A/N- Yay! chapter four:) Strange that I've written most of this fic after midnight. What can I say? I love the nightlife.

Summery- Sirius tries to apologize but Remus doesn't want to hear it. There are essays to be written!

Rating- T for the pure yum of slash!

Disclaimer- Euria and Angerona. Thems be all that's mine.

I can't eat. I've been sitting in the great hall for almost an hour watching students shuffle in for breakfast. I occupy my mind by naming everyone walking in. It's surprising how many of them I actually know.

There's Elizabeth prattling on to Angerona about the essay due for Divinations tomorrow.

Euria, Lily and their timid 4th year friend Anna brush by taking a seat at the end of the table.

A group of greasy Slytherins sneer in my direction as they glided to their table at the end of the Great Hall.

I paid them no mind, being that Remus just entered the hall, walking slowly towards the table, his eyes glued to the marble ground. I smiled secretly as he sat beside me.

"Good morning Sirius." He peeked through his light brown hair that fell over his sallow cheeks. He looked paler than normal, probably due to the full moon tonight.

"Morning." I stared down at the runny eggs in front of me and poked them absentmindedly. I wasn't sure if I should bring up the events of last night. Or lack of thanks to James.

Remus picked at a brown piece of toast and sighed deeply. It was clear he wasn't willing to begin a conversation any time soon.

"Remus…about…what happened last night, I… that is…it wasn't…uh…" I ran a hand through my hair nervously, noticing the small smile tugging at his lips. I took in a deep breath, gaining confident that maybe he didn't hate me, and continued. "Last night I—"

"Morning Padfoot. Moony." James strut towards the table with Peter close behind. Dammit Prongs!

"Hey." I grumbled and stabbed at the eggs on my plate aggressively. What was it with James and having such bad timing lately?

"Good morning James. Good morning Peter." Remus smiled brightly as the last of our group joined us.

"So what's on the agenda for today mate?" James dropped himself across from me and began shoveling food onto his plate.

"Well I'd like to get the rest of my homework done before tonight. I haven't finished my Astronomy essay yet, and I'm guessing none of you did it either?" Remus popped a piece of toast in his mouth, seeming to regret it instantly by the look on his face.

"I finished mine yesterday!" James said indignantly with a mouth full of potatoes.

"I didn't pass my Astronomy exams last year." Peter whined as he poked at his breakfast.

"That's riiight!" James teased pointing his fork at Peter. "Didn't you get a Dreadful on that?"

"James leave him be." Remus shook his head smiling.

"I haven't even started mine." I muttered and stuffed a piece of bacon into my mouth.

Remus stood abruptly. "Come on than, we need to get this done before 8." He took hold of my hand sending shivers up my arm and pulled me up. "We'll see two later." He called to James and Peter as he dragged me towards the doors. The last thing I saw was James giving Lily the eye before we were alone in the entrance hall.

"I've just got to grab my books from the dormitory, than we'll head to the library alright?" he smiled brightly.

"You seem rather chipper this morning." I noted with a smirk. He simply shrugged, though his ears turned a shade of red. We reached the portrait of the Fat Lady and he chirped the password, 'worm wood'.

She swung over allowing us to climb inside. We ambled through the common room and clambered up the stairs to the silent dorm. He turned swiftly, without warning causing me to stumble into him.

He blushed and took a step back quickly, looking down. "Sorry."

"Don't be." I smiled reassuringly. He turned swiftly and began gathering his books.

I cleared my throat. May as well get this over with now before James interrupts. "About last night," I paused seeing him stiffen up for a moment before continuing. "I don't know what really happened. It was late and we were tired, and things just—"

I hadn't noticed him cross the room, but before I knew it his lips were on mine. I stood frozen, taking a moment to process. I guess I took too long, for he pulled away staring up at me unsure of my reaction.

I tried to assure myself that this wasn't a dream, but it was more difficult than I'd hoped. I didn't notice that I hadn't moved an inch until Remus spun around hanging his head. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was stupid of me. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm such a bloody prat!" he scolded himself in a single breath.

I grabbed his arm turning him back to face me. I pressed my lips onto his. If this was a dream, why not ride it out?

I held him against me tightly, fearing I'd wake up any minute to find myself in my bed, alone and sweating.

But I didn't wake up. Not when I felt his grip on my shoulders. Not as my tongue parted his lips to invade his mouth. Not even as we toppled onto one of the beds.

The room around us faded until there was just us, together, in the middle of the most amazing snog in the history of snogging. Oy. That was lame. But I'm kind of preoccupied at the moment!

Remus was the first to break for air. "We…have to finish… those essays." He managed to say between gasps.

"Oh, bugger those." I groan and go to continue the kiss. He pulls away and rolls off the bed.

"I can't afford to get a failing grade in astronomy! You know my deal with Dumbledore was that I had to maintain good grades if I want to continue school here." He attempted to straighten his mussed hair.

"Dumbledore isn't going to expel you for one failed essay. Besides it's the full moon tonight, it's not like you don't have a reason to miss one or two assignments. I doubt he'd even expel you if you were failing! He's not that type!" I could hear the whine in my voice, but I couldn't help it. It was cruel to expect me to be able to simply go on properly with my day after that kiss. He didn't seem to agree, as he just glared at me sternly, though he was having obvious trouble keeping the grin off his face.

I sighed and pulled myself up. "Fine." I gave another melodramatic sigh and glided towards my school bag. I could feel his eyes rolling as I slung my bag over my shoulder. When I turned, he had closed the distance between us. He slipped his arm around my neck and planted a small kiss on my lips. He had to stand on his toes to reach my height. When he drew back, his cheeks were flushed and he gazed downward.

"I… I keep feeling like I'm about to wake up, and find out all of this was just a dream." He mumbled hesitantly. I smiled and embraced him tightly.

"Think of it this way: If this is a dream, we'll get to do it all over again when we wake up." I nestle my cheek into his hair taking in his scent. All we can do is stand there holding each other, wishing this moment would never end.

"Sirius?"

"Mm?"

"We need to write our essays."

I smiled despite myself and let my hands trail down his thin arms. "Do we have to?" I pouted my lips as he pulled away chuckling.

"Tell you what. If I see that you're working hard enough we'll take a break." He grinned as he slung his bag over his shoulder.

"To do what?" I flashed a mischievous grin.

He simply just smirked and turned towards the door. "Use your imagination."
