Let the Tea Leaves Fall

LET THE TEA LEAVES FALL

Summary:

Sirius frowned down at the teacups. “There are so many other things I could be doing with my time. Are we taking this seriously, really?”

Or: the Marauders practise reading tea leaves in preparation for a Divination exam, and see more than they bargained for.

Characters: Sirius, Remus, Lily, James, Peter

Words: 2,350

Notes: Written for coyotesuspect in the 2019 Remus/Sirius small_gifts fest, for your prompt #2: “tea leaves ain’t shit” ;-)

(No, I don’t actually think any of the Marauders would have taken Divination to N.E.W.T. level. But let’s roll with it…?)

Thank you to Small Gifts beta extraordinaire liseuse! And thank you to my friend A. who came up with a fitting idea when I was trying to figure out what to see in Remus’ teacup.
