Summer

"Ohh!" I hear Peter squeak, his voice two octaves higher than normal.

I raise my head from where it's resting on Sirius's stomach to stare at the pudgy boy, looking around to see if anything is the matter. Sirius and I are both sprawled in the lush grass, Sirius's legs strewn every which way, shoes off, socks off, school shirt off, white shirt opened and unbuttoned. I have my sleeves rolled up and have my shoes and socks off. Anything else, and people would be able to see my scars.

"What's up Pete?" James asks lazily from underneath the tree we're around, eyes coded as Lily plays with his hair.

"There was a break-in at Gringott's yesterday! Someone got in and stole over a million Galleons, and the Ministry think it was the Death Eaters." Peter reads from his Daily Prophet, voice quivering slightly.

Underneath me, Sirius snorts and rolls over, unceremoniously dumping me off of him and onto the grass. Disgruntled, I sit up, brushing pieces of grass of my shirt as Sirius stands up, arching his back like a cat and yawning as he leans back in a stretch.

I can see his very defined muscles, his tan skin, his strong arms...

"Remus!" James's tone is gently teasing.

"Really Moony, can you stop drooling? He's not that attractive. He's a little bit of a prat, really." James finishes, closing his eyes again as Lily continues to play with his crazy hair, her thick red hair twisted up into a bun. Sirius gives me an evil wink and flexes his arm muscles before diving to the ground again and practically tackling me.

It's my turn to squeak in surprise and I wiggle around furiously, like a fish out of water, trying to shake Sirius off of me. The heat is too much to be doing any exerting physical activity! Unfortunately, Sirius has other ideas. He playfully starts wrestling with me, easily pinning me down over and over again as my struggles just stop. With my werewolf strength, I could beat him with one hand, but I simply do not have the energy today.

Bored with my lack of reaction, the air around Sirius shimmers as he shifts into Padfoot and starts butting at me with his great black head, tongue lolling out of his mouth in some sort of doggy grin. I shove his face away with a smile, only to find a cold black nose shoved into my ear again. His warm breath blows against my hair, teasing my skin, and I giggle a little from the feeling. But when Sirius starts to playfully lick my neck, I start to crack up. I'm a very ticklish person, and it's very bad for me because Sirius is merciless.

When I'm laughing so hard I'm crying and begging him between gasps of air to stop, he morphs back into being Sirius, laughing along with me as we roll around in the grass, arms locked around each other.

I like days like this, where we can just relax and enjoy ourselves for a while. I love summer.
