Crumpling up a piece of paper, Severus threw it at Remus's forehead and watched it bounce off again. He used the hand still holding his quill to cover his mouth, but for once, the pain and sadness and bitter disgust for everyone around him that was always present in his eyes had been replaced by something almost like mirth.

It didn't last long. "Remus? Hi, sorry, but do you want to stop for today?"

Severus went back to being a block of ice. "Your bird's calling." Ooh, rash language and in front of someone else! Severus sank down a bit. "Didn't meant to interupt girlfriend time."

His eyes flickered up towards Remus again. Idiot girl. Ruined everything.
