Written after beren-writes on livejournal posted this: 'After talking about clichés in my previous post I now have this desire to start a story like this:"It was a dark and stormy night ...""No it wasn't." But I have no idea what to do with it after that!Anyone want to play a game? How would you go on?' ...This is how I would go on ^_^

"It was a dark and stormy night…"
"No it wasn't."
"Yes it was, now be quiet. The ickle firsties asked for a story. It was a dark and stormy night, and all was quiet in the halls of Hogwarts…"
"Wrong again. There was a party going on in every dormroo-"
"Moony."
A sigh. "Yes, Pads."
"Ahem. Yes, all was quiet-sensible people tucked away in their beds, but others…they had much more perilous ideas…"
And thus Sirius Black continued to frighten and delight the small crowd gathered at his feet, drawing screams and laughs and gasps. Remus rolled his eyes and walked upstairs as the ravenet leapt forward toward an unwary listener and yelled, successfully making the poor girl faint.

"…He flung the door open to see what the horific moaning was, only to find a chalky, dark-haired demon, which merely at him looked up at him, killing him with a single scream…; that, my dear first years, is why you never go to the Shrieking Shack."
All of them nodded, pale-faced and wide eyed, before drudging up the stairs and to their rooms. Grinning, Sirius skipped jauntily up the stairs, tugging off his cloak and throwing it in his trunk before grabbing his pajama pants and going to change.
When he returned, bare-chested, he peeled back the sheets of Remus' bed and wriggled close to him, stealing his warmth in the chill of the winter night but returning it twofold as he enveloped the werewolf in his arms. "Do you have to tell them that story every year?" The honey-blond asked over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow. "Of course, pet. How else would I make sure no one disturbed your safehouse, hm?" He pressed a kiss to one of his boyfriend's many scars, humming in content.
"Besides, you know it's true...Snivellus was definitely screaming when Malfoy walked in to see he and James writhing on the floor."
Remus smiled at this and turned on his side to kiss Sirius before returning to his side and curling back into the animagus' warmth.. "Now, sleep. We have a test in the morning, and we can't be l-Sirius…S-Sirius, stop… Sirius! Nnnn…" Hand scrambling for his wand, Remus did a wordless Silencing Charm before Sirius managed to untie the drawstring of his pajama pants, hands going to assist him.
