Sirius and Remus are idiots. Do they really think they're hiding the fact that they love each other from me? One of their best friends? I mean, come on. Well, I'm going to do something about it and what better time than Christmas?

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize...the inspiration came from a story I read earlier but I don't really remember what it is called...hehe oops


(Cooper's POV)

Those IDIOTS! Why have they been avoiding each other for the past two days? Did that little make-out session not get them to realize their feelings the other one has? UGH! My work is never done.

I was walking to the Great Hall thinking of what I could do when I saw Frank Longbottom walking the opposite way from me and a brilliant idea hit me.

"Oy, Frank!" I yelled, turning and running to catch up with my savior. "I need a humongous favor."

"Yeah, anything, for a price," Frank smiled down at me. Damn, even at my 5' 8" size he was still taller.

"Anything." I'm going to regret this, I just know it.

"I need you to get Alice on the astronomy tower New Years Eve, right at midnight," he told me.

"But, I'm supposed to meet Rey and- ah, forget it. She'll understand." Frank smiled widely at me. "Now, what I need you to do it..."


"Remus," I yelled, running up to him. "I need to talk to you."

He turned and look at me. He looked bloody awful with his hair everywhere and greasy and bags under his eyes. He looked like he was about to die and it wasn't even a full moon.

"What do you wa-" I didn't let him finish before dragging him down the hall and into a shadowed corner near the Gryffindor common room. "Cooper, I need that arm. Will you stop and tell me just what has gotten into you?"

I faced him with the harshest glare I had ever given anyone. "What's gotten into me? I give you the perfect bloody opportunity to finally tell Sirius that you like, possibly even love, him and you go and blow it. He LIKES you too! Why are the two of you the only ones that can't see it? I mean, I've heard love was blind but this is ridiculous."

It was Remus' turn to glare at me. "What were you thinking of making me do that? Sirius doesn't like me, he's straight, the biggest player in the school. Why can't you understand that he will never love me?"

"Because you're wrong. Sirius has never slept with any of those girls. He only goes out with them to keep up appearances because his parents would have murdered him. Now that he is no longer a part of their family, he is free. Have you not noticed that he hasn't had a girlfriend since his parents disowned him?" I was getting really frustrated. I had always thought Remus was the smart one.

"It doesn't matter anyway, Cooper," Remus said softly. He looked as if he had lost everything he had ever cared for. "It doesn't matter because Sirius will never love me the way I love him, as more than just a best pal, and it tears me up inside that it will never be more. You're lucky you found Rey, but I don't think it'll happen with Sirius and me. If a friend is all he will ever think me as, then I'll take it. Anything is better than nothing, right?"

I looked at him softly and placed my hand on his are. "You really do love him, don't you?"

"Yes, Cooper, I really do love Sirius." I was about to pull him into a hug when a small gasp cause us to look up to see a smirking Frank and a shocked but elated Sirius.

"Um, I'll just be going now," I said walking towards the new arrivals. "You two have a lot to talk about." I pushed Sirius closer to Remus before grabbing Frank's arm and heading inside the common room.

"I think that went quite well, don't you?" Frank asked me as we sat on the couches.

"Indubitably my good man," I told him, conjuring up two butterbeers. "Shall we toast to our success?"

"We shall."


(Sirius' POV)

Oh. My. Godric. Remus Lupin, just said he loved me. If I were in my animagus form, my tail would be wagging like it were high. I can't believe it. I am the luckiest guy in the world right now.

"Erm, h-hi Sirius," Remus whispered, not looking at me in the eyes.

"Remus, was what you said true?" I asked pleadingly. I needed to know that it were true.

"Yes, Sirius. I do love you. I have for a long time an-" he couldn't finish what he was going to because I had pushed him against the wall and started kissing him like I were drowning. It was even more amazing than the first time. I felt him shiver slightly when I started kissing down his neck and smiled when he moaned in reaction to me nibbling on his ear lob.

"Remus," I whispered huskily into his hear, smiling even more as he shivered again.

"Y-yes, Sirius?" he replied shakily.

"I love you, too." He looked at me, smiled then pushed me up against the wall and repeated what I had done to him.


(Cooper's POV)

"They've been out there a while," Lily commented. She had noticed Frank and I toasting and asked us what we had done. We explained to her our plan and now she was waiting with us as well as most of the Gryffindor common room. "You don't think something has happened, do you?"

"I hope so," I replied. "This has been building up for a long while and I hope to Merlin something is happening to them."

Lily was about to retort when the portrait hole opened and Sirius and Remus walked in hand in hand, hair and clothes disheveled. They were shocked to see everyone staring at them. It was silent until the whole room burst into cheers, awes, and cat-calls. I smiled widely and stood in front of them, hands on my hips.

"Well, its about bloody time," I told them and pulled them into a big hug.


A/N: I hope you liked it. Just a short little blurp for the holidays. I want to thank the writer that wrote the fic that inspired this. I don't remember the story or author's name but...yea... anyway, review if you want. I don't really care.
