Righto... Onwards and Upwards!

The next day, rain was pouring down; and the sky was gloomy and gray. Remus sat in the last class of the day; Divination. He glanced out the window and watched the rain pound against it. Remus returned to his book, and continued to read the chapter. Today they were learning about palmistry. Professor Trelawny had the flu – which she 'saw coming'. She was in no state to teach, so she merely assigned chapter after chapter to be read. Remus ran his hand through his hair, his head was throbbing, he guessed that it had to do with the abrupt weather change.

On the other side of the table, Remus heard Sirius sigh as he read. Remus looked up and smiled. "Boring huh?"

"No doubt. When does class end?" Sirius jumped at the sudden vibration of thunder. It caused the tower to shake slightly.

Remus looked down at his watch. "10 minutes. I can't wait to get out of here."

"Yeah... I have to talk to you after class, alright?"

Remus smiled and nodded looking back at his book. The class sat in silence for the remainder of class, and when the bell rang out, they all quietly packed up their school things. Remus had already packed, and stood waiting for Sirius to finish. He smiled when he was finished, and they set out for the door. Remus waved goodbye to the Professor.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well... tonight James and I are going to do the prank..."

"Tonight?"

Sirius nodded and put his arm around Remus. "So that means that James and I need to talk to you about what your role in this is going to be, alright?"

"I don't know if I want to do it..."

"Aw come on Remy! You have to, you promised." Sirius took his arm away and hoisted his bag back onto his sturdy shoulder. Remus scratched his cheek and sighed.

"You're right... when are we going to err... organize this?"

"We're going to meet in the common room in a half hour and go over everything."

"Yeah, alright." Remus smiled as he stepped past the last stair. He had to stop suddenly because it felt like his head was going to explode – the pressure that mounted over the last 10 minutes of class seemed to be unbearable. Remus fell hard to his knees and put his hand to his head. Tears started to creep out of his beautiful amber eyes.

Sirius dropped his bag and fell to his side putting an arm around his shoulders. "Remy! Remy are you alright?"

Remus tried to nod but instead he ended up getting sick. His thin body lurched roughly as he threw up. Sirius had stood up to avoid getting it all over his robes. Remus was on all fours with his head hanging. He was taking in sharp breaths. Sirius took out a handkerchief and bent over. He relieved Remus of his current position and led him away from the throw up. He sat him on the stairs and bent infront of him. He began to clean Remus's face tenderly.

"Do you want me to take you to Madam Pomfrey?"

Remus closed his eyes and gagged slightly. He nodded his head and ran his hands through his hair. Sirius nodded and told a passing friend from Gryffindor to take their bags back to the common room and put them on the couch beside the fire. His friend nodded and stepped around the mess, picking up Remus and Sirius's bags. Sirius smiled in thanks and gently picked up Remus.

He carried Remus to the hospital room as quickly and gently as he could. He noticed that Remus's face was pale and his skin was clammy. When he got there, Madam Pomfrey didn't seem surprised at all. She led Sirius to a bed and told him to lay Remus down. Sirius did as he was told and backed away. Madam Pomfrey placed the back of her hand to Remus's forehead and gasped slightly. Remus moaned slightly.

"You need to leave, Mr. Black. I need to tend to Remus."

Sirius nodded and slowly walked away. The last thing he saw was Remus leaning over again and throwing up into a bucket, with Madam Pomfrey rubbing his back lightly.

When Remus had stopped getting sick, Madam Pomfrey took off his cloak and undid his shirt. Remus's temperature was rising rapidly. She started to get her assistants to fetch ice packs to lie on his body. Remus fell in and out of consciousness and felt relieved when he felt an ice pack under his neck. It sent a delightful shiver down his spine.

Sirius bumped into Professor Dumbledore on his way out of the hospital wing. "Are you just coming from there, Mr. Black?"

Sirius nodded. "Remus is in there throwing up..."

Dumbledore nodded and placed a warm hand to Sirius's shoulder. "Do not worry about him, Sirius. We will help him."

Sirius nodded and watched as Professor Dumbledore sped past him and into the hospital room.

Dumbledore made his way to the back of the wing, and appeared infront of Madam Pomfrey. "So it appears that we need to find another way to help this boy, and quickly."

"Indeed... he's burning up. I've never seen anything like this. Come here..." Madam Pomfrey moved and took Dumbledore's hand and placed it on Remus's forehead. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and sat on the bed.

"Remus... Remus open your eyes..."

Remus obeyed and opened his eyes. Everything was out of focus and he tried his best to keep looking in Dumbledore's direction. Thankfully, Dumbledore took his head in his hands, forcing his head to stay still as he looked at his eyes. Remus's eyes were turning from his usual amber color to a vivid yellow. The color they were when he was transformed.

"We need the wolfsbane now." Dumbledore let go of Remus's head and let his hand float past Remus's eyes. His eyes immediately closed and he seemed to go into a deep sleep. "It is roughly two weeks until the next full moon... we must give it to him."

"But Headmaster... it isn't ready." Madam Pomfrey was wringing her hands.

"Then I need you to go to St. Mungo's and see if they have anything that can help Remus. This is very urgent – we must help him now or risk loosing him." Dumbledore stood and brought the blanket up to Remus's neck. "I have put him to sleep, but he will need to be under constant guard. I will remain here for a while, to make sure he is alright – but I need one of your nurses to remain with him until you return."

Madam Pomfrey nodded and walked in the direction of one of her nurses. Dumbledore pulled the divider to the end of the bed, and sat in the chair next to Remus. He watched Remus's chest for any signs of a struggle to breath – and found none. Dumbledore folded his hands and closed his eyes. A young girl, with black hair and green eyes interrupted him politely.

"Headmaster sir, Poppy told me that I am to stay with this boy until she returns." She smiled slightly as she looked down at Remus. "What's wrong with him...?"

"He is a werewolf-" The girl took in a sharp breath. "My dear," Dumbledore stood up and placed a hand on her arm. "He will not harm you. I have put him into a deep sleep. The reason why he is here is because the werewolf side of him is trying to... take over so to speak. I have told Poppy to go to St. Mungo's to search for any type of help. He has progressed farther in his full transformation than either of us have expected. Please stay here with him and watch to make sure nothing happens to him. If anything suspicious does happen – please alert me immediately. Do not pause for a second, do you understand?"

The girl nodded and looked down at Remus. "Every word."

"Good. Thank-you for staying with him, Alice."

She smiled and shook his hand before taking the seat that was once occupied by Dumbledore. As she sat, she watched Remus sleep. He took in smooth breaths and his lips were slightly parted. She leant over, wiped his slightly damp forehead with a cool cloth, and took in a quick breath when he stirred at the touch. She regained her confidence and dabbed at his forehead again. She couldn't help but think about how astonishingly good-looking this young boy was. His sandy blonde hair was splayed around his head covering the pillow, and his eyes moved slightly underneath the pale lids. His skin looked baby soft to the touch. His lips were more or less the same color as his skin – but with a slight pink tinge to them. Alice smiled as she wiped the hair away from his forehead. He wasn't over heated, but he was warmer than a normal person would be. Remus's head twitched slightly as he slept.

Sirius came to the painting and mumbled the password, as he entered James bounded upon him. "Your late!"

Sirius made a face. "We can't do the prank tonight."

James's frame sagged and he sighed. "What? We've been planning it for months, Sirius."

"Yeah I know. But Remus is sick and he can't do his part of the prank... so we can't do it. It'll have to wait."

James sat in the chair across from Sirius. "He's sick?"

"Yeah... he started throwing up just after Divination and I had to take him to the infirmary."

"Ouch... will he be okay?"

Sirius lay down on the couch, pushing both his and Remus's bags off of it. "I dunno." He stared up at the ceiling. "I guess he will be. Dumbledore bumped into me in the hallway, and if he's there Remus'll be alright...."

"Yeah." James sighed and took of his glasses rubbing his face. "Can't we ask Peter?"

Sirius rolled his neck and looked over at his friend. "James... just drop it. We'll do it next week or something."

"Alright, alright... I'll drop it. I'm going to go find Lily... want to join?"

"No... I'll see you guys at dinner. I want to relax for a while." Sirius crossed his arms as he brought his cloak around his shoulders and torso.

James stood up and put his glasses back on. He walked towards Sirius and bent down again. He spoke in a hushed tone. "Remus will be alright, Sirius... stop worrying – it's not like you, it doesn't suit you at all." He offered a smile.

Sirius smiled from the corner of his mouth and breathed out. "Yeah I know. That's Remus's job."

James laughed. "Definitely. See you at dinner."

Sirius nodded and watched James disappear through the portrait.
Remus awoke 3 hours later, and looked into a pair of light blue eyes behind a pair of half moon glasses. He shook his head slightly as he looked around the room. He soon stopped when he felt his side begin to sear with pain. He felt a gentle hand placed on his side – and the pain stopped and was replaced with a feeling of warmth. He looked up again and was greeted by a smiled.

"How are you feeling, Remus?"

"Ugh..."

"Good answer," Dumbledore laughed slightly and motioned for someone to come over. He smiled as he took a small bottle from her hands. The girl with black hair smiled, and her eyes twinkled slightly as she curtseyed and walked away. "This is what I told you about the other night, Remus. This is wolfsbane."

Remus sat up and propped himself up on his elbows. "Wolfsbane...?"

Dumbledore nodded and uncorked the small blue bottle. "It will help you with your transformations and ease all 'side effects' you've been feeling. Meaning – it'll take care of the pain in your side, your mood changes, your headaches – and so on. You must take it 2 weeks before the full moon for it to be effective."

"But... it's less than two weeks until the next full moon..." Remus's heart fell as he looked at Dumbledore.

"Indeed it is. Though if you do take this now – I am sure that it will take care of most of the discomfort that you have been feeling, and possibly have an effect on your transformation. Since your case is completely unique – it may just help you now."

"So... if I take this then I won't transform?"

"No, you will still transform – but you will be tame enough for us to keep you in the castle. You will not have to go to the Shrieking Shack any longer." Dumbledore smiled as he handed the small bottle to Remus.

Remus took the bottle in his hand and looked at it before looking back at Dumbledore. Dumbledore smiled and nodded his head. Remus turned back to the bottle. He raised it to his lips and let it pour down his throat. The liquid was warm and it tasted bitter. He made a face as he swallowed and dropped the bottle. "That tastes horrible..."

Dumbledore nodded and picked up the bottle placing the cork back in it. "I can only imagine that it would. There's something else that you need to know about this potion."

Remus reached for the glass of water beside him and took a swig before speaking. "What's that?"

"Now that you have had the potion, if you intake any sugar – it will become utterly useless. So from now until you transform – you are to stay away from sugar completely. However, after this transformation – you are allowed to have sugar again – but only two weeks every month. Do you understand?"

Remus nodded and his head sank. "So no chocolate for two weeks?" he smiled slightly as he heard Dumbledore laugh.

"No chocolate for two weeks."

'Damn...' Remus smiled as he moved to get out of the bed. "Oh... um... can I go back to the dorms tonight?"

"The color seems to be back in your cheeks – and you feel alright...?"

"I do."

"Then as far as I know you are free to go – unless Madam Pomfrey-"

Madam Pomfrey noticed the pleading look in Remus's eyes as she crossed her arms. "He is fine to go, but may I do a once over on him before he leaves?"

"Of course." Dumbledore smiled and bowed his head to Remus and Madam Pomfrey. "Goodnight."

They both bid good-bye. Remus sat on the bed as Madam Pomfrey worked around him, checking his breathing, temperature, blood pressure, hydration, and blood sugar. "You seem to be alright – you may leave."

Remus smiled widely as he took up his cloak and wrapped it around his shoulders. "Thank-you. Goodnight Madam Pomfrey." He bowed his head as he turned to leave.

"Goodnight, Mr. Lupin." Madam Pomfrey smiled and shook her head as she began to fix his bed.

Remus took in a deep breath as he opened the door to the infirmary and walked through the hallways towards the Gryffindor tower.

"Feeling alright there Lupin?"

Remus turned and came face to face with Serverus Snape. "I'm feeling alright... Why aren't you in your dungeon?"

Serverus scoffed and walked out of the dim shadows he was standing in. His greasy hair was lying over his eyes, and his eyebrow was raised. "Out for a moonlit walk."

Remus lowered his head and smiled. "I see... I have to get going – so I'll talk to you later."

"What are you and your moronic friends planning?"

Remus stopped and turned to face the greasy boy. "What do you mean?"

Serverus stepped forward and stood inches from Remus's face. "You know what I mean, Lupin. You had better not be planning anything – or you'll rue the day you were born."

Remus laughed slightly and shook his head at Serverus. "I already rue the day I was born, Serverus." He lied.

Serverus sneered and pushed past the sandy haired boy, making sure to smash into his shoulder – he expected to find Remus loose his footing but instead he found himself loosing his own footing. He looked back at Remus and looked at him with a confused look in his eyes.

"Better hurry to bed, Serverus."

Serverus glowered at him before turning around and heading in the direction of the dungeon. Remus smiled at himself and continued walking towards the Gryffindor tower. As he got there, he had to wake the painting.

"I'm sorry Fat Lady, but you must wake up to let me in..."

"What, What?" She looked around and then down at Remus. "Oh... it's you..." She smiled slightly as he cheeks went pink. "Password?"

"Fiddylord." Remus smiled.

She smiled as she swung to the side. "Such a lovely boy."

Remus laughed as he made his way over to the couch. His bag wasn't sitting there so he decided that his friends had taken it upstairs. As he emerged through the door he found someone on his bed. He wrinkled his eyebrows as he walked towards his bed.

Sirius was lying on Remus's bed sprawled out on his back. His hair was everywhere and he was breathing slowly. He smiled and walked towards his trunk. Remus cringed when he accidentally tripped over his book bag. He immediately looked around the room for a sign of anyone waking. Finding nothing, he quickly found his pajamas and started to strip down. The moonlight shone across his back, illuminating his many scars. Remus stood in his boxers, trying to find the tag in his pants. He was caught off guard as Sirius came up behind him, wrapped his arms around his waist, and rested his head on Remus's shoulder.

"Jesus, Siri! Don't do that..." Remus jumped as he felt the touch on his body.

"I'm sorry..." Sirius kissed the crook of Remus's neck smiling. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's alright..." Remus smiled at the touch and finally found the tag at the back of his pants but froze when he felt hands travel towards his crotch. "Siri...." Sirius' hands kept moving until they found his waistband. He slipped his fingers past the waistband and down a trail of soft sandy blonde hair. Remus felt his blood rush to his groin as Sirius continued. "Siri... not now... no... Siri!" Remus gasped slightly as he felt a hand caress his penis. Remus grabbed for Sirius's hands and took them out of his boxers. He looked down quickly and blushed at the bulge in his boxers.

"What?"

Remus turned around and looked into Sirius's eyes. "We're in the dorm room, Siri... you're trying to... in here... infront of everyone... That's not how it is supposed to happen."

Sirius looked down and placed his hands on Remus's hips, pulling him close, his eyes were full of desire "I know... but I-"

Remus put a finger to Sirius' lips. "Not here, not now." He bit his lip as he felt a slight caress through his boxers. "Oh God..." Remus looked down and blushed. "Siri..." Remus stopped himself in mid sentence. "I-I need a shower."

Sirius laughed when he looked down. "I can see why."

Remus's eyes went wide and his hands went instinctively to his crotch. "Ahh...! That's not why! I need a shower because I feel dirty," Sirius stifled a laugh. "Since I was throwing up and I haven't gotten the chance to clean up."

Sirius nodded and smiled as his boyfriend gathered up his shirt, grabbed a towel and scurried off to the shower.

Remus got to the shower and closed the door quickly. 'God how am I going to resist him...? I mean... I nearly asked him to come with me to the Room of Requirement and actually go through with it.... Oh God...' Remus took off his clothing and set it on the counter. He brought his towel to the shower stall, and laid it on the ledge right beside it. Remus turned the knobs and watched as the water spurted from the showerhead. He adjusted the temperature so that it was quite warm, and stepped in.

He welcomed the hot water on his tired muscles. Remus stood still for a moment before he reached up and ran his fingers through his hair. He let the water cascade down his face and the front of his body. Remus reached for the soap, beginning to rub it on the lufa sponge to work up a lather. He began to wash himself and was pleasantly surprised when he accidentally brushed it against his groin. Remus looked down and tried to ignore the sudden growth. He shifted his eyes around and bit his lip. He had never touched himself in a sexual way. He didn't quite know what to do with himself.

Sirius had walked into the bathroom and was sitting on the counter, watching Remus's form through the mist in the air and fogged glass. Sirius tilted his head and smiled. "Hey Remy?" He saw the figure freeze, he laughed silently.

"Err... Yeah?" Remus moved and poked his head out of the side of the shower.

"Mind if I join you?" Sirius hopped off the counter and took his shirt off.

"I was... err... almost finished." Remus looked at his boyfriend, who was just about to slip off his boxers. His eyes trailed down Sirius's body slowly.

Sirius laughed as he rested his fingers on the waistband of his boxers. Why was he all of a sudden scared? He bit his lip before continuing. "Nah... your not." He took in a deep breath, slid his boxers off of his body, and stepped forward completely naked. His heart was pounding, as he stood infront of Remus.

Remus bowed his head and stepped aside, allowing Sirius to step into the shower. Remus smiled and moved to the back of the small shower crossing his arms. He tried his best to not look at Sirius' crotch.

Sirius stood infront of him smiling. "I need that, Remy."

"What?" He looked down at the lufa sponge. "Oh! Right... here." Remus handed it to him gently and smiled as he blushed.

"Thanks."

"Mm..." Remus smiled and reached for the shampoo.

"Hey Remy?"

Remus turned around with the shampoo bottle in hand. "Yes?"

"Mind scrubbing my back? I can't reach it..." Sirius handed him the still soapy lufa.

"Oh... um... sure... turn around." Sirius did as he was told with a smile on his face. Remus began to rub the lufa on Sirius back and felt a sudden rush of blood to his groin. Once he had finished, he hadn't noticed that Sirius had turned around and was looking at him. Remus snapped out of his stare and looked up. He smiled and moved to rinse off the lufa. He got up on his tiptoes and reached around Sirius, trying to reach the water. Sirius didn't move – Remus lost his balance. Remus fell forward and into Sirius's ready arms. Sirius held him close, and the fronts of their bodies were touching. Remus could feel something hard hitting him somewhere just below his belly button.

Sirius smiled as Remus dropped the lufa. Sirius' lips started to fall out as he leant forward and kissed Remus. The mix of the kiss and the hot water caused Remus to become even harder than he already was. He felt Sirius's body rumble slightly as he laughed.

"Do you want me to help with that, Remy?"

"Help with what...?"

"The hard object hitting my leg"

Remus began to suck on his lips and he knitted his eyebrows. He looked down and for the first time, saw how large Sirius was. His eyes went slightly wide. He twitched his head.

"What was that?"

Remus's heart began to pound, but he kept his eyes lowered. This time, he legibly nodded his head. "I-I've never had anyone... I hadn't even... no one has ever t-t-"

Sirius smiled and brought Remus's head up. "Relax. I won't hurt you." He smiled and laid his soft, warm lips on Remus's. His hands began to travel down Remus's body and stopped just below his hips. "Are you sure you want me to do this?" Remus nodded and bit his bottom lip again. "Alright..."

Sirius kissed him again only this time his hands moved lower. Remus felt a hand cover the shaft of his penis and took in a sharp breath. Sirius smiled against his lips and moved to begin kissing his neck. Remus stood still as Sirius kissed his chest. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with his hands. His eyes however, flung open when he felt a light kiss on his belly button. He looked down and saw a mass of black hair. He felt a tongue dragging down his skin. Remus ran his hand through his hair and felt as if his heart was going to burst from his chest. In an instant he felt a pair of lips over the tip of his penis. Remus leant forward slightly with his mouth open taking in a breath. He rolled his eyes back and put his hands on Sirius's shoulders. He didn't dare move them towards his head, though he very much wanted to.

Remus began to bite his lip again as Sirius continued. He closed his eyes and wrinkled his eyebrows together. Remus began to breath quicker, and his heart began to pound faster. His knees threatened to give away. He tightened the muscles in his legs and lent against the wall of the shower. He took in a sharp breath when he felt Sirius's tongue find a sensitive part underneath the head of his penis. Remus let out a low moan that he wasn't able to keep in any longer.

Sirius began to pump his hand along Remus's shaft and looked up at his boyfriend. His head was hanging forward and he was chewing on his lips – his face skewed up in a look of lust. Sirius also noticed that he was breathing quickly and his cheeks were bright red. He smiled as he looked down again. He placed his lips over the head of Remus's penis and continued to move his hand up and down the length of Remus's shaft. He quickened the pace when he felt Remus's body start to tense. At this point, he tried to decide whether he was to spit or swallow – but the decision was soon made for him as Remus emitted a mix of a moan and a squeak. He felt Remus's hands tighten on his shoulders and his nails dig in slightly, Sirius was also vaguely aware that Remus had slumped forward. Sirius sucked the head of Remus's penis – swallowing all the semen that had found his mouth.

Remus felt his cheeks burning and his blood pounding. His world slowly came out of the haze it had been in, and he opened his eyes. Sirius was looking up at him with a smile across his lips. Sirius slowly began to stand and Remus kept his hands on his boyfriend's shoulders as he did so. Sirius gathered the boy into an embrace.

"Glad I helped?"

"Mmm... thank-you" Remus slightly nodded his head and wrapped his arms around Sirius's shoulders, resting his forehead to Sirius'. Sirius suddenly took in a sharp breath and Remus's eyes flung open. "What?"

"My shoulders."

Remus lifted his head slightly and looked. There were 4 marks on either side of his shoulders. They were all bleeding. Remus's hands flew to his mouth. "Did I do that to you?" Sirius smiled, nodded and reached for the shampoo. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry Siri..."

"It's alright." He smiled and took Remus's hands away from his mouth and turned them around, squirting shampoo into them. "Wash up."

Remus nodded still looking at Sirius's shoulders. He started to rub the shampoo through his hair and watched his boyfriend do the same. "Do you... do you," Remus moved to underneath the stream of water, rinsing his hair. "Want me to err... return the favor?"

"Not now." Sirius smiled and stepped underneath the stream of water. "I'll tell you when I want you to."

Remus was slightly relived – as he had never given anyone a hand job or a blowjob. He hadn't even done it to himself. Sirius turned off the tap and shook his head spraying Remus with water. Remus laughed and did the same. Remus stepped out of the shower stall with his hair plastered to his face. He smiled through his hair and turned to dry it.

"Hey Remy?"

"Yes?"

"Was that the first time you've ever... you know..."

Remus turned around and was rubbing his arms dry with the towel. "... Yeah." He looked down slightly as he began to dry his legs.

"You've never done it yourself?" Sirius was standing with his towel around his shoulders with an astonished look on his face.

"Err... no." Remus smiled quickly and reached for his boxers.

"... Wow..." Sirius stood with his eyebrows raised. He finished drying off and getting dressed before Remus spoke again.

"Yeah... well I've never had the urge to do anything like that. Infact – you're the first person who's seen err... me in 16 years."

"Really? How can you live without-"

Remus reached for his toothbrush and handed Sirius his. "I don't know... I just ignored it." He uncapped the toothpaste and put it on both of their brushes.

"That would explain why there was so much."

"So much what?" Remus put his toothbrush into his mouth.

"Semen." Remus stopped brushing and looked at Sirius with wide eyes. "Yeah... there was a lot." Sirius put his own toothbrush in his mouth and cleaned his teeth.

"Did... did you err..."

Sirius spat. "Swallow it?" Remus nodded. "Yeah, I did." Remus continued to brush his teeth but very slowly. "Don't worry... you tasted good." Sirius smiled out of the side of his mouth.

Remus' eyes went wide as he looked away blushing. He spat out some of the building toothpaste in his mouth. "Err... thank-you?"

Sirius laughed as he bent to pick up the cup beside the sink, filling it with water. "Your welcome." He took a swig of water and handed the half full cup to Remus. He took it gladly and rinsed out his mouth.

The boys gathered up their things, throw their used towels into the hamper and made their way back to the room. Everyone was still asleep and Sirius leaned in for a kiss. Remus greeted it happily and smiled.

"Hey... whatever happened at the hospital?"

"Oh... they gave me this potion," he leant in and spoke into Sirius's ear. "Called wolfsbane – it's supposed to take away all the symptoms of my condition and allow me to be tame so I'll be able to stay in the school when I transform."

"Oh." Sirius nodded his head and smiled. "Well that's good. Do they know about James, Peter and I being able to..."

"No. I don't think so."

"Okay."

The boys climbed into bed and a few minutes passed before Remus spoke again. "Siri...?"

"Mhm?"

"Do you think any less of me because of my condition and because of what we talked about in the bathroom?"

"No. Answer to the first one – doesn't bother me, but I do get scared when it happens because you hurt yourself. Second one – I happen to like the fact that I was the first person to do that – and to see it." Sirius smiled and looked over at Remus.

Remus smiled back and rolled onto his side. "When are you going to ask me to repay the favor?"

"When the time is right."

"Okay..."

The boys fell silent again for a few minutes. Remus spoke up again. "Siri?" He cleared his throat and looked over at Remus. "Was James mad because we couldn't pull the prank?"

"Nah... he was disappointed – but we'll just have to do it next week or tomorrow. It's no big deal – he'll live."

Remus smiled. "Okay... Goodnight."

Sirius yawned. "Night."

Remus rolled onto his stomach and looked out the window. The moon would soon be full. Remus watched the grounds for a while, before slowly drifting off into sleep.
