Prompt 19 - Angel/Demon AU
@wolfstarmicrofic April 19th - 423 words
"You need to stop telling him that being nice to people is the right thing to do!!" The demon says as soon as the three of them are alone in the bedroom.
"You need to stop encouraging him into fights!!" The angel presses an accusatory finger into the demon's chest.
"He needs to learn to stand up for himself!"
"He needs to stay safe!"
"You both need to stop telling me what to do!" Harry snaps, and it cuts both angel and demon short. "I'm not a child anymore, alright?! I can make my own choices!!"
And with that, he closes the bathroom door with a loud bang.
"Great, now you've made the poor kid cry" Remus scowls at the demon.
"I made him cry? You're the one who's always bringing up the flames of hell stuff!" Sirius is so offended that Remus is trying to blame this one on him. They both know Harry would be crying in the bathroom regardless, he's quick to tears under any kind of strong feeling. They were both there when Harry teared up seeing those puppies last week. They were very cute puppies, but that's beside the point.
"As motivation!" Remus huffs, and pulls a cigarette out.
"Well it's motivating me to want to commit arson is what it's doing" Sirius grumbles as he watches the Angel light his fag. It's a godly cigarette, so it'll smell like daisies or spring clouds or something ridiculous like that. Sirius is too proud to ask the angel for one, but Remus offers one anyway. They've known each other for a long time.
They stay silent.
"You cannot tell me that Dudley kid didn't deserve the punch in the face he got" Sirius grunts, lifting himself up to sit in the windowsill.
"Harry's got a mean right hook" Remus says, and the demon can tell he's fighting a smirk.
"Almost like his old man, huh" Sirius tries to go for a playful tone, but it falls flat. James had been their favorite kid, and the sadness over his death still weights heavily on them both.
"Stop encouraging him into fights, he's gonna get kicked out of school" Remus says, and it's an argument as old as time.
"He's not" Sirius scoffs
"Is too"
"Is not, and if he were, I know where that old headmaster lives" Sirius says. Dumblepants doesn't stand a chance.
"You really need to to tone down the arson, Pads" the angel says. Sirius barks a laugh, Remus really knows him well.
