Chapter 12 – Waking Remus up

Remus was in the state between sleeping and wakening when he heard voices.

"Don't you think we should wake him up?" it was James' voice

"I think he needs the sleep" Sirius said "On the other hand, the little striver might kill us if we're responsible for him missing another day of school" he added.

Remus considered moving as he heard Sirius approaching, but he didn't really want to. His bed was too soft and warm.

"Reeeemus" Sirius softly said. Remus could hear James and Peter in the background, laughing at his mother-like tone.

Sirius ignored them "Reeeemus" he tried again. Causing Remus to snuggle into his blanket and James and Peter to burst into another giggle-fit.

"Remus" Sirius said a bit more urging. Remus didn't move.

"Oh for Christ's sake" Sirius said angrily. He shouted: "Remus!" and tore off his blanket. This made Remus move, as he realised that he hadn't put anything on after removing his clothes the night before.

Remus quickly grabbed the blanket with a loud "Give it back" and it developed into a tug of war. Ending with Remus falling triumphantly onto the floor with his blanket. "Ha" he said with a smug expression, before absenting to the bathroom.

Remus was pretty sure that Sirius had allowed him to win their little fight, considering that Sirius was way stronger and a bit bigger than Remus.

Remus felt about twenty times better than the day before. He also looked better he thought, as he looked in the mirror. His hair was a mess, but his skin had more colour and his eyes were brighter than usual.

"Come out you little prat, I'm not planning on missing breakfast because of you" Sirius shouted, hammering on the door. If Remus hadn't known Sirius as well as he did, he would've thought that Sirius was furious and feared that he would knock the door in. This was why people tended to avoid Sirius, Remus thought with a sigh, as he pulled on his dressrobes. Sirius had a hard time controlling his emotions and he always exaggerated it.

"Calm down, Pad, I'm done" Remus said as he opened the door, almost walking in to Sirius "Happy?"

"Yes" Sirius grumpily said.

"Oh, cheer up, will ya?" James said, patting Sirius on the back as they went.

The marauders walked down the stairs, chatting merrily. Suddenly James said: "Where are we going first on Saturday? Zonko's? Honeydukes?" Remus made an ehmm… noise, that made James stop and look at him "What?" James asked.

Remus uncomfortably pressed his foot down the white marble "I'm not coming with you" he said.

"Why? Aren't you feeling well?" James worriedly said.

"No, no, I'm fine" Remus assured them "I'm just going with Amy"

"That's cool, then we'll just go together, all of us," James merrily said, starting to walk again.

"No" Remus said, receiving a quizzical look from James "I'll go with Amy, just Amy" Remus continued. As the look on James face changed to a sly one, Remus regretted telling them, on the other hand he couldn't really have avoided it.

"Oh…" James said, "I didn't knew that Amy and you were…" he said, the grin on his face growing wider.

"We're not" Remus exclaimed, cursing his burning red cheeks.

"Of course you're not" James said with a smug look and started to hum a muggle wedding song.

"Is there any way you can get more immature?" Remus said in an annoyed tone. James was impossible.

"Nope" James said, still grinning, Peter joined in on the humming.

Sirius had a look of murder on his face.

It had most definitely not been wise to tell them about going to Hogsmeade with Amy, but if that was what they wanted to think, let them, Remus thought.

I know I said this would be about the trip to Hogsmeade, but the fluff got me. Oh the fluff :3
