Chapter 40 – A reminder in a touch
I can see you grinning Harry, yes your mother was the one that made Bellatrix Lestrange's nose slightly crooked. That's where you get your temper from really, I mean James could look fierce when he was angry but it was –nothing- compared to your mother's 'death glare' as Sirius christened it.
You'll have to excuse me for that one then, that's why I always seem slightly amused when you're yelling. It's not because I think you look funny it's just that you look just like your mother when you do it...
...And that can be a terrifying image.
So anyway your parents and most of Gryffindor defended us, especially during such a trying time. I was on tenterhooks and Sirius seemed just that little bit thrown, as he'd never been put in such a situation before.
But personally I think he did rather well considering everything.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
(1976)
The Gryffindors seemed to move in large groups now, scowling as a Slytherin walked past or simply keeping an eye on the snake student until they passed.
The Slytherins themselves seemed to be wary, shooting scathing looks towards the groups but otherwise holding their tongue. Bellatrix especially seemed to be itching to avenge herself but every time Lily was near her the red head would simply narrow her intense green eyes in warning...James swore he heard her growl once.
"That's our TigerLily." He had said as he slung an arm over her shoulder as they girl laughed, pushing his arm off. The nickname stuck for moments of teasing.
Remus however seemed to be looking paler more then usual. He was receiving the daily updates from his mother but still it seemed his father had not awoken after 4 days. Sirius would try to lighten his heart as best he could but the smile Remus offered him never seemed to reach his eyes.
They were currently led on Sirius's bed, Remus curled up against him but unmoving as the animagi stared at the ceiling blankly. He wanted so much to say the right thing, the right words that would once again make his lover laugh and smile. His heart was aching at the mere absence of that innocent grin and sighing he closed his eyes, sinking his head further into the pillow.
"Sirius?"
He opened his eyes and found Remus's face inches form his own, surprised he hadn't felt the removal of the weight on his chest.
"Yes?" He asked quietly as he reached up to stroke away some hair from the werewolf's face, his little touches becoming common as a way to remind the tawny boy he was still here.
"I know I haven't been much fun to be around lately but...you're not going to go away...are you?" Remus asked in a quiet voice that broke Sirius's heart.
"You fool, Of course I'm not going anywhere!" He said sitting up and cupping his mate's cheek as he spoke. The amber eyes drifted closed as he leant into the hand and Sirius was a little surprised to find a slight tremor travelling through the werewolf's body.
"Remus, please love, what's wrong?" He asked and the tawny boy leant into his boyfriend, arms slipping around the animagi's slender waist as he rested his forehead against Sirius's.
"I want to be with you right now." Remus whispered and Sirius stroked his knuckles down a pale cheek.
"I am with you Remus."
"No I mean, Closer...We haven't made love in such a long time." He whispered and as understanding made sense Sirius nodded before leaning in.
He kissed Remus's forehead then placed one on his nose, his cheeks, his eyelids before placing a gentle one on his lips, eager lips greeting his in return. He moved so that he had Remus in his arms and lowered him backwards onto the bed gently as he trailed his kisses down the elegant neck, carefully unbuttoning the werewolf's Oxford shirt.
"...And I said..." Peter stopped talking as he opened the door to the dormitories and saw the two boys on the bed. Neither jumped away in embarrassment nor apologised, instead Remus remaining led down with his eyes shut as Sirius looked up at Peter and James who was just behind the boy.
"Leave." He commanded quietly but fiercely and James nodded as he pulled Peter away from the door, sensing the desperate need from Remus in the air.
Sirius looked back down at the man lying under him and found the werewolf staring at him again, his eyes pleading. Sirius nodded again before he began to unbutton his own shirt, throwing it away from him as Remus shrugged off his own.
He lay down again over his boyfriend, bare chest touching bare chest and the animagi began to kiss a path down the tawny boy's chest, his abdomen and placing a soothing kiss on each hip bone protruding over the waist line of the boy's trousers.
He felt Remus's fingers lace into his hair as the other boy bent his head back, a sort of sob crossed with a moan escaping him in the form of Sirius's name. Sirius whispered his name in return.
"You're not alone in this." He whispered as he climbed back up his lover's body. "You're not alone, I'm here for you."
Remus's eyes scrunched closed tighter causing one tear to catch just at the corner of his eye, resting there before he opened his eyes again making it trail down the side of his face into the light brown hair making a halo around his head on the bed.
"This time it'll be alright, this time your father will make it but I can't promise in the future...but even then I'll still be with you."
Remus let out another sobbing moan and after entwining his fingers in the dark hair at the back of Sirius's head he pulled the boy into a crushing kiss, needy and loving.
"I'll be there too." He returned before he pulled Sirius into another kiss.
Sirius's fingers tickled down to the button on Remus's trousers, flicking it through the little slit that held it together and slowly he pushed the final materials of clothing off of the smaller male. He stood then from the bed and as Remus watched him he pulled off his own clothing carefully before moving back to the bed to Remus who was now sitting up.
The werewolf's head dipped back as Sirius kissed the nape of his neck, nuzzling the short hairs back there under his longer thicker hair. Remus kissed the shoulder closest to his lips and buried his nose into the hollow of the animagi's neck as Sirius worshipped his body with gentle butterfly kisses.
"Lie back." Sirius commanded softly and Remus did so, his head resting back on the pillows. The animagus then silently closed the curtains around them before he crawled over his lover, lying down so skin touched all the way down their body from their chests, to their thighs and to their entangled feet.
They kissed then deeply; fingers twined in one another's hair as they kissed in such a way that their teeth occasional clashed, not that they cared. Sirius wanted to comfort Remus in any way possible and if this was how he would be able to show his love more so, then so be it.
"Love you, never doubt that." He whispered huskily into the werewolf's ear as he panted a little as his body heated up, tingles running up his spine as the sound of Remus's laboured breath drifted over him.
"I won't and I love you too." The tawny haired boy returned a small flicker of a smile coming to his face. It was small...but it was a real one and Sirius found a tiny smile flicker to his own.
After a quick break for preparation Sirius was then once again resting between the werewolf's legs as they kissed. Keeping his lips against the one's ravishing him he reached down between their now heated bodies and after guiding himself he slipped into his lover.
Remus gave a little whimper but kept his lips on Sirius's and he began to rock with his boyfriend who was tentatively moving within him. Pressure was building up at the back of his spine and he let his head fall back as he linked his arms up around Sirius's neck. The animagus was panting lightly now from the gradually getting more frantic movements and he closed his eyes, head falling forward as he thrust.
This was what the werewolf had needed, this closeness and this completion. He locked his eyes onto the sapphire ones above him as they were furrowed slightly in concentration and he kept them there, the sensation intensifying when he could watch the emotions in his mate's eyes.
Soon the pressure was too much and he cried out as he closed his eyes, an explosion of white stars dancing before him and he heard as Sirius called his name also.
Sirius's arms buckled before giving out entirely, collapsing exhausted against his lover as the two boys' chests heaved in a desperate attempt to catch their breath. Damp skin stuck slightly together as they rested, Sirius's long raven hair splayed out across Remus's creamy chest in striking contrast and the only sound in the room was their breathing.
The animagi moved up then so he had pulled away from the werewolf, head resting beside Remus's on the pillow and the two lay together with their foreheads pressed close. Comfort was exchanged merely through a look rather then words and after a few minutes of silence they let their eyes drift closed.
"Thank you." Remus whispered into the darkness.
Strong arms pulled him into a tighter embrace in answer.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Remus had the sheets wrapped around his body tightly by time he had awakened after their intimate moment. His arms were stretched out in front of him under the pillow and only one bent knee was visible as it poked out from the sheets that were wrapped up to his chest.
He turned his head to find the other side of the bed empty and sitting up he looked around for his boyfriend.
"Sirius?" He called, voice cracking from lack of use during sleep.
"Right here love." He turned around to look behind him and found Sirius sitting on the windowsill, trousers back on but still topless. His sweat dampened hair hung in his eyes as he sat hands clasped together, arms resting on knees and he was sat facing the tawny haired boy.
"What're you doing?" Remus asked as he shuffled over to the side of the bed and stood, moving towards the longhaired teen making the other boy lean back. The werewolf then stood between Sirius's thighs and after a moment of looking up at Remus the animagus leant his head against Remus's stomach, arms encircling the slender waist.
Remus reached down to toy with the black strands as he hugged the boy's head to him gently.
"I don't know what I can do Remus." Sirius confessed shakily and then looked up at the glassy look in Remus's eyes.
"I want to make everything ok for you but I don't know what's going to happen."
Remus smiled down at him then before he knelt, reaching up and cupping a cheek so he could stroke it with his thumb.
"You're already doing it Padfoot. I just need you here, no miracles."
Sirius smiled and he pulled Remus up again to hold him against him, leaning his back against the cold glass of the window as the werewolf got comfortable.
They sat like that for what felt like hours, unmoving except for Sirius's hand continuously stroking down the length of Remus's hair in a soothing manner. The sky outside dimmed into light red, pink tinted clouds drifting slowly past as the two watched them silently and listened to faded laughter as students moved around outside. They watched as the Whomping Willow in the distance swayed gently with the light breeze and ripples tickled over the lake surface.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
They all sat around the little coffee table in the common room, parchments of homework lying everywhere and textbooks scattered around them as they checked up their answers.
"I really don't think that transfiguring a ugly girl into a supermodel is morally correct, do you Peter?" Lily said as she looked at the squat boy, fiery eyebrow raised as her arms were crossed over her chest.
Remus looked up to chuckle at the exchange, Sirius smiling at him as he heard a proper laugh from his lover. James grinned at Peter and nodded behind Lily's back but then when the girl turned around he shook his head with a stern look at Peter. Sirius laughed at that.
"Do –you- agree with him James?" Lily said and instantly all three of the other Marauders were shaking their head at James to indicate what the right answer was. James however looked at Lily right in the eyes.
"Lily my dear, I would never need to transfigure an ugly girl into a gorgeous one because the one I like is a stunner and one of a kind."
Lily flushed happily as she looked down into her lap shyly, Sirius grinning at his best mate mouthing 'nice save' and Remus smirked at the messy haired boy giving him a thumbs up.
They continued in that vein for a while until their was a commotion from the portrait entrance and a moment later Professor McGonagoll had come sweeping into the room heading right for the Marauders.
Remus's heart thudded painfully in fear as he looked up at the witch and Sirius helped him stand.
"Mr Lupin, Mr Black if you would both like to come with me please." The Professor said in a shaky voice and nodding Remus made to follow her, looking back at Sirius who smiled kindly and squeezed his hand to show he was still there.
The three of them walked quickly back towards the Headmaster's office, almost running and then they were up the stairs in the busy room. Dumbledore smiled kindly at the pair as they came through and stopped before the Headmaster.
"Mr Lupin, you and Sirius Black are allowed leave of absence on the grounds that your father has finally awakened...Good luck."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
AN: Would that be considered a cliffy? If so, I do apologise. But I still need time to decide whether to go by popular opinion or go with reality.
Thanks to:
Kynny: Aye, Ethan Lupin is based around my mother in personality so it wasn't hard to write the scene. My mother had to go into hospital as her iron count dropped drastically and she became awfully weak and if it dropped even slightly more she had the risk of heart attack. Thankfully she's ok now, as tall and proud as ever but that was a terrifying sight! And I love Luna too, she's just so weird lol!
Legolas19: Lol that I did!
Marble: Aye I pictured her with an evil temper too, probably a red head thing lol! And I like rain, I don't like when it mats my hair but I like the way it runs down your nose, it tickles lol!
Malfoyscutie: Why thank you!
Adhara1: Aye I liked making ALL the Gryffindors get in there, they are so cool! I would have to write one for the new Gryffindors too, I would love to see lovely Dean Thomas take someone down!
Sexy Pancake: Ah who didn't love the Lily scuffle.
Lilastar: Jeez voting I'll be doing that next year...scary thought. I don't even LIKE the Government, they all fuck up one way or another but as long as Blair goes I don't care! Didn't McGonagoll say something like 'Your house will be like your family' in book one? Well I've played on that lol!
Dark Dragon Fire Demon: Lmao, so sorry. If it helps I never actually intended this to reach chapter 40, I thought I would've drawn it to a close ages ago but as it is I still have a fair while to go (whew). And (blushes) really, I'm not that good. This is just something fun for me in the end though lol! And hey take a look at my one shot 'How does it feel', that only has like 8 reviews. This just has more because it's been going for ages! Lol!
Sidhelady: The shorter thing is an optical allusion, when I used to put the shout outs at the top it made the chapter seem longer but now I put it at the bottom then it's noticeable how short the chapters are. All chapters have been 5-6 pages long except on special occasions when you get 7 page chapters (this is of course due to using size 9 font 'Verdana' which is rather small). And I'm sorry but Lily just HAD to jump Bellatrix, especially for the evil cow's murder in book five. Unfortunately they've stopped the Crow series on TV but I was talking about the film with Brandon Lee who may I add would've made an amazing Sirius Black! I've got the Graphic Novel too. It has to be one of the most brilliant love stories ever. And Queer as Folk ain't on either but I highly doubt I could explain that one away lol!
Callista Silverheart: Lily fight, everyone loved that (and look up there, smutty scene lol)! "Chuffed; To feel proud of one's self" hehe!
Zowie-Bowie: Aw thanks glad you like it. That'll be two awards I have now.
Avain: I always imagine Harry to take after Lily so she HAD to be able to fight. And aye, if I were a Gryffy then I would've jumped straight on the nearest Slytherin! As for the writing compliments, wow you flatter me really! I think the only thing I've written outside of fanfiction is a monologue of one of my characters (Yes, Cara Faolan is not alone. My room is full of sketches of characters, places and storyboards). To give you a summary of it: Amber Fallows is a teenage werewolf and the monologue is her sat on a tube train as she thinks about society and her condition. Sounds short but it's only a script for me to us in illustration. I plan to make her one of my major characters so IF I ever make it big then she'll be the one I use...and Cara too lol (Outside of Fanfiction Cara is Amber's half brother).
Haunted-Shadows: I can never bring myself to make Sirius camp, he's what I like to call 'Straight-gay guy', the opposite to 'Gay-straight guy'!
Elrohir Lover: Ah good to hear its back on the good tracks again! Wicca is fine but I hate not having more time for it (bloody work) and the love life is at a stand still but I'm not too bothered by that, I have a major career to try and get yet! And you are such a tease LMAO!
Passionflower: Chocolate Muffins rule! And try not to hurt yourself, I tend to find sharp wit and a cocked eyebrow can do wonders in an argument. And I can beat your bank statement...guess who I got a letter from...That's right, sitting proud on my table is a latter from JK Rowling!
Yapi-is-gay-13: Lmao, glad you liked it!
Venilia: Most girls can punch and I'll never know why some resort to slaps! A punch is much more efficient! And I'm still debating on the Ethan thing, I was trying to go for realistic but a lot of you seem to want him to live (not that I don't), so I'll get back to you on that one.
Obviously Oblivious: Love, Love, Love
There's nothing that you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can't sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Hp-Azn: Lmao good to hear you liked it and hope you enjoy FC too!
Kitarin: LMAO Ah that was a good line, thank you! And for the full enjoyment of you all (and as a semi-apology to making you all suffer angst) Lily was more then happy to land that bitch one! I should make those four double date.
PippinsmyHobbit: LMAO Lily Evans IS Trinity LMAO (Black coat billowing in the wind)! It was sweet that moment I have to admit and I'm glad I put it in. And wow, that is a bad reaction to Wicca, and only LEARNING at that. I guess I'm just lucky then, my friend's mum (who is brilliant) was asking me about it and being really cheerful...it was nice to not only have acceptance from my friend but her family too!
Happo: LMAO ah look at all you guys helping one another romantically! It's sweet. And I guess FC going cute is my fluffy saviour after writing angst lol.
GryffRavHuffSlythendor: Thanks, I like taking that transformation slowly (they don't date until seventh year remember).
Happy Cabbage: LMAO Thanks!
Mirale nic Draco: Wow in one sitting, you must be tired! I can imagine that some answers seem strange seeing as I'll directly answer the question and if no one else knows it then they're lost. And OMG at that Vicar, I can up your Pastor too! When I was five (I wasn't even Wiccan then!) I was trick- or-treating for Halloween and knocked on this door. I don't know the woman's name but she had green wellies on so I remember her as Mrs Green Wellies. Anyway, I was dressed as a witch and I said the 'Trick-or-treat' bit and then she goes off on one telling me "Jesus is very angry with me and I will be going to Hell"...I was FIVE YEARS OLD LMAO! You just don't SAY that to a kid, Christian or not!!!
White-Winged Sidhe: You have a twin? Cool! Oh and that'll be £35 pounds please.
Taykayo: I know your pain, no one can say my name Callie right (Pronounced Cal-e, Callie!). And that Priest was well out of order! Even if you were going against HIS believes (I like the sound of your Sirius, he sounds lovely) he had no right to call you a Gay Fag! I hope you didn't take his words to heart, fuck him! And in front of your 7 year old sister as well. Surely that goes against his 'beliefs' as well? But to good news, Congrats on getting your Sirius! I hope you're very happy together.

AN: Would that be considered a cliffy? If so, I do apologise. But I still need time to decide whether to go by popular opinion or go with reality.
Thanks to:
Kynny: Aye, Ethan Lupin is based around my mother in personality so it wasn't hard to write the scene. My mother had to go into hospital as her iron count dropped drastically and she became awfully weak and if it dropped even slightly more she had the risk of heart attack. Thankfully she's ok now, as tall and proud as ever but that was a terrifying sight! And I love Luna too, she's just so weird lol!
Legolas19: Lol that I did!
Marble: Aye I pictured her with an evil temper too, probably a red head thing lol! And I like rain, I don't like when it mats my hair but I like the way it runs down your nose, it tickles lol!
Malfoyscutie: Why thank you!
Adhara1: Aye I liked making ALL the Gryffindors get in there, they are so cool! I would have to write one for the new Gryffindors too, I would love to see lovely Dean Thomas take someone down!
Sexy Pancake: Ah who didn't love the Lily scuffle.
Lilastar: Jeez voting I'll be doing that next year...scary thought. I don't even LIKE the Government, they all fuck up one way or another but as long as Blair goes I don't care! Didn't McGonagoll say something like 'Your house will be like your family' in book one? Well I've played on that lol!
Dark Dragon Fire Demon: Lmao, so sorry. If it helps I never actually intended this to reach chapter 40, I thought I would've drawn it to a close ages ago but as it is I still have a fair while to go (whew). And (blushes) really, I'm not that good. This is just something fun for me in the end though lol! And hey take a look at my one shot 'How does it feel', that only has like 8 reviews. This just has more because it's been going for ages! Lol!
Sidhelady: The shorter thing is an optical allusion, when I used to put the shout outs at the top it made the chapter seem longer but now I put it at the bottom then it's noticeable how short the chapters are. All chapters have been 5-6 pages long except on special occasions when you get 7 page chapters (this is of course due to using size 9 font 'Verdana' which is rather small). And I'm sorry but Lily just HAD to jump Bellatrix, especially for the evil cow's murder in book five. Unfortunately they've stopped the Crow series on TV but I was talking about the film with Brandon Lee who may I add would've made an amazing Sirius Black! I've got the Graphic Novel too. It has to be one of the most brilliant love stories ever. And Queer as Folk ain't on either but I highly doubt I could explain that one away lol!
Callista Silverheart: Lily fight, everyone loved that (and look up there, smutty scene lol)! "Chuffed; To feel proud of one's self" hehe!
Zowie-Bowie: Aw thanks glad you like it. That'll be two awards I have now.
Avain: I always imagine Harry to take after Lily so she HAD to be able to fight. And aye, if I were a Gryffy then I would've jumped straight on the nearest Slytherin! As for the writing compliments, wow you flatter me really! I think the only thing I've written outside of fanfiction is a monologue of one of my characters (Yes, Cara Faolan is not alone. My room is full of sketches of characters, places and storyboards). To give you a summary of it: Amber Fallows is a teenage werewolf and the monologue is her sat on a tube train as she thinks about society and her condition. Sounds short but it's only a script for me to us in illustration. I plan to make her one of my major characters so IF I ever make it big then she'll be the one I use...and Cara too lol (Outside of Fanfiction Cara is Amber's half brother).
Haunted-Shadows: I can never bring myself to make Sirius camp, he's what I like to call 'Straight-gay guy', the opposite to 'Gay-straight guy'!
Elrohir Lover: Ah good to hear its back on the good tracks again! Wicca is fine but I hate not having more time for it (bloody work) and the love life is at a stand still but I'm not too bothered by that, I have a major career to try and get yet! And you are such a tease LMAO!
Passionflower: Chocolate Muffins rule! And try not to hurt yourself, I tend to find sharp wit and a cocked eyebrow can do wonders in an argument. And I can beat your bank statement...guess who I got a letter from...That's right, sitting proud on my table is a latter from JK Rowling!
Yapi-is-gay-13: Lmao, glad you liked it!
Venilia: Most girls can punch and I'll never know why some resort to slaps! A punch is much more efficient! And I'm still debating on the Ethan thing, I was trying to go for realistic but a lot of you seem to want him to live (not that I don't), so I'll get back to you on that one.
Obviously Oblivious: Love, Love, Love
There's nothing that you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can't sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Hp-Azn: Lmao good to hear you liked it and hope you enjoy FC too!
Kitarin: LMAO Ah that was a good line, thank you! And for the full enjoyment of you all (and as a semi-apology to making you all suffer angst) Lily was more then happy to land that bitch one! I should make those four double date.
PippinsmyHobbit: LMAO Lily Evans IS Trinity LMAO (Black coat billowing in the wind)! It was sweet that moment I have to admit and I'm glad I put it in. And wow, that is a bad reaction to Wicca, and only LEARNING at that. I guess I'm just lucky then, my friend's mum (who is brilliant) was asking me about it and being really cheerful...it was nice to not only have acceptance from my friend but her family too!
Happo: LMAO ah look at all you guys helping one another romantically! It's sweet. And I guess FC going cute is my fluffy saviour after writing angst lol.
GryffRavHuffSlythendor: Thanks, I like taking that transformation slowly (they don't date until seventh year remember).
Happy Cabbage: LMAO Thanks!
Mirale nic Draco: Wow in one sitting, you must be tired! I can imagine that some answers seem strange seeing as I'll directly answer the question and if no one else knows it then they're lost. And OMG at that Vicar, I can up your Pastor too! When I was five (I wasn't even Wiccan then!) I was trick- or-treating for Halloween and knocked on this door. I don't know the woman's name but she had green wellies on so I remember her as Mrs Green Wellies. Anyway, I was dressed as a witch and I said the 'Trick-or-treat' bit and then she goes off on one telling me "Jesus is very angry with me and I will be going to Hell"...I was FIVE YEARS OLD LMAO! You just don't SAY that to a kid, Christian or not!!!
White-Winged Sidhe: You have a twin? Cool! Oh and that'll be £35 pounds please.
Taykayo: I know your pain, no one can say my name Callie right (Pronounced Cal-e, Callie!). And that Priest was well out of order! Even if you were going against HIS believes (I like the sound of your Sirius, he sounds lovely) he had no right to call you a Gay Fag! I hope you didn't take his words to heart, fuck him! And in front of your 7 year old sister as well. Surely that goes against his 'beliefs' as well? But to good news, Congrats on getting your Sirius! I hope you're very happy together.
