Summary
This is not a diary! Even if it may appear so upon first glance, at least if you are an uninformed ignoramus, which most people are around here. Diaries are for girls.
And I am a man. Got it?
At least, on my way to becoming one. Prongs is getting on my nerves, gloating because he grew a beard this summer (though it would be very charitable to call the three hairs of pubescent fuzz gracing his chin a beard). He accused me of lathering his shaving cream on my chin every morning, despite the only thing growing there being peach fuzz. The nerve. (Yes, he’s correct. It smells nice, so?)

Summary
Set during Order of the Phoenix. Sirius hates being stuck at Grimmauld Place 12. Remus tries to keep him out of trouble, which is easier said than done.
“I dunno,” Remus says slowly, every word requiring tremendous effort. “I think you’re overdoing it.”
Sirius acts surprised, raising an elegantly arched eyebrow. “What. You wanted me to act presentable, didn’t you?”
Remus shakes his head, shaking his hand in front of him, too, like one would ward off evil spirits. “This…” he points at Sirius, “Is weird. You need to stop it.”
“What?” Sirius’s steps towards Remus, his voice low and full of mischief. “Scared you won’t be able to keep your hands off me, huh?”
Remus colours beet-red and sinks deeper into his chair. Too late, he realizes that Sirius must simply be joking.
