hi you wonderful guys who have been waiting for this chapter for so long, work is a really bad excuse but I have been so exhausted after work so I have hardly found time to do anything fun lately. But now, finally, in my last two weeks I 'm down to working 20 hours a week so I will have a lot more time to update this fic : D which is really good 'cause I'm beginning to like it myself too. And another reason that I've kept you waiting was that I wasn't sure that I was going to continue writing fics at all, have been told by some reviewers that my grammar is horrible but hey even the Goddess Rowling has grammar errors, we're all just human after all and my mother tongue is Swedish so English grammar is not my strongest side. And someone else thought that all my dialogue sounded stiffy and fake :(( Anyways, I have had so many of you saying so many nice beautiful things that I decided to not care if I have small grammar errors...nor that my language is stiffy and fake
I hope you enjoy reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!

"Oh James" Remus thought to himself while he was reading, spellchecking and correcting a greater deal of James's essay. "Fluxweed is used in Polyjucie potions, not as an antidote for acne James." Remus said and laughed at his friend who didn't even notice that he was being laughed at since he was busy with staring at the huge grandfather clock that was squeezed in between two bookshelves.
"Earth to James, anybody home?" Remus said and waved his hand in front of James's eyes.
"Erm what was it you said about polyjucie potions?" James said managing with great effort to tare his gaze away from the clock.
"Never mind, I corrected it for you... and will you please stop staring at the clock? Just go and get Lily now, I'll wake Sirius up in twenty minutes or so... I'll just finish correcting your essay."
"Thank you thank you thank you!" James said and flew up from the chair he was sitting in like it was on fire. "You're my angel you know that?" he said and messed up Remus's hair before he headed for the portrait-hole and disappeared.
Remus yawned wide and corrected another sentence that James had gotten as wrong as it could get. James mind had most probably been somewhere else when he wrote this. After another twenty minutes of salvaging James grade in Herbology Remus took a last look at his masterpiece and put the scroll of parchment away, he would give it to James at dinner. He closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath. Now he had to wake up Sirius and hope that some particular bodypart wouldn't wake up to in the process. He looked up at the ceiling hoping that someone up there had heard his silent prayer. He swallowed hard and took the first trembling stairs towards the steps. He had a pretty good hunch that this was one of Sirius's setups.
"What if heis lying naked in bed?" he thought and tried to not picture Sirius in the nude. He had seen Sirius naked several times before but he never dared to do anything more than take a quick peek. It wouldn't be so bad if Sirius was naked after all, now with Sirius being like this he could probably look as thoroughly as he would want to. The only problem was that his erection would definitely give away that he wasn't exactly thinking about Quidditch. The last two steps were almost impossible to take; his legs felt like they were made of rock and had somehow attached themselves to the stairs and made it impossible for him to move. He took a last deep breath, reached for the door, opened it and walked in.
Sirius was lying in his bed still feeling a bit shaky from his dream. He had been hoping that James would send Remus to come and get him before dinner. His intention had been to lure Remus close enough to the bed while he pretended to sleep so he could drag Remus into bed with him. And after that he hadn't really thought about what he would do but he was sure that he would figure something out once they were in the scenario he had planned. He had never planned to really fall asleep but he had. His dream had been so real and vivid that he thought he hadn't dreamt at all. In his dream he was walking hand in hand with Remus in Hogsmeade, drinking tea with him at Madam Puddifoot's, snogging him in the back of the Three Broomsticks. He had very suddenly and abruptly woken up though when he in the dream was about to tell Remus how much he loved him.
He had trembled slightly when he had woken up. Of course Remus had visited his dreams sometimes but never in a romantic way. He massaged his temples slowly and tried to calm down. It was just a dream after all. And soon the real Remus would be coming up the stairs if James had been lazy enough to send Remus to wake him. The real Remus would never be his boyfriend. He highly doubted that Remus got off on dudes. He had always believed and still believed that Remus didn't like it at all when Sirius wanted to play his game. That when Remus tried to get away it was his way of saying: not interested. Remus blushing Sirius had interpreted as Remus not wanting other people to start believing stuf about him. Even though Sirius thought that Remus didn't like it he kept playing his game and would never stop either. It was too much fun for him to stop and besides... it was fun to have his best friend to cuddle with when he wanted to. Sirius had never cuddled with his previous boy- and girlfriends. All his relationships so far had been just for fun, he hadn't had a single serious relationship yet. No one had really tickled his fancy. Not yet.
He had described the perfect partner for James once, maybe a month or so earlier. The perfect partner he had described as: loyal, funny, a prankster as himself, smart, curious, deep, trustworthy... And that was where he had stopped. In his horror he had discovered that he had just described his best friend Remus as the perfect partner. Sirius had almost been sure that James had figured that out too but James had never said anything about it and hadn't mentioned it to him later, which Sirius was thankful for. Any sort of romantic feelings towards a best friend was wrong if you asked Sirius. A friendship would never be the same after a romantic relationship. Never. So Sirius did what was the right thing to do according to him. The right thing meant that he lied and denied and tried to push any feelings or thought that didn't belong there out of his mind. He had been pretty successful with all the denying so far. But the dream he had just had had made him doubtful that the denying was working as good as he had hoped.
Sirius suddenly ended with his contemplating. He had heard footsteps outside the door so he turned around on his side so he was facing away from the door. "Now..." he thought with a sly smile on his lips, "Remus will get a major surprise if he dares to come close enough..."
Remus closed the door slowly behind him as he entered the room. He whispered Sirius name hoping for a reaction. Just as he thought, no reaction at all. Sirius was just waiting for him to come close enough to bed. "Sirius?" he whispered again a bit louder this time. He had stopped several paces from Sirius's bed where he was supposedly sleeping. "Sirius?" he said again in his normal voice. But there was still no response so he moved closer to the bed and stopped at the foot end of the large four-poster bed. "Sirius!" he shouted. "I know you're not sleeping..." He studied the lump in the bed also known as Sirius. Sirius didn't even move. Now what was it James had said? Enjoy this as much as you can or something. Enjoy this as much as you can, that was what Remus what planning on trying, and if he enjoyed so much that it was quite obvious just how much he enjoyed it, he would try James's other advice. Think of Snape.
"Sirius?" he said again when he stood some inches away from the edge of the bed. Sirius wasn't moving a muscle. Maybe he actually was sleeping after all? "Sirius?" he tried again moving closer. He shouldn't have done that.
Sirius hand came out of nowhere with the speed of light and grabbed Remus's robes and pulled him down on top of him where he was lying. Sirius, with his legs strong after six years of Quidditch practice, rolled over with Remus on top of him and pinned Remus to the bed straddling him. Remus looked utterly horrified. He certainly was not on top of the situation, literally and metaphorically speaking. And he didn't like feeling this helpless. Sirius had even managed to somehow pin down his hands too.
"Hi love, thought you never would come and join me in bed." Sirius whispered in a voice that made Remus want to jump out of his robes.
"Erm, I, Sirius, dinner..." was all that came out of Remus's mouth.
"Dinner can wait, I'm perfectly sure that James will hold a spot for us at the table. And you really don't need to bother with speaking moony..." Sirius way of whispering Moony caused Remus to squirm beneath him, "...if you want me to stop you just tell me that you love me, then I'll win... it's as simple as that..."
Remus was drawing his breath faster and harder, it felt hard to breathe lying trapped between Sirius's thighs. He blushed and cursed silently when he felt a very familiar heat in his groin. Hopefully Sirius hadn't noticed. But today wasn't one of his lucky days.
"Mr. Moony, I believe that we are enjoying this situation after all if I'm not mistaken." Sirius said and laughed. "Shall we make it even more enjoyable?" Sirius purred and started to unbutton Remus's shirt.
Remus tried to raise himself on his elbows and escape Sirius's grip but it was a hopeless struggle. He closed his eyes and tried to picture a naked Snivellus hoping that he would get in control of the situation again. His eyes flew open and the picture of Snape faded when he felt that Sirius was tugging at his belt. Remus made a last effort to get out of bed. With all his force, which wasn't that much, he tried to roll out of bed. Sirius wasn't prepared for Remus's roll and Remus's move resulted in both of them landing hard on the floor. Remus hastily got to his feet, adjusted his belt and buttoned his shirt. He slightly regretted that he hadn't let Sirius continue what he was about to do, but then again it wouldn't feel right if Sirius didn't mean it.
"What I was trying to say earlier..." Remus said and adjusted his tie. "...was that I came up here to wake you up before dinner. Are you coming or not?" he finished and cleared his throat.
Sirius was still lying on the floor looking rather amused. He got up on his feet using the bed as a support. "You made yourself out of this one, but I promise you... I'm not through with you yet..." he said and licked his lips.
"Where's Sirius and Remus?" Peter said looking up at James and Lily. Lily had actually agreed to sit with James on the condition that they were just friends.
"You wouldn't believe me..." James said and snickered to himself.
"Aren't that them?" Lily said and pointed at the entrance to the Great Hall. "Am I mistaking or is Sirius holding Remus's hand?" she said and squinted her eyes.
"Merlin's beard..." Peter whispered and dropped his spoon.
Lily hadn't been mistaken at all; Sirius was in fact holding Remus's hand.
"Please Sirius... can't you let go of my hand?" Remus pleaded. "Everyone is staring at us." That last statement was true. Almost everyone had turned their heads to stare. Sirius seemed to enjoy the attention, Remus on the other hand wanted to disappear through the floor. Severus Snape and some other Slytherins, including Malfoy, were also staring at them.
"Please Sirius?" he tried again desperately.
"I'm sorry, I can't let go of your hand. I'm proud to be your boyfriend." Sirius said putting some weight on the last word boyfriend so the Hufflepuff girls they just had past heard what he was saying.
"Boyfriend? When did you become my boyfriend?" Remus hissed between his teeth hoping that Sirius hadn't planned to announce anything more about their 'relationship'.
"I just made that up dear Moony, and I'm going to keep on doing things like this until I win." Sirius said actually whispering this time. "Prongs has held a spot for us, how nice of him." Sirius continued in his normal voice dragging Remus towards were James, Lily and Peter were sitting.
"What's up Peter you look like you have seen a ghost?" Sirius said laughing and poured up a glass of pumpkin juice for himself and for Remus.
James looked over at his two best friends. Sirius was really trying his best to get under Remus's skin. James wondered what had been going on in the dorm after he had sent Remus up to wake up Sirius. He was sure that he wasn't going to have to ask, Sirius would probably tell him later after dinner. By the looks of it, Sirius dragging Remus around in the Great Hall Sirius hadn't won yet. Hopefully enough Remus had taken his advice to enjoy it as much as he can.
"Prongs..." Remus said and handed back James's essay. "...you really owe me this time I tell you..." he said and put up with a smile.
Alrighty, now you know what to do to make me happy, and I promise that I will update sooner this time. Tell me what you think: Liked? Loved? Hated? Anything else?
