I do not own any of the characters.
Translations are at the bottom.
I singed up for the MagiVision Song Contest and was given the following prompt:
Country: Switzerland
Theme: Earth
Please enjoy and know that all translations are at the end notes. Yes, parts of Switzerland speak French. My idea is that is set in the Jura mountain area where French is spoken. All translations were done by me (I have had 3 years of French in school).
Sirius sat at the dining room table at Number 12, Grimmauld Place, even after everyone else had went to bed. It was coming up on the second full moon since he had allowed the Order to use his house. It was also the second full moon he would spend with Remus since the taller male had stopped teaching at Hogwarts. Both men spent the last full moon cramped in Sirius' bedroom and they both agreed that this full moon wouldn't be the same. That was the reason Sirius sat alone at the table. He was trying to think of anywhere Remus would enjoy to spend the full moon away from the war.
In front of him laid a map and an open book of magical cities they could visit. This was the fifteenth day of sitting in front of these items and he still had not come up with a location. How hard could it be to find another country? Closing his eyes and leaning his head back, he thought about Remus and where he wanted to go. Little did he know, Remus had joined him, looking over the map and book with a silent smile.
"You know we don't have to leave the country, Pads," he said softly.
"I know," he said looking at the male standing by him. "But I want to take you away from the war, even if for one day."
"I may allow you to do that, but it would have to be for a minimum of three days."
"Why three?" Sirius asked confused at the point.
"Traveling the day of and after a full moon isn't the best idea. Plus it will draw less attention than us visiting for a night."
"Sounds fine to me," he smirked at the taller male.
"So where do you want to go?"
"What do you think of Switzerland?"
"I am fine with any place you are," Remus replied leaning down and kissing him gently.
"Remus," Sirius gasped as his hands moved to his lover's face. "You keep this up and you know what will happen."
"I know," was the only response Sirius got as he pushed himself closer.
"Give me an hour and I will be all yours," he whispered softly. "Plus I don't think you want to hear the insults from my mother if we just happen to catch her attention."
"Do you think she bothers me that much?"
"At times, yes. I still remember the time she called you... Yeah... You flinched and I thought you would leave," Sirius responded with a kiss.
"I will never leave you, Sirius."
"One hour," he smiled. "Then you will have me for three days."
"Deal," Remus kissed him once more before moving away to go to their shared room and get a change of clothes. "See you in an hour, Pads."
One hour seemed to pass too slow. It seemed to drag on as Remus waited patiently in the dining room. Finally Sirius came down with a small bag and a goblet in hand.
"I made sure you have a dose for tomorrow. The last thing I need is us running off and forgetting it."
"I didn't even think of that. You would think that after two years, I would remember something that important."
"But think of how many years you didn't have this option and had to deal with... your problem."
"That's very true," Remus smiled before standing up and grabbing his small bag of clothes. "Do the others know?"
"Only that I am taking you for the full. That's all," Sirius answered softly.
"Good. Did you tell Harry?" Remus asked softly planting a gentle kiss to his lover's lips.
"Yeah. He kept trying to convince me to let him come along," he kissed back just as gently. "Thankfully he didn't push the issue farther."
Remus nodded as his hands rested on Sirius' hips.
"Let's go before we get too caught up," Sirius whispered before dragging the taller male to the fireplace in the study across the hall and grabbing a handful of Floo Powder. "See you in Switzerland."
With that, Sirius dropped Remus' hand and threw the floo powder down naming a wizard bar in Switzerland that happened to have a French name. Remus watched silently as his lover disappeared and followed his action. As his view cleared, he saw Sirius waiting for him.
"Hope that wasn't too rough."
"Not at all," Remus smiled as a young lady walked up to them.
"Salut. Je m'appelle Nicole. Je vous sers quelque chose à boire?"
"Non merci, Nicole. Bonne Journée," Sirius said before leading Remus to the door.
"Wait, you never told me you could speak French. When did you learn French?" Remus asked as they stepped outside.
"Do you seriously think that any child born in 'The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black' could get away with NOT being able to speak at least French and German? Mom would have had my head if I couldn't speak both."
"That makes sense," Remus smiled as he looked at the landscape.
They stood on the edge of rolling hills and mountains. The grass was greener than Remus had ever seen, and the air smelled fresh and crisp.
"I needed this," Remus said closing his eyes and breathing in the smells of the Earth deeply.
"I know you did. Why do you think I suggested it?"
"No clue. Maybe to give us time alone without any interruptions," Remus replied turning to Sirius. "Maybe so we can be alone and voice our pleasure to one another where we don't have Molly trying to stop us."
"If I hear 'There are children present' one more time, I am going to lose my cool with her. Hell, Ginny is the youngest and at fourteen, she can handle seeing a couple kiss. You really think Molly and Arthur do not kiss in front of their kids. Remus, think about…"
Remus cut him off by pressing his lips firmly to Sirius' as he wrapped his arms around his neck. It took Sirius no time to pull Remus closer and kiss back.
"We need to apparate somewhere alone," Sirius muttered softly breaking the kiss. "Then I will give you anything you want."
"Anything?" Remus asked with a grin.
"Anything you could possibly want, Moony."
"See that farthest hill?" Remus asked pointing across the field.
"Yeah."
"Meet me on the other side of it," he smiled and apparated out of view.
A grin crossed Sirius' face as he apparated to that spot only to find Remus had dropped his bag and had started to remove his sweater.
"Right here?" Sirius asked only receiving a nod. "Do you like the outdoors that much, Moony?"
"I love the smell of the Earth. I love the feel of the dirt. Being outside calls to me the closer I get to the full. It's like the wolf is on the edge and begging to be let out."
"Is that why sex is almost always rougher the days leading up to the full?" Sirius whispered in his ear.
"Yes," Remus nodded before taking off his shoes. "It's as if I can't control myself, Pads. The wolf sees you as…" he paused unsure how to finish his thought.
"As?" Sirius asked. "Remus, you can tell me."
"As our mate," Remus whispered refusing to look up at Sirius.
"Do you want me to be your mate?" Sirius asked softly.
Remus refused to answer as he stood still. Of course he wanted that, but he refused to tell Sirius.
"Moony," Sirius said taking a step forward and wrapping his arms around Remus' waist. "I will ask you again. Do you want me to be your mate?"
Remus muttered inaudibly as he turned away from the male in front of him.
"I am not playing this game, Remus," Sirius said as one hand moved to gently grab Remus' chin and turn him back to face him. "I need to know what you want."
"Yes," Remus said barely above a whisper. "I want you as my lover, as my mate, as my everything. It's only ever been you, Sirius."
Letting his hand slid to the back of Remus' head, he pulled him down into a kiss as he pressed up on his tiptoes. Remus' arms wrapped around him once more as they fell to the soft Earth below them. Their worries disappeared as their kiss deepened. Sirius pulled back softly to catch his breath, looking up at his panting lover.
"J'ai envie de toi, Remus," Sirius said with a smile.
"I have no clue what you said, but it sounded sexy."
"I said I want you, Remus," Sirius whispered in his ear causing him to blush.
"Take off your clothes," Remus said as he pulled his clothes off as quickly as he could. "You are teasing me so much… I can't say no any longer, Pads. I need you."
As soon as Sirius had his jacket and shirt off, Remus had pushed him back down into the soft ground and proceeded to kiss up his jawline, up to his ear, feeling his heartrate pick up. Nipping his ear gently, he moved down Sirius' neck, each kiss carefully placed until he reached the crook of his neck. This is where the wolf insisted to mark him. Not being able to resist any longer, Remus bared his teeth and bit down hard, hearing Sirius gasp and hold on tightly.
"Prends-moi," Sirius moaned, panting hard, "S'il vous plaît."
Remus let go of his neck as his hands slid down his lover's chest, down to his waist band.
"If you want me to stop, say so in English," he glanced up at his lover's grey eyes.
"There is nothing you could do to me that I wouldn't want."
"Careful what you ask for, Black," Remus warned before pulling down Sirius' pants. "You don't know what the wolf is capable of."
Without speaking another word, Remus' lips wrapped around Sirius' erect member and slid down, taking the whole thing into his mouth. Sirius' eyes rolling into the back of his head as his fingers tangled into the dirty blonde and grey hair in his lap. Slowly and carefully, Remus started to bob up and down the member in his mouth, delighting in the noises leaving Sirius' mouth. The slow bobbing up and down was starting to drive Sirius crazy as he pushed up only to receive a low growl from Remus.
"Plus vite!" he practically cried out.
Almost as if knowing what was said, Remus started to move faster. Sirius gripped his hair tighter, pulling slightly as he grew closer to release.
"Remus," Sirius moaned loudly before thrusting up into his mouth.
Remus' hands gripped Sirius' hips tightly as he bobbed faster, hearing Sirius' cries getting louder before he cried out and came in his mouth. Remus swallowed before pulling back and looking at HIS mate.
"I love you, Pads."
"I love you too, Moons," he smiled leaning up and kissing him. "Veus-tu m'épouser?"
"Sirius, I can't speak French."
"Will you marry me, Remus?"
Remus' eyes went wide. He knew he had heard Sirius correctly, but how could he want him. He was a werewolf. He was covered in scars. He was poor and couldn't hold a job. He was nothing compared to Sirius Black.
"Remus, you don't have to…"
"Why me?" Remus asked as fear set into his eyes.
"I love you. All of you, Remus. I do not care about you being a werewolf. It makes you who you are. Your scars show your strength. I could care less about money. I just… I need you Remus."
Remus hugged Sirius as tears started to fall down his cheeks. The smell of the dirt on Sirius filled his nose as he closed his eyes.
"How do you say yes in French?"
"Oui," Sirius answered.
"Oui," Remus said back. "Yes, I will marry you."
"Repeat after me. Oui."
"Oui."
"Je."
"Je."
"Vais."
"Vais."
"M'épouser."
"M'épouser."
"All together now. Oui. Je vais m'épouser."
"Oui. Je vais m'épouser."
Sirius leaned forward and kissed Remus with the biggest smile.
"I want to take your last name, Lupin."
"Whatever you want."
Returning to Number 12, Grimmauld Place wasn't as bad. Thankfully no one was up and they could sneak in. Remus sat silently at the dining room table catching up on news via "The Daily Prophet" while Sirius put their bags up and ordered Kreacher to get tea. Once everyone started to wake up, Sirius knew what needed to be done. He silently waited till everyone was sitting in the dining room table, the kids talking about what schoolbooks they needed this year.
"Can I make an announcement?" Sirius asked standing up.
Everyone went quiet as Remus calmed himself, knowing what was going to be said. Molly looked at him as if knowing what had happened.
"Remus and I are getting married in Switzerland before the next full moon. We will spend a few weeks there enjoying nature."
