Cool Lupin X
With a nod to 
thunderemerald's fic No Big Deal- which must be read, if you haven't read it already. (Be nice and review, too!)

"This is just a twist on something Sirius pulled on him once," Tonks explained to Fred as George was carefully writing out a note on a slip of parchment. "But the potion is all my idea, and when we put the two of them together..."
Fred grinned. "It's brilliant. We really have been looking at this from much too simple a standpoint."
George grunted in agreement, not looking up from his work. "Comes from dealing with school-age clientele," he said. "Done. Tonks, take a look and let me know what you think."
She dropped down beside him at the table, studying the paper. "It'll pass, I think. He won't be looking for a trick." She quivered with contained laughter as she passed it to Fred. "You've already got the formula for the potion, right?"
"I've had it memorized since second year," scoffed Fred, snatching the note. "Just don't forget to let me know if anyone is coming." With a nod at his fellow conspirators, he hurried off for Snape's lab.

They heard Snape shrieking before they saw him, mad-eyed, pelting up the stairs toward Remus' room. The twins and Tonks, who had been playing Wizard Chess while they waited for the event, abandoned the game and hurried after the aggravated Potions Master at a safe distance. The three of them lurked on the steps, trying to stifle the painful gasps of laughter threatening to burst from them, as Snape pounded on Remus' door and demanded an explanation.
"What the hell is this, Lupin?" he screamed, all composure gone as he brandished a note at the door. "I told you to stay out of my lab, and I find this? How dare you insinuate such things?"
Remus opened his door just a crack, and frowned at the other wizard. "I've been in here all day; what are you going on about?"
"Love potions! Aphrodisiacs! On my personal items! And THIS! Deny that it's your writing!" He shoved the scrap of parchment at Remus, who accepted it with curiosity that quickly changed to shock as he read.
" 'O Sev, my love, your skin's so pale
Like purest alabaster white
I must confess, I dream so oft
of buggering you all night...' "
