Todays @wolfstarmicrofic prompt is wizard, and I’m doing my best to get back into my more substantial projects, I promise
(569 words.)
“Mr Lupin, you are, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most infuriating wizards we have had! Would you care to tell me why the entirety of your charms class started laughing uncontrollably apart from you?” Minerva asked, arms folding. He merely shrugged, casual smile playing across his face.
“Dunno, Minnie. Must’ve dodged the charm.”
“And you expect me to believe that? Flitwick has been undoing this all afternoon! I’m going to assume Mr Potter had a hand in this.” Another shrug, and another wave of frustration over Minerva.
“Couldn’t tell you.”
Minerva runs an irritated hand over her face, stopping to rest at her temple for a moment.
“Merlin, I’m going to have to call your parents in, aren’t I?”
“If you wanted to.”
Without another word, Minerva pulled her desk drawer open, grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill, and wrote to his parents, purposefully avoiding the phrase ‘little shit’ as she went.
“Wotcher, Minnie!” Sirius chirped, strolling down the corridor and shooting her a smile.
“You haven’t changed one bit, have you?” She said back, unable to hide her own smile at his infectious cheer. Remus wrapped an arm around Sirius’ waist.
“What’s our son gone and done?” He asked, and Minerva exhaled, watching them pointedly.
“Jinxed the entirety of his class into uncontrollable laughter.” A pause, and Sirius chuckled heartily.
“Oh, that’s bloody brilliant! How long’d it take to undo?” Remus, quite clearly biting back his own laughter, turned to his husband.
“Sirius! We have to be adults, here.”
“Please, Moony, we did way worse.”
“Mmm, we did. Still, not the time to go on some big tangent about that time we accidentally made everyone in the castle sing for 6 days.”
“You told him that?” Minerva asked, stunned.
“…maybe. To be fair, I did tell him how long we were in detention for!”
“You told him about how it made us get together.” Remus added.
“Well, you told him about the quidditch commentating incident!” Sirius protested.
“And you told him about chucking all of the Slytherin’s luggage into the black lake.”
“Yeah, I don’t think a lecture from us will be as impactful as we want it to be.” Sirius concluded.
“It’s fine, I’ve got a plan.” Remus waved him off easily.
They followed Minerva to her office, where Teddy was sitting with his arms crossed. He turned his head at the arrival of his parents, smiling like he had done absolutely nothing wrong.
“Hey, dads.”
“Professor McGonnagal here tells us that you’ve been tormenting your class?” Teddy just shrugged.
“Don’t know what you’re on about. No evidence.” Remus swiftly nudged Sirius to make sure he didn’t start laughing again.
“Well, I’m glad I’ll be able to start keeping an eye on you, then!” Remus said cheerfully, feigned relief flooding through his voice. They all watched as Teddy’s face dropped.
“What?”
“Oh, did I not tell you? I accepted a position here. Starting in September. I’m your new DADA professor.”
“You’re not.” Teddy said, voice low, like he was trying to talk Remus out of it.
“Mm, but I am.” He said with a tranquil smile, turning to Sirius, who nodded. Minerva watched the interaction and tried to keep from chuckling.
She hadn’t realised that Remus had accepted the offer yet, but she was so fucking glad that he had.
With a casual clearing of the throat, she leaned in and added,
“You’ll be serving all of your detentions with me.”
