Author's Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] benebu at [livejournal.com profile] hp_wishes. This fic is set in the time before James and Lily died, and the characters are most certainly not mine.

“You know what? I can't believe I ever married you,” Sirius yelled as he paced up and down Petunia's apartment.

“Well it comes as a surprise to me too,” Petunia remarked haughtily, her arms folded and her eyes narrowed.

“Look, I have the papers here so if you'll just -”

Petunia interrupted him, she had had a brainwave. “I bet it was those magic friends of yours, playing a trick on you. You do realise it's April Fool's Day, don't you?”

“Don't be ridiculous! They wouldn't do something like that...” Sirius thought long and hard about that statement before he realised that they probably would.

“You're friends with James Potter,” Petunia spat out his name, “Of course he would do that!”

“Look, it doesn't matter either way -”

“It matters to me!” Petunia screamed, crinkling her nose as though Sirius was a bad smell.

“As I was saying, before you kindly interrupted me, I have the divorce papers here so if you'll just sign your name we can get out of this mess.”

Petunia halted, she was heavily suspicious of those wizards and their ways.

“Unless of course you'd rather stay married,” Sirius winked at her and grinned.

“Ugh!” Petunia snatched the pen out of his hand and wrote her name quickly.

“Good day,” Sirius smirked as Petunia held the door open for him, promptly slamming it shut as soon as he had left.

“Don't be ridiculous! They wouldn't do something like that...” Oh, Sirius, how can you be that dellusional?

I just love the dynamics between those two - Sirius can't help it, his tendancy to charm anyone comes back even when discussing his divorce. I so picture his face if Petunia had taken him up on his offer and elected to remain married.

I'm grinning rather foolishly right now. Thank you!

That was my plan all along...

I seem to feel something like the muse waking up from a long sleep. Maybe I can contribute to bring more Sirius/Petunia fic to the world? Time will tell, I guess.
