Obviously don't own HP or characters.

Day 1:

“You could’ve ruined my life! Not to mention you could’ve gotten Snape killed!” snapped Remus.

“I mean are any of us going to shed tears over Snivellus?” Sirius blurts out before he can use that useless bit of flesh between his ears.

“Fuck you Black! All you care about is getting one up on Snape. You’re so obsessed with him I’m surprised you haven’t fucked him already to get it out of your system.”

“Ew, Remus! That’s Grotesque.” Sirius said as he started overdramatically heaving.

“Not as grotesque as someone who is meant to be my best friend trying to get me to kill someone. Do you have any idea what that would’ve done to me?” demanded Remus. Sirius’ dumbstruck face was all Remus needed to know that his friend hadn’t even thought of the consequences of his ‘prank’. “Forget it” he muttered as he walked away defeated.

Day 2:

“I’m really sorry Remus. James explained to me that when it comes to your wolf I have to treat you like a girl on her period. Do you need a heating charm applied?” Sirius asked in a genuine tone. “Ouch what was that for?” he asked holding his bloody nose and watching Remus wring out his hand from the impact.

“I’m not a bloody woman you idiot. You’re taking advice from a man who has been chasing and failing to get someone for years. I am not emotional about my wolf. I emotional that my best friend tried to have me thrown in prison via homicide”. Remus rants and storms away.

“I’m going let James know I’m your best friend not him!” Sirius shouted after him.

Day 3:

“James I just don’t know what to do. He won’t speak to me and your advice is atrocious. Treat him like a girl honestly.” He shook his head.

“In all fairness Pads I didn’t say tell him he is like a girl. I meant you need to do nice things for him. Be sensitive and for Merlin’s sake take some accountability.”. James let his head bang to the table wondering how the hell this is his life.

“James you’re sounding an awful lot like Remus right now. Is it your time of the month?” Sirius joked. James looked at him in disbelief. That man is never going to be forgiven. RIP Marauders.

Day 4:

Remus had taken to glaring anytime he saw Sirius which was quite a lot as said boy was following him around like a lost puppy.

“Please forgive me! I’ll do anything! I’ll do your homework and cook you breakfast”. Sirius begged.

“How kind of you to offer help me fail school and die of food poisoning” Remus answered sarcastically.

“Come on Mooney! The group just isn’t the same without you being all teacher like on us. We even miss your sweater vests and books”.

“You are aware that I am still talking to James and Peter, right?” he asks.

“Ok fine I miss you! Better? Come on tell me what I need to do to make it up to you?” Sirius begged going as far as to kneel on the floor.

“Just prove it to me Sirius that you actually value our friendship. You broke my trust, you put me and another person in danger, you helped my secret get out and quite frankly I don’t know if I can forgive you for that”. Remus’ voice was thick with emotion.

It was in that moment it finally hit Sirius how much what he had done had impacted his friend. So, sue him he was slow on the uptake, but he had planning to do.

Day 5:

Remus woke up the next morning to Sirius sitting on the bottom of his bed holding flowers in one hand and a whole bag of chocolate in the other.

“I am truly sorry for what I did. I did not consider how what I did would affect you. As penitence I come baring flowers and chocolate with the added bonus of a month free pass to prank me any way you see fit without retaliation.” A wicked gleam showed in Remus’ eye and Sirius knew he was in for a full month of trouble. “So do you forgive me?”

Remus jumped from one end of the bed to the other pinning Sirius “I will forgive you at the end of the month Pads”. He pulled Sirius close and stroked his hair. Sirius would not know for several hours that his hair was now yellow on one side and green on the other.
