SMUT WARNING
May 8th 1995
It has been five days since Hermione was attacked and ever since then Harry, Hermione and Neville have been talking all about what happened and what it means so much so that they haven't gotten much sleep in the last few days.
It is Monday afternoon, after lunch and Harry, Hermione, Neville, Dean and Seamus are on their way to their afternoon classes.
"I'll see you boys later." Hermione says.
"See you." The four respond and as Hermione heads to Arithmancy Harry, Neville, Dean and Seamus head to Divination.
"It's going to be way to hot in there." Dean comments.
"Yep." Seamus confirms and the climb all the stairs up.
Of course Dean is right and the dimly lit room is sweltering hot. The fumes from the perfumed fire that that Trelawney always has lit are heavier than ever and Harry's head swims as he made his way over to one of the curtained windows while Professor Trelawney is looking the other way, disentangling her shawl from the lamp. Harry opens it an inch or so and settles back into his armchair so that a soft breeze plays across his face, making things quite comfortable.
"My dears." Professor Trelawney says as she sits down in her winged armchair in front of the class, peering around at them all with her strangely enlarged eyes, "We have almost finished our work on planetary division. Today, however will be an excellent opportunity to examine the effects of Mrs, for he is placed most interestingly at the present time. If you will all look this way, I will dim the lights…"
With a wave of Trelawney's wand the lamps go out, causing the fire to be the only source of light, bending down Trelawney lifts a miniature model of the solar system, contained within a glass dome, from under her chair.
Exchanging looks with one another as Harry and Neville have to admit that the dome is quiet beautiful, they continue to watch lazily as Professor Trelawney points out the fascinating angle Mars was making to Neptune.
As they sit the heavily perfumed fumes wash over them, and the breeze from the window plays across their faces. Hermione could hear an insect humming gently somewhere behind the curtain, and Harry's eyelids began to droop.
Looking over to Harry Neville realises that his friend has fallen asleep so he just lets him be, thinking he could use the extra rest.
After a few minutes Neville starts to hear Harry mutter so he turns to his friend.
"Harry?" Neville asks concerned, but Harry doesn't respond. In fact, he falls of his chair and starts to roll around as he cluches his scar in pain, "Harry!" Neville says terrified as he rushes to his friends' side, while the rest of the class turn around, stand up and watch on in interest, "Harry! Harry!" Neville once more attempts and Harry opens his eyes, as he does Neville notices that Harry's eyes are watering, "You alright?" Neville asks concerned, putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Of course he isn't." Professor Trelawney says, looking thoroughly excited, "What was it Potter? A premonition? An apparition? What do you see?"
"Nothing." Harry lies, Neville being able to tell that, as he shakes and looks around.
"You were clutching your scar!" Professor Trelawney says, "You were rolling on the floor, clutching your scar! Come now, Potter, I have experience in these matters!" she says and Harry looks up at her.
"I need to go to the hospital wing, I think." Harry says, "Bad headache."
"My dear, you were undoubtedly stimulated by extraordinary clairvoyant vibrations of my room!" Professor Trelawney says, "If you leave now, you may lose the opportunity to see further than you have ever…"
"I don't want to see anything except a headache cure." Harry comments, as he stands up, and most of the backs away, looking unnerved.
"You know Professor I might walk, Harry. Just in case." Neville says, wanting to talk to Harry himself and make sure he's okay, and both he and Harry grab their stuff and head out of the classroom, before anyone can stop them, neither of them speaking until they reach the bottom of the stepladder, "What really happened?" Neville asks his friend.
"I had another dream that felt real." Harry reveals.
"Like the one before the cup?" Neville asks and Harry nods, "We're not going to the hospital wing, are we?"
"No, we're going to Dumbledore." Harry explains.
"Okay." Neville responds and the two of them head in the direction of Albus's office.
A couple of hours later, Hermione, having no idea what happened to Harry, arrives in the Great Hall for dinner and as she arrives at the Gryffindor table Hermione sees Dean and Seamus, but no sing of Harry or Neville.
"Hey, where's Harry and Nev?" Hermione asks them.
"Something happened in Divination. Harry fell off his chair and he was clutching his scar. They left, Neville was walking them to the hospital wing." Seamus explains to Hermione and without another word Hermione runs out of Great Hall.
As she gets to the entrance hall Hermione knows that Harry had another dream like the one he had over the summer and she knows that the last place they would gone is the hospital wing.
Having a couple of ideas about where Harry and Neville would have gone Hermione runs there and just as she gets near the defence classroom she literally runs into Harry and Neville and right away she notices that neither look okay.
"Are you okay?" Hermione asks worried.
"Kind of." Harry answers.
"Nev?" Hermione asks concerned.
"I don't know." Neville answers, it being clear that he really doesn't know.
"There's stuff we need to tell you, privately." Harry explains.
"Dad and Papa will be at dinner by now. We can use their quarters." Hermione says and the other two nod so they head there.
Fifteen minutes later Harry, Hermione and Neville are in Sirius and Remus's quarters and Neville and Harry have explained everything that happened since they parted ways at lunch.
"So, let me get this straight." Hermione says, standing up and pacing as Harry and Neville sit on the couch, sitting right next to each other even though there is a lot of room on the couch, "Voldemort said Pettigrew's blunder hadn't ruined everything that he is dead, that's got to be Crouch, right?" Hermione asks.
"Dumbledore think so." Harry tells Hermione.
"And you saw memories from the last war." Hermione says, continuing to pace, "How were you seeing what happened to the people who hurt your parents?" he asks Neville.
"It was good seeing actually what happened to them." Neville admits, "I've always imagined, but it was hard." Neville admits and Harry reaches over and places a comforting hand on his friends' knee, "Your cousins crazy." He tells Hermione.
"So, I've heard." Hermione says, continuing to pace, "Bagman was accused of a Death Eater, and Snape."
"Yeah, do you think Sirius and Remus know?" Harry asks.
"I'm not sure if they know for sure, but I'm pretty sure they at least suspect." Hermione answers.
"I can't believe Dumbledore would let him teach." Neville says, sounding shocked.
"You're not alone with that." Harry admits.
"So, Voldemort wants to feed us to his snake?" Hermione asks and Harry nods, "That's bad, that's very, very bad. We've got to be careful Harry. The final task will be the perfect chance to make something happen to us and look like an accident." Hermione tells Harry.
"Which means you're going to have to be prepared for anything." Neville says, being pretty sure that he's getting dizzy from watching Hermione pace, "You're going to have to be even more careful. Keep safe" Neville comments and as he does none of the trio notice the door open.
"Voldemort wants to feed us to his snake I don't think keeping safe is a possibility." Hermione admits.
"WHAT?" Two shocked voices say and Harry, Hermione and Neville turn to see Sirius and Remus, both looking afraid.
"Is there someone you three want to share?" Sirius asks and the trio of first year's exchange looks.
"You might want to sit down." Harry says and Sirius and Remus do exactly like that, once they are sitting Harry, Hermione and Neville explain everything they know.
"I really, really need a drink." Sirius says, looking bot terrified and angry.
"We'll figure this all out." Remus says, "The five of us we'll figure this out." Remus tells the fourth years, "We'll spend the next few weeks teaching you everything you could need for the third task and once you get through that we'll figure out the rest of this."
"Okay." Harry and Hermione say and the group drift into silence.
Many, many hours later Sirius and Remus are in bed together but neither are asleep, even though they should be.
"Rem, you awake?" Sirius asks.
"Of course." Remus say, looking up at Sirius.
"I'm afraid." Sirius admits, "I'm scared for them, scared about what all this means."
"So am I." Remus says sitting up and Sirius does the same, "Our kids are so strong, we both know that, but they're facing adult problems, things they shouldn't have to face."
"I know." Sirius confirms, "I wish we could all just run away and not worry about Voldmeort, or Pettigrew, or this tournament or anything, but I don't see that happening any time soon." Sirius says sadly.
"Me either." Remus admits and the two of them drift into silence, both knowing that neither of them will be getting any sleep any time soon.
May 19th 1995
It has been a little over a week since Harry had his dream and ever since Harry, Hermione and even Neville has been working with Remus and Sirius during most of their free time to learn anything they may need for the third task, and quiet often some combination of Fred, George, Dean, Seamus, Lee, Angelina, Alicia and Katie join them as well.
It is late Friday night and Hermione is just leaving detention with Snape, a detention she got for throwing a frog's liver at Ron, something that was completely justified at the time, but which she regretted five minutes into her detention with Snape.
"Lupin-Black." A familiar voice says, once Hermione is a couple of corridors away from the potions classroom, and Hermione turns to see Malfoy.
"What do you want Malfoy? If you just want to torment me can you do it later?" Hermione asks, sounding annoyed.
"I just want to talk to you, that's all." Malfoy says, holding up his hands as if to say he's innocent.
"Then talk." Hermione says as she moves her bag on her shoulder more.
"Look, I hate you, you hate me, we know that, but I wanted to tell you that what Weasley did was wrong, you keep your friends secrets, no matter what, it's just what you do." Malfoy says, looking annoyed with what Ron did.
"Okay." Hermione says, drawing out the word in confusion, "Is that all?"
"No." Malfoy says, looking incredibly awkward, and Hermione just gives him a look which says 'go on.' "We're both Black's, family, even though we both hate that and wish differently, that means something." Malfoy reveals, "Which is the only reason why I'm telling you that Weasley has been meeting with Slytherin's, I think he's planning something. You should watch out for him." Malfoy says before walking away.
"Okay." Hermione says confused, sounding completely shocked. After spending a couple of minutes standing in shock Hermione gets up and heads back to the Gryffindor common room.
A little while later Hermione walks into the Gryffindor Common Room where she finds Harry, Neville, Fred and George clearly waiting up for her.
"How was detention?" George asks when he sees her.
"Exactly as bad as normal." Hermione asks, "But something odd happened after."
"Bad odd? Or just odd odd?" Harry asks worried.
"I'm thinking just odd." Hermione responds, "Malfoy was waiting for me after." She reveals.
"How's that not bad?" Fred asks.
"He just wanted to talk." Hermione reveals, getting four shocked looks in response, "He said that what Ron did was wrong and that because we're both Black's he decided to tell me that Ron's been meeting with Slytherins, that I should watch out for him because Malfoy thinks he's planning something." Hermione explains.
"Seriously?" Neville asks surprised and Hermione nods, "What's he playing at?"
"Honestly, nothing." Hermione admits, "I think he was being serious."
"Really?" Fred asks surprised.
"Well, he started the conversation by making it clear that we both hate each other and that he was doing it because we're both Black's." Hermione explains, "There is nothing more important than families to Blacks its why Dad and Andromeda believing differently got such a big reaction. Malfoy's mother would have raised him knowing that, which is the only reason why I think he did that." Hermione explains.
"So, if we believe him that means our dear little brother is up to something…. Again." George says with a frown.
"Which begs the question what do we do?" Harry asks.
"We watch him, figure out what he's up to." Hermione says and they drift into silence, all of them wondering what Ron is up to and what problems they are going to cause for them next.
May 27th 1995
It has been about a week since Malfoy gave a warning to Hermione and ever since she, Harry, Neville, Fred and George have been watching Ron carefully and it has become clear to Hermione that her guess was right and Malfoy only gave the warning out of Black family loyalty.
It is a Saturday evening and Harry, Hermione, Neville, Fred, George, Lee, Dean, Seamus, Angelina, Katie, and Alicia are heading to dinner after spending all day practicing defence spells under Remus and Sirius's supervision.
"You know, I really like practicing like this." Angelina comments, "Us learning together in an unformal way. It makes it so much easier to learn the spells."
"It really does." Neville confirms, "It's more relaxed and I don't feel like so much of an idiot when I screw up."
"You're not an idiot." Harry says back in an instinct, "But it is fun."
"You know maybe this should become a regular thing, between not just us but others too. Of course only people we trust." Katie comments.
"That sounds really good." Lee says and several of the others nod in agreement.
"It does, but right now all I can focus on is getting through this task." Hermione comments, looking worried.
"I agree there." Harry comments.
"Next year then." Seamus suggests.
"Yeah, next year." Hermione confirms and they all drift into silence.
"So… it's Saturday night, what are we going to do for fun?" Fred asks after a few seconds.
"Maybe study, I mean you all have exams starting Monday." Hermione reminds them.
"Nah." Everyone but Harry says.
"Okay, then what should we do?" Harry asks curious, honestly being a little amused.
"Leave that to us." George says as he, Fred and Lee exchange looks.
"We'll see you all in the common room after dinner." Lee says before he and the twins hurry off.
"Ohh this is going to be good." Dean says with a smirk.
"And we're probably going to regret this." Katie realises.
"Yep." The others say as they all make their way to dinner, all wondering what Fred, George and Lee are planning while looking forward to it.
Half an hour later Harry, Hermione, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Angelina, Alicia, and Katie are just arriving back at the Common Room where they find Fred, Lee, and George waiting.
"So, have you organized whatever it is you are planning?" Angelina asks when he sees them.
"Yep." Fred confirms, "So once Hermione gets the map we can get going." He says.
"Be right back." Hermione says before hurrying upstairs.
A few seconds later Hermione walks downstairs, holding the Marauder's map that has been activated.
"Got it, where are we going?" Hermione asks.
"Grounds near the lake in a place that won't be seen by anyone." George tells the others.
"So you need me to get us down there without us getting caught." Hermione realises.
"Exactly." Fred confirms.
"Okay." Hermione confirms and she looks at the map, "First corridor is clear." She reveals and the group of eleven head out of the common room.
After about fifteen minutes Harry, Hermione, Neville, Fred, George, Lee, Dean, Seamus, Alicia, Katie and Angelina get onto the grounds and arrive at a bomb fire near the lake that is hidden from the castle's view.
"Soo, we mixed this." Lee says, picking up a jug, "It's really, really strong, and we were thinking that after a couple of glasses of these we should pay truth or dare." He explains.
"Sounds good to me." Dean comments and the others nod in agreement, everyone knowing that that will mean that things are bound to be interesting.
As Lee conjures cups for everyone they all sit around the fire, making themselves comfortable as they watch the fire.
Just as the eleven Gryffindor students are getting down to the lake Sirius and Remus are getting back to their quarters after dinners.
"So, do we have more exams to create?" Sirius asks, walking over to the desk.
"Nope, we finished them this morning." Remus says, walking over to Sirius, "And we have no essays to mark either."
"Really?" Sirius asks, drawing out the word as he turns around to face his mate, who is really close.
"Really." Remus confirms, "We got a completely free night, what are we to do?" Remus asks, sounding coy.
"Oh, I think I have an idea." Sirius says with a grin before leaning in and kissing Remus.
"I like that idea." Remus responds when they break apart and they both had to their bedroom.
Once Sirius and Remus are inside their bedroom Sirius pushes Remus up against the wall and start to passionately kisses his mouth, in a way like he is trying to devour it.
START OF SMUT
After a couple of minutes, they break apart, both panting as they try and catch their breaths and once he has caught it enough Sirius moves onto Remus's neck and starts to bite and nibble on it.
"Oh Siri." Remus moans as he does.
After a few minutes Sirius starts to unbutton Remus's shirt while still biting and kissing his mates neck, causing Remus a hell of a lot of pleasure.
After a few more minutes, it taking so long because he kept getting distracted by his mate's flesh, Sirius finally manages to remove Remus's shirt as he moves his mouth of Remus's neck. As he does Remus quickly reverses their positions as he starts to remove Sirius's shirt, and they kiss passionately, it seeming like neither can let go of each other for more than a few seconds.
Once Remus has removed Sirius's shirt he takes off Sirius's belt, which he just throws, not caring where it lands, and pulls down his mate's pants followed by his underwear, placing kisses along Sirius's legs as he does.
Once Sirius is fully naked he brings Remus back up with a tug of his hair and gives him a rather hard kiss, one that is mostly tongue.
As the pair kiss they walk back to the bed and as he is walking backwards Remus's hits the bed first, causing him to fall backwards and Sirius is on top of him.
"I love the feeling of you on top of me." Remus tells Sirius.
"So do I." Sirius says, "Of course I love being in you more." Sirius whispers seductively and Remus just gives a moan back.
With a smirk Sirius quickly works to remove the remanded of Remus's clothes so that his mate is as naked as he is. Kissing up his mates legs he does.
"Hurry, Siri. I'm really not in a patient mood." Remus informs his mate, thrusting up.
"Patience Rem." Sirius says, completely avoiding his mates magnificent cock even though he would love to take it into his hot mouth. Instead he flips Remus over so that he is on his stomach and casts a lube charm, wanting desperately to get inside his mates fantastic, tight ass as soon as possible.
To start Sirius places the tip of his index finger to Remus tight entrance before he pushes in, slowly entering his mate. Although Sirius is feeling rather impatient, and he know Remus is too, he doesn't want to risk Remus getting hurt and so he takes his time to properly prepare his mate.
After many moments, more than either would have liked, Sirius has three fingers inside his mate and he knows that Remus is ready.
"So hot, so ready." Sirius whispers to his mate, Remus shivering at the feeling of Sirius's hot breath against his neck and turning his head Remus looks directly at his mate, and just sees love reflected back.
Reaching around Remus pulls Sirius down for one more frenzied kiss.
"Get in me, Siri, I need you in me." Remus says, his voice being both demanding and full of pleasure.
"And I need to be in you." Sirius says and he moves back into position while removing his fingers, causing Remus to wine at the feeling of emptiness.
Seconds later Sirius places cock at Remus's tight entrance before he slides his cock in not stopping until he is buried deep within his mate. As he wants to give Remus a chance to adjust to his size Sirius doesn't move at first, but after a few seconds he hears,
"Move Siri, merlin, move." and he starts to thrust.
At first Sirius moves slowly but then as Sirius starts to thrust up Sirius increase his seed, pounding harder into his lovers wiling, incredible body.
"On all fours." Sirius instructs and managing to do so without Sirius sipping out of his ass for a second, Remus gets on his hands and knees. The second he can Sirius reaches around and starts to stroke Remus at the same fast pace.
"I'm close, I'm so close, come on Baby, harder." Remus says about a minute later and Sirius once more increases his speed, going deeper in his mate, seconds later he feels Remus tighten around him as he screams, "Siri." And comes all over his hand.
Not being able to hold on Sirius comes about a second later screaming, "REMUS" as he does. Both completely exhausted Sirius and Remus collapse onto the bed, Sirius on top of Remus as they both attempt to catch their breaths.
After a few minutes Remus starts to search blindly until he finds a wand which he picks up and hands to Sirius who cleans them with a spell. The second they are cleaned Remus uses his strength to flip them so that Sirius is on his back and Remus is hovering over him.
"Okay, my turn to have some fun." Remus says with a devious smirk.
"Ohhh, I love werewolf stamina." Sirius says with a grin, knowing that he is going to very much enjoy whatever they are about to do.
END OF SMUT
It has been about an hour since Harry, Hermione, Neville, Fred, George, Dean, Seamus, Alicia, Angelina and Katie sat down out by the fire and all of them are a little bit tipsy.
"I think it's truth or dare time." Dean comments.
"Definitely." Hermione answers.
"Well, In that case, Lupin-Black, truth or dare?" George asks.
"You know; I think I'm going to go with dare." Hermione informs him and she is pretty sure that she regrets it as George smirks.
"Well young Lupin-Black, I dare you to kiss my dear brother." George tells Hermione, causing several people around the circle to get amused looks on their faces.
"Okay." Hermione says, getting up and walking over to where Fred is sitting across the circle, when she gets close enough Hermione bends down and kisses Fred on the cheek, "You didn't say where." She says with a smirk to George.
"True, very true." George says with an amused smirk, no one noticing Fred and Hermione exchanging smirks, it being clear that they both knew that was coming as soon as the dare was asked.
"Yep." Hermione says as she returns to her seat, "Dean, truth or dare?" she asks.
"Ummm, truth." Dean answers.
"How far have you and Seamus gotten?" Hermione asks her friend, causing a few laughs throughout the circle.
"Not quiet all the way, but close." Dean answers.
"Please remember silencing spells or not use our dorm when you do." Harry requests.
"Will do." Seamus says with an amused smirk on his face.
"Angie, truth or dare?" Dean asks.
"Truth." Angelina answers.
"Is there anyone in this circle that you see as more than a friend?" Dean asks, "In the romantic or sexual sense."
"Yes." Angelina answers, "Harry? Truth or dare?" she asks.
"Dare." Harry answers without hesitation.
"I dare you to kiss, on the lips, the person in this circle you find most attractive." Angelina dares and then to no one's surprise, as they all saw it coming Harry goes straight to Neville and kisses him.
As soon as he kisses Neville Harry realises that the kiss feels very differently to his kiss he shared with Hermione, it feels right instead of extremely awkward.
"I…." Harry starts to say to Neville once they break apart after a few seconds, being worried that he over stopped and ruined his friendship, but in response Neville just leans forward and pulls Harry into a deeper kiss, thinking it would be better than words to explain how he feels.
Around the circle the others exchange looks, all feeling happy about this as they think that Harry and Neville are good together and Hermione especially is very happy about that fact.
"Okay, you two, break it up." Katie says after several minutes, though she is grinning, and Harry and Neville do break apart, both having smiles on their faces and as they look around and see the supportive looks on all their friends faces they both feel completely amazed.
"You know what, I think that lake looks very good, like it would be perfect for swimming." Lee comments.
"One problem. None of us have bathes." Alicia points out.
"That's not necessarily a problem." Seamus says with a smirk.
"Skinny dipping in the lake, is that seriously what you're suggesting?" Hermione asks and Seamus nods, "Wow, I must be tipsier than I thought because that sounds like a good idea." Hermione admits, to the completely shock off everyone.
"Okay… then, I really wasn't expecting that." George says, looking impressed, "Anyone uncomfortable with this?" he asks and to everyone's surprise no one objects.
"Guys in first. Hermione, Katie, Alicia and I will keep our eyes closed." Angelina says, "And when we go in you'll all keep your eyes closed." She says.
"Sounds good." Harry says approvingly and all the guys head over to the lake.
One at a time they all strip down and head into the lake, until it is hard to tell that they are naked as they are covered in water.
As he notices Neville away from the others Harry swims over to him,
"Are you okay?" Harry asks concerned.
"Yeah." Neville says with a nod, "I'm so confused about what happened."
"Same." Harry admits, sounding uncertain.
"But I do know that it felt amazing. I really liked the feeling of your lips on mine and I want to do it so many more times." Neville reveals, being pretty sure that he is being so open because of the alcohol he's drunk.
"Same." Harry says, "But, I still don't know what this all means."
"Me either." Neville admits, "Maybe we should talk to Remus and Sirius. They'd probably understand this more than anyone."
"Yeah, they would. That sounds like a good idea." Harry admits.
"Yeah, it does." Neville confirms and the two of them exchange smiles.
"Are you both okay?" Hermione asks her two best friends, her brothers, as she swims over to them.
"Yep."
"Yeah."
Harry and Neville say together.
"I'm so happy for both of you. I like you two being a couple if that's what you choose, and I want you to know that if either of you need anything I'm here, as a sounding board or a friend or anything. I love you guys." Hermione tells Harry and Neville.
"Thank you Mione." Harry and Neville say,
"Love you too." Neville says.
"That we do." Harry adds with a smile.
"HEY, YOU THREE, COME OVER HERE." Fred yells and after exchanging looks Harry, Hermione and Neville swim over to the others.
"You really are lost without us, aren't you?" Hermione says with a grin, causing the others to laugh.
"Nah, things are just better when you're around." He says, looking at Hermione, "All of you." He quickly adds as Lee and Katie exchange amused looks and the group of eleven just start to swim around together.
"Well, you all look like you are having fun." A voice says and the eleven teenagers look to see Albus standing on the bank, causing all eleven of them to think the same thing, 'oh crap'
Up in the castle Sirius and Remus are lying in bed together, both completely worn as they catch their breaths after their earlier activities when they suddenly hear,
"Sirius, Remus." Being called.
"That's Albus." Sirius realises and they both hurry up, Sirius rolling onto the ground from the bed, find where their clothes landed, and hurry out into the lounge room.
About a minute later Sirius and Remus hurry out into the lounge, room, Sirius with his shirt completely unbuttoned and Remus still buttoning his where they find Albus' face in the fire.
"Albus? What's going on?" Remus asks when he sees him.
"I need you both to come up to my office." Albus says before ending the call.
"What do you think is going on?" Sirius asks.
"I don't know." Remus admits, "But we should go talk to them, maybe making sure we are fully dressed first."
"Good idea." Sirius admits and once they are both sure that they are dressed completely they head over to the fire and head up to Albus's office.
Once they arrive in Albus's office Sirius and Remus find Harry, Hermione, Neville, Fred, George, Dean, Seamus, Lee, Angelina, Katie and Alicia, all looking slightly worried and Remus realises that they have wet hair.
"What's going on?" Remus asks when he sees everyone, unconsciously checking to make sure her clothes are on right.
"I found these eleven young Gryffindor students swimming in the lake, naked, near a bomb fire, after drinking." Albus reveals, looking disapproving.
"Really?" Sirius asks, looking amused.
"Sirius." Remus hisses, "Why were you doing that?" He asks the students.
"It seemed like it would be fun." Hermione answers.
"It usually is." Sirius confirms, causing all the students to exchange amused looks while Remus and Albus look disapproving.
"How much trouble are they in?" Remus asks, looking at Albus.
"I think a total of fifty-five points from Gryffindor and they are all to spend detention tomorrow with the two of you." Albus says, and all the students have to hide their joy at that as they know that that's really not a punishment, "But I would like to stress to all of you that swimming after drinking or around a fire is a bad idea. It could lead to a lot of dangerous things and you are all to be more careful." Albus says, his voice serious, not necessarily just talking to the students.
"Yes Sir." All students respond.
"Good, you're all dismissed." Albus says and all the students, Remus and Sirius leave the office, Harry and Neville exchanging looks as they do and coming to a decision.
"Sirius, Remus, can Nev and I talk to you?" Harry asks curious.
"Sure." Sirius answers.
"Do you think you are all going to be okay getting back to the common room?" Remus asks curious.
"Yeah, we'll be fine. Getting caught skinny dipping by the headmaster will sober you up pretty quickly." Angelina comments.
"Oh I know that all too well." Sirius comments with a grin.
"Okay, that's way more than I want to know." Hermione says, pulling a face.
"Sorry Princess." Sirius tells his daughter and when they reach the end of the corridor Sirius, Remus, Neville and Harry head down to Sirius and Remus's quarters while everyone else head up to the Gryffindor common room.
A few minutes after they left the others Harry, Neville, Sirius and Remus walk into Sirius and Remus's quarters.
"So, what did you two want to talk about?" Sirius and Remus ask curious.
"We need help, actually advice, and we thought that you would be two of the only people who would understand." Harry admits as all four of them take seats.
"Of course, if we can help we will, whatever it is." Remus tells the two teenagers and Harry and Neville exchange looks, both trying to decide who will explain.
"We kissed, twice, Harry and I." Neville explains, sounding nervous "And we both really liked the feeling, but are confused about what it means." He explains.
"Ah." Sirius says in understanding, "Suddenly realising that you like a friend as more than a friend can be hard, especially when they are the same gender." Sirius tells them, saying what he wanted to hear when he was Harry and Neville's age, "The best advice I can give is not to run from what you're feeling, what either of you are feeling, it will just hurt you and each other."
"It will take you a while to figure out how you feel." Remus says, leaning forward, "And you've got to take that time, and be open with yourselves, and each other, communicate"
"Whatever you are feeling is okay." Sirius says with a supportive smile, "There is nothing wrong or strange about wanting to kiss each other or be with one another." Sirius tells them, "Like Rem said take the time to figure out how you feel and if you have any questions or need anything Rem and I are here. You can ask either of us anything."
"Is there anything either of you want us to say, maybe with us here?" Remus asks curious, "This is a safe place."
"Um, maybe." Harry admits, "I've been trying to figure out for a while how I feel and I think I do like you as more than a friend and I'd like to explore that. If you're willing." Harry says, looking at Neville, sounding uncertain.
"I am; I want that too." Neville says with a smile.
"Well, if either of you have questions you can come to us anytime, and um…." Sirius says, looking awkward while he looks to Remus for help.
"When you're ready to take the next step there are spells, safety spells, that we can teach you." Remus says, realising what Sirius was about to say, and as he does Harry and Neville look incredible embarrassed.
"Thanks." Harry mutters, "Um, we might head back to the tower." Harry says, standing up.
"Yeah, that sounds good." Neville says standing up.
"Okay, detention is at nine thirty. Tell the others." Remus says.
"Yep." Harry says and he and Neville hurry out of the room.
"So Harry and Neville." Sirius says as he and Remus leans back on the couch.
"We both seen the signs for months." Remus reminds him as he leans back on the couch too.
"True, but I thought it would take them a while longer to act on their feelings, like us, and both of their parents." Sirius comments.
"We don't know what lead to the kiss, maybe they didn't exactly act on it. A dare could have been involved." Remus points out.
"Maybe." Sirius says and the two of them drift into silence, both hoping that they can help Neville and Harry in a way they both needed but never had at their age.
A couple of minutes after Harry and Neville left Sirius and Remus's quarters they walk into the Gryffindor Common room where there is music playing and they find Hermione dancing with Fred, George dancing with Angelina, Dean and Seamus dancing together, and Lee, Katie and Alicia dancing too.
"Dance with me?" Harry asks sticking his hand out for Neville to take.
"Sure." Neville says with a smile as he takes his friends hand and the two of them go and join the others all eleven of them having a lot of fun as they enjoy each other's company.
