Later that night, when Sirius has promised his friend he would be there, he borrowed James' cloak again. Only this time, James insisted on coming as well, and with him the little rat-faced Peter. Sirius sighed, but gave in, as it was James' cloak in the first place, but it was rather bothersome getting all three up all those stairs, especially with Sirius' arms full of books and candy.

James' opened the door when they finally reached the infirmary, slower than he normally would have, because Sirius warned him about the Nazi Nurse, and that she would probably be up watching him or something. The door creaked when it opened, and it seemed like eternity before the door was open enough to allow all three of the boys into the room. Remus shot up and stared at the door from his corner, eager for Sirius to come, and for something to do before his medication set in. But Helga was no were to be seen.

James was the first to leave the safety of the cloak, followed by Sirius, then Peter who ended up carrying it until their departure.

"Where's the Nurse?" Sirius whispered as he sped to Remus' side.

"I haven't seen her all night, actually," said Remus in a conversational voice. He didn't seem happy that James and Peter were tagging along. Sirius sat down on the bed and offered him the armful of 'goodies', which he gladly accepted. He looked over the book titles quickly, but placed them on the bedside table almost as fast. It would have been apparent that he was blushing except for the poor light of the hospital wing.

James finally pulled up the bedside chair that had been so many times in the last week, and joined the conversation with Peter standing behind him, apparently scared or something.

"So, she just left you here or something?" he asked.

"Yeah, all night. Since you left," Remus was still looking at Sirius. James rolled his eyes, and pretended to puke, teasing Remus and Sirius since Peter couldn't see.

"Sorry I couldn't come earlier," he responded, ignoring the Potter boy.

"It's okay."

Sirius mumbled to himself and turned back to James. He met his stare for a second and then finally James stood up. He sighed and turned to Peter.

"Hey, let's go wait out in the hall. Keep watch for a couple more minutes." James turned his young friend away, and towards the door. Peter looked puzzled. "You looked pretty uncomfortable, so I thought it would be better if we just kept watch for Ms. Nurse outside, until Sirius is done."

"Uh, sure," Peter agreed right away, following his leader outside the room. As soon as the door shut once again, Sirius turned back to Remus, who has latched on to his arm.

"Are you feeling better?" Sirius brushed the wolf's hair back, behind his ear. Remus nodded and pulled the boy closer.

"Are you coming to class tomorrow?"

Another nod.

Sirius laid his head on Remus' cheek, caressing his neck with his next comment.

"Good."

He could feel the wolf's fingers in his hair as he slid his mouth closer. "I've missed you." Remus growled when his neck finally felt Sirius' lips.

"Bastard..." The patient choked out the insult. Sirius went to move even closer, but James knocked on the door. The boy turned in frustration.

The infirmary door slid open just a little, so that one of James eyes could be seen, and the boy whispered "She's coming!" before pulling the cloak over his head, and probably Peter's as well.

Sirius barely had time to duck behind the bed and hope for the best before the door opened again, only this time the skinny nurse came through.

"Remus, you are still awake?" she sighed, looking at the recovering werewolf in disappointment.

"You never gave me that potion you promised."

She glared and him, and then shifted her gaze to the table next to him. "Where did those come from" she pointed at the books and chocolates. Sirius was about to melt into a puddle on the floor as she took a step closer.

"The headmaster brought them in earlier, on my request," Remus lied. She looked at him skeptically, but seemed to accept his answer.

"I shall go retrieve the sleeping potion." She turned down the row of beds, towards her office. After she had left the room again, Remus pulled the other boy off the floor.

"Hurry up and get out of here, will ya?" Remus smiled slightly and pushed his friend towards the door. Sirius took a second to lean in and touch his lips to Remus' before running for the door, and back to James and Peter.
