When the pair returned to Grimmauld Place they were tired, and soaked, and really didn't appreciate the curious stares they received from the Weasley's and the 'I-told-you-so' look from Mrs. Weasley. Grumbling to himself Remus led Harry up to their room and yawned tiredly. He would have to leave tomorrow, and he knew that she should start packing, but this was still a sore spot between himself and Harry.
Harry walked out of the room briefly but came back with two beige towels, one of which he lobbed at Remus and then suppressed a snort as it landed with a spectacular 'thlump' on his head. He smiled briefly when Remus' head popped back out from under the towel.
His face then turned solemn he dreaded asking what he needed to after _just_ making up.
"Moony .. Remus. What's going to happen tomorrow? We yelled at one another but we never resolved anything." Harry said hesitantly and the panther in him crouched as though bracing itself incase Remus said something again. It hurt actually for Remus to have not met the otherside of his mate and already it was wary of him.
Remus cringed at the way tension radiated from his mate. With a defeated sigh the werewolf came over and wrapped his arms around the Gryffindor. "If you want to be with me when I transform then you may. Since you obviously want to be, I'll stay here and wait for the potion from Severus."
The thin and waning man began to place gentle, but sweet kisses on Harry's face and neck, "I'm sorry." Remus knew the words from earlier still hurt his mate, and it pained him that he had done so.
Harry hugged him back and breathed in the scent of his mate.
"It's ok, really, high emotions make us say things that we don't mean." He pulled back and placed a gentle kiss on the lips of his werewolf and searched his gaze before gnawing slightly on his lip in indecision.
"Do you want to meet .. it, me, I don't know what you call it." He breathed out a laugh and rubbed Remus' shoulders gently.
Remus raised and eyebrow, "What do you mean?" Harry smiled nervously and stepped back a bit, and before long Remus was staring down at a midnight panther, that had glittering green eyes.
The werewolf 'eeped', but knelt down beside of the animal, who placed a large lick on Remus' mouth, "Harry, I like kissing you but that was just nasty!" He said teasingly while rubbing his mouth with the back of his hand.
Harry purred and bumped his head under Remus' chin. He walked around in a full body rob before settling in Remus' lap and purred contently.
He bgan to lick soothingly at the adams apple of Remus' throat and he could taste the salty tinge on the pale skin. He continued to rub his head under the elegant chin, marking his scent over the man.
He nipped gently at the fingers that were stroking his glossy fur and he turned slightly so Remus could reach his chest.
Remus smiled and picked up on what Harry was thinking. He ran his long tapered fingers through the shiny black fur and then down the panther's lean chest to rub his stomach. ("Typical cat.")
"Now, transform back so we can celebrate." He said in a husky voice.
Harry made a noise that was a growl and purr mixed in one. He was half way through the sound when he transformed and so the end of it came from a now very human Harry.
Harry pushed gently at Remus' chest and straddled his hips, letting the cat take over again.
"You know, "he purred seductively into the sensitive ear, "It's been two days since we mated, I'm feeling kind of antsy." He rubbed down slightly, similar to how he had in panther form and began purring again as he nipped Remus' skin.
Remus could feel his blood quicken, and he rolled over, successfully straddling his mate, and running his hands over the clothed body, "Okay, these must go."
The werewolf took Harry's still slightly wet shirt and slung it over his shoulder, hungrily running his hands over the smooth chest, and then licking up the droplets of water that had soaked through Harry's clothes and onto his skin.
Harry smiled with his eyes closed and let the werewolf's kisses ravage his body. He began to pull off the other man's clothing before stopping suddenly. Remus sat up and looked at him questioningly. Harry just smiled at him.
"Hand me my want please." He said quietly. Remus reached over the table and complied.
Harry pointed the wand at the door and muttered an incantation. Giving Remus the wand back he laid back down.
"Door's locked." He smirked and Remus returned it before returning to his ministrations. Harry just laid back and let Remus love him.
~~*~~
Harry bounced down the stairs in a pair of slacks and an oversized button up shirt that was Remus' about an hour later. He walked into the kitchen with a slight limp but he had a huge grin on his face. The Weasley clan watched him putter about and Ginny had to conceal a grin.
"Lovely evening isn't it?" He chirped before setting about to make two coffees. He ignored the blatent glare he was getting from Mrs. Weasley and carried the two cups out of the kitchen, calling a goodbye over his shoulder and limped back up to the bedroom where Remus was sitting up in the bed, sheets around his waist with his reading glasses on as he skimmed over the diary Harry had shown them after their strenuous activities.
"Harry this diary is amazing! It brings back so many memories." The werewolf's eyes became unfocused as he took a trip down memory lane.
"Remus either take this mug of coffee or have it dumped in your lap, and that wouldn't feel great either."
Remus shook his head and grinned sheepishly at Harry. The werewolf hadn't missed the slight limp that Harry harbored and he knew that he would have to be more gentle next time. Smiling he took the offered coffee and took a small sip. Black and strong, just the way he liked it.
Harry wrinkled his nose and slipped into the bed, "Don't see how you drink that nastiness."
Remus laughed, "Your father got me hooked on it." Putting the book down, and placing his coffee on the bedside table, Remus scooted closer to Harry and laid his head on the young man's chest, yawning with exhaustion.
Harry smiled down at the blonde head tickling the slightly revealed part of his chest. He ran his fingers through the fine hair and placed his own cup on the table.
"This is why I never worried about transforming, Remus." He said soothingly, gesturing to the diary, "I was in good hands." He said with a soft smirk.
He laid his head back against the headboard and closed his eyes. ("Today has definitely been a packed day.") He thought chuckling slightly causing Remus to look at him in an amused curiosity.
"Nothing." He answered vaguely. He returned to his strokes before a thought struck him.
"Hey Remus? If Padfoot was Moony's mate, will your wolf side even take to the cat .... We really should name it, this is getting difficult." He chuckled.
Remus sat up and looked at Harry, "Did you know that I chose Sirisu and James' nicknames?!" The werewolf grinned, "Ok, let me think about what yours could be."
He suddenly had a mischievous thought, "Well, here are just a few ... Slinky, and Kitty."
Harry playfully slapped at Remus, "Come on, we've got to call the Panther something."
"The Pink Panther." Remus tee-hee-ed over his own joke, Harry rolling his eyes skyward, and then went quiet with thought, "Shadow". He said after a while and Harry nodded slightly smiling.
"Shadow." He agreed and kissed Remus deeply to show his appreciation.
"But still, do you think Moony will accept Shadow, what with him being a cat?" He asked quietly.
Remus kissed Harry's lips and parted them with his tongue, sliding his along Harry's until air was needed, "Moony will love Shadow."
Harry grinned and scrunched up his nose cheekily before pretending to prepare for a pounce. He gave a great purr and smiled in a lop-sided way that show one of his canines. He leapt and pinned Remus to the bed and the werewolf actually gave a shout of surprise.
"And Shadow is infatuated by Moony." He growled softly and nipped the tip of Remus' ear. "My turn on top I think." HE said pulling back and grinning in an almost evil way. Remus' gaze diluted and he returned the grin almost as widely before Harry leant down and kissed him in such a way that had he been standing his knees would've given away.
~*~
Harry was woken with a gentle knock at the door and as he blearily took in his surroundings he smiled lovingly at the figure of the older werewolf curled around him, quite literally out for the count.
("That's what happens when you take on young lover Remus." Harry chuckled to himself and moving slowly as not to wake him he got out of the bed and pulled on the slacks and Moony's shirt he had worn earlier. Stretching as he walked to the door he opened it to find a smiling Ron.
"Dinners up mate." He said in a teasing whisper, "You might want to wake your significant other. He's changing tomorrow so I think food will do him good." He looked over Harry's shoulder to catach a glimpse of the sleeping man, but Harry laughed and pushed him backwards.
"Get out of it Ron." He whispered back with a laugh. Ron smirked and turned to leave but briefly looked over his shoulder, "Oh and cast a silencing charm next time, Mum had to hum loudly to ignore you."
Ron laughed at the mortified look upon Harry's face and carried on his way down stairs.
Remus opened an eye as his body warmth moved away and left the bed. Frowning he poked his head up to see Harry talking to Ron at the door. Stretching and sighing at the light feeling that presided over him, Remus smiled when Harry came back, "We'll have to remember that bit about the silencing charm.
Harry shook his head, "Hopefully they will be gone soon and we won't have to worry about it."
The werewolf had to agree, "I can just see Molly's face now." He uncharacteristically giggled and snuggled closer, "Well, my Shadow, I believe I'll let you be on top more often."
Harry laughed and pretended to sigh, "What can I say, I am a natural." He said vaguely and his hand flopped in a very camp way causing Remus to laugh.
"Stop that Harry, you are not camp gay." He chuckled but Harry smirked boyishly. He tutted and put his hands on his hips.
"What are you on about Darling, I'm as bent as a pretzel." Remus was laughing now and he gave Harry a playful slap on the arm.
"Ok I'll stop now, slowly stripping away any masculinity I had left there. Besides ... You are the woman of the relationship obviously." He dodged the swift slap Remus threw at him with a gasp and jumped from the bed laughing.
Since he was dressed he was able to stand on the other side of the thresh- hold of the door where he danced cheekily to Remus who was only just pulling on some clothes. He stopped and laughed then walked back in and wrapped his arms around Remus' waist.
"Like I said before we got together. 'Fun To Tease Lupin'." He chuckled before leaning up for a kiss.
"Am I still "Wow what an ass Lupin?" He grinned and looked at his butt.
Harry's eyes lit with laughter and he pounced on Remus, causing him to flop onto the bed, "Oh yes! Although I don't know if I'll let the others say that." Shadow was once again showing through Harry and showing his want for dominance.
Remus flipped them both over, and straddled Harry, "Now we are just going to have to change that little bit about me being the woman of the relationship aren't we?"
Harry laughed again and stubbornly shook his head 'no'. Remus growled and they started to wrestle for who could be on top, laughing and yelling the whole time until they finally fell off the bed with a thump.
They heard a great shout from downstairs and both cringed like two naughty school boys who had just been caught nicking sweets. Remus stood and helped Harry up where Harry seemed to bounce back up into place. He smirked playfully, placed a kiss on his check and led the way out of the bedroom and downstairs.
"You two alright we heard a noise?" Mrs. Weasley asked in a forced casual voice which caused Harry to smirk and wink at Ron, who returned the grin.
"Remus fell over on his way to the bathroom." He said nonchalantly, You know how clumsy he is." He smirked boyishly up at Remus.
The werewolf growled, "Really now Harry. I thought it was you who made that noise. You did fall asleep on the toiled and I just believed that you had fallen off!"
Mrs. Weasley coughed loudly and the three men in the kitchen stifled their laughter at the woman's blushing face.
"Remus, Harry, there will be a Order meeting tonight so please make sure you attend."
Remus smiled as if nothing at all had happened, "Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley, I'll make sure that Harry and I make it on time."
Harry continued to mock glare at Remus and had missed the whole conversation with Mrs. Weasley.
"Ah, you're gonna get it." He growled t Remus, "As if I'd fall asleep on the loo. I reckon we should tell them what really happened 'woman'!
Several heads shot up to meet Remus questioningly but Remus just smirked and shook his head. He settled into the chair beside of Harry who proceeded to beat him gently and Remus began to have a playful cat fight with him causing Ron and the twins to laugh. Ginny joined in and Harry managed a strangled cry as the two oppositions began to team up.
"Alright I give I give!" He cried laughing, "What's for tea Mrs. Weasley?" He asked thwaping Remus' hands away with a grin.
The group ate in a buzz of nattering, Mrs. Weasley still a little uncomfortable but managing to sustain a conversation with Remus until Bill nudged Harry and winked at him. He settled his chin in his hand and pretended to be flirtatious with him. Harry looked confused for a moment.
"What are you doing?" He whispered.
"I want to see how protective Remus is." Bill whispered back.
Well, needless to say, it didn't take Remus long to notice the flirty looks passing between his mate and Bill Weasley. The werewolf's eyes narrowed and he could feel a low growl begin in his throat, but he knew that Bill and he knew that the guy would love to get a rise out of him.
So Remus stood, scooted Harry's chair over and sat between the two men, and with a grin he continued his conversation with Mrs. Weasley.
Bill roared with laughter and settled back in his chair, slapping a hand across his knee. Harry shook his head and laughed at the contagious hysterics of the older red head. He grinned up at Remus and placed a small kiss on his lips.
"You really are quite daft Remus." He said affectionately whilst Bill teased him from his chair, declaring to the werewolf that he was rubbing his foot up Harry's thigh. Harry gave him a whack upside the head and Ron appeared to choke on his drink in fits of laughter. Harry pretended to scowl at Bill.
"As if mate, I'm a bit out of your league really." He said with as straight a face as he could muster.
Remus grinned, but straightened his face and played along, "Yes, Bill, you really don't want to know what I had to do to get into Harry's league."
The werewolf squeezed Harry's leg and put on a serious face, but the twinkle in his eye gave him away. Harry resisted the urge to laugh and nodded in agreement.
Bill tried, but failed, to keep a normal face and eventually he was practically falling off his chair cackling at the whole scene whilst Harry shook his head at Ron and Ginny who were laughing.
"And they're all meant to be of age." He said in an amused manner. "Why are you two using me in your little pissing contest?" He asked looking between Remus and Bill, who had finally dragged himself back into his chair.
"Well Remus is a laugh, mate, I was curious actually. I've heard rumors on werewolves and their mates. I personally think it's rather sweet." He said slapping Remus' shoulder in a manly playful manner.
Remus laughed and looked at Harry, "And besides you have just become 'Fun To Tease Harry'!" The werewolf tossed his arm around Harry's neck and playfully squeezed.
Harry picked up a drink and began to sip at it before throwing a casual comment out.
"I'd rather be 'Wow he can keep going all night.'"
"OK!" Remus exclaimed loudly clapping his hands, "Who's for dessert?" He asked anxiously and Harry, along with Bill, fell to the floor crying in loud laughter. Remus had a rather delectable blush on his face as he walked past the scowling Mrs. Weasley (although he was pretty sure he could see a smile trying to break through) and walked into the large pantry to retrieve some apple pie.
Harry stood and wiped his tears from his eyes, letting out a little chuckle of mirth every now and again before walking towards the pantry. He found Remus pretending to look for the dessert.
"It's here Moony." Harry said picking up a tray directly behind Remus, "Why do you always hide when things like this happen?" He whispered with a chuckle.
Remus shrugged, "I'm just not comfortable when the conversation goes too deeply into my private life, "He shrugged, "I'm a private person." However, the werewolf was glad they were alone, and he hungrily wrapped his arms around Harry, placing a kiss on his neck, "Mmm ... forget apple pie."
Harry chuckled and curled his arms around Remus' neck. He purred which vibrated through his throat and caused a tingle to shoot through Remus lips.
"Um ... Moonchild, this is how we got caught last time." He said, his eyes still closed and a smile playing on his lips. He pulled away and winked at the werewolf before sauntering out of the cupboard with the dessert.
He turned very quickly back and whispered into the elder's ears teasingly. "We can play with the apple sauce later." Winking again he continued to the table where comments of delight at the meal were given.
~~*~~
"Ah, now we can finally play with the apple sauce." Remus said in a playful growl, as he pounced on Harry, pushing him down on the covered bed. "Now, who is on top and who is the woman?" He said and straddled Harry, placing hard kisses on the young man's neck while letting his fingers roam up inside Harry's shirt.
In moments Harry's shirt was tossed to the floor and Remus once again admired his mate.
Harry was stunned when Remus leapt but now he was laughing and rolled them both over, pinning Remus' hands by his head.
"Mine." He growled all restraints leaving him, "I've only been on once, your turn on the bottom."
He began to slowly undo the elder's shirt and every piece of skin revealed he nipped gently. Briefly he wondered how Sirius would do this, whether Remus had a favorite thing or what really pleasure him. It was these thoughts that made him slowly lose steam but he didn't want to ask, it was almost like saying "Who do you think is better?" And Harry knew that the werewolf loved them in different ways.
Remus seemed to look at him concerned ad so Harry just smirked and leant in to kiss him. He pulled back humming happily.
"You know .. despite everything .... I haven't actually really told you that I love you, you've just been there when I said the words." He mused aloud.
The werewolf whined slightly, "Harry, not that I don't like your train of thought, but don't leave me hanging here!" Remus squirmed and blushed prettily causing Harry to grin and go back to his administrations.
Harry hummed against the pale skin with a grin causing gentle shivers to break out on the skin. He sped up a little but he didn't want to give in just yet, he was finding that torturing Remus was rather satisfying.
He pulled back with an evil grin but quickly put on a straight face.
"Maybe we should invite Bill?" He said with a teasing glint in his eyes.
Remus was not in the talking mood, and while he raised up to place kisses on Harry's chest he growled out, "Too much hair."
Harry pushed him back down forefully but with a gentle manner. He sat upright and smirked an evil lop-sided grin and his eyes flashed with mischief.
"Actually, I quiet like seeing you squirm .. What if I did this?" He leant down and trailed his tongue down the centre of Remus' chest lightly, placing a little nip every few inches. Remus was wiggling under him which caused him to bite down harder.
"Now, now." He scolded, "Try not to move Moonchild, or I'll just leave it like this."
Remus stopped all movement at those words. ("Well, I'm never letting you on top again.") He silently threw these words at Harry, but was so happy that the young man couldn't read his thoughts.
"Good Moony." Harry said in a manner to one rewarding a good pet. He went to his trail and slipped lower and lower, priding himself at the moans he was extracting from the older man.
He rested his hands on the slim hips and tugged gently at the jeans that covered the soft flesh beneath it.
"Let me show you how much I love you my beautiful werewolf.' He purred after he climbed back up on Remus body and lowered himself on the panting body beneath him.
~~*~~
Remus lay snuggled into the warm body that was wrapped around him, and sighed. The werewolf had the great idea that he would roll over and face Harry. He loved watching the young man sleep. He rolled over, but didn't meet more bed. Instead he met the floor!
With a groan REmus rubbed his backside. Well, Harry must have taken _his_ side of the bed!
From downstairs Mrs. Weasley's voice could be heard, "COULD YOU TWO BE QUIET?!"
Remus smiled sheepishly. They had forgotten the silencing spell once again.
Harry was laughing himself into a coma still on the bed. He had woken up when the sheets had suddenly been ripped off him and he had heard the resounding thump later accompanied by the oh so delightful yell from us surrogate mother.
He propped himself up on one elbow and smirked down at his lover still on the floor.
"Ironic that I said the bump earlier was you falling over eh?" He sat up still chuckling and held a hand out to the sore werewolf. He pulled him, and the sheets, back to him and they settled for hiding under the covers again.
"We seem to spend a lot of time here." He said smiling, "I'm starting to forget what it's like to wear clothes."
Remus grinned kissing Harry's ear affectionately, "That's not a bad thing is it?"
Harry pretended to think for a moment but smiled down at him whilst cheekily watching him from the corner of his eye.
"Not one bit Moony, love. I was just wondering if you're always like this the night before the full moon?" He said settling himself so Remus' head was on his chest, something that had recently become a habit.
Remus grinned mischievously, "What are you talking about, my Shadow, I am like this _all_the time." With a small chuckle at his won words Remus found that sleep was finally calling him.

Harry's eyes lit with laughter and he pounced on Remus, causing him to flop onto the bed, "Oh yes! Although I don't know if I'll let the others say that." Shadow was once again showing through Harry and showing his want for dominance.
Remus flipped them both over, and straddled Harry, "Now we are just going to have to change that little bit about me being the woman of the relationship aren't we?"
Harry laughed again and stubbornly shook his head 'no'. Remus growled and they started to wrestle for who could be on top, laughing and yelling the whole time until they finally fell off the bed with a thump.
They heard a great shout from downstairs and both cringed like two naughty school boys who had just been caught nicking sweets. Remus stood and helped Harry up where Harry seemed to bounce back up into place. He smirked playfully, placed a kiss on his check and led the way out of the bedroom and downstairs.
"You two alright we heard a noise?" Mrs. Weasley asked in a forced casual voice which caused Harry to smirk and wink at Ron, who returned the grin.
"Remus fell over on his way to the bathroom." He said nonchalantly, You know how clumsy he is." He smirked boyishly up at Remus.
The werewolf growled, "Really now Harry. I thought it was you who made that noise. You did fall asleep on the toiled and I just believed that you had fallen off!"
Mrs. Weasley coughed loudly and the three men in the kitchen stifled their laughter at the woman's blushing face.
"Remus, Harry, there will be a Order meeting tonight so please make sure you attend."
Remus smiled as if nothing at all had happened, "Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley, I'll make sure that Harry and I make it on time."
Harry continued to mock glare at Remus and had missed the whole conversation with Mrs. Weasley.
"Ah, you're gonna get it." He growled t Remus, "As if I'd fall asleep on the loo. I reckon we should tell them what really happened 'woman'!
Several heads shot up to meet Remus questioningly but Remus just smirked and shook his head. He settled into the chair beside of Harry who proceeded to beat him gently and Remus began to have a playful cat fight with him causing Ron and the twins to laugh. Ginny joined in and Harry managed a strangled cry as the two oppositions began to team up.
"Alright I give I give!" He cried laughing, "What's for tea Mrs. Weasley?" He asked thwaping Remus' hands away with a grin.
The group ate in a buzz of nattering, Mrs. Weasley still a little uncomfortable but managing to sustain a conversation with Remus until Bill nudged Harry and winked at him. He settled his chin in his hand and pretended to be flirtatious with him. Harry looked confused for a moment.
"What are you doing?" He whispered.
"I want to see how protective Remus is." Bill whispered back.
Well, needless to say, it didn't take Remus long to notice the flirty looks passing between his mate and Bill Weasley. The werewolf's eyes narrowed and he could feel a low growl begin in his throat, but he knew that Bill and he knew that the guy would love to get a rise out of him.
So Remus stood, scooted Harry's chair over and sat between the two men, and with a grin he continued his conversation with Mrs. Weasley.
Bill roared with laughter and settled back in his chair, slapping a hand across his knee. Harry shook his head and laughed at the contagious hysterics of the older red head. He grinned up at Remus and placed a small kiss on his lips.
"You really are quite daft Remus." He said affectionately whilst Bill teased him from his chair, declaring to the werewolf that he was rubbing his foot up Harry's thigh. Harry gave him a whack upside the head and Ron appeared to choke on his drink in fits of laughter. Harry pretended to scowl at Bill.
"As if mate, I'm a bit out of your league really." He said with as straight a face as he could muster.
Remus grinned, but straightened his face and played along, "Yes, Bill, you really don't want to know what I had to do to get into Harry's league."
The werewolf squeezed Harry's leg and put on a serious face, but the twinkle in his eye gave him away. Harry resisted the urge to laugh and nodded in agreement.
Bill tried, but failed, to keep a normal face and eventually he was practically falling off his chair cackling at the whole scene whilst Harry shook his head at Ron and Ginny who were laughing.
"And they're all meant to be of age." He said in an amused manner. "Why are you two using me in your little pissing contest?" He asked looking between Remus and Bill, who had finally dragged himself back into his chair.
"Well Remus is a laugh, mate, I was curious actually. I've heard rumors on werewolves and their mates. I personally think it's rather sweet." He said slapping Remus' shoulder in a manly playful manner.
Remus laughed and looked at Harry, "And besides you have just become 'Fun To Tease Harry'!" The werewolf tossed his arm around Harry's neck and playfully squeezed.
Harry picked up a drink and began to sip at it before throwing a casual comment out.
"I'd rather be 'Wow he can keep going all night.'"
"OK!" Remus exclaimed loudly clapping his hands, "Who's for dessert?" He asked anxiously and Harry, along with Bill, fell to the floor crying in loud laughter. Remus had a rather delectable blush on his face as he walked past the scowling Mrs. Weasley (although he was pretty sure he could see a smile trying to break through) and walked into the large pantry to retrieve some apple pie.
Harry stood and wiped his tears from his eyes, letting out a little chuckle of mirth every now and again before walking towards the pantry. He found Remus pretending to look for the dessert.
"It's here Moony." Harry said picking up a tray directly behind Remus, "Why do you always hide when things like this happen?" He whispered with a chuckle.
Remus shrugged, "I'm just not comfortable when the conversation goes too deeply into my private life, "He shrugged, "I'm a private person." However, the werewolf was glad they were alone, and he hungrily wrapped his arms around Harry, placing a kiss on his neck, "Mmm ... forget apple pie."
Harry chuckled and curled his arms around Remus' neck. He purred which vibrated through his throat and caused a tingle to shoot through Remus lips.
"Um ... Moonchild, this is how we got caught last time." He said, his eyes still closed and a smile playing on his lips. He pulled away and winked at the werewolf before sauntering out of the cupboard with the dessert.
He turned very quickly back and whispered into the elder's ears teasingly. "We can play with the apple sauce later." Winking again he continued to the table where comments of delight at the meal were given.
~~*~~
"Ah, now we can finally play with the apple sauce." Remus said in a playful growl, as he pounced on Harry, pushing him down on the covered bed. "Now, who is on top and who is the woman?" He said and straddled Harry, placing hard kisses on the young man's neck while letting his fingers roam up inside Harry's shirt.
In moments Harry's shirt was tossed to the floor and Remus once again admired his mate.
Harry was stunned when Remus leapt but now he was laughing and rolled them both over, pinning Remus' hands by his head.
"Mine." He growled all restraints leaving him, "I've only been on once, your turn on the bottom."
He began to slowly undo the elder's shirt and every piece of skin revealed he nipped gently. Briefly he wondered how Sirius would do this, whether Remus had a favorite thing or what really pleasure him. It was these thoughts that made him slowly lose steam but he didn't want to ask, it was almost like saying "Who do you think is better?" And Harry knew that the werewolf loved them in different ways.
Remus seemed to look at him concerned ad so Harry just smirked and leant in to kiss him. He pulled back humming happily.
"You know .. despite everything .... I haven't actually really told you that I love you, you've just been there when I said the words." He mused aloud.
The werewolf whined slightly, "Harry, not that I don't like your train of thought, but don't leave me hanging here!" Remus squirmed and blushed prettily causing Harry to grin and go back to his administrations.
Harry hummed against the pale skin with a grin causing gentle shivers to break out on the skin. He sped up a little but he didn't want to give in just yet, he was finding that torturing Remus was rather satisfying.
He pulled back with an evil grin but quickly put on a straight face.
"Maybe we should invite Bill?" He said with a teasing glint in his eyes.
Remus was not in the talking mood, and while he raised up to place kisses on Harry's chest he growled out, "Too much hair."
Harry pushed him back down forefully but with a gentle manner. He sat upright and smirked an evil lop-sided grin and his eyes flashed with mischief.
"Actually, I quiet like seeing you squirm .. What if I did this?" He leant down and trailed his tongue down the centre of Remus' chest lightly, placing a little nip every few inches. Remus was wiggling under him which caused him to bite down harder.
"Now, now." He scolded, "Try not to move Moonchild, or I'll just leave it like this."
Remus stopped all movement at those words. ("Well, I'm never letting you on top again.") He silently threw these words at Harry, but was so happy that the young man couldn't read his thoughts.
"Good Moony." Harry said in a manner to one rewarding a good pet. He went to his trail and slipped lower and lower, priding himself at the moans he was extracting from the older man.
He rested his hands on the slim hips and tugged gently at the jeans that covered the soft flesh beneath it.
"Let me show you how much I love you my beautiful werewolf.' He purred after he climbed back up on Remus body and lowered himself on the panting body beneath him.
~~*~~
Remus lay snuggled into the warm body that was wrapped around him, and sighed. The werewolf had the great idea that he would roll over and face Harry. He loved watching the young man sleep. He rolled over, but didn't meet more bed. Instead he met the floor!
With a groan REmus rubbed his backside. Well, Harry must have taken _his_ side of the bed!
From downstairs Mrs. Weasley's voice could be heard, "COULD YOU TWO BE QUIET?!"
Remus smiled sheepishly. They had forgotten the silencing spell once again.
Harry was laughing himself into a coma still on the bed. He had woken up when the sheets had suddenly been ripped off him and he had heard the resounding thump later accompanied by the oh so delightful yell from us surrogate mother.
He propped himself up on one elbow and smirked down at his lover still on the floor.
"Ironic that I said the bump earlier was you falling over eh?" He sat up still chuckling and held a hand out to the sore werewolf. He pulled him, and the sheets, back to him and they settled for hiding under the covers again.
"We seem to spend a lot of time here." He said smiling, "I'm starting to forget what it's like to wear clothes."
Remus grinned kissing Harry's ear affectionately, "That's not a bad thing is it?"
Harry pretended to think for a moment but smiled down at him whilst cheekily watching him from the corner of his eye.
"Not one bit Moony, love. I was just wondering if you're always like this the night before the full moon?" He said settling himself so Remus' head was on his chest, something that had recently become a habit.
Remus grinned mischievously, "What are you talking about, my Shadow, I am like this _all_the time." With a small chuckle at his won words Remus found that sleep was finally calling him.
