Well, I continue then…this is chapter two
Sirius turned around and almost fell to the floor. What the -? Right…Sirius remembered the night before and that he had slept on the couch. He rubbed his eyes and checked his wristwatch, 10:17. The flat was quiet; Remus must be asleep for he couldn't have left, right? Sirius turned his head to the front door, Remus' jacket and shoes where still there. Sirius yawned and sat up, he looked out of the window and thanked God he had found Remus yesterday night and managed to get the boy inside. The snow poured down and the stormy winds made it even worse, you couldn't see across the street. There is no way Remus would have made it.
Sirius stood up and walked to the kitchen to make coffee. Better let Remus rest for a while, he must be tired. The kitchen was quite messy, dish in the sink and empty bottles at the counter. Sirius lazily threw some old papers and milk package in the bin before he sat down at the table. He only needed to wait a few minutes till an owl came to deliver the daily prophet. He paid the brown owl and read the headline, "New victims to 'You-know-who' and the ministry's reaction". Great, another hysterical week…Sirius was just glad he didn't had to work today. The auror office was no pleasant place the day after a series of crimes.
Around 11 Sirius decided to cheek on Remus. He walked to his bedroom and stopped in front of the door to listen for any sounds. When he didn't hear anything from inside, he opened the door quietly.
On the bed lay a pile of blankets and in the dim light Sirius couldn't see Remus. He walked up to the bed and found Remus' head buried in a pillow with the brown hair sticking out. Sirius smiled to himself and sat carefully down on the edge of the bed. Sirius placed a hand on top of the pile and nudge him gently.
"Remus…" it took a few moments before Remus moved and finally meet Sirius eyes. He looked tired and pale.
"Uh…"Remus made some kind of quiet sound when his eyes focused on Sirius.
"Morning" said Sirius and smiled at him. Remus mumbled something similar and turned his gaze away.
"I should…probably go now…"said Remus and made an effort to rise up. Sirius placed his hand over Remus chest and pushed him down again.
"Go where?" asked Sirius with raised eyebrows.
"Eh…you know…" Remus gaze was roving and he fingered the blanket nervously.
"Out? You would freeze to death" said Sirius and tried to meet Remus eyes. Remus looked pale and his hair was damp with sweat. Sirius eyes got filled with concern. "As I said…you can stay for as long as you want. How are you feeling? You look a bit sick."
"I'm fine" mumbled Remus. Sirius wasn't convinced and lay his hand on Remus' forehead. Remus flinched and looked up in Sirius' eyes.
"You've got fever, but that's no surprise" said Sirius and drew his hand back. "Do you want to take a shower and change clothes? I make you some food, okay."
"Eh…I don't have any more cloths" said Remus quietly. Sirius walked up to the drawer and took out a pair of pants that were too small for him and a dark blue, knitted jumper.
"This will fit" said Sirius and placed the clothes at the end of the bed. "The bathroom is over there" He pointed at a door to the right. "Yeah…and if you need anything just call for me" Sirius gave Remus a smile and walked out.

Half an hour later, Sirius could hear the bedroom door open and Remus stepped out. He looked around in the room and played with the end of the jumper.
"Remus? I'm in here" called Sirius from the kitchen. Remus walked in slowly and stood in the doorway. His hair was wet and ruffled and the clothes were a bit big for him. He's adorable.
"Sit down, I've cooked. Or well, I've tried" said Sirius and put a plate at the table. Remus sat down and looked at the plate. "Eat" ordered Sirius and sat down opposite from Remus. He watched Remus eat and drank from his second cup of coffee. Sirius still didn't know much about Remus. How come he doesn't go to school? Is he even a wizard?
"Eh…you're not a muggle are you?" said Sirius after a while of wondering.
"No…I was in Diagon Alley, that's where you found me. Muggles can't get in there" said Remus while he ate.
"Right, I just…where's your wand?"
"I don't have one" said Remus quietly.
"And I don't recognize you, you didn't go to Hogwarts?" Sirius felt that he bomb Remus with questions but he really wanted answers now.
"No…I didn't attended Hogwarts…erm…it's-" Remus mumbled something and refused to meet Sirius eyes.
"It's okay. You don't need to tell me if you're not comfortable" said Sirius kindly. "Are you done?" he rose and took the dish to the sink, I clean this later. He then turned around to look at Remus who still looked very pale and sick.
"Maybe you should sleep some more" He said and walked up to Remus. "Come" He lead the way back to the bedroom. "I'll check on you in some hours. Do you need anything" Remus shook his head. "Okay, just call me if you do" He smiled at Remus and left the room.

A few hours later Remus hadn't called for him once but he hadn't really expected him to do so either. Sirius had checked on him, sometimes because he was worried about him, other times because he was bored but most of the times for seeing Remus sleep and be so relaxed. Some may call it creepy but Sirius had never seen a cuter boy in his life and he had seen a lot of boys. Sadly enough, Remus had become even sicker and was now breathing heavier and coughing in his sleep.
But Sirius hadn't just starred at Remus all day. He had been over at James and Lily's too.
"Hey! Anybody home!" called Sirius as he stumbled out of the fireplace and swept of the dust from his cloths.
"Sirius please!" came an annoyed voice from behind. "I just cleaned the floor" said Lily tired.
"Sorry, Flower. Is James here?" asked Sirius with a charming smile.
Lily sighed "No, he's working. He had lot to do with the new attacks" She still looked annoyed and seemed to wish that Sirius would leave soon.
"Oh…Well then I can talk to you!" said Sirius happily and through himself at the couch. Lily rolled his eyes and sat down next to him while muttering something that sounded like 'stupid dog'.
"Hm…I actually need your help with something" said Sirius, now more serious. Lily looked up at him, surprised by Sirius strange behavior.
"I wonder if you have some cure for fever…" said Sirius and looked down.
"Are you sick?" said Lily and reached for Sirius' forehead.
"No. Not me, it's…well…" Sirius told Lily the whole story about finding Remus on the street, how he took care of him, about Remus' past and that he had become sick now from being out in the cold.
"That's horrible! How can anyone do that to the poor boy? And why was you the first one to help him? How can people just pass him and not caring?" exclaimed Lily who had become more and more upset during Sirius story.
"Yes, that's what I thought…He's sleeping now but I'm really worried about him. So, do you have anything that might help?" asked Sirius with a pleading look.
"Sure, stay here" Lily walked over to the bathroom. She was a healer and kept a lot of medicine and potions at home, she also knew what to do. "Here take this" She handed Sirius a small bottle with dark liquid inside. "He's supposed to drink just a teaspoon of it. It's tasteless so mix it in tea or something"
"Thank you so much Lils. I better get back now" said Sirius and walked to the fireplace. "I'll see James at work tomorrow" Lily smiled at him.
"Yes, good luck with Remus. Call me if it doesn't work"

"Remus? You're awake?" Sirius walked into the room with a cup of tea. He had followed Lilys' advice and put some drops of the healing potion in it. Remus moved and grunted in the bed. "I made you tea" said Sirius and handed Remus the cup when he had sat himself up. "It will help the fever. I put some healing potion in it" Remus looked suspiciously at the cup "Hey, if I wanted to drug you I could have done it before" said Sirius and smiled. He watched satisfied as Remus sipped from the cup.
"Thanks" said Remus "It feels better" He almost could keep his eyes open and was about to drop the cup if Sirius hadn't take it from his hands. "Sorry…I'm just so tired…"
Sirius smiled at him "It's okay, I leave you" Remus fell asleep before Sirius had left the room.
