Drabble: Playing Cupid

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.

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!
