Small gifts returns!

[magnetic_pole]

Coming up soon: sign-ups for the seventh annual Remus/Sirius year-end exchange, rs_small_gifts!

Cue Remus and Sirius, relaxing on the couch in front of a roaring fire, tucked under an enormous plaid blanket, snuggling.

S: SEVENTH?
R: You say that like it's a surprise, Sirius.
S: It's just...seven years is a long time.
R: [Nods.] As long as we were at Hogwarts.

More snuggling.

S: It's a powerful number, seven. Seven players on a Quidditch team.
R: Seven floors at Hogwarts.
S: Seven secret passages out of Hogwarts. [Sirius chuckles, pleased with himself.]
R: Seven Horcruxes.
S: [Shudders] Don't remind me.
R: Seven years of bad luck for dropping that mirror when we were moving into the flat.
S: [Glumly.] More like seventeen, when you count the time I spent in Azkaban.

Sirius grumbles, shifts, frowns at Remus.

S: Are you trying to cast a pall, Remus? I thought this was a festive event."
R: [Remus ruffles Sirius' hair.] Seven days in the week.
S: Better.
R: Seven wonders of the world.
S: Even better.
R: The Seventh Seal, The Magnificent Seven, The Seven-Year Itch--
S: Seven-year Itch? What's a seven-year itch?
R: A Muggle film from the fifties, with Marilyn Mon--
S: I figured as much, you and your 'movies.' [Waves hand in air.] But what is it?
R: [Looks at him fondly for a long while.] Nothing you'd understand, Sirius, and nothing you need to worry about. Ever.

S looks ready to protest, then R and S kiss. Fade to black.
