“Are you a Leo?” Remus asked, suddenly looking up from his book.
“What?” Severus hesitantly sat down his sowing project.
“Your Zodiac sign. Are you a Leo? You act like a Leo.”
“I’m a Capricorn!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! I was born January 9th.”
“Maybe you’re secretly kidnapped and your parents made up a new birthday for you to keep from getting discovered.” Remus suggested.
“I’m literally my mom’s twin, anyway she still has the c-section scars.”
“Maybe she had a c-section, but it was a stillborn so she kidnapped you and just got lucky and you looked like her.”
“There are pictures of me as a newborn in her arms….Well, a picture. They didn’t really take very many pictures of me.”
“Maybe so they weren’t discovered.”
“But there’s still that picture.”
“Maybe they stole you from the hospital on the day you were born….It’s more likely than you being a Capricorn.”
“It is not. I was born in January.” Severus insisted.
“Leos like attention.”
“I hate attention.”
“You love attention, as long as it’s coming from me or one of your friends.” Remus disagreed.
“I’m a Capricorn.”
“What are the Capricorn traits?”
“Hardworking, honest, direct, loyal, persistent, sensitive….Other stuff I can’t remember.”
“You hate hard work, and you’re not honest, you're just blunt.”
“Same thing….I do hate hard work, but I do it. That’s what hardworking means.”
“I’m a Pisces.”
“What’s your birthday?” Severus moved his project so the needle would stop poking into his thigh.
“March 10th.” He sounded proud. “Which means I’m exactly two months and one day younger than you.”
“I knew I should have got with Lily instead.”
“You’re gay….Why Lily?”
“She’s exactly three weeks younger than me.” The ravenette revealed.
“Really?”
“Yeah, she was born January 30th.”
“Oh, yeah. I forgot….What’s her Zodiac?” Remus only knew his own as he wasn’t really big on astrology. That was Pandora, mostly.
“She’s an Aquarius.”
“Lily acts like an Aquarius.”
“I highly doubt you know any of the Aquarius traits.”
“What are they?”
“ Unique, humanitarian, altruistic, impulsive, artistic, loyal, optimistic, and intelligent.” Severus listed out on his fingers.
“How do you know more Aquarius traits than your own?”
“There are less Aquarius traits.”
“I still think you’re a Leo.”
Severus smiled, looking down as he went back to his sowing. “Shut up.”
