Wolfstar with mistletoe? (Possibly enchanted by James)
it would be before they got together, so likely christmas their 6th year, when they are totally into each other, but are also in Deep Denial
meaning everyone knows they want to go to bonetown
so james hatches a plan (and probably ropes peter into it, lbr)
see, you know that part in chamber where dobby bewitches the bludger to follow harry fucking everywhere? well, in similar fashion, james, ever the chaotic good genius that he is, takes some mistletoe, casts some spells, and waits
it starts on christmas morning. they wake up with their dorm all decorated and lovely, and there are piles of presents at the foot of all their beds, and it’s all p pleasant as they open their gifts from each other, split their sweets, and share some laughs and smiles, yada yada
when, after some strategic maneuvering, peter (at the whims of james, no doubt) says, “uh oh, look who’s under the mistletoe!”
and wouldn’t you know it, it’s sirius and remus who are under the mistltoe, which is hanging mid-air above them
and at first there are just eyerolls and casual blushing, and comments like, “why would the house elves put mistletoe in the boy’s dormitory??” and other general “no homos, as they go to move away
but see, here’s where the genius comes in, bc they go to move away, and the mistletoe follows them
but then covers it up bc he doesn’t want to be found out
the casual eyerolls and blushing is increased, and supplemented with a bit of annoyance, as remus and sirius are like, “okay, haha, good joke,” and they go to move again, and it follows them again, so they’re just like -.- and, to outsmart it, move to opposite sides of the room, bc it can’t follow both of them!
a high-pitched screeching noise that makes them all cover their ears until remus and sirius are forced to get closer to each other again. kissing distance, if you will
it is about this time that they begin to suspect there may be a problem
“what the fuck?” they rightly wonder aloud
“dude, i think you have to kiss to make it stop,” speculates james, except he’s not really speculating. he knows that’s exactly what they have to do to make it stop. inside he is screaming with glee
(peter just looks mildly uncomfortable, but he always kind of looks like that so no on rly notices)
this puts remus and sirius between a rock and a hard place, bc they can’t very well go around the rest of their lives side-by-side with a mistletoe stalker, but on the other hand, they super duper can’t put their lips on each other’s lips
like, sure, maybe internally sirius is like “!!!!!!!!” and inside remus is like “ :0 :0 :0″ but not possessing the power of mind reading, they are not going to say these things outloud
so instead they say “well i’m not kissing padfoot,” and “well i’m definitely not kissing moony”
james just smiles wickedly on the inside
so their christmas day continues
a high-pitched wailing can be heard from the bathroom while they take turns peeing, bc the side-by-side thing has some limits
they have a snowball fight on the grounds that ends fairly quickly because sirius and remus keep trying to run in opposite directions and the screaming is giving everyone headaches
christmas dinner with dumbledore and the other professors is so unbearably awkward, mostly bc none of them even ask about it, they just all pointedly avoid eye contact with remus and sirius, and smile these obnoxious, tiny, knowing smiles
remus and sirius can’t even enjoy their christmas pudding, and that’s just evil, bc that’s the best part
back in the dorms, they’re sitting by the fire, the only gryffindors who haven’t gone home for the holiday
“do you think the enchantment will go away once it’s not christmas anymore?” asks sirius
“maybe,” says james. he’s lying. it won’t
“are you going to wait and see?” asks peter
“we don’t have much of a choice, do we?” says remus
“you could just…you know,” peter presses. both sirius and remus blanch
“you realize,” says james helpfully, “that if you decide to wait until to tomorrow to see if the enchantment wears off, you’re going to have to sleep together”
and no, they hadn’t realized that
they look at each other in horror, not saying anything, but both obviously thinking the same thing
james knows. he knows what they should do
“you should just kiss,” he says
and there’s a good long pause, bc james is right, they’re being incredibly stubborn, it’s just a tiny kiss, nbd, why should it matter?
except it matters a lot, but neither one can explain to the other why it matters so much, because they are both idiots
then, at the same time, sirius is like “oh for god’s sake,” and remus is like “fuck it” and they just
and at first it looks like they’re just gonna slam their mouths together and then pull away and repress the memory
except then they don’t pull away
in fact, it’s been several seconds, and they’re still going at it
and sirius’ hands are cupping remus’ face
and remus has a grab on the front of sirius’ robes
and they are full on macking
james throws his hands in the air like he’s just scored the goal of the century
peter clears his throat. sirius and remus pull away, both looking horrified
james, laughing, pulls out his wand and mutters something that makes the mistletoe explode into a bunch of tiny glittering sparks
sirius and remus gape at him
“you had the countercurse the entire time???”
“who do you think enchanted the damn thing in the first place?”
boxing day will be filled with awkward conversations and “so um, what are we?”
but for tonight there is only one objective
send me wolfstar/mwpp/hp things to reply to/drabble to in order for me to escape christmas hell
