Thump

"Paddie, what do you think you're doing?!?"

"I'm supposed to put it in there."

"Yes you are, but not like that!"

"Relax Moony, lie back, I've know what I'm supposed to do."

"Really..." Remus said, a devious tone in his voice. "I thought we were two about this."

"Well ... eh ... what are you doing Moony!?"

It just happen to be so that the Potters walked by out side the nursery door, James and Lily stopped for a moment.

"Helping you out, as you seem to need help with sticking it in correctly."

Lily lifted one of her hand to cover her mouth in surprise, James had told her Sirius had had a crush on Remus for the larger part of their school time, but Remus wasn't ... like that, was he?
Both she and James leaned unknowingly closer to the door.

"But, but, but..."

"Easy Padfoot, I know what I'm doing."

"You-, you've done this before?"

"Yes." he said impatient "Now apply this, it will make it a lot easier."

"Okay ... you ready?"

"Sure."

Thump, thump!

"Ouch!"

"Sorry, I'm sorry Moony."

"Bloody hell Sirius! You're usually not this physical!"

"I said I was sorry."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever Padfoot. My turn."

Thump, thump!

"God dammit! It's in too far, pull it out, out Moony!"

James almost chocked, and turned to his wife, who's face had the same colour as a sun ripe tomato.

"Can't - its stuck!. Can't we leave it in?"

Lily shifted uncomfortable, and moved even closer to the door.

"Eh ... well, if you like to, I guess. Now where do we put this?"

"I thought you were the expert."

"Haha Moony."

"You said you were. Just choose a hole."

"But there's so many!"

"Not my fault!"

"Okay, this one?"

"Will it fit?"

"No, too small -- but the other one's too big."

"Padfoot, the world doesn't depend on your choice."

"I have a feeling you'd like Lily here instead of me."

"She doesn't complain all the time."

James did a pretty good impression of a fish out of water, while Lily just stared at the closed door.

"I don't complain!"

"Do so! Now just put the bloody thing into the damn hole!"

"Okay! Are you ready?"

"Yes. Today would be fine too Padfoot."

Thump, thump. Thump!

"Ow, %@#/%!"

"Sorry Moony, I didn--"

"I got a feeling of déjà vu here Padfoot. Just try not to be so ... excited."

"I'm not!"

"Are so!"

"Not!"

"Whatever."

"Am not!"

"Stop acting like a baby. My turn, give that to me."

"Not fair!"

"It's kind of small."

Lily couldn't suppress a giggle. "I'd figure." James was still not over the comment about his wife, and dangerously at her.

"I'm braced."

Thump, thump!

"That's it?"

"Padfoot, remind me to never buy furniture from IKEA ever again?"

Both Potters sighed in relief. "I know they weren't ... you know."
James nodded at this. "Padfoot maybe, but Moony's ... not like--"

He was cut off by a warm chuckle from Sirius, and the sound of a kiss. "Sure love."
