A/N: Back again. Let's see how our puppies spend their Christmas eve, shall we?
Chapter 7
The Christmas feast was sumptuous and everybody in high spirits. Altogether there were only around twenty students, so all - including the teachers - were gathered at one table. The older students were allowed to drink butterbeer and - although it does have a rather low alcohol percentage - most of them got slightly tipsy. The teachers had wine or mead and were exceptionally frolic. Professor McGonagall even laughed at Sirius' jokes. Hagrid and Professor Slughorn were engaged in rhymes and songs that got more and more silly as they had more and more to drink.
Snape, who sat at the opposite side of the table, kept sending sour glances and sneers in the two Marauders' direction.
"What's eating you, Snivellus?" asked Sirius. "Somebody piss in your shampoo? No wait, that can't be it - you don't have any!"
"Sirius," whispered Remus, "please leave him alone - just for tonight. He's probably here because he doesn't have a loving home to return to."
"So what," pouted Sirius, "- neither do we!"
"Well, we've got each other. He has no one."
"Alright," Sirius sighed. "You're too soft, Moony. But if that's what you want, I'll do it for you..."
However, Remus had to remind Sirius of his promise several times during the evening to stop him from jinxing or insulting Snape any further.
In between dinner and dessert, Sirius suddenly felt a hand slide up his thigh. "Let's go snog in the corridor," whispered Remus in his ear.
Sirius looked at him in surprise.
"Don't worry, we'll be back in time for dessert."
They quickly checked that nobody was paying attention to them, and sneaked off. They had barely gotten out of the great hall before Remus pushed Sirius up against the wall and hungrily attacked his mouth.
"Hey, Moony - are we getting a little randy from the butterbeer?" teased Sirius between kisses.
They were so busy snogging and feeling each other up, that they forgot about the feast until they heard music coming from the Great Hall.
"Oh," said Remus and pulled his head away from Sirius' face. "I think we might have missed dessert."
"It doesn't matter. You taste much sweeter, anyway," purred Sirius.
Remus smiled shyly. "I think we'd better get back in there before they start suspecting something."
As they slipped back inside, only Dumbledore seemed to notice, and he gave them a wink.
"Do you think he has guessed?" whispered Remus.
"Probably. Dumbles notices everything. But I doubt he's going to tell anyone, so take it easy, Rem."
Several of the students and teachers had begun dancing to the music. Professor Sprout was swinging Flitwick around so that his feet barely touched the floor, and Dumbledore waltzed away with Professor Penkova. Two 5th year Hufflepuffs came over and dragged a Marauder each onto the dance floor. Remus' girl turned out to be rather aggressive and he had a hard time keeping her at arm's length. As she tried to kiss him, she suddenly jumped back with a squeal and clapped her hand to her mouth. Her front teeth had grown huge. Sirius' dance-partner came to her rescue, and Remus slinked back to Sirius.
"Thanks for helping me out. Although that was a little mean."
"What do you mean? I didn't do anything!" said Sirius innocently.
"That Densaugeo hex just cast itself, right?"
"It wasn't me! I didn't say anything. And look - no wand!"
"You are very adept at nonverbal spells. And what's that under your robes?" Remus said, and reached for Sirius' ropes."
"Remus!" Sirius exclaimed in mock shock. "Not here!"
Remus couldn't help but laugh. "Maybe we should just retire to our quarters before you get us into trouble."

The boys were all over each other before they reached the Gryffindor Tower. None of them felt like parting lips in order to utter the password, so they leaned up against the Fat Lady, passionately clinging to each other.
"Well, I have NEVER...what ARE you doing to the nice Mr. Lupin - you HORRIBLE boy?...NO - DON'T UNDRESS HIM!"
"Oh, shut it, you old prude!" said Sirius.
The portrait swung open and the boys tumbled in through the hole.
"Wow," said Remus. "I think that's the first time she's ever opened without getting the password! Unless of course it was 'shut it, you old prude.'"
They hurried up to the dorm. Shoes and shirts came off and they lay down on Sirius' bed. They looked at each other's naked chests in fascination and began exploring with their hands. Sirius shuttered when Remus let his fingers circle and massage his nipple.
"Sorry," said Remus, "was that uncomfortable?"
"Merlins, no! Please don't stop!"
Remus gently pushed Sirius onto his back. He leaned over him and started kissing his neck, slowly making his way down to his chest. Sirius groaned and tangled his fingers in the soft caramel hair. Remus rested his body on Sirius as he continued to explore his chest with lips and tongue. Sirius moved his hands down to caress Remus' neck and back. He could feel his erection pushing against the other boy's stomach and had to gasp for air.
The closeness along with the kisses, licking and feel of Remus' breath on his moist skin was too much for Sirius. "Remus...I...don't move!" he panted and spasmed.
Remus looked at him in surprise.
"I'm sorry, Moony, I couldn't help it. How embarrassing. Like a schoolboy coming in his pants!"
"Well, you are a schoolboy, and you did just come in your pants," smiled Remus. "But don't be embarrassed. I'm flattered to have this kind of effect on you, really. And besides," he blushed, "it kind of turned me on."
"Really?" grinned Sirius. He rolled Remus off him and cast a quick spell to clean himself up.
"Moony, try to lie down and let me treat you a bit." Sirius guided Remus onto his back and lay down on his side next to him. "Just relax and enjoy," he whispered in Remus' ear. He started caressing his neck and chest with feather light touches. Remus closed his eyes and sighed contentedly. Sirius lavished his neck with soft kisses and as he felt Remus' breathing pick up speed he let his hand go further south. He touched the flat stomach and traced the waistband with his finger, which made Remus moan softly. Then Sirius unzipped the pants and slipped his hand in.
Remus sat up with a jerk. "What are you doing?"
"What do you think? Don't worry Moony. Trust me and let me give it a go. If you don't like it, I promise I'll stop".
Remus hesitantly lay back down.
Sirius could feel Remus' body tensing up as he started rubbing him. He gently kissed his neck to soothe him and Remus became more relaxed. As Sirius continued his gentle strokes and kisses, Remus' breathing got faster and mixed with soft whimpers and moans. He slipped his hand under Sirius' head and dug into his hair at the nape of the neck.
"Do you want me to stop?" teased Sirius.
"No! Don't stop!"
Sirius stared at Remus' face in fascination. The closed eyes and expression of pleasure only made it even more beautiful, Sirius thought. He kept watching as he pushed him closer and closer to the edge. As he came, Remus hid his face in a pillow, muffling his moan.
Sirius removed the pillow and looked at a blushing Remus. "How was that?"
"It was ok."
"Just ok?"
"No. It was brilliant!" Remus blushed even more and looked away.
Sirius beamed. "Don't be so shy, Moony. You were wonderful. I LOVED watching you get off!"
Remus smiled, still blushing. "Wow. That was really something. I'm completely dizzy...and... warm inside." He leaned over to kiss Sirius. After a short while, he broke the kiss. "Sirius?"
"Yes?"
"Let me do you. Or are you...can you...?"
Sirius laughed: "Don't worry! I can go again!"
Remus slid his hand into Sirius' trousers and went to work. Sirius didn't attempt to hold back this time and he didn't try to hide his pleasure like Remus had done. "Oh, Moony" he moaned, "oh, that's so good...dear Merlin!"
Remus stared mesmerized at him, clearly impressed with his uninhibited response.
Sirius' bucked his hips as he orgasmed in a loud cry.
Remus lay down and snuggled up to him.
"Bloody hell, Moony! That was amazing!"
The boys were exhausted and stripped to their briefs. They crept under the covers and wrapped themselves around each other, falling asleep almost instantly.
