Chapter 8

It was time for James and Peter to go home for Christmas. Nearly all of the Gryffindors were going home for Christmas. They found out that only Sirius, Remus, Lily and a boy from third year called Stuart Mcraid were staying over Christmas.

This meant that Sirius and Remus would have the common room mostly to themselves for three weeks.

Like some other students, Sirius and Remus went down to the entrance hall to say goodbye to their friends. Sirius shook James' hand and then gave him a 'manly' hug but he ignored Peter.

"See ya mate, I promise I'll do that stewing"

"Ok, I'll get all those ingredients and I'll get some of the stuff that Peter's meant to get, I wrote it down twice" Sirius laughed

"Yeah you do that"

"Don't shag too much ok?"

"You joker"

"Yeah well, see ya then" Sirius nodded and then turned to go back upstairs when someone called his name.

"Mr Black could you step into my office please"

"Yeah" Professor McGonagall was the one that had called him; Sirius grabbed Remus and kissed him

"See you in the common room".

Sirius followed the Professor to her office and closed the door behind him "Sit down, Mr Black. Ginger nut?" Sirius sat as instructed but declined the offer as usual.

"I believe you and Mr Lupin have been seen together?"

"So what?"

"Well, I would like to know why your mother has been sending threatening owls to me and professor Dumbledore"

"I don't know, why don't you ask Mrs Black?"

"We have, she just sends even worst owls, and they are all about you"

"Blame saint Regulus"

"Why?"

"He was in my dorm, he was hiding, me and… Remus were… making… out"

"Oh, so he obviously owled your mother and told her what you were doing"

"I don't know I don't talk to her, why don't you ask Saint Regulus"

"I will talk to your brother, and I understand that you do not have contact with your mother or father"

"Can I go back to my common room now?"

"Yes you may, also, I would like to know why your grades in transfiguration have dropped, I would have expected you to get an O in your OWLs but I'm not sure with your grades at the moment you could get that"

"I will try harder, I've been a bit distracted at the moment, after Christmas, I'll be ok"

"Good" Sirius got up and left the office.

Sirius got back to the common room to see Remus lay in front of the fire writing an essay, he had already written what looked like five feet of miniscule writing. Sirius watched Remus for a while; he looked at a book and wrote another foot before Sirius made a noise to enounce his presence.

"Oh, hi" Remus smiled up from his parchment

"Who's the novel for?"

"It's my essay for Flitwick, shouldn't you be doing yours?"

"Errrrr… no" Remus shook his head in disbelief

"What did professor McGonagall want?"

"Why my so called mother has been threatening her and Dumbledore? Why my brother was in the Gryffindor tower? And why my grades have been failing?"

"And why have your grades been failing?"

"Trust you to pick that one"

"Well. How have your grades been falling?"

"I've been… distracted"

"What with?"

"My, feelings" Remus rolled his eyes

"Why?"

"Stop with the questions Remus"

"Fine" Sirius walked up to Remus and lay down next to him. He pushed the roll of parchment out of Remus' way and put his head where the parchment was, Remus smiled and leant down to kiss Sirius, and their lips collided, with a frenzy of passion and neediness.

Sirius put his hand to the back of Remus' head and pulled it closer to him. Remus opened his eyes to see Sirius' eyes closed, Sirius opened his eyes half way, pushed Remus slightly away to break the kiss and smiled.

The lust was evident in his eyes and was written all over his face "I love you"

"Siri, I love you too" Sirius smiled.

Remus stood up and pulled Sirius up with him.

"Come on" Remus lead Sirius up the stone steps to there dormitory. Remus pushed open the door and they both went in. Remus lay on his own bed, Sirius realised what he wanted to do, but knew it was not exactly what Sirius wanted, but it was good enough for his liking, knowing Remus was not ready.

Sirius lay down on his back next to Remus on his bed. Remus shifted onto his side so he could see Sirius clearly, he put his hand to Sirius' chest and travelled down. He stopped at Sirius' belt.

Remus started to undo the belt. Sirius looked down at Remus' hand fiddling with his belt "You, don't have to"

"I can read you like a book Siri, you need some kind of stimulation, doing it by yourself, doesn't always work" Sirius allowed Remus' hand to slide into his boxers

"Remus" Sirius breathed

"I'm going to make this clear; I'm not ready for sex"

"I know, I know, and I respect that, and I am going to say, stop me when I'm making you feel uncomftable, or' Sirius pulled Remus' hand out from his boxers 'you're doing something for me that you don't want to do" Sirius kissed Remus.

Sirius put Remus' hand on his chest and Sirius put his own hand on Remus' ass. Sirius shifted so he was also on his side facing Remus "But…"

"I mean it Remus; if you're doing something I know you're not comftable with, I will stop you, even if I'm desperate, your needs come first"

"Sirius… I don't know what to say"

"Tell me you won't do something you're uncomftable with"

"I… ok, ok, I promise" Sirius smiled and moved onto his back.

Remus rested his head against Sirius' chest
