A/N: Thanks to all those people who've reviewed so far. I hope you do the same for this chapter
Dedicated to Lady-Brandylynn, Queenlover, Sassymel and Draco's huni for all getting the Jane Austen quote right in Autumn Leaf. Well done.
Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Harry Potter or the books in Remus's trunks. I have read them though. Very funny.
OOOOOO
Chapter 3 – Forgiveness Muffin
Sirius picked himself up off the floor and at once started pacing. How on Earth was he going to get Moony to forgive him? Looking up he spotted the muffin splat on the wall opposite and was instantly inspired. Maybe the one thing that had ruined everything could finally fix it. With a hoot of delight he sprang over to the dormitory door and off down the stairs.
Four hours later Sirius was finished. The fruit of his labours spread out strategically on Remus's bed. Suddenly he was hit by a wave of tiredness and was fighting to keep his eyes open. Realising that he was losing the battle he stumbled over to his own bed and flopped down on it, falling asleep instantly.
OOOOOO
Remus raised his wand and tried to summon his hair brush. After a few moments of waiting he decided that it wasn't going to come. With a small sigh of annoyance he heaved himself up off the Shack's rickety bed and picked James's invisibility cloak up off the floor. The journey back to the castle was slow and slightly painful as his night on a lumpy mattress had done the muscles in his back no good.
Eventually Remus found himself back on the Gryffindor boy's staircase, standing nervously next to his dorm door. Pushing it open a tiny crack he peered inside, Sirius was sprawled on his bed, fast asleep, snoring quietly.
With a small sigh if relief, Remus stepped into the room and quietly shut the door behind him, determined not to wake Sirius. He carefully padded over to his trunk and began rummaging inside it.
The brush was eventually located between Remus's collection of Barry Trotter books and a spare set of potion ingredients.
Just as Remus placed his hand on the dormitory door he was hit by the unmistakeable scent of chocolate. Wondering how he could have missed it in the first place, Remus turned and began sniffing. He was led back to his own bed where five chocolate muffins sat waiting.
Bending down to examine them, Remus saw that someone had painstakingly drawn on top of them in pink icing. A crescent moon adorned the first muffin followed by a plus sign, a paw print, an equals sign and finally a love heart.
Remus felt a like a happy balloon had inflated inside his chest and there was nothing he could do to stop the happy grin spreading over his face.
Turning round to look at Sirius his arms hands and face were covered in chocolaty smudges. A wicked thought popped into his head and an evil grin spread over his face. Moving to stand beside Sirius's bed he considered Sirius for a moment before lowering himself onto the bed next to him and starting to gently lick the chocolate of his face.
Moments later Sirius's eyes snapped open and he stared at Remus in shock. They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity before Sirius gave a cry of delight and flung his arms round Remus's neck, leaning over to kiss him.
This, thought Remus as Sirius moved to lie on top of him, is the best feeling of my life.
Suddenly the dormitory door banged open and James strode into the room.
"Pads, I think-" James stopped short, frozen to the spot by the sight of his two best friends snogging "I ... erm … I'll just… err… lots of work… yeah, uh, bye."
James backed hurriedly out of the room. As the door swung shut behind him Sirius gave a bark like laugh then pecked Remus on the cheek and stood up.
Remus whimpered involuntarily at the loss of contact and Sirius laughed again. He darted away and returned seconds later holding the five muffins.
"Eat one," Sirius encouraged, holding one out.
"But, Sirius, I want a kiss," moaned Remus, knowing he sounded like a child and hoping it worked to his benefit.
"Please," Sirius begged, puppy eyed and pouting, beating Remus hands down "I made them all by myself just for you."
"Wouldn't you rather-"
"We're not going to do anything until you've eaten at least one of these muffins," said Sirius, froning in an attempt to look commanding.
"Okay, a bit of advice for the future, Sirius. Don't come between a love struck werewolf and his Padfoot."
And with that he leapt straight at Sirius, unceremoniously pinning him to the floor and squishing the muffins between them. For a moment Remus felt a pang of regret for the wasted chocolate but quickly decided that Sirius taste so much better than a chocolate muffin ever could. And that was a lot coming from a chocoholic.
OOOOOO
A/N: There we go. That's the end. If it seems a little strange that's because I was on holiday when I wrote this and was most likely suffering from sunstroke. And i couldn't resist having the last word as chocoholic. Corny, I know. Please tell me what you think. :D
