“So how did the two of you meet again?” he asked bringing Sirius’s eyes up to his, he didn’t mention the flushed cheeks or the look in the other man’s eyes though it confirmed his belief that at Hogwarts Sirius had been more then a bit taken by Melissa

“I was out 2 months ago getting something for Harry because James couldn’t leave work, one of those Quidditch jerseys for little kids; well I went into the Quidditch shop on Diagon alley and she was working there, turns out her father owns it and she’s the manager… she recognised me instantly and we got talking and things went on from there”

“The manager” he repeated “she must have a bit of money from that” he said absently smiling at the waitress as she placed their coffees on the table with only a bit of a blush. It wasn’t every day that she got to serve two gorgeous men after all.

“She does” Sirius said zoning out as he blew on his drink

“No” he said shaking his head “Nor did he have sex that day, I may not have much sense but I have enough”

“Bloody hell Remus we met that day and we did nothing… what kind of person do you think I am?” Remus grinned

“I was winding you up you stupid dog” he stated “Anyway so is she more pretty than school or less?” Sirius shrugged

“She looks better now then she did at school” Sirius remarked almost bitterly “She’s not pretty anymore she’s beautiful” Remus bit his lip and fiddled with his mug as he spoke

“Prettier than Keeley?” he asked, When Sirius looked at him he merely shrugged “Look Pads I may be Keeley’s big brother but I’m also your brother and you’re my pack mate, you relationship with Keeley is nothing to do with me so don’t think I’ll turn my back on you or something because I’m not”

“I know Moony” he said then closed his eyes “It truth she was but then again I always thought that Melissa was the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen” he remarked this time the bitterness was clearly marked. Remus looked at him sharply then continued speaking in the same vaguely interested voice he had been using before
