Harry walked into his first period class, did a beeline for his desk and stared at his hands that were in his lap the entire class, only looking up once. That look was enough Lupin was staring at him with a worried look on his face. Five minutes before the end of class a note was dropped on his desk: "See me during your free period -Remus P.S If it's about the maturity thing, stop worrying. No one's going to jump you, Harry." Harry's face went redder than his jumper's crest and he quickly left the room when the bell rang.

The day seemed to go all too quickly and soon Harry found himself outside the door to Professor Lupin's room. He took a deep breath in and then he opened the door.
"Ah, Harry, I was just starting to wonder." Remus said with a smile as he bent down to grab two bottles out of the fridge. "Butterbeer?"
Harry nodded and took the offered drink. "So, you wanted to see me Professor?"
"Cut the shit Harry. What the hell is going on with you the past couple of days?" Remus' face quickly got serious.
"I would rather not talk about it." Harry looked down at his hands. 'Look anywhere else!' his mind yelled at him.
"Well, that sucks because you are not leaving this room until you tell me what is going on in that head of yours!" Remus yelled.
Harry shrank back, he had only seen this side of the Professor when it was close to the full moon and that had been last week.
Remus massaged the bridge of his nose between two of his fingers. "I'm sorry for yelling at you Harry, but you are worrying me. You won't talk to me, you won't even look at me for Merlin's sake! If I pissed you off, I would really like to know about it!" Remus was practically begging him to talk to him and that just made Harry feel one hundred times worse than he already was.
Finally Harry broke. "I have been dreaming about you... and me... having sex, okay? I don't know why, but ever since Dumbledore talked to me about this whole Maturity thing, I keep dreaming about stuff like that..." Harry slowly trailed off.
Remus Lupin had rarely ever been left speechless in his life. This was one of those extremely rare times. "Oh, Harry." Remus said, shaking his head at the boy across from him.
"Go ahead, have a laugh." Harry scowled, getting up to leave, only to be stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
"Harry, I'm not going to laugh at you." Remus pulled on his shoulder so that he would turn around.
What happened next shocked the hell out of Harry. Remus had slowly leaned down and kissed him. On the lips. It wasn't one of those intense kisses that you always seem to read about in books or see in all of the movies. There were no sparks or realizations of love, He didn't suddenly fall for Remus with a snap of his fingers, it wasn't anything like that, it was just simply a slow pressing of two pairs of lips.
Harry's eyes fluttered closed as he slowly let himself fall into the kiss. Remus cupped the back of Harry's neck as he licked at Harry's bottom lip.
They kissed and kissed for a long time. Harry slowly let himself open up to Remus and soon Remus was lifting him up to sit him on the top of one of the desks, his hands resting gently on Harry's hips.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Remus pulled back. "Are you alright Harry?"
Harry nodded and leaned his forehead against the werewolf's, taking deep breaths and relishing the afterglow of the amazing kiss that they had just shared.
"Would you like to stay here tonight?" The older man asked hesitantly.
Harry thought about it for a moment before nodding his assent."Yes, I would like that very much."
Remus smiled as he took Harry's hand and led him to his private quarters. Harry's dream was about to come true and it would be better than he had ever thought it could be.
