Remus' House

[Remus J. Lupin]

Julia looked up, laughing.
“You’re hungry, I trust?” she asked, as Remus entered the room as well.

[Sirius Black]

"You bet!" Sirius nodded happily whilst rubbing his stomach, "I haven't had anything to eat all day! I had to escape from my mother, you see.... What's cooking?"

Sirius looked over Remus's mother's shoulder, inahling the delicious smells.

[Remus J. Lupin]

“On the table, there’s some muffins,” Julia pointed over to the oak table. “I’m still cooking though.”

[Sirius Black]

Sirius nodded before wheeling round and pushing past Remus.
"Coming through!" he yelled as he darted towards the table and grabbing a muffin.

Without bothering to retrieve a plate, Sirius sank his teeth into the muffin, savouring the sweetness that flooded his mouth.

[Remus J. Lupin]

Remus snorted.
“He really loves his food,” He commented.
“And speaking of food.” Julia said, as Mousebreath the barn owl flew in through a window and landed on Sirius’ head.

[Sirius Black]

"Aarggh!" Sirius dropped the muffin as the owl landed upon his head, its sharp talons denting his scalp.

"What is it?!" Swiping at the 'thing' with dirty hands, Sirius danced around wildly, "Whatever it is, it made me drop my muffin!"

[Remus J. Lupin]

Remus snorted.
"That it is Mousebreath, Sirius." he laughed, walking over and letting the owl glide onto his arm.

[Sirius Black]

"Oh." Sirius felt foolish. More than foolish.
"I knew that." Grabbing another muffin to conceal his embarrasment, Sirius threw himself into a chair.
"These are lovely, Mrs Lupin!" he complimented, mouth stuffed with crumbs.

[Remus J. Lupin]

Julia smiled.
"Thank you, Sirius. Oh, and it's Miss Lupin. I'm not married."
Remus made a slit throat movement behind his mother.

[Sirius Black]

Sirius's eyes widened as he saw his friend gesturing. The peice of muffin he had been in the process of swallowing became lodged in his throat.

Dumbstruck, he nodded.
"C...certainly, Miss Lupin." he managed to splutter as his face darkened.

[Remus J. Lupin]

Julia frowned, her pale face -like Remus' face- held concern.
"What's wrong, Sirius?" she asked.

[Sirius Black]

"N....nothing!" Sirius clapped a hand to his throat.
"Please excuse me!"

Sirius tore open the door to the garden and rushed out into the fresh air.
Once 'safe' he bagan to cough and splutter, the chokes errupting from his body and numbing his mind.

Within a few seconds of this, a white lump shot through the air, landing on a tussock of grass a few feet away.
Breathing deeply, Sirius straightened up.

Once his breathing was normal once again, he stumbled through the door into the kitchen.
"Sorry about that..." Although his comment was directed at Mrs. No - Miss Lupin, his eyes were focused upon the floor.
"I guess I was eating too quickly!"

[Remus J. Lupin]

“Are you sure, Sirius? You looked distressed once I told you I was a ‘Miss’.” Julia asked, while Remus sat down at the table.

[Sirius Black]

"No, no!" Sirius laughed forcedly, "I just choked, that's all!"
Hastily, the raven haired boy sank into a seat beside Remus.
"How long have you had the owl?" he asked in a desperate try to change the subject.

[Remus J. Lupin]

Remus shrugged.
"Ages. And it likes the back of heads," he grinned.
