"Time, gentlemen!" Tom watched as the regulars finished their pints and shuffled out the door. "Closing time, Ministry regs - sorry, Mr. Lupin. We're closed."

Lupin smacked both hands down against the bar. "Tom. I'll pay you double. But if I don't bring back a pickle and salmon sandwich with olives, my life won't be worth living."

Tom had heard worse combinations. "I'm sorry, but - "

"You don't understand. He's having another craving, Tom."

"Oh." Tom altered a sandwich and thrust it into Lupin's hands. "How much longer?"

"Six weeks." Lupin smiled weakly and disapparated.

"Poor bugger," said Tom.

*snigger* Poor Remus. At least Tom has enough sense to know who's more dangerous: the Ministry or a pregnant wizard with cravings.

[ellid.livejournal.com]

The latter. No question.

I've just got this image of nearly-term Severus, in all his indignant glory, marching up to a ministry pencil-pusher and demanding to know why he can't have his salmon sandwich, dammit! ;-)

"But if I don't bring back a pickle and salmon sandwich with olives, my life won't be worth living."

That's such an adorable line.

And very, very true....:)

Sweet. Hehe. Severus would have cravings. Luckily Remus is willing to please.

And they'd be weird ones, too. :D)

*snicker* This reminds of stories my dad told me of when my mom was pregnant with me. The night manager of the McD's where we lived at the time used to stay late with 4 strawberry sundaes ready every night for 3 months.

That's better than pickle and salmon. :D

It could have been worse. It could have been banana and salmon pizza...

Ick.

*giggles*
Yeah, sensible man, Tom. :)

No kidding. Even at 8+ months, Severus can be a scary, scary dude.

*hee* Just six more weeks, you can do it Lupin! =D

*crosses fingers*

No kidding. Thanks!
