A/N: First of all, I would like to apologize for the long wait, but my exams are in two weeks and I have to study... a lot. So I didn't have much time to write. But today, after studying Math - I hate that subject - my great two Muse kicked in and that chapter is the result. I had a lot of it written already, but added a lot to it. I hope you'll like it and don't think the characters are OOC. This chapter is the last, after that the epilogue is following, but the story is pretty much finished. The epilogue will only feature all characters both in Hogwarts and in New York, and if my Muse are really great and I'm able to actually write it, I may even add a SBRL lemon, but no promises there. Anyway, I'll stop with the rambling now, enjoy!

Chapter 7

Remus was sure melting felt somewhat like that. His knees got weak and he was afraid of falling, but Sirius held. Feeling Sirius' soft lips against his was breathtaking and he wouldn't have minded staying like that forever, when it suddenly dawned on him. He was in Ryo's body and Sirius was in Dee's body. Remus' eyes snapped open and he gently pushed Sirius away.

"Padfoot, wait, it's not that I don't like kissing you, but..."

"Well alright, then don't stop." Sirius interrupted and started locking lips again.

"Pads, no! We are in other people's bodies, in case you forgot! We can't do that." Remus exclaimed, pushing Sirius away once more.

"Ryo and Dee are dating, they've done this before. They won't mind." Sirius said, trying to kiss Remus again, who quickly dodged the incoming lips.

"But I do! Look Padfoot, stop!" the werewolf said rather loudly, effectively stopping the dog Animagus from attacking him.

"I really like you Sirius. Actually I'm pretty sure that I may even love you. I have for some time now, so I really wanna kiss your lips, not Dee's." Remus explained to Sirius, who stared at him with a smile on his face. "I've liked you for the longest time too. Not sure if it's love yet, but definitely close." Sirius replied, smiling brightly at his friend, who returned the smile.

"Argh, okay, I guess you're right. You always are. Sorry, I got carried away, but once I start it's rather hard to stop." Sirius replied, grinning slyly. "You're rather irresistible, if I do say so myself." he added, letting all his charm loose on Remus, who was nearly overwhelmed. He nearly caved, but managed to keep his hands to himself. Even though, when he would be asked later on, he couldn't tell you how he did it. Sirius' charm was very enticing.

Damn that bloody mind-switching spell and double damn his inhumanly beautiful best friend.

"Well, thanks for the compliment, though I'm not sure it's accurate." Remus replied, taking deep breath to make sure he stayed put.

"Oh, I beg to differ, my lovely Moony. My compliment is very accurate. But anyway, let's call it a day, it's getting late. Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch and tomorrow, when we're back in our bodies, we'll chase James out of our dorm and finally have some fun. How does that sound?" Sirius asked grinning, after seeing Remus blush at the thought of him and Sirius having fun. However Remus nodded nonetheless and agreed to the plan, because really now, just because he was blushing did not mean he didn't wanna do it.

"Alright, but you don't have to sleep on the couch, the bed is big enough for both of us. To be honest, I've never seen such a huge bed before. Just keep your hands to yourself."

Sirius agreed and they both went to the bedroom, falling asleep rather quickly.

When Sirius and Remus woke up on Sunday morning, they were confused when they realized, that they were in a different room. Judging from the building, they were back at Hogwarts. They were about to get out of bed to find out where exactly they were, when a house elf walked inside leaving no more questions to their whereabouts open.

"The misters are to follow me to Prof. Dumbledore's office, please." the elf squeaked and walked outside, waiting for the two Gryffindor to put on clothes they found lying on a chair close by.

"I wonder how we got here. I don't remember anything. Do you?" Remus asked Sirius, who shook his head. "No idea what happened, but let's go see what's going on. The spell didn't end yet." Sirius replied and followed the house elf out of the room, Remus close behind.

They reached the office and entered, after hearing someone yell to come inside. Sirius hadn't yet put one foot inside the office, when James yelled out in pleasure. "Padfoot! Man, am I glad to see you, mate." he exclaimed before seeing Remus enter behind the Black heir. "Moony! It's great to see you too. But goodness me, you and Ryo really do look a lot alike." James pointed out, for James saw what Dee and Ryo look like for the first time.

Remus and Sirius' gaze wandered to Dumbledore and to the two men standing next to his desk. They were pretty much looking at themselves, only that Dee's eyes were a strong green colour and Ryo's were very dark, but other than that, they looked like their twins.

Ryo was the first to say something. "It's nice to finally meet you guys." he said and held out his hand, which Remus shock with pleasure. "Likewise."

"Well, gentlemen, I brought you all here to make sure that if something should go wrong when the spell ends, you will be in capable hands." Dumbledore explained and Prof. Flitwick and Madame Pomfrey entered.

"Could that happen?" Dee and Sirius said at the same time, causing them to look at each other and laugh. They really were a lot alike. They even thought the same things.

Ryo mumbled something only Remus heard, who chuckled upon hearing it.

"It's a safety measure, Mr. Black and Laytner." Dumbledore said, not really reassuring neither Dee nor Sirius. They both looked rather worried. "Well then," Dumbledore continued, after looking at the clock, "we've got fifteen minutes. Perhaps there are some things you want to do before you change back." Dumbledore added.

Dee looked in thoughts. "Well, if there are difficulties to come, I better do that while I still can." he said and kissed Ryo, who looked rather embarrassed and struggled to get away from his partner.

"Dee, not in their bodies!" he scolded once he managed to push Dee away and threw a guilty look at the two Gryffindor. Sirius however, inspired by Dee, merely returned, "Oh, we don't mind, if you won't." and kissed Remus to everyone's surprise. Remus blushed too, before desire took over and he kissed Sirius back hungrily.

Dee grinned and went back to kissing his boyfriend, whom he caught by surprise, causing him unable to struggle out of the kiss.

Prof. Flitwick, James and Madame Pomfrey looked away, with Madame Pomfrey sporting a blush. Dumbledore was watching the clock, smiling to himself.

"Okay guys, stop with the snogging!" James exclaimed after a couple of minutes. To him it felt like hours. "Sorry mate, but there isn't much I can do." Sirius replied, grinning at Remus, who smiled back.

"I know what you mean." Dee said, causing both of them to grin at each other. "But Remus seems to be more eager to return your affections that Ryo." he added looking gloomily at his boyfriend, who sighted before kissing Dee, resulting in the detective look ecstatic.

"Is that good enough?" he asked afterwards, already sporting pink cheeks. "You bet it is." Dee replied, kissing him again, with Sirius following suit. But James had enough. "Okay, now really, STOP!" he exclaimed. "It's not that I'm not happy for you and Remus, Sirius, I really am, but if you don't stop kissing, I swear, I'm gonna kill you, best mate and everything."

Sirius decided to play safe and turned away from Remus with Dee doing the same. "Okay, I'm stopping, no need to kill me, Prongs." Sirius replied grinning. He didn't seem to be able to stop doing that.

Dee was still hoping for Ryo to become as eager to kiss him as Remus was. He asked Sirius what he did differently, which caused Sirius to laugh. "Me? I don't think I did anything, but Moony here is a werewolf after all. He's got a wild animal inside of him." Sirius replied. It wasn't until he saw James and Remus' shocked looks that he realized what he had just said.

"Errr.. I mean, err... oh bugger!" Sirius muttered, looking apologetically at Remus.

"I knew already." Ryo replied, trying to make Remus look less downbeat. Everybody looked surprised. "Lily told me." Ryo replied after seeing the looks, but that statement made James and Sirius look even more surprised.

"Lily? As in Lily Evans?" James asked stunned. "She knows?" Sirius asked Remus, who nodded his head. "I told her at the end of our fifth year. She had figured it out."

"Wait, so you're really a werewolf?" Dee wanted to know, looking shocked. Remus nodded his head again, looking dejected.

"So technically, I just kissed a werewolf?" Dee asked next, to which Remus nodded again, waiting for Dee to start freaking out and demand some kind of rinsing. But Dee surprised everybody.

"Cool! I just kissed a werewolf. That's so cool!" Dee exclaimed. Remus looked at him incredulously. "You don't mind?" he asked. "No, why should I? It's really fascinating." Dee replied. Both James and Sirius started laughing. "See Remus, he is Padfoot's clone! I believe Sirius said about the same thing."

"And I don't mind either, Remus." Ryo said, reassuring the werewolf, who smiled, feeling very happy indeed, to have such great friends.

Dumbledore coughed to gain their attention. "It's time." he simply said and everybody suddenly looked nervous. Nobody said a word and the only sound being heard was the ticking of the clock. At precisely 9:30 am and 20 seconds, everybody was blinded by an enormous flash.

Seconds later, Remus opened his eyes to realize he was himself again. "Thank god for that." Remus mumbled, touching his face. Never had he been so happy so feel his scares before. He turned towards Sirius, who was running his hands through his long hair.

"My beautiful hair!" he said with affection, while staring into a mirror. "And thank god, I'm young and sexy again."

"Hey, I have you know, that I'm sexier than you'll ever be." Dee yelled, glaring at Sirius. "Yeah sure, old man." Sirius replied, grinning arrogantly. The two black-haired men continued arguing back and forth about which one was better looking and more ravishing much to Ryo and Remus' distaste.

"How do you manage to live and work with him?" Remus asked Ryo, who shrugged his shoulders. "I have no idea. And you?" "Pretty much the same. I have not the foggiest idea."

Ryo looked at Remus smiling slightly. "It must be love." Remus smiled back, "That it must be."
