"look what a mess we made"

Disclaimer: I do not own the marauders. If I owned Remus, he would not leave the house and we would be married. LOL. Listen to the song "Dare You To Move" by Switchfoot while reading this.

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Chapter 4:

Sirius ran all the way to the hospital wing, his vision blurred by tears welling up in his eyes. He burst in the door. There was a curtain drawn around a bed at the far end of the hospital. He could make out people moving. He walked toward it cautiously. Madam Pomfrey was performing CPR on an unconscious Remus. Sirius watched in horror as she pumped his chest and nothing happened. Tears ran down his face.

Then he saw Remus take a great gasp of air. "Oh thank God." Madam Pomfrey muttered. She placed an oxygen mask on his face and left Sirius alone with Remus. He took a look at his friend. He was pale as death. His face had a slight blue tinge that was leaving as he breathed.

Sirius hated seeing him like this. Remus would hate to be in such a position, all his dignity gone. Remus always strived so much not to show when he was suffering or feeling bad and here he was, half dead.

Sirius began to wonder if Remus had thought about him before he passed out. He knew he had been thinking about Remus. He stared at his unconscious friend and more tears came. He stared harder and thought, move Remus. Look up at me so I can say I'm sorry! Move…move! He cried harder.

He moved toward his bed and held one of his hands. He brushed a lock of soaking wet hair off his brow. He watched his chest moving up and down, feeling thankful he was even doing that. He chuckled; Remus hated being the center of attention, if only he could see how everyone's attention was on him.

He tried to send brain waves to Remus that he was here. That he cared. That he was sorry. That Lucius Malfoy was a git. That everyone was hoping for his recovery and waiting for him to wake up. He squeezed his hand harder.

Then he saw it. Remus groaned and moved a little. He sat up, expectant, and looked at his friend. As he stared, Remus' eyes twitched. "Yes, yes…." Muttered Sirius. Then Remus opened his eyes and looked right at Sirius.

"I'm sorry Remus, I really really am…." Sirius blundered through tears.

"I know." Remus croaked. "So am I."

Sirius just nodded and cried harder. He leaned forward and hugged Remus and Remus began to cry too.
