This story is based loosely on the movie - The Best Man/Unhitched - starring Seth Green and Amy Smart.

Thanks to my beta - Michy Drarry Shipper for agreeing to take this story on.

I have other Remus/Sirius stories - This is Love, A Lone Wolf, and Books About Wolves, so check those out.

Happy Valentines day everyone. Please, enjoy the story.


It was just another boring Friday at work for Sirius, another day where he was sitting at his desk, staring at the clock.

In a way, he was happy, as it meant there wasn't any trouble, which was a nice change from a few weeks before, when the Death Eaters were attacking towns almost daily, but he felt as though he was going crazy, just sitting around, bored. They could let him go home, and send a message if he was needed.

Sirius heard a sound at his window as he was flicking a bit of paper around his desk. He looked over, noticing a barn owl watching him, and got up to let the bird in. The owl landed on a perch on Sirius' desk and Sirius walked over, and untied the letter from the bird's leg.

He put the letter down on his desk, and pulled a tub out of a drawer, opening it and giving one to the bird. The owl hooted, happily, took the treat, and flew away again. Once the owl was out of sight, he drew his attention to the gold lined envelope on his desk.

After a minute of looking at it, he sighed and picked it up. He opened it carefully, as James came into the office.

"What have you got there?" James asked, pulling his own desk chair over to the other side of Sirius' and flopping down in it. He propped his feet up on Sirius' desk, and eyed up the envelope that Sirius was holding with curiosity.

Sirius shrugged, and pulled out the card and a letter. He tossed the envelope and letter onto the desk and read the large letters across the top of the card.

'Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin Would like to invite you to join them to celebrate their marriage.'

He glanced up at James, who raised his eyebrows in a silent question, and threw the card onto the desk between them.

"Wedding invitation," he said, as James took his legs off the desk, and leaned forward, picking up the card.

"Your mate Pettigrew actually found someone who'd marry him?" James sneered, throwing the invitation back onto the desk.

"He's not that bad," Sirius said, half-heartedly, as he picked the invite back up, and checked the date written on it. "Two weeks, he's not wasting any time... But Remus Lupin, that's a bloke's name. I knew Peter liked men, but I was so sure he'd end up with a girl, he seemed to prefer tall, leggy blondes."

"Not that he could pull a tall, leggy blonde," James said, a cruel smile on his face, "only the ugly ones. Hey, I bet this guy is worse looking than Peter," James laughed.

Sirius tried to hold back a smile, as he picked up the letter that came with the card. "I admit Petey isn't the best looking guy, but he's still my friend, so be nice, will you?"

'Sirius,

I know the invite will come as a shock, but what can I say? I met Remus and knew within days that I would have to marry him.

It's been a long time since we've spoken, but I still consider you one of my closest and dearest friends, and would like you to be at my wedding, and what's more, I'd like for you to be my best man.

I know two weeks isn't a long time, but I'm holding an Engagement party at my home tonight, and would love for you to attend.

I'll hopefully see you tonight.

Peter.'

Sirius passed the letter to James, and watched as he read it.

James sat in silence for a minute.

"Can I come?" He asked, and Sirius shook his head.

"Why would you want to? You hate Peter, Peter hates you..." Sirius said, a frown on his face.

"Well, I can be nice. Plus, he should get over it."

"You threw up on him, insulted his parents and tried to fight him," Sirius said, a hint of a smile on his lips.

James shrugged. "It sounds worse than it actually was..."

"Plus, me and you had a falling out and we stopped talking for two years."

"Fine, I won't come," James said, standing up to leave the office.

"See you at home?" he said, and Sirius nodded.

Reviews are good, they motivate the writers. We don't expect long essays from everyone (although long reviews are nice to read) even a few words just so the writers know you're enjoying their stories.

I love reviews :D
