Remus

The exams were nearly over. Remus, James, Sirius and Peter walked out of the castle and sat down under a tree. Remus began to read, James played with his snitch and Sirius was bored, as he soon declared to his friends. Severus Snape came by and James stood up.

»All right, Snivellus? « said James loudly.

Things got out of hand and soon Snape was hanging with his head upside – down in mid-air. Remus tried very hard to concentrate on the book, however he wasn't able to shut out Lily's voice who was sticking up for her friend. »Let him down! «

»Certainly. «, said James.

Remus still didn't look but a dull bum told him that Snape had fallen down on the grass.

Remus was glad when his friends finally let go of Snape. He knew that he should have tried to stop them but something had held him back. Something always held him back.

He was back in their dormitory when Sirius came in.

»Where's James? «, he asked.

»Looking for Lily. I think he wants to apologise to her. «

Sirius let out a grunt. »Right. As if that would make her go out with him. «. He sat down next to Remus and looked at him.

»What? «, asked Remus.

»I'm bored. «

»You might want to apologise too, you know. To Snape. «

»You're joking, right? Why would I do that? «

»Not in the slightest. It's bullying. «, he gave Sirius a strict look.

»Fine. We might have gone a little too far. I'm sorry, okay? «

»You don't have to apologise to me. «

»To whom am I supposed to do it to then? 'Cause I'm certainly not going to Snape. «

Remus sighed. He had known that it was useless but he had hah to try.

»Anyway. «, changed Sirius the subject. »James and Evans. I just don't understand what he sees in her. I mean, it's been five years now and he still won't give up on her. «

»Well maybe that's because you don't just give up on someone you love. «

»But she doesn't even like him. «

»Liking is always a matter of interpretation. «

Sirius blinked. »What is that supposed to mean? «

Remus blushed. He had talked before thinking about his words.

»I mean that behind a strong aversion is usually a hidden or suppressed attraction. You can only hate someone if you care about them or about what they do. «

»Right. « said Sirius. »I'm still bored though. «

Remus rolled his eyes and groaned but stopped dead when he saw Sirius' smirk. Oh no! He thought. He knew that smirk and it never meant anything good. Slowly, very slowly, Sirius came closer and started tickling Remus. His friend knew exactly what spots he had to touch to make Remus wriggling and giggling. Sirius sat on him, pinning Remus down on the bed with his knees, they were both breathing heavy and Sirius allowed Remus to sit up a bit.

»W – What are you doing? « Remus asked.

Sirius was still on him, moving his face closer and closer to Remus'.

»Interpreting. «, he answered in a husky voice and pressed his lips against Remus'.

Time stood still and the world stopped spinning. It was just him and Sirius and their bodies pressed against each other. He could feel Sirius' hands on his back, slowly making their way down to his hip, could feel his own heart beating fast in his chest. His head was empty, his own hands pulled Sirius closer, onto his lap, their lower bodies rubbing against each other.

Sirius' hands touched his bottom and Remus came back to his senses.
