A Proper Haunting

“I’ve arranged to have the house haunted,” Remus announced casually.
Severus looked up. “Indeed. Why’s that? Missing the Hogwarts atmosphere?”
“You have to admit that a good haunting gives a place a homely feel.”
Severus shook his head. “I'll admit no such thing. Plus, it takes years to arrange a proper haunting by a reliable ghost.”
Remus smirked. “Not when you have connections.”
“What?” Severus narrowed his eyes. “You didn't...”
Remus grinned. “Yep! Sirius said he'd be happy to haunt us!”
Severus was still shell-shocked by the time Remus left, until an idea occurred. He smirked. Yes, that would work.

“You're taking this well,” Remus observed.
Severus shrugged. “The decision’s made.”
Remus looked guilty. “It's just... growing up I had a ghost, and it takes ages to get a reliable one. Then I thought of Siri...”
Severus suppressed his shudder. Black? Reliable? “Mm.”
“Here he comes,” Remus said as an amorphous figure floated down from the ceiling, coalescing into... a dog.
Severus smiled. “By the way, I took precautions against malevolent hauntings. Ghosts in this house must take a benign form.” He smirked at Padfoot, who promptly lifted his leg in Severus’ direction.
Remus snickered. “This’ll be interesting,” he said.
