Chapter 16

Sirius

For the Christmas holidays, I was staying with Remus. His parents had insisted that I stayed. Remus was fretting, as always. And it was really cute, as always. James was in detention with McGonagall, while Remus was pacing around the dorm, biting the middle of the nail and flesh of his right thumb, the rest of his fingers had curled into a fist. His left arm was wrapped around him, hand clutching his side. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, just watching him walk back and forth. After a couple of minutes, Remus stopped. His back was to me, but he still brought his hands up to hide his face. Smiling a little, I lifted myself off of my bed, and started to walk up behind him. I was quiet enough that he didn't hear me approach. I wrapped my arms around Remus from behind, causing him to jump and lower his hands before leaning back against me. He placed his arms over mine, and sighed slightly.

"You need to stop worrying so much." I whispered in his ear, before placing my chin on his shoulder gently.

"But..." he started.

"No buts, no ifs, no nothing. I may not be as smart as you, but I do know some things."

"I'm not saying you don't, it's just..."

"Nuh uh mister. No arguing with me."

Remus stayed quiet. I lifted my head to look at him, and he was pouting slightly. I smirked at the sight. Spinning him around in my arms, I placed Remus' bottom lip in-between my teeth, biting lightly. Remus smiled a little, and gave a small chuckle. I felt the vibrations go through me. Remus pulled back, removing my teeth from his lip.

"Still, I..." Remus started.

I leant forward and cut his rambling short by pressing my lips to his. I made sure not to be gentle, I wanted to bruise him and make him lose all brain function. Remus' arms wrapped around my neck, making it easier for me to use more force. I pulled back after a few minutes, both of us breathing heavily to catch our breaths.

"W-What was I s-saying?" Remus stuttered.

"Don't worry." I whispered, kissing his forehead gently. "We better finish up here. We won't have time tomorrow."

Remus nodded slowly, and together we finished packing for the holidays.

The ride to platform nine and three-quarters, the next day, didn't take as long as it normally did. It seemed like minutes after we got onto the train, it stopped at the station. But then, time flies when you're having fun with your friends.

"We'll see you two after the holidays." Lily smiled, hugging Remus and I.

"See ya guys!" James said.

"See ya!" Remus and I called as the two walked away.

Remus' hand slipped into mine, and I squeezed it gently. He was shaking slightly, his nerves getting the better of him.

"Everything will be fine." I told him. "No need to worry so much."

Remus gave a shaky smile.

"We better go, huh?" Remus breathed.

I nodded, giving him a small smile. It wasn't difficult to find Remus' parents, since the station wasn't as packed as usual. Both were wearing thick coats, gloves, hats and scarves, as well as snow boots. Looking Remus over and then looking down at myself, I noticed that Remus' parents had more sense. Remus and I had decided jeans, t-shirts, jackets and trainers...even I knew we made the wrong decision.

"Hey you two." Mrs Lupin smiled, hugging Remus and I.

I noticed that I still had hold of Remus' hand...but even if I wanted to I don't think I would have been able to let go.

"Hey mum." Remus breathed.

I gave the woman a warm smile, not really knowing what to say.

"Good school year so far?" Mr Lupin asked.

"Definitely." Remus replied.

I nodded, still smiling.

"Good. You both have everything?"Mrs Lupin asked.

"Yeah, we do." Remus replied.

"What are we waiting for then? Come on, it's freezing." Mr Lupin chuckled.

Remus and I walked behind his parents to the car. We stayed quiet. Remus was shivering, whether from the cold or not. Either way I still put my arm around his shoulders, still holding onto his left hand. Remus smiled slightly, sighing slightly.

"Are you ok?" Remus asked.

The question took me by surprise. He was the one that was shaking. He was the one getting nervous. Why was he asking me if I was alright?

"It's just...you're not usually this quiet. Even around my parents." Remus explained, noticing my confusion.

I let out a small sigh, the edge of my mouth curling up slightly.

"I'll be fine. Not used to this, that's all." I replied. "Are you ok?"

"Getting there. Slowly but surely." Remus chuckled.

"Good. I don't like you worrying."

I pressed my lips to his temple briefly. Remus had flushed pink at this point, not because of the cold, and eyes wide looking down at the floor. I was slightly confused for a moment before, reluctantly, looking in the general direction of Remus' parents. Both of them were smiling at us, standing by the car. I looked away from them and at Remus, probably as red as he was at that moment. Remus looked up at me and failed at hiding a laugh. I glared playfully at him, while he just smirked.

"Huh, never seen you smirk before." I said, raising my eyebrows, and pulling Remus closer into my side.

"Never seen you go so red before." Remus countered.

"Touché."

"Wow, such a big word for you."

"Oi! Geez, I really have been a bad influence on you!"

"But you love it."

"How can I argue with the truth?"

Remus and I laughed as we put our bags in the trunk of the car, and climbed in the back. I can't not begin to explain how good it felt to be in the warmth!

"This is going to be an interesting Christmas." I whispered in Remus' ear.

"You bet it is." Remus smirked.
