"Felix is going to commit murder. He's been planning his Pride outfits and apparently someone else bought some of the same fabric. Or just the same colour story? I don't know, but he was yelling about it. An outrage, apparently." Sirius hadn't been listening that much, but it had admittedly been exciting. He kept his arm around Remus, understanding how tough this was for him. But that why he was trying to brighten things up a little. If just for a few moments.

Harry looked like hell, Hartley looked exhausting too. it was all depressing, but Sirius had been told so often that he could change to mood in a room. He was certainly trying. "Remus and Holden are planning some kind of fundraising calendar for the bookstore. I might be on the cover."

"And that's a nude calendar?" Hartley asked with interest, turning to Remus. "Professional curiosity."

"He's a professional pervert," Sirius agreed.
