“Hey,” Remus smiled, lifting his head from his knees.

“I wonder why Padfoot always brings me here?” Sirius mused, feeling huge and ancient. Remus, aged seventeen, cocked his head and made room on his four-poster. Sighing, Sirius transformed and clambered into Remus’ lap.

“We were happy here,” Remus whispered. Sirius focused on long hands in his fur. He could smell old cotton and fresh soap, cinnamon on Remus’ breath and chocolate on his fingers.

With his eyes closed, Sirius almost forgot the hard stone - the damp mildewing in his fur. The dark faded with the cold, and he wasn’t alone.
