Melinda- (What a coincidence, you're an anonymous reviewer...) If you don't like slash then why are you here? Why are you in the Sirius/Remus romance section? It seems kind of obvious to me that if you go into the Sirius/Remus section then you're looking for SLASH! Or do you not have anything else to do other than flame people for their writing? And if you're just flaming the pair, then GET OVER IT! I'm not writing this for you! Atleast have the guts to leave your e-mail or log in. Who are you to be calling ME dumb, when you can't even spell it? Nor can you spell :asshole"...smooth one. I figured it would be kind of obvious that it's slash by the summary. -shrugs- SORRY BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE SLASH THEN DON'T READ IT!


A/N: this really is an author's note. Review responses are at the bottom of the page. Also you guys seem to think that Remus was on Siri's back, but he wasn't. LOL...sorry for the confusion. He was wrapped around his front. Enjoy the chappie.

The song is "Running" by No Doubt


Sirius placed Remus down on his bed, looking questioningly at the dog Remus so desperately clutched to. The stuffed dog was laying haphazardly, yet ironically across Remus' chest…right over his heart. As if it were there to protect the fragile flame.

Sirius' stomach twisted in knots when a small voice said 'I'm the one who's supposed to protect him. I'm supposed to be there.', and he realized that he hadn't protected Remus' heart. He'd broke it. The almighty protector, the omnipresent guardian, hadn't done his job, he'd done the exact opposite.

Remus sniffled and rolled over on to his side, holding on to his dog while crushing both the dog and his arm. Sirius sighed and grabbed a hold of Remus' free hand.

"I'm so sorry, Rem. I just wanted you and I both to be happy."

Sirius whispered quietly, tears stinging at his eyes. Sirius sat for the longest time holding Remus' hand, just whispering things to him. His back was aching and he was tired, but he refused to move. He hadn't spent as much time with Remus in the last few days as he wanted to, and he planned on making the time up.

"I love you Re, so much. I didn't mean to hurt you."

He said as laid down beside the werewolf, his back cracking in the process. He threw a protective arm over Remus and then blankets, and soon drifted off to sleep.

Pretty soon Remus snuggled into Sirius' chest, giving up on holding the stuffed dog and holding Sirius instead. And if Remus were to have been awake he probably would have been more cautious. But he wasn't and so maybe he held on a little too tight. And by holding on too tight he woke Sirius up in the process.

Sirius opened sleep filled sapphire eyes, groggily looking around the dark room. James and Peter…weren't upstairs yet? He shrugged to himself mentally and looked at the werewolf he was in bed with. The boy who had a death grip on his arm.

Sirius pried his arm away from the young werewolf after much 'persuasion', which in all actuality was a lot of strength. Remus whimpered in his sleep and Sirius wrapped an arm around him, rubbing his back soothingly and they both drifted into deeper sleep. Sirius, not thinking of the consequences tomorrow would bring.

Remus woke up, the sunlight glaring down on him and into his sleep bleary eyes. He felt a heavy weight on his arm and looked down to find Sirius asleep, his head resting on the stuffed dog, which was resting on Remus' arm. Sirius made a noise that sounded an awful lot like a snore (but it wasn't a snore because Sirius didn't snore) and buried his face into the dog's fur.

For the longest time Remus just laid there, watching Sirius sleep. Noticing the way the sun caught the bluish tint of his hair, making it shinier than normal. Sirius made yet another noise, but this time it sounded more like a whimper than a snore, before snapping his eyes open.

He turned slowly and noticed Remus watching him.

"Remus, I'm sorry I--"

Remus held up a hand, making Sirius stop in the middle of his sentence.

"Don't apologize Sirius. It doesn't matter, you don't have anything to apologize for."

Sirius looked at him like he was crazy. 'I've nothing to apologize for? Has he gone nutters?' But if Remus wanted to forget it, then he would. Or he'd at least act like he'd forget it.

Remus seen Sirius look at him as if he'd grown three more heads and named himself Norbert. Remus personally didn't want to have any reminders of Sirius snogging Bones. So he'd just 'forget' it. But he knew it wouldn't be so easily forgotten. Remus pulled his arm from underneath Sirius and got up, grabbing fresh clothes and a towel. Even though he took a bath last night, he felt as if he could use some of those wonderful relaxation bubbles that were down in the prefects' bathroom. He walked out of the Dormitory without even giving Sirius information about where he was going.

Sirius continued to lay on Remus' bed, inhaling the scent he'd missed for the past couple of days. He didn't bother to move, he was way too comfortable and he liked Remus' bed better than he liked his own. Sirius put his head on Remus' pillow and sank back in relaxation, before worrying about what was going to happen between he and Remus.

Cheryl Bones walked in the Great Hall cautiously, scanning the room for a certain red head. The Hufflepuff practically tip-toed past the Gryffindor table, not wanting to get caught by Evans.

'Damn girl, acts like she knows everything. Who was she to yell at Sirius and I? She was probably just jealous, Remus probably stood her up. It's nothing she doesn't deserve.' She thought snobbishly to herself. Cheryl jumped as someone called out "Bones". She turned to see Lily and Peter sitting a little ways away from her. Her eyes widened and she turned back around sharply, quickly making her way to her table and sitting down.

She put some eggs on her plate and grabbed some pre-buttered toast. Belladonna Jones sat to the left of Cheryl and was talking about the latest gossip. Which, in some strange twist, was about Sirius and Lily arguing yesterday.

"I heard that Evans likes him…" a blonde girl said quietly

"I was right there, Natalie, she doesn't like him…"

"Oh yeah? Well then why were they arguing?" the blonde known as Natalie asked in a condescending tone and the whole group of gossiping girls turned to look at Cheryl.

"Re--"

"Oh honey, you have something hanging out of your nose. HOLY SHITE! IS THAT NOSE HAIR?" Belladonna screeched loudly, in a disgusted voice. That resulted in everyone turning to look at Cheryl's nose hair.

Indeed it was nose hair. Long, grey ringlets had started to sprout out of her nose and they continued growing until they dangled past her chin.

Cheryl cupped her hands under her chin as if her nose was bleeding and she was catching the blood. She gently touched the ringlets and realized they were real. She screeched loudly.

She tried to charm them away, she tried to cut them away with scissors, she even tried to cut them off with a 1st year boy's knife, but each time she would snip them they would grow back, thicker and larger. By the time she finally realized that she, herself would not be getting rid of them anytime soon, the curls already hung down to her elbows and were terribly thick.

She stood up, trying her best to cover the large grey tresses but failing horribly. Cheryl turned towards the Gryffindor table, where a lot of the laughs and guffaws were coming from and saw Lily Evans twirling her wand between her fingers. Cheryl glared at her, looking really mean…and strange. Lily just smiled sweetly and waved to her.

Remus Lupin walked into the Great Hall, planning on eating breakfast with Lily and Peter. He heard loud laughs, coming from his two meal companions. Peter looked as if he were having an asthma attack he was laughing so hard and Lily's face was just as red as her hair, bringing out the few freckles she had on her fair colored skin. Remus on the other hand, couldn't figure out why just about the whole of room was laughing.

And then he saw her. Face red with embarrassment, grey hair sprouting from a rather odd place on her face(…her nose?), glaring at Lily. Remus cracked up. It was too much. She sort of looked like a deformed elephant.

Peter fell out of his seat when he saw the look on Remus' face. It was obviously waaaaaay too funny. Bones glared at Peter too, and then stormed to the doors, literally pushing Remus out of the way. Which in turn made Remus laugh even harder.

Remus helped Peter pick himself up off of the floor.

"Ohh Lily, that was too good!" Peter wheezed, searching for his cup of pumpkin juice.

"That was your handiwork?" Remus asked as soon as he sobered up a bit.

Lily nodded with an evil smile on her face.

"It sure was."

"Lily Evans, I'm sure you could compete with the best." Another voice said.

Lily spun around to see James smiling at her. She blushed and turned around allowing her hair to dangle in front of her face, creating a veil of secrecy.

Remus snorted at the obvious scent that was wafting off of Lily. He made up a small song in his head. 'Lily likes James, Lily likes James,' he was also doing a little mental dance while singing and finished with'Liiiiiiiiily Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames'
Lily glanced up at Remus, and as if knowing his thoughts, kicked him in shin.

"OU-ch" he had started to scream, but realized it didn't really hurt that bad and lowered his voice.

Lily smiled at him cutesy and started up a conversation with James. After James, Remus, Lily, and Peter all finished breakfast, Lily stood up brushing off the front of her shirt.

"Sorry guys but I've got to go study for Transfiguration."

The three boys all chorused "See you later Lily." as she was walking out of the Great Hall. As she was walking out, a lazy sod named Sirius Black finally made his way to the table to eat breakfast at around noon.
