I know James was joking. I'm not sulking cause of him."

"Then why are you sulking?"

"Who said I was sulking?"

"You did."

"Did I?"

"I swear, I'm going to go insane after prolonged exposure to you."

"Prolonged exposure? More big words. Been reading a dictionary?"

"Nah, I heard Lily say it to James."

"Ah. Of course."

*a moment of silence*

"So, you ready to tell me who you like?"

"What makes you think I like anyone?"

"Oh please. I think you yelling at James that you like someone other than Lily was enough of a hint for me."

"I did not yell."

"I beg to differ."

"Learnt that from Lily again?"

"No, from you actually."

"Oh."

"That was the first time I've seen you lose your temper. You're pretty scary y'know."

"Thanks? He was kind of getting on my nerves. At least he now got the point. I Remus Lupin do NOT fancy Lily Evans."

"Which brings me back to the point."

"What point?"

"Who do you like?"

"Sirius. You are the biggest drama queen Hogwarts has seen. Why would I tell you?"
