Ghosts Make Better Lovers
"Hello."
Remus sat up quickly, pulling the blankets tightly around him. He started to panic - someone had worked out the tunnel and found him.
"Well," the voice said, taking on a haughty tone. "You could say hello back. It's not often I make an appearance after all, only to the privileged few."
Remus looked around fearfully, hoping that whoever it was didn't get a peek at his naked form. The scars were a dead giveaway.
"Don't worry about the blanket. I've seen it all before." Remus' gaze drifted up to where a ghost was watching. The ghost gave Remus an obvious wink. "Though not something like that. Almost makes me forget that you didn't greet me."
"H...Hi," Remus offered nervously, ensuring the ghost couldn't see anything.
The ghost's smile widened even more.
...oOo...
"Did you know that ghosts make the best lovers?"
Remus didn't open his eyes, he only smiled. "I'm sure they do."
"Yeah! I read it in a magazine. The Quibble or something. Some man wrote the article. Kinky stuff!"
Remus believed Sirius upon hearing the name of the strange newspaper that had started up. It would be just like the Quibbler to have that article.
"Very kinky."
"I knew you were the kinky sort," came a whisper in his ear causing Remus to chuckle. "Want to see if the article is telling the truth?"
"If I could actually touch you, I'd consider your offer," Remus replied, grinning at the ghost he had made friends with during his time at Hogwarts.
...oOo...
His first transformation after loosing his parents in a Death Eater raid. The wolf ripped Remus apart and he was too weak to even try and stop it.
As darkness took over, he heard his name being called frantically. It sounded… sounded like Sirius Black.
He'd give anything to see Sirius once more.
...oOo...
"Open your eyes, sleepyhead," came a whisper. Remus frowned and did as he was told, his eyes falling on Sirius. Was he in the shack?
No. Hogwarts was over for Remus. He tried to sit up but lost his balance and realised he hadn't actually been laying on anything in the first place.
"You can actually touch me now. Want me to prove that ghosts make the best lovers?" The heavy flirtation was there, but it didn't mask Sirius' upset.
"How?" Remus croaked out.
"Moony, you're dead," Sirius whispered, deciding to abandon all pretence. "You tell me."
"My parents… I lost them that morning and the wolf just ripped me to shreds."
"This morning…" Sirius hesitated. "Hope? Lyall?"
"You know them?"
Sirius' face lit up. "There were two ghosts here, searching for someone. That's how I found you. I didn't know they were your parents, I'm so sorry. But on the bright side, they're in the castle somewhere and we can finally touch." Before Remus could even reply, Sirius' body was against his and their lips were pressed together.
Well, being dead had its advantages, Remus decided, melting against Sirius' lips.
