Random Post - Though I'm better than randomness.



There were quite a few ways someone could be bored. Most of those were perfectly unobtrusive and might even go past unnoticed. To anyone who knew him, it wasn't too surprising that Sirius didn't do boredom in any of those ways. He was ostentatiously bored.

Right now he sighed for the third time with in the last minute, fingers leafing through the book he used for not-studying. Not-studying was the thing he did sometimes, so he'd not have to feel guilty for not having studied and still managing to ace his way through much of everything. Not that he generally felt terribly guilty, which was why not-studying was really something he didn't bother with often. Unless he was very, very bored. Like now.

Unfortunately, of all the people in the world, the one he was trying to reach through right now was best at ignoring his show of boredom, at least when he was reading. And after the fifth time of saying 'Moony', just to smile and wave when he looked up, that didn't work anymore, either.

They were in the common room and Sirius supposed they weren't alone there, but James wasn't around and there were people and there were Marauders, and there was really no question which of the two he needed to get over this boredom.

He was starting to get rather offended that he was being ignored for a book here. It was impolite, really. And here Remus kept saying he was the rude one. It took him about thirty seconds to convince himself that he was fully within his rights to bother Remus. To most people, what he had been doing so far might count as bothering, but this was going to take a bit more than just that.

So Sirius draped himself across Remus's lap by virtue of sprawling out on the couch, giving him about a split second to decide whether to lift his book away really fast or whether to let it get trapped underneath Sirius. Seemingly oblivious to that potential dilemma, Sirius smiled up at Remus. "What do you make of that weather we've been having?"

He had a classical education, he could do small-talk with the best of them. If Remus ignored his boredom, he'd just have to make him be bored, too. It was a fight for justice, really.
