Christmas Fic [25.12.04]
"The comedy is that it's Sirius serious."
Remus Lupin, when pressed, would never admit to giggling. He was fifteen years old; giggling was viewed as both feminine and insane. But he just couldn't help it! Sirius would do the most hilarious impressions of their potions professor; of the fat old groundskeeper; of that horrid slimy Severus Snape. Something inside him just cracked. The giggly laughter cascaded out of him like water from a broken dam. No one else seemed to find it funny.
It wasn't until year later, lying intertwined with Sirius, that he finally realized what had been so funny.
