“So let me get this straight,” James said, cheeks pink from laughter as he, Sirius, Remus, and Peter all sat on the floor of their dorm, piles of candy scattered around them.
“Can’t get something straight if you aren’t!” Sirius sing-songed, making the whole group fall into fits of giggles again, Peter spraying an appalled-looking Remus with bits of chocolate.
“Fine,” James corrected himself after calming down, chuckling as he spoke. “Let me get this gay. When your mum said she said she was disowning you for dating this wanker,” he jabbed his thumb at Remus, who gave him an affronted look, “you not only ran away, but you–”
“Asked her if she would feel differently if he was my cousin, yeah,” Sirius nodded, clearly fighting back a mad grin. “You know, since the Noble Black Family tends to be so chill about inbreeding.”
They all sat silently for a moment, biting on their knuckles and swallowing their laughs, before James burst out in guffaws, starting a chain reaction of hysterics that couldn’t be calmed for the rest of the night.
