Remus offered a sheepish smile at Lily whilst Marlene gaped in what he thought was horror but turned out to be just shock at the news.
"A werewolf? And you didn't tell us- TREACHERY!" Marlene declared to which Sirius cackled, Remus not amused. Whether she was trying to lighten the mood or - diffuse the tension -, he found it a more pressing issue.
"And what do the other names mean?" Lily demanded, taking no notice of Marlene's comment. "Prongs?"
"Yes, love," James winked egotistically. When she showed no sign of ceasing her glaring, he spluttered, "I- . . . uh . . . it's a bit of a long story, shall we say."
Remus cringed at the 'small talk'. "You aren't, I dunno-"
"What, scared?" Lily scoffed. "Moony, you line your quills up and for Merlin's sake, you do Pottah and Black's laundry! I can't even imagine- even I nearly pass out from the smell, God knows how you fair! Anyway, not the point. How could we be scared, Remus? Everyone's said it, even you; you're still you."
Remus swelled up with happiness to the point he almost cried.
"Yeah, Re," Marlene said, "You really thought we'd be scared? Are you fucking serious?"
"AHA," Sirius blurted as he scribbled inaccurately on some spare parchment he couldn't refrain from manhandling. "That is also a long story."
James choked on air. Or his tongue. Maybe it was his drink. Or just Sirius' words. Sirius' totally, true, mother fucking words.
