"Thank you for meeting with me, Mister Black and Mister Lupin," Professor McGonagall said stiffly as she led the two men to her office, looking tired. "I know the hour is late."
"It's Mister and Mister Lupin now, Minerva," Sirius corrected, gripping his husband's hand and peering around the halls, memories flooding through him. "I seem to remember you getting rather tipsy at the reception."
"Hm. Well, old habits and all," McGonagall said as she seemed to fight back a blush. "But no matter. We are here about-" she opened the door and led them into her office, "-your godson."
The godson in question was sitting in a chair, head down, looking both upset and angry.
"Harry!" Remus called to him, making him look up. "What happened?"
A furious mumble fell from Harry's lips, but nobody in the room caught what he said.
"What?" Sirius asked, confusion clear on his features.
"I-" Harry cleared his throat and bit his lip before continuing. "I turned Snape's hair pink. And...and when he tried to turn it back, I made it so it just...fell off."
A shocked silence followed, both Sirius and Remus fighting for their lives trying not to laugh. In a choked voice, Remus tried to say diplomatically, "That...Harry, you can't..."
But Sirius burst out in tearful mirth, his laughs echoing in the small office. "That's bloody genius, that is! Gods, what a prank! Prongs would have been so proud, Haz!"
Relaxing from his defensive posture and breaking into a smile, Harry lit up. "Really?" he asked, like he'd just been given the best compliment in the world.
But McGonagall stepped in, looking livid. "You two are obviously no help," she growled. "Just leave."
And, still laughing, Remus and Sirius hugged their godson, reminded him to invite Ron and Hermione to visit that summer, and headed home.
