Chapter Nineteen

(Nov. 1st, 1976)

Transformations were hard on Remus, they made every bone in his body hurt, and every breath he took very painful. Spending three days locked up in the shrieking shack was never very fun, during the days he sat there thinking about the pending transformation, and during the nights he was some beast that was calmed by his best friends who sat with him during the night.

Now, as the sun rose up the horizon he was thankful that he got to leave the shack with his friends (two of which had to carry him.) They led him to the Hospital Wing, where he was given some pepper-up potion and sent off to spend the rest of the day in his bed. It was early yet, so thankfully his friends that had been so loyal to him and his transformations would get some sleep before classes started.

Although, curiously enough there was a surprise for him in his bed. Kit was laying in it, her body completely hidden except for the orange hair that stuck out from underneath his blankets. A small smile touched his face, and Sirius clapped him on the shoulder slightly. "We think she missed you."

"She's been sleeping in here since Friday, Frank nearly had a heart attack." James explained, crawling into his own bed.

"She really missed me?" Remus was honestly taken aback, he was missed so much that Kit had broken school rules just to sleep in his bed and feel close to him? It touched him in a way that she would probably never know.

"Yeah, it's all she talked about…Remus this…wonder what Remus is doing that…" Sirius mocked, before collapsing down on his bed, not even bothering to take off his mud covered shoes.

"She talked to you guys?"

"Oh yeah, wouldn't shut up…" James stated rather sarcastically. Remus grinned, just slightly before pulling the blankets off and slowly trying to slide into bed next to Kit without waking her up.

Her head lifted slightly, feeling him put one of his arms around her torso. She blinked at him, and he offered a tired smile. "Miss me?" He asked, as they both adjusted themselves to lay in the bed bodies touching each others like perfectly fit puzzle pieces.

"Only a little." She said, yawning slightly and nuzzling his chest. "What time is it?"

"Quarter after six, you have a little more time to sleep." He said, giving a small kiss to her forehead before shutting his eyes.

No matter how exhausted that Remus was, he wanted to stay awake, to feel her against him, feel her heartbeat, feel as she took deep breaths in and out, but try as he may he couldn't stay awake any longer. Even with the pepper-up potion he still needed to rest before he was fully back to good health.

And he honestly couldn't think of a better place to be resting then in a bed, holding onto his love.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kit had felt so beyond comfortable in Remus's arms that she almost didn't wake up when she was being nudged awake by Sirius. He was nudging her with his wand and simply saying "awake" in a deep deep voice, repeating it until she peeked her eyes open. She didn't want to get up, she wanted to stay there being held tightly by Remus…but sadly she had classes to go to.

The only problem was that when she tried to get out of Remus's hold, he held her down. "Do you have to go?" He asked her, his eyes still closed with a slight dreamy expression on his face.

"Well, unlike you I don't get another day off…I have to go take notes and be a good student." She told him, causing Sirius to snicker in the background somewhere.

"Visit me later?"

"Oh sweet Merlin, Moony; you make it sound like you're on your deathbed." Sirius said, pulling Kit out of the comfort of Remus's arms.

"I'll come by during lunch."

"Yes, this chit-chat is lovely Kitten…but you have five minutes to get ready for your first class now." Sirius stated.

"You'd think you could have woken me a little earlier." Kit said, bending down to give Remus a quick hug before heading out towards the girls dorms to change.

"I tried to…think you were a tad to comfortable!"

Kit was lost in thought for most of the morning, mostly thoughts about Remus. So lost in her thoughts, she actually nearly set herself on fire in potions. It was just, so nice to wake up with him next to her, to have his arms around her. She felt so utterly complete and at peace with the world when he held her. As if he had some special power that was to make her feel great and safe. She sped ate during lunch, not paying much attention to the conversations around her, just eating enough of the chicken pasta to make her growling stomach happy.

She had been so concentrated on her thoughts even then, that when she left the Great Hall to head up towards the Gryffindor Tower to visit with Remus for a few minutes before she had to go back to class, she forgot completely about her deal with James. He didn't forget though, in fact she was dragged into that empty class room with a slight yelp, remembering that she was alone and that there were people out there who hated her guts.

When she seen it was just James she sighed with relief.

"You were off in a hurry, did you forget about our deal?" He asked, as he quickly and easily took her arms in his to pull back her sleeves.

"Actually, yes I did…but my mind is a little preoccupied right now."

"Remus right?"

"How'd you know?"

"You have the same look that I get on my face whenever I think about Lily." James said, looking over her arms carefully, turning them over in his hands. "Good, no new cuts…some mugwort would probably fix these old ones up…" He mused, for a moment before helping her tug her sleeves back down. "Okay, you were headed up to the tower right? I have to get my books for the afternoon anyway, I can walk you."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

For Remus, the morning was spent sleeping and resting his tired body. Although, rest didn't come easy he kept thinking about what it was like to hold Kit, to have her small form in his arms…all he wanted to do was hold her and protect her. Now, currently he was hugging a pillow (A futile attempt at pretending it was Kit).

When his bed sagged down on one side, his hazel colored hues opened up. He gave a grin and looked at his watch.

"Lunch over already?" He asked, looking to see Kit sitting on his bed and James wandering around collecting a few books from his side of the room.

"Well, we left kind of early. I…um…couldn't really stop thinking about you." Kit said, a bright red crimson blush creeping up on her face as she spoke. Remus couldn't help but grin, easily moving to tug her down onto the bed with him.

"Get a room!" James said, causing Remus only to laugh and pull Kit closer.

"We are in a room." Remus pointed out, gently brushing orange strands of hair out of Kit's face. It was really funny how much better she made him feel.

James sighed, and headed out the boys room, "I'll be waiting for you in the common room Kitten."

After a few moments of silence Kit was the first one to speak, catching Remus a little off guard. "Do you always feel sick after you visit your grandmother?"

At that, he about blurted out the fact that he was a werewolf. Lying to her, just didn't feel right. "I-um, seeing her just…it takes it's toll on me. We are--close."

"Understandable." She said simply, nuzzling his chest slightly.

"I wish you could stay the rest of the day."

"Only two more classes to go…"

Whatever she was about to say was simply cut off when Remus mustered up the energy to crush his lips against hers.

They spent awhile in that lip-locked embrace, Remus's hands wandering up her back as she moved to sit on his lap while their lips touched. It was however, broken up when Remus felt Kit get off him. When he opened his eyes, in fact he learned that she didn't get off him, rather she was pulled off by James. He was smiling ear to ear, watching as Kit adjusted her shirt just slightly.

"Sorry Moony, but classes don't wait for us to start."

Remus licked his lips and watched her go with a sigh…

He felt so at peace with the world.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

AN: Short chapter, I know…but ooh look at the fluff! The fluff makes up for a short chapter doesn't it? I just wanted to show how at ease both Remus and Kit felt with each other back in the day.

Okay, now I'll go get started on the next chapter, and you all review.

Toodles.
