Drabble: Playing Cupid

[mysid]

The sirius_remus100 is celebrating Valentine's Day with the prompt "Valentine's." I decided to let James play Cupid for the puppies.

"Why are you and Remus fighting?" James asked without bothering to sit down.

"We're not—"

"Save it. I'm running late for my date with Lily, and if you two don't kiss and make up before—"

"He thinks I forgot Valentine's Day."

"But you bought him a gift in Hogsmeade."

"I'm waiting for tomorrow. It's Lupercalia, and—"

James sighed and shook his head. "You daft bugger. Do you think Remus would prefer celebrating a holiday that reminds him that he's different, or Valentine's like a normal person?"

"Oh damn," Sirius muttered as he jumped off his bed.

"That'll keep him busy," James thought, and he headed down the stairs to a waiting Lily.

Oh, how perfect! Like Sirius, I thought, Lupercalia! A day just for Remus, but luckily, James is so very wise. *g* Wonderful drabble!

I've read many fics in which Remus and Sirius quite enjoy Lupercalia, but I decided to go a different direction with this drabble.

Clever James.

*grins* James is so knowledgeable about reading Remus.

[mysid.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is; lucky for Sirius. What are friends for?

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

Ah, James. Such a good friend -- to both of them. :-)

Of course, he did have an ulterior motive. If I were James, and trying to have a romantic Valentine's Day with Lily, I wouldn't want my date disrupted by Sirius in a bad mood.

Heh, this is true!

Ah. Thank goodness Sirius has James as his best mate. Very cute

Seriously Sirius!? What do you thing Remus would prefer a cheese and fluffy Valentine's day with loads of chocolate or some Roman festival celebrating his 'wolfness'?(I actually didn't knew what Lupercalia was so had to Wiki it x.x) Good going James, who knew he could play Cupid?

For a while, there was quite a fad of writing "Lupercalia" themed fics for Remus/Sirius.

I'm fairly new to them so that's probably why I didn't knew.
