Chapter 2: Pillow Fight
Remus awoke to the moans of Harry and growled. He was exceptionally annoyed, he hadn't had a proper nights sleep in days, well 2 to be precise. And if there was one thing Remus needed, it was sleep. He chucked his pillow over at the moaning, shaking boy. Him and his damn nightmares. Remus was actually surprised his father couldn't hear the racket Harry was making, but then again, Ted had been known to sleep through an earthquake, so anything was possible really.
"No, don't take Cedric, I'll die, let me die, I want to die. Damn you!" The boy screamed attacking the pillow Remus just threw at him in his sleep. Remus cocked his head to one side thoughtfully, this was the first time Harry had mentioned a name. It was definitely a link with his old life, and maybe, if he mentioned more of it, Remus could get him shipped back to where-ever he came from, and back to sleep filled nights. Remus smiled at the happy thoughts. Harry shuddered in his sleep and Remus was drawn back to the sleeping boy.
Said boy, had taken over his bed. It was irritating really, he was here so Remus could 'bond' with him, make sure he wasn't lonely at Hogwarts, (not like there was high risk of that happening, a boy like Harry could never be lonely), and therefore they were sharing the same bedroom. Remus being as gentlemanly as he was offered Harry the bed. Harry had at first declined the offer and an argument broke out. It was stupid, neither felt like they could take the bed, and then Ted had come upstairs. He obviously got the wrong end of the stick and had told Remus off for not letting Harry have the bed, Remus obviously pissed off had shouted at his father, Harry and the portraits before storming out the house. It was raining and Remus got soaked through.
"Did I wake you again?"

(Harry's PoV)
Harry woke up with a start. It was pitch black outside and Harry could see the stars glimmering in the distance. Remus' shadow was cast onto the bedroom wall. Harry smiled seeing the werewolf in thought, it was a nice feeling, being near his adopted godfather. Something Harry didn't plan on telling him. He lay back and snuggled under the duvet, feeling a little guilty. It was Remus' bed and he should have been in the bed, not Harry. He'd tried to tell him that the first time he came up here, it didn't work out as well as he'd planned. There had been an argument, and Ted, Remus' Father, had got the wrong impression. Remus had left the house, after insulting him, Ted and the family portraits. He had come back 2 hours latter completely drenched. Harry knew Remus wasn't best please with him, and his nightmares probably made things worse. Heck, he knew he couldn't work without sleep, so Remus was probably the same. Harry felt extremely guilty.
"Did I wake you again?" Remus jumped and shook his head. "I know I did, I'm sorry." Harry quickly rolled back some of the duvet. "Come sleep here Remus, It's much more comfy than the floor." Remus raised an eyebrow. "It's okay, we'll go top and tails, it's a big bed!" Remus grinned, showing his canines.
"I know it's a big bed, I've had it since I was seven." Harry pouted, then laughed.
"Well are you coming to sleep or not?" The boy still looked doubtful. "I wont give you back your pillow if not." Remus growled and Harry giggled chucking his pillow at the older boy. "Pillow fight!" Remus laughed and grabbed the pillow out of the air. Harry squealed and rolled out of the bed.

(Remus' PoV)
Remus grabbed the pillow and shook his head, before following Harry over the bed. A pillow fight? Weren't they to old to be playing pillow fights at their age. A pillow connected with the side of his head. Harry had obviously decided that they weren't. Remus swung the pillow back, smacking it into the boy's chest, and giggled. Hell, it was fun. Harry ran at Remus with the pillow swinging wildly, Remus giggled again and rolled backwards over the bed, sliding under it. (The bed that is, not Harry or the Pillow.) He went a still as he could manage. Harry had obviously turned round to find an 'empty' bedroom.
"Remus?" He heard footsteps walking around the bed. "I know you're here somewhere Remus, and I can wait all night if I have to…." He sighed dramatically and stood just in front of Remus' hiding place. Remus felt a grin on his face as he reached out and pulled on the mat, sending Harry flying. Remus slid out from under his bed and saw Harry fallen a little while a way. Harry groaned and Remus grew a bit concern. What if Harry had got a serious injury, how was he going to be able to explain it? He could picture it now 'Sorry sir, we were having a pillow fight and it kinda got out of hand.". Yeah that was going to go down really well.
Remus bent down over Harry.
"Dude, are you okay?" Remus hand went to Harry's shoulder and turned him over. He wasn't moving- great. "Harry, come on stop playing around." He lowered his face to the other boy's, putting his hand on the other boys neck, to check his pulse. Harry's eyes flew open and a smile appeared upon his face. He flipped Remus onto his back pinning him successfully against the carpet.
"That was an evil trick, Remus Xander Lupin! What do you have to say for yourself!" Harry grinned at him.
"Umm, you get the headrest end?" Harry giggled and pulled the other boy to his feet,
"I'll go find the pillows, you out the duvet back on." Harry turned round, as if to go and get the fallen pillows.
"But I get the harder job." Remus whined.
"And?" Said Harry, giving the other boy a grin before picking up a pillow at his feet.
