Lying wrapped together James laughed as he pushed a sweaty hair out of Sirius' eyes. Leaning in he kissed Sirius slowly and happily. This was heaven. He stretched slowly, enjoying the feeling of his wrenched muscles. He wanted nothing more than to fall asleep and not have to think about anything for the rest of the night.

"James?" asked Sirius softly, "Are you awake?"

"Not really. What's up?" He replied rolling onto his side so he could look at his mate.

"Do you think Remus likes us being here?"

"I think he loves it. He was so excited when we were setting up Harry's cot. I think he was thrilled to have us in one spot again."

"So what's to stop us from staying?" Sirius leaned up on one arm and said, "We all used to live together. And it doesn't seem fair to take Harry away from him. He's as much Harry's parent as I am, which is to say, not at all his parent. It doesn't seem fair that I get to spend time with Harry if he doesn't."

"Always an idealist. Life isn't fa-" he cut himself off shaking his head, "Harry needs a room. He really needs his own room, so he can stop worrying about us sending him back. And it has to be a nice room." Looking down cast he said, "Maybe we can get a big place and have Remus come live with us."

Sirius shrugged after a moment, "I was always the best in our year at transfiguration. I'll make him a room." McGonagall had never tried to teach them transfiguration on such a grand scale but if anyone could do it, it would have been Sirius as he had always excelled without trying in that subject. "I'll make it work."

After thinking for a few seconds James looked at the clock on the wall and the hands pointed to a message saying, "Remus is awake". "Let's go talk to him."
