After about an hour, Harry finally drifted into sleep that was imprinted with visions of Remus walking in on him and Ron having sex. As the sunlight finally broke through a crack in the dusty curtains covering the window, Harry sighed. The stream of light was falling right across his eyes. He sat up, groping the side table for his glasses, and put them on. The room seemed different from the last time he had been here. It seemed...darker.

Harry walked into the hallway, closing the door quietly, then stared at his wristwatch. It was noon. He shook his head and began to walk down the stairs, hoping to find food.

"I just don't believe it." Remus thought aloud. Ever since last night, he had been wondering about the things-moans, mostly- he had heard from Harry's room, and how Harry had been screaming Ron's name.

Just then, Harry walked in, "Oh, good mo-er...afternoon, sir."

Remus smiled, then pushed a tray of eggs and bacon over to harry; "Thought you might get hungry at some point in the day." He smiled and stood, and began to walk out, then turned back, "Oh, and Harry, don't forget, your present is in the attic."

Harry had been sure Lupin was thinking about Harry when he had walked in. He sighed and took small bite of his food, then stood, deciding to go investigate the attic for his gift.

As he crouched in the attic, moving things around to find his gift, he took a step forward-and tripped. He landed on a trunk that had the peeling gold letters making out the name 'Sirius Black.'

"Wow..this must have been Sirius' school trunk!" Harry exclaimed as he pried it open and looked at the items it held. A few old essays, a few notes from his fellow Marauders, a brilliant green cloak with the Slytherin emblem on it. "What in-Oh.." He looked at the name written neatly across the right-breast area. 'Severus Snape."

"Stole his cloak, did you Sirius? How sad." He moved to close the trunk, then saw a photo album, it had been under the cloak. He opened it and began to flip through it, smiling at all the pictures of Sirius, Lupin, and his father. He turned another page-and gasped.

There, in a large black and white photo, were Sirius and Lupin, kissing! He flipped through a few more pages, it was all Sirius and Lupin either hugging, holding hands, or kissing. He closed the photo album and ran out, forgetting about his gift.

Remus sat in his room, thinking about old times, when the door burst open, and Harry stood there, panting.

He thrust the photo album into Remus' hands and took a few deep breaths, "You..and...Sirius...a..COUPLE?" Remus felt like he had been hit in the head by a bludger, "W-what?" He opened the photo album, opening it to a page with him and Sirius kissing under a beautiful crescent moon, wild roses growing around them, a small creek running right by the area where they stood. That was the scene of their first kiss...

"Remus! Where are you dragging me off to?" Sirius moaned, trying to sound annoyed, but the joy he felt was showing in his face. Remus smiled at him, "You'll see." He pulled Sirius through a large group of bushes and into a clearing, all around the edges of the clearing were brilliant red roses, as deep as blood, and running in the middle of the clearing was a small stream, golden fish darting through the water. He pulled Sirius onto a blanket which was spread out right by the creek and sat, patting to spot next to him so Sirius knew to sit.

"Do you like it?" He asked, gazing up at the creamy moon. Sirius smiled, grabbing Remus' hand, "I love it, Remus." The crickets were chirping, and off in the distance an owl was hooting. Remus smiled and laid back on the blanket, Sirius did the same, but he put his arms around Remus's middle, cuddling closely for warmth. "I love you, Remus Lupin." He whispered into the other boy's ear. "I love you too, Sirius." Remus nuzzled his head into Sirius's shoulder, breathing in the clean night air. After an hour or so of this, Remus stood and pulled Sirius up with him, taking Sirius' hands and putting them on his waist, then wrapping his hands around Sirius' neck. The stood like that, forehead-to-forehead, and swayed slightly to music nobody could hear but them. Sirius was in so much bliss he hadn't heard James approach with the camera.

Lupin gazed into Sirius' eyes and smiled, and Sirius moved forward, pressing his lips against the other boy's. Remus felt his stomach flutter, then he felt the sensation of Sirius prying his mouth open with his tongue. He obliged, opening his mouth and allowing Sirius' tongue to explore freely as his own ventured into Sirius' mouth to taste the sweetness that was Sirius...

"Er..Harry...I just.." His voice trailed off as tears welled up in his eyes. This reminiscing had brought back the pain of losing his first, and only, true love. He stood, ignoring Harry's further questions, and swept past him and ran, he ran into a room he had never been in before, and collapsed to the ground, his sobs echoing in the emptiness around him.

"I wonder what that was about.." Harry thought aloud, then he realized what it was. Remus had loved Sirius, and this must have been a painful thing for him.
