"So," Dumbledore said in a slightly firm tone. "What happened in Herbology, boys?"
"Goyle, Malfoy, and some other Slytherin prat-"
"Mr. Black," the elderly wizard warned.
"They… Remus and I… Snape-!" He paused, trying to calm down. "Rem and I were in the library. And we kissed," he quickly looked down, blushing and avoiding Dumbledore's eyes.
"I know very well of your's and Mr. Lupin's relationship. Continue."
"It was unplanned… and Snape. Snape saw us, and he went off about how disgusting we were and about Remus being a wolf and then Herbology, those three starting spouting off about us being trash and the called Rem a low-life and I freaked and I just threatened them and then Bellatrix stuck her ugly face in it! And she called him a 'you-know-what' and a 'creature' and then they questioned what she meant and she started to say it and I panicked!"
Dumbledore sat calmly, and sighed. "So, Miss Black and Mr. Snape we're both out of turn. But Sirius, you can't go cursing someone over their rudeness."
"But Sir," James cut in. "If Sirius hadn't cut in, I honestly feel like she would have told everyone."
"I understand that, Mr. Potter. But that doesn't mean Mr. Black's actions can go unpunished. I'm afraid you'll have to serve detention. As of late, we've been struggling with all the first years' practice brooms. I think that, for your punishment, you will need to extensively fly each of the brooms around the quidditch pitch. Seeing that both Mr. Potter and Mr. Pettigrew were involved, they will be required to help you. As will Mr. Lupin, because this fiasco happened in part because of him. Tomorrow afternoon at six pm will do. Safe flying," Dumbledore told them, a twinkle in his eye. "You may go."
Just then, McGonagall entered the room. "I've given Bellatrix and Lucious detention. I informed Mr. Malfoy that he will be doing lines with me tomorrow evening, and then I dismissed him. As for Miss Black, she will be waking up incredibly early tomorrow morning to scrub down Moaning Myrtle's bathroom without magic, using just a toothbrush and cotton swabs. She knows any further mention of Mr. Lupin's condition will result in her expulsion."
As the boys left the room, Sirius chuckled and said to James quietly, "Stupid bitch. They should make her do it with her tongue."
With the hint of a smirk, McGonagall scolded him, "We'll have none of that, Black."
The three snickered as they left. Once they were out of ear shot and on their way back to the dormitory, Sirius turned to his friends once more. "I wish you wouldn't have stopped me. A good curse would have done her good."
"Come on, Pads. Remus would have killed you. I'm saving you! You know how he feels about fighting."
"She would have deserved it, though," Peter squeaked.
"Hell yeah!" Sirius exclaimed, high-fiving the rounded boy.
They approached the Gryffindor common room. "Password?" The Fat Lady said in her normal, regal tone.
"Cornish Hens," James said. As they climbed through, he continued talking. "All's I'm saying is the detentions and Moony's wrath wouldn't have been worth it, mate."
"Speaking of, I'm going to go check on him." Sirius made for the stair smiling and bowing as his fellow Gryffindors bellowed comments at him about the day's previous duel. When he reached the door, quietly, he slid it open. "Rem?" he whispered. Silence. So he tiptoed over to where the sleeping lycan slept and quietly pulled back the curtains of his four-poster. Remus lay there sleeping, tanged in the sheets and blanket. Sirius smiled, seeing how calm the boy looked, but the smile fell as he noticed the deep scratch across his forehead. He pulled out his wand, mumbling a quick healing spell. Remus didn't stir. Gently, he brushed the hair away from the now reddened spot and kissed it.
"Mmm," the wolf mumbled. His eyes fluttered open and he gazed up at Sirius. "Mmm… Siri?"
"Sorry, love, I didn't mean to wake you."
"Cuddle?" He asked simply. Sirius smiled and nodded, crawling into bed with him. "Did I hurt anyone, Sirius?"
"No… no, Rem. You didn't hurt anyone."
He felt the boy next to him sigh in relief. "Good. How was class today?"
"You should sleep darling… rest up before dinner," he said, with a quick change of subject.
"Sirius," He repeated. "What happened in class?"
"Uh… Remus. You're tired. We could talk about this la-," but he was cut off.
"Now."
Sirius sighed, realizing he wasn't avoiding the subject. "Look, Malfoy and his goons were talking about us— you! And then Bellatrix called you a creature and she almost told them! And I tried to curse her, but she blocked it so I disarmed her, then James and Peter dragged me off her, and Merlin! I would have killed her!" Carefully, he avoided Remus' eyes. "Please don't be pissed. I was just— I mean, she— look, we all got detention, all four of us…"
"Four?" Remus demanded. "What the hell? I've never gotten detention! I wasn't even there!"
"We have to fly. It's no big deal. I'm… I'm sorry. Just, the shit they said! And that bitch. Merlin, I just hate her so much! And for her— for any of them! To ever say anything about you. Blimey, Rem… I couldn't handle it. I'm so sorry."
"You... you defended my honor?" Remus squeaked. The embarrassed boy nodded. "Remind me too be mad at you later," he said, and then pulled Sirius in to a long, passionate kiss. Immediately, his hand snaked inside the other boy's trousers, causing Sirius to moan softly.
"R-Remus, oh…" The wolf's hand wrapped around the dark-haired boy's already erect cock, stroking it slowly at first, and then speeding up. Sirius moaned more, gasping and sighing. "Shit, Rem, oh! Please!" His hips bucked wildly as he begged and pleaded. He made a deep, moaning sound and bit his bottom lip to keep himself from crying out as he came into Remus' hands. "Merlin, oh! Rem…"
"You," Remus whispered against his ear, "are my hero."
