Sorry I have kept you waiting for an update, I have had loads of inspirations during the week but I was supposed to have a chemistry exam yesterday so I studied like a maniac like every nigth! And then the teacher got sick so it got cancelled until next week, that was kind of annoying!
Anyway I hope you enjoy this chappie it's the longest one yet and I'm sorry if you think I was under the influence of something, perhaps it has got something to do with me watching all the Austin Powers movies? (Yeeeah Baby) And I've been listening to a great song by Baccara - 'Yes sir I can boogie'
Enjoy this and let me know as usual whatever you think you're all so lovely! And thank you for some of the ideas you had:)
Love and hugs - Jessica
"Out for a little morning walk are we?" Sirius said as he stood in front of them, his eyes narrowing.
"And if we were it's none of your business Black…" Snape said who stepped forward.
"None of my business? I bloody make this my business!" Sirius said and grinned his teeth.
James rushed down the stairs. "Damn you Sirius, you must have run all the way." James said and rested against the stair railing.
The atmosphere in the hall was kind of like how it feels before a storm. And the storm broke loose within seconds. It began with Sirius throwing himself at Snape and they both landed hard on the floor. Sirius, the stronger one, soon got himself on top of Snape and gave him a good punch on the nose. Soon they were both fighting beneath their own dignity. Snape found a lock of Sirius's hair and pulled it hard making Sirius scream. James joined in and tried to pull Sirius away but got hit by Sirius elbow.
"Stop it!" Remus screamed. "Please Sirius let go of him… For me!"
Sirius froze with his fist in mid-air. He looked over at Remus. His lip was bleeding. James let go of Sirius who crawled away from Snape and stood up, swaying slightly. He wiped away the blood from the lip that dripped down on his chin. He felt ashamed and looked away. James put his arm around Sirius and escorted him to Madame Pomfrey.
Remus looked over at the two as they headed up the stairs. He sighed and kneeled down next to Snape to check if he had been hurt. Blood was pouring from the nose, it was probably broken, and he had a shiner.
"I'm so sorry Severus…" Remus started.
"I knew it would end up like this… it just happened sooner than later." Snape said and leaned back his head to stop the blood from running down on his clothes. "I guess it would be better to drop this whole thing before you end up getting a beating from Malfoy, 'cause he will surely find out soon."
"I know, but you will still help me with potions? I got an E on the last one" Remus said and tried to smile. "Come, I'll help you to Madame Pomfrey."
"No, we'll wait, just a while. Black and Potter are probably there by now…" Snape said and rose from the floor. "I can go to her later…" Snape said and headed towards the door that leads to the dungeons.
Remus replayed the whole event in his mind. Why had Sirius been so angry? Had he seen them earlier when Snape had kissed him? Perhaps Snape was right, maybe Sirius wasjealous... Suddenly the idea hit him and he ran after Snape and whispered in his ear. "I have a little plan if you're up for it…"
It had taken about five minutes for Madame Pomfrey to heal Sirius's lip. She had asked no questions. That was one of the things that are great with her.
James followed Sirius as they made for the Great Hall to eat breakfast. James was sniggering to himself.
"What's so fucking amusing?" Sirius finally said after being annoyed by James.
"Oh nothing, just that Moony's relationship is turning into a love triangle, that's all."
"Come again?"
"Yeah, you like Moony, Moony likes Snape and you and Snape hate the guts out of each other." James said leaning against the wall laughing hard at himself.
Sirius blushed and mumbled something. That made James stop laughing. "Oh my God! You do fancy Moony! I just said that 'cause I thought…" James said in a loud voice.
"Pipe down Prongs, you want the whole castle to hear you!" Sirius said hissing.
"But Pads, why didn't you tell me you felt that way?"
"Felt how? Oh James I hate to tell you but you make no sense at all..." Sirius said and started to walk again.
"Alright, you lost me there, so you're telling me that you feel nothing at all?"
"Prongs... the only thing I'm feeling now is that I… hate Snivellus even more than usual!" Sirius said and laughed.
"Hey, don't blame a guy for asking, one can never know with you…" James excused himself with.
"Yeah yeah I get your point… anyway, Moony looked kind of sad back there, you think I should apologise to him?" Sirius with a little concerned look on his face.
"Apologise? Maybe you should if you think it's necessary… But you take my word for it, he's forgotten it soon in a couple of days perhaps…"
Sirius nodded but he had a feeling that Moony wouldn't forgive him that easily. He had hit his boyfriend… "Yuck" he thought to himself. He didn't like the thought of them dating. It was disgusting. Not Moony but Snape… "Yuck."
James opened the door to the Great Hall and they both looked but neither Remus nor Snape was there. They ate their breakfast fast. Sirius wanted to get back into bed. He had a bad headache and thought that if he slept some more it would go away. James told him to go on his own. He had some business of his own he said. Sirius smiled. He knew exactly what 'business' James had. Lily had just walked into the Great Hall and James was heading over to her.
He walked all the way up the winding stairs to the Gryffindor tower. But when he was in the last corridor he heard some voices and he jumped in behind the nearest suit of armour. It was Remus and Snape he had heard and he didn't want to encounter the both of them yet.
"Remus how many times have I told you now? It can't be 'us' anymore. Sirius knows and soon the entire school will know. What do you think people would think of me if they knew I was seeing you? Some of us have a reputation…" Snape said staring coldly at Remus.
Sirius almost stepped out from where he was hiding. Nobody threats Remus like that!
"Oh please, just ignore Sirius, we can still be together! He won't tell anyone!" Remus said looking like he was going to cry.
"You're so naive…" Severus said ignoring the tears that were about to wet Remus's cheeks. "It's over…" Snape said and turned his heel. He walked away and left Remus crying in the hall.
Sirius really wanted to go there and comfort Moony but then he would have to admit that he had been eavesdropping. Instead he decided that he should go now and later he would come back and apologise to Remus. Perhaps give him his blessing and then Remus would tell him that they had broken up and that he had made a huge mistake and was so happy that he had friends like Sirius and James. Yes that was what Sirius was thinking as he waited for Remus to climb into the portrait hole so he could come out from where he was hiding.
What Sirius didn't see was that Remus was smiling as he climbed into their common room. It was all working according to the plan.
Two hours later Sirius was hurrying back to the castle. In his arms he held a boxed wrapped in with a big beautiful ribbon. He ran up the stairs all the way to the tower where he stopped for a moment to catch his breath. He said the password and stepped in. There was no one there. Which wasn't all that strange since it was a Saturday morning. He tried to make no sound as he climbed the stairs to the dorm. He didn't really think about what he was doing as he began to tidy his hair and brushed some snow from his cloak.
"Moony?" He whispered as he closed the door behind him. He took a quick look over at Peter's bed, which was empty.
"Yes, what do you want Pads…" Remus replied from his bed.
Sirius pulled off the cloak and walked over to Remus bed and sat down on the bed leaning back against one of the bedposts. "I wanted to apologise to you, I regret what I did earlier 'cause I had no right to…"
"What is this I hear?" Remus said rolling over on his back so he could see Sirius. "Sirius Black, apologising? Do I have a fever or something? And what's that?" he said pointing at the box Sirius was holding on to.
"This?" Sirius said smiling. "Just a little something I bought for you…" he handed over the box to a very surprised Remus.
"Wow, you didn't have to, really" Remus said and began to pull at the knot to get it open. "Oh my God Sirius" he let out when he lifted off the lid. "Apology accepted!"
"Did you like it?"
"Of course I did! How did you know that this is my favourite chocolate?" Remus said licking his lips.
"I should know stuff like that, you're always drooling whenever we go to the Honeydukes over that chocolate so it's pretty obvious that it is your favourite…"
"Thank you Sirius, I love you so much!" Remus said and pulled Sirius in a hug.
"Are you not going to have one?" Sirius said.
"Great idea…" Remus said and looked hungrily at the box's content.
He looked at every piece of chocolate before he decided to have a mint-flavoured one. He took a very small bite of it first and let out small sighs of pleasure when he let the chocolate melt in his mouth. "This is so good" he moaned. "I could eat a thousand boxes of these and not grow tired of them."
Sirius was swallowing hard as he tried to not look at Remus enjoying himself over the chocolate. Remus was really a chocoholic he decided. Sirius found that he actually enjoyed watching his friend close his eyes and sigh after he had finished his first piece of chocolate.
"They are so good, I think Iought to have another" Remus said sucking the last of the chocolate that was on his index finger.
That last thing made Sirius wish that he wasn't in Remus's bed right now. It made him want to look up the nearest shower to relieve himself from the erection that had suddenly popped up. He was at least glad that he was wearing the loose fitted school robes. Maybe Remus wouldn't notice. Sirius pulled up his knees so it wouldn't be all too visible. Why was he reacting like this to his friend doing something as innocent as eating chocolate?
Sirius tried to think of something unsexy. Something like "Snape humping Professor Diddle, Snape humping Professor Diddle…" He repeated this inner mantra a couple of minutes. That certainly helped. Snape really is a turnoff.
"So Sirius, was there anything else you wanted?"
"Huh?" Sirius replied as he was interrupted from his private thoughts. "Oh nothing really. I just wanted to give you my blessing…"
"There's no need for that" Remus said picking out another piece.
"Why?" Sirius said acting to be surprised.
"He broke up with me…" Remus said and sighed looking a bit hurt.
Sirius felt it would be proper to crawl over to him and just hold him. But he was afraid that he might get a similar reaction to what he had got from Remus licking his fingers. "Oh, I'm so sorry…"
"No you're not," Remus said smiling. "You're not fooling me Sirius Black. I know you."
"Alright I'm kind of glad you came to your senses… Oh you do not, I swear that there are tons of things that you don't know about me…"
"Then do tell me… usually you're like an open book…" Remus said looking like he was trying hard to act serious.
"Nope you'll have to figure it out for yourself. And quit hogging that box to yourself I want to have a taste too!" Sirius said trying to look sad.
"Alright, then close your eyes and open your mouth. We'll see if you can guess the flavour…"
"Are you serious?" Sirius said frowning.
"I'm always serious…"
"Alright then…" Sirius said, leaning back closing his eyes and opening his mouth.
"I bet you can never guess this one" Remus said and put a piece of the chocolate in Sirius mouth.
Sirius sucked on the chocolate analysing the flavour. It tasted awfully good. Now he knew why Remus got crazy from it. It was a faint taste of both vanilla and cherry.
"Ha, you thought I wouldn't be able to tell… its vanilla and cherry!" Sirius exclaimed and opened his eyes. "Admit it; I'm good!"
"I admit it, you're good at this. You wanna try another?" Remus said and poked around in the box trying to find a harder one this time.
"'Course, I'm always up for a challenge…"
"Close your eyes then…" Remus whispered and Sirius complied.
