Hey! Decided to post this, I wrote it for sweet el spamola, as a thank you (though it’s no where near good enough) for the video she made me! I love it so much, thanks sweetie! It’s fluff basically, because I just don’t want to even attempt angst! Feedback is always appreciated loved and snuggled.
Okay, well I’m writing this in my newly acquired diary of “Memories worth Keeping” on the basis that some Wench, who also goes by the name of Evans, is right about my old mind, and I shall end up, quote: “an old doddery rock loving nutter, who can’t even remember where he left his false teeth!” (note to self: Make sure to hex wench at next opportune moment, preferably when Prongs is not around to bear witness and proceed to hex my ass in return.)
As this is for memories, which I fancy remembering, I have decided to write last night as my first entry, because basically it was one of the happiest nights of my life. So if there is a remote chance that my brilliant mind will diminish, which makes said wench right (oh that pains me!) and I do become “an old doddery rock loving nutter” at least I’ll be a well prepared “old doddery rock loving nutter” who can still bloody well read! (not so sure about my handwriting though…)
June 21st 1979
Sitting in the squishy armchair by the fire in the Gryffindor common room, I looked at my watch, noticing it had gone past three in the morning, I yawned. In Remus’s opinion sane people should be asleep at such a time, but then I’ve always prided myself on being, how does Dumbledore put it? Oh yeah, ‘different’.
Rubbing my eyes tiredly, I mentally cursed those three stupid fourth year girls and their endless gossiping, which had delayed my most fantastic Moony idea ever! Idiots.
I always enjoy my ideas involving Remus, I’m also a big fan of his ideas! Last week springs to mind: The naughty halo wearing devil that he is, persuaded me to break rules shock-horror, and dragged me practically wailing about detention all the way to the empty Prefects bathroom (Boy, it’s times like those that makes me proud he’s a goodie to shoes in class, ah if only they knew the truth..) the bath had been conveniently filled with bubbles galore, the love of my life then proceeded to (lets keep this clean) snog me senseless, ahhh good times… Anyway, wrong memory, where was I?
Oh yes.
This new plan which I had concocted for about a whole year, inspired a new feeling which my many other ideas had not: trepidation, and if I’m honest with myself, downright bloody fear!
Standing up and grabbing my school bag, filled with ‘supplies’, I slung it over my shoulder, went to the boy’s stairs and took them two at a time.
Reaching the seventh year Marauders dorm, I stopped dead outside the door.
‘Shit, am I really going to do this?’
I could feel a tremble run down my spine; giving myself a quick shake for being a wimp, I decided there was no backing out now.
I pushed the door open as silently as possible, wincing when Pete’s obscene and I’m convinced in-human like snoring hit my ears (I honestly don’t know how the hell we sleep through that!).
Scanning the darkened room, I checked to see that James was also asleep, you could never be to sure with that sneaky bugger. I found to my relief a typical Prongs, sprawled across the bed, drooling on his duvet (Yuck!) the lazy twat hadn’t even bothered to remove his glasses!
Silently as my large feet allowed, I crept along the dorm till I reached my boyfriend’s (love saying that) bed by the window; he loves the fresh air, apparently.
(I might add, though I have no need to, for I’ll have my Moony when I’m “an old doddery rock loving nutter” anyway, but just in case the old mind does goes: Looking at Remus is probably above everything-except him moaning in pleasure- my favourite thing in the world. No wait, it’s actually kissing him. No hold on, it’s probably cuddling him, oh! Nibbling on his earlobe, he makes the most adorable little giggle! Alright, so fine. Looking at Remus is one of my favourite things in the world! Anyway, I’m doing it again, where was I? God, wench was right, I’m going senile already! breathe Sirius breathe…..
He’s beautiful my Moony is. Truly unique. I looked at him lying with his face turned towards mine, the waning moonlight hitting gently across his soft skin, illuminating his hair, which I have the pleasure of being able to run my hands through. I feel my stomach do its usual back flip: an excited, nervous sort of feeling, I suppose you could call it. It still takes me by surprise after two years together! Can’t believe I’ve held on to someone as precious as him.
My timing was bad, it was only the first night after the full moon, the moon this month hadn’t been too bad, and I had to do this soon, or 1) my nerve was going to fail me, or 2) we would leave school in a week, and I’d not have asked, therefore ending up on my own. He knew I’d bought the flat, it was time to tell him why.
Leaning over him, I bent down, caressing his lips with my own. Those lips are incredibly soft, especially for a boy! I love them. Love him.
Remus opened his lovely amber eyes, I stood up straight to get a better look at him. Once he had come to, he saw me and thankfully smiled, despite my having woken him.
“Pads, it’s late. What’s wrong love? Do you want to sleep here, you’re always welcome, you know that.” Remus said, sleepily, clearly confused a to why I hadn’t just slipped in to my side of the bed (left side to be precise) with him, like always.
“No love, nothing’s wrong. I was actually hoping you would accompany me on a night time stroll down by the lake, followed by a three hour late midnight feast?” I said, in my winning, charming voice. My heart was thumping quite badly, despite my apparent ease, I knew he’d fine this idea of mine complete madness.. Nothing new there then.
More awake now, he turned his head fully to the right where his alarm clock was perched on his bedside cabinet.
“Sirius! It’s ten past three in the morning! Are you going a little wonky again? Sorry love. Didn’t mean that. Can’t we leave this for another night? Only I don’t feel up for much walking anyway.” He said, despairingly.
This wasn’t good.
“But Remus, this is really important! Leave it for another night? We only have one week left of school! Besides your not going to be walking, what I meant to say was: Accompany me on a night time stroll of which I shall happily carry you down to the lake! Please Remus, pleasepleaseplease” putting on my whiny voice, always a sure winner to weaken Remus’ resolve, but just incase, I bent down so he could see my face, turning on the sure fire tatic which would crumble his weakened resolve completely: the puppy eyes, he loves them.
Hearing his sigh, I grinned.
Pulling back the covers, Remus sat up gingerly. Knowing he was hurting, gave me a twinge of guilt for dragging him out of bed, but when I saw him smile up at me, raising his arms, I smiled back.
Pulling him gently to his feet, I reached out and grabbed the robe lying at the bottom of the bed. Once I had helped him pull it over his head, I wrapped him in his cloak, which I had retrieved from the cupboard.
He never spoke one word during this, but once dressed, he said:
“Lead on my dear Padfoot”
I could hear the amusement in his voice, secretly he always loves my crazy whim ideas; hopefully he’ll love this one too.
“But I’m carrying you, come here” I commanded.
“No Way love, thanks for the offer and I get it that I’m probably a little more ‘girl like’ than you, if you will, but carrying moi is taking things a bit too far! I’ll walk if that’s alright” said Remus, determined, but still amused.
I grinned, trying my best not to laugh at his accepting the more feminine role in our relationship, not that he had a bloody choice mind. His own best friend is said wench I mentioned earlier. He is just so sweet, I love his determination in everything he does, but I was worried that this would set his health back.
“Are you sure love? I don’t mind. I would actually rather enjoy giving you one of those muggle lifts, James gave Lily, fireman’s lift I believe they call it” winking suggestively at him.
He sighed exasperatedly, taking my hand and actually leading me out of the room. I had ‘borrowed-without permission’ Jamie’s detention-saving cloak earlier and retrieved it from my bag, once we had both climbed out of the portrait hole.
Under the safety of the cloak, I made sure my pace was a slow one, hopefully that would avoid Remus getting tired too quickly. Maintaining a grip on his left hand, with my right, I used my free hand and muttered “lumos” enabling us to see where the hell we were going!
Once out of the castle, we felt we could breathe properly again. From the corner of my eye, I watched my gorgeous boyfriend shiver slightly as the night air hit his lovely face, it might be June, but it was still chilly this late at night.
“What have you got planned Pads” asked Remus, as we stopped by the Lake’s edge.
“No not yet, it’s a surprise love.” Pressing a soft kiss to the tip of his nose.
He smiled and asked no more questions. I felt my stomach swirl once more. God, I love the boy so much!
Letting go of his hand, I folded Jamie’s cloak which we had taken off once the castle was no longer in view, tucked it neatly back in my bad, and took out my ‘supplies’. I unfolded one of the blankets I had brought and lay it down on the grass for Remus to sit on, which he promptly did; all the while he gazed up at me as I was laying out our little feast. (really it was only chocolate cake, and butterbeer, but it’s the thought that counts!)
“mmmm. Chocolate cake? I love you Pads!” said Remus, dreamily.
“Only the best for my precious Moony” smiling at him fondly. He really was precious to me.
Once I had finished displaying our ‘feast’ to him, which the greedy git had proceeded to start eating, I flopped down beside him, noticing the look of pleasure in his pretty amber eyes, as he licked the remaining chocolate from his fingers. I wished he wouldn’t, it was distracting me in certain areas that had to play nice at that moment in time. Remain focused Sirius. I tried to eat cake, but I just could not: I was feeling sick with nerves now.
Remus spoke first:
“I love you Sirius” He said, matter of factly.
I was taken rather by surprise at his suddenness, but felt my heart leap as always at hearing those words come from the boy who made my life complete. Now was the best time to say what I had in mind.
Fumbling for the right words, I realised this was going to be a lot harder than I had truly anticipated, I was almost on the verge of backing out, when his curious eyes looked questioningly back at me. It all poured out of me in a rushed haste:
“I love you too Remus, you know that, right? I do. More than anything. I couldn’t live without you. Don’t want to live without you. Really love you. I want to take care of you, protect you, because I’ve never adored anyone the way I do you, and I know your te one. I don’t know much about soul mates, but if it means finding the one you wish to spend the rest of your life with, then I know I’ve found mine. It’s you. God, I sound like such a fool don’t I? What I’m trying to say is and I suppose not doing such an articulate job at it: Remus Lupin, I love you with all my heart, you make me want to be the best person I possibly can for you, I want to spend everyday until my last breath trying to make you happy. Remus, when we leave Hogwarts, will you move in to the flat with me? I bought it for us both.” I stopped, I couldn’t have went on any further, my lungs needed vital air.
Remus looked simply stunned. Reaching my hand up, I caressed his face, stroking his cheeky with my thumb. Looking into his eyes, I whispered once more:
“I love you”.
Watching him blink several times, I started to get really concerned by his lack of speech, but just as I was considering drowning myself in the convenient lake, he threw his arms around my neck!
Falling back, he landed on top of me; looking up into his face, I felt my own face light up with happiness when I saw him gracing me with his most beautiful smile, the one he uses for me only, when I’ve been a very good pup.
“Yes Sirius! Yes I’d love to move in with you!” he was practically quivering with excitement.
Lifting my head up slightly, our lips met in a passionate kiss. Rolling him gently on to his back, never breaking our kiss, my tongue gently probed for entrance into his mouth, which he gave immediately, much to my pleasure. I slid up his small body, resting chest on chest, feeling his heart hammering as hard as my own.
Eventually our passion had calmed to soft, loving kisses, between murmurs of love and forever promises. Our hearts finally regulating, beating in rhythm with one another.
Afraid of lying on top of his bruised body for too long, I eased myself off him, hearing his displeased whimper, I smiled and sat up:
“Hold on love, I won’t be a sec” standing up and going over to the tree where I had left my bag under, I retrieved the spare blanket.
“See you’ve thought of everything” Remus said, sighing contentedly, as I draped the blanket over his shivering body.
“Naturally. Whatever did you expect? I am Sirius Black after all.” I grinned mischievously.
“Yes, that you are. Truthfully I never expected this. I hoped, but as we only have one week left, I figured you’d rather we didn’t live together, at least until you had some space to yourself first.” Remus looked away apologetically, as he said this.
“Sorry” he whispered.
Lying back down, I slipped under the covers next to him; taking his head with my right hand, I lifted it lightly, managing to slip my left arm under, laying his head back down gently, I tucked his delicate body into mine, kissing him upon his mop of golden brown hair.
“I’m the one who should be sorry, it took me so damn long to work up the courage. It’s a really nerve wracking thing to do you know! I was worried that you might not want to leave your parents just yet, I know how much you miss them when you’re here, and I was….” Cut off, that’s what I was! Moony had raised a finger to my lips, evidently to shut me up.
“I only want you love.”
Our eyes locked as he said the thing my heart desired. Feeling my happiness bubble up inside, I wanted to explain to him how happy this made me, how much I’d longed to hear it; hell I even wanted to discuss bedroom colours!
I watched his sparkling eyes droop slightly with exhaustion, realising my thoughts could be put on hold, I simply tucked him more securely in my arms, murmuring, “that’s good enough for me angel.”
“Love you Pads”
“Love you Moony”
Enveloped in my arms Remus fell asleep. Knowing full well it was going to be a nightmare trying to get back into the castle without being caught, I honestly couldn’t really have cared less.
This was it. My life now truly begins with this angel beside me. Heaving a contented sigh, I closed my eyes and dreamt of our new life together.
