Chapter 8: A Much Needed Conversation
I woke up the sun shining it my face. It was going to be a beautiful day. It had been a few days since the full moon and I was ready to get back to normality. Stretching out, my body cracked and I gasped in pain as I moved. I had forgotten about my wound. Lifting my shirt to examine it, it wasn't wrapped in a large bandage like I thought. It was simply covered by a dressing, no bigger than a goal ball. It would be gone in a day or two, thanks to my wolf healing, but it still bloody hurt.
Staying in my bed, I looked around the room and couldn't see Sirius. I had felt him leave some hours ago, but had been too exhausted to stop him. All I could do was wait for him to come back.
I didn't have to wait long. Sirius returned with James and Pete. All of them smiled as they saw that I was awake. I shifted in my bed and allowed room for Sirius. I wrapped my arms around my waist, and made myself comfortable.
James and Pete looked at us confused. Sirius clearly hadn't updated them on everything that had happen.
"I will explain later," said Sirius. "It is a long story."
"Okay," they both said.
"We are so sorry that we didn't show up at the Shrieking Shack," said Pete.
James nodded. "I actually forget. It wasn't till Sirius brought it up that I remembered."
"I don't blame you," I said, "If you were there, I think we all would have ended up in here."
"What happened though? Who attacked you?" asked Pete.
I shrugged. "It was a werewolf pack. I've never seen them before. I'm assuming that Professor Dumbledore will sort everything out." I snuggled into Sirius's lap.
"Well, we will leave you two alone," said James. "You rest up, and we will come see you later."
"Thanks for stopping by," I said.
Sirius stayed with me. He didn't have class for at least an hour and said he would stay and have breakfast with me. A house elf appeared with a tray food, enough for the both of us, we happily ate facing one another, until every bit was gone.
Sirius placed the tray on the ground and moved to lay down beside me. I wrapped my arms around him, and Moony hummed with happiness as Sirius nuzzled his face into my chest.
We stayed like that for some time. I ran my fingers through his hair, and he gently hummed. He looked so peaceful as he lay in my arms, our legs entangled together. He turned his face to look up at me. He asked, "What happened between you and Snape?"
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing." He looked away.
I pulled his chin up with my finger. "What did he say?" I asked.
He sighed. "He told me that he found it amusing that I was getting his sloppy leftovers."
I wanted to hit Snape. Knocking the stupid asses smirk off his face would make me extremely happy. "He is an absolute asshole."
"Did something happen between you two?" Sirius's grip tightened around me. Almost like he was afraid to let go.
"Nothing that I wanted to happen."
"He forced himself on you?" Sirius head shot up.
"Sort of. He kissed me, twice. And he tried to go down on me."
Sirius face turned red.
"I shoved him off me though."
"I'm going to kill him." Sirius sat up and began to climb off the bed.
I grabbed his arm, and pulled him back down. "Please don't." I trapped him beneath me, holding him down. "I agree that he is a complete asshole, and he needs to be taken down a notch. But if you killed him then I would be spending a lot of nights alone with you being locked up in Askaban."
"I guess I can't let that happen."
"No, you can't." I pulled his face up to mine and kissed him softly.
Our slow kisses were interrupted by the nurse, who chased Sirius away, sending him to class. I waved and laughed as he ran out of the infirmary. I laid down in my bed and turned to face the window. The sun was shining and I could hear birds outside. It didn't take me long to drift off to sleep.
I was woken later that day by the nurse, as it was time for a few more potions. Sitting in my bed I swallowed the terrible tasking liquids, and then she gave me a lolly to get rid of the taste. As I sucked on my lolly, I looked at the time. Final classes of the day would be over soon, and Sirius would hopefully join him for dinner.
The door to the infirmary creaked open. I looked up expecting Sirius or James, or Pete, but it was Severus. I frowned at him.
He walked towards me, and said, "How are you feeling?"
"Much better, thank you." I turned away from him.
"I came to check on you this morning, but I saw you with the mutt. I didn't want to interrupt you."
"We were having some much-needed conversation." I fiddled with the blanket over me for a moment. "He mentioned the conversation that you two had."
Severus frowned. "I didn't say anything that wasn't true."
"It was completely untrue. I was never with you Severus. If anything, you forced yourself on me. I didn't ever want you to kiss me, or get me off, in any sort of way; and I never will."
"But-"
"No, buts. The only thing that was possible was friendship, but you have fucked that up."
"But-"
"Now, if you would please leave me alone. I want to go back to sleep."
Severus stood frozen for a minute. He was clearly shocked by what I had said. He slowly turned and left. I glared at his back. The nerve of some people.
Lying back down, I looked out the window and waited for Sirius to come back. I fell asleep again, and woke up happy to feel warm arms wrapped around my body. I wiggled and turned over so that I was facing him.
His warm lips touched my forehead, and I smiled at the contact. I snuggled further into his arms, and said, "Hi."
"Hi." He gently kissed my head again.
"Have you been here long?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Not really."
"Were you watching me sleep?"
He moved his lips to my cheek. "Yep. And listening to you talk?"
"What?" I looked up worried.
"Didn't you know that you talk in your sleep?" he asked.
I shook my head. "No."
"Well, you do." He laughed. "And hearing you moan my name was a very pleasant surprised."
"Oh god." I blushed and buried my face into his chest.
He laughed again. "Were you having a good dream?" He pulled my chin up, so I looked him in the eye.
"A very good dream." I smiled. We had been lying in some grassy field, making out, and with every touch his set my whole body on fire. It had felt amazing.
He whispered, "Why don't you show me just how good it was?"
I lifted myself up, and rolled him onto his back. I kissed his lips softly. "That sounds like a very…" I kissed his cheek. "Very…" I slid my hands down his chest, and under his shirt. "Good plan."
He slid his hand behind my head and pulled my lips to his. I moaned against his mouth, and he rubbed his tongue against my lips, begging for entrance. I opened my mouth and wrapped my tongue around his. I used my hands to slowly unbutton his shirt, and reveal his smooth stomach. I ran my fingers along his curves, and played and pinch his nipples. He gasped in my mouth.
"Mr Lupin…Oh my god!"
I pulled away from Sirius to see the nurse standing there were her hands covering her eyes. Her face completely red, and it was clear she hadn't expected us to be like this.
I slipped off Sirius and pulled his shirt closed with one hand.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you too." She looked down at the chart in her hand.
I bit my lip, and felt sorry for her. "No, I'm sorry."
Without looking at either of us, she said, "If I could just give you one last check over, then you can go back to your common room tonight."
"Really?" I smiled. I could spend the night in my own bed.
"Um…yes."
Sirius climbed from my bed fixed his shirt and tried to hide his hard member from view, but his tight school pants made it almost impossible. The nurse gave me a once over and released me. I pulled on some spare clothes that Sirius had brought down, and we walked hand in hand out of the infirmary.
As we moved towards the Gryffindor common room, Sirius slid his hand around my waist, and under my shirt. "Shall we find a quiet space to finish what we started?" he asked.
I kissed the side of his mouth, and nodded. "Yes, lets."
