Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gryffindor Boys' Dorm, September 15, 1977…

Remus gripped his pillow tighter, muttering in his sleep as something poked him in the shoulder again, a feminine "Remus" hissing at him.

"Remus, wake up," she said, making him frown at her.

"Nuh-huh," he grumbled.

"I'll jump on you," she threatened.

"Don't care."

He heard the springs creak and felt the mattress dip before somebody landed on his back, making the air rush out of his lungs as his eyes flew open.

"I'm up!" he wheezed as she laughed and got off of him. "Jesus, Hermione…you're so little, how do you break my ribs?"

She only laughed a little and moved over to James's bed, poking him on the nose, "Jamesie, time to get up." As he groaned and shoved his head up under the pillow, she rolled her eyes, "I'll jump on you too."

"Go ahead, make my day," he said, rolling over onto his back as she climbed up on the mattress as well. Right when she was about to dive into his stomach though, he sat up and threw her into the next bed, knocking the wind out of her as she was caught by somebody before they both fell into the floor.

James and Remus both laughed as Peter snorted awake and sat up, blinking around to find Hermione and Sirius on the floor and blinking at each other.

"Merlin's pants, Granger!" he smirked at her, "If you wanted to get into bed with me, all you had to do was ask!"

She wrinkled her nose and punched him in the chest, standing up to glare at James, "You two are prats."

"You know, you could've just flipped me off," James grinned, "Less time, same message."

"You want me to do it now?"

"Yes." He stood and waited for her to do so, while she only glared at him before turning to Remus.

"So, stars," she clapped her hands, rocking back on her heels, "I need help with them and you promised me."

"All of us?" Peter yawned.

"No, Petey, just Remus…and then James asked if he could come because he needs helps…and Sirius is coming for whatever reason," she looked dully at him as he stood from the floor and grinned cheekily at her, "And Black – please put on a shirt."

"Why? Distracting you?" he grinned wider as she rolled her eyes, padding back to the door and grabbing her books.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" she questioned, making the three boys sigh and wave to Peter before they headed out, James grabbing his Invisibility Cloak as well.

"That's Orion, see?" Remus questioned, pointing up from the balcony before Sirius popped up in between him and Hermione, making the girl blink as he slipped an arm around her shoulders.

"And that one over there is me," he said brightly before waving at the Dog Star, "Hi me!"

"Sirius," James sighed, rolling his eyes as he frowned at the telescope.

"Yes, that is my name," he grinned before noticing his glare and sighed, flopping onto the cold stone floor to stare at the stars before shivering. He turned and saw that Granger was wearing shorts and a jacket and was very much barefoot. "How the hell're you doing that?"

"Hmm?" she questioned, glancing back at him for a second before drawing on her chart once more.

"You're in shorts and you're barefoot."

"My feet are usually very warm. I hate wearing socks or staying underneath blankets," she shrugged before letting out a jaw-popping yawn.

She walked towards the arch that led from the tower to the balcony, sitting against the wide opening and leaning her parchment against her knees. She picked up her paper to match it against the sky, but when she went to replace it against her legs she was startled to find that Sirius's head was in her lap, his eyes closed and looking as if he were trying to fall asleep.

"Move," she ordered with a frown, making him quirk a grin and peek an eye open at her before getting comfortable again and closing the eye.

"You like it," he smirked.

"Fine. Stay there."

Wait, what? Hermione was letting him sit his head in her lap willingly?

Remus turned to make sure he'd heard that right before grinning when he saw that she'd put her parchment against Sirius's face to write on it, making his friend frown and have James chuckle at them.

"Quit twitching," Hermione told him with a grin.

"The quill is sinking into my skin," Sirius frowned.

"Not my problem!" she said cheerfully.

"I'll sneeze," he warned, "Mess up your whole paper."

"Shh," she shushed him instead, glancing back at the sky and placing a hand over his mouth, "I'm working."

James let out a loud laugh at the two, shaking his head and grinning as Remus rolled his eyes.

A few hours later, the two Marauders noticed how quiet it was and turned to see that both of them were asleep. James beamed and nodded Remus towards the door, who grinned and followed, leaving the two there.

Thunk. Thunk. "Prats!" she glared at them as James and Remus clutched their heads and grinned at her, watching as she walked over to Lily and sat down next to her, shaking her head and muttering.

Sirius popped up and grinned at them, "You guys rock."

"What'd she do?" James questioned.

"Shoved me off," he shrugged as he sat down, "But still – thanks."

"Oh, she'll hate me," Remus laughed, shrugging, "Oh well."
