PRIVATE ~ Severus' Blasted Gift
(OOC: This is late..I know...RL sucks sometimes...)
Present
SEVERUS SNAPE:
Severus stormed up to Lupin's office and knocked on the door. He did not wait for an invitation as he pushed it open and trudged over to the desk. "I have your Wolfsbane for the month ready." He hesitated and with a slight glare he thrust a small brackish vial into the Lycanthrope’s hand. "This is for your...birthday. It is Memoria Potion, enjoy." He turned on his heel and retreated into the shadows lest the werewolf thank him for his gift. Severus Snape did not take platitudes well.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus smiled a slight smile as Severus exited the room. "Memoria Potion, I haven't had any of this in years." Remus smiled as he remembered the last time he had been lucky enough to have some. This potion was so special and he knew what it took Severus to brew it just for him. Memoria potion let the taker remember totally one twelve hour period of the drinkers choosing. What a gift. Remus stood and carrying the vial with him he went to his chamber and made ready. He took the cork out of the bottle and with shaking hand lifted it to his lips.

SIRIUS BLACK:
"Moony...Moooooonnnnyyyyyy...psst, Moony wake up!" He crawled into Remus' bed, sticking his nose touching the young man's. "Come on, Prongs and Petey are already in the Great Hall eating lunch. We have so much to do before tonight...who naps in the afternoons anyway." His breath was brushing over Remus' face.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus opened one amber eye and looked at Sirius. "I sleep in the afternoon you wanker. And it is almost colder than a witch’s tit in this room. Why not just climb under the covers and warm me up?" Remus chuckled at his friend softly.
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius licked his lips and smiled, "Because if Prongs catches us in bed together again I think we'll both be sleeping in the common room." He then straddled Remus and began to shake the bed, "Moony, get up! We have to eat and then go down to the dungeons and we still need to nick those potions ingredients. You're wasting our valuable time. It's Saturday..."
REMUS LUPIN:
"Alright, alright I'm coming. Hold your whiskers.” Remus sat up and grabbed Sirius around the shoulders flipping him over on the bed to straddle him and briefly kiss his cheek with a glancing kiss before hopping out of bed and reaching for his clothes. "Prongs can sure be a prig sometimes. He could have joined us but noooooo not Mr. Prongs. Okay, I think I am ready, let's go eat."
SIRIUS BLACK:
He lounged on the bed, watching Remus gather his things. "Master Lupin, keep sneaking me kisses like that and I'll begin to believe that maybe you’re sweet on me." He shot him a wink before rolling over and landing on his feet. He stretched and grabbed the cross bar on the poster bed, hanging from hit slightly, his shirt lifting. "Prongs is so hung up on Evans that he wouldn't know a good time if it sat on his face and did the hula." He pulled one hand down and examined his nails. "Myself on the other hand, look forward to a good hula dance on my face."
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus laughed and then gave Sirius a playfully false gasp. "Me? Sweet on you? What in the world would give you that idea? And you could return a kiss ya know; a fellow could begin to feel unwanted." He laughed really loud then and snorted. "I think if Evans said jump Prongs would say, ‘Yes Ma’am how high?’” He sneered slightly and then snorted. "Hula on your face, huh? Well now I know what to get you for your birthday."
SIRIUS BLACK:
He walked over to Remus, licking his lips and running a steady hand thru this long shaggy hair and got within inches of his friend. "Return a kiss you say?" His breath was even but intense as he moved painfully slow toward Remus' lips.
JAMES POTTER:
"Are we interrupting something?" he asked with a snort. James had waited for the other half of the Marauders, but when they hadn't appeared he gave Lily a pathetic grin and quickly stuffed some rolls into his pockets and told Peter to follow him. The whole walk back he grumbled and complained about his friends and their lack of respect for time frames and windows of opportunity. Then to find them in this 'almost kissing' position just about iced his cake. Throwing himself on his bed and tossing rolls he growled, "I can't get Evans to notice me and you two aren't doing a thing to help the situation, ya know."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius pulled back when James spoke. He winked at Remus and then snatched the roll out of the air and plopped down on the foot of James' bed. "Oh you know we care Prongs. But you honestly can't blame us for your lack of animal magnetism. I mean, who's attracted to a stag? Wolves, yes...dogs...definitely. Rats...well, sorry Petey, no dice there either..." He took a bite of the roll and leaned on his elbow. "You guys are just screwed. And I don't mean in a good way."
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus pulled back from the almost kiss and hiding the frustration he felt right at that moment he snarled. "You two would screw up a wet dream.” He laughed to hide his true feelings. Then he plopped himself on the foot of the bed with his long legs swinging over the end. “James the lady has done everything but take you by your pecker and lead you to it. Do you need an interpretative dance to know she is interested? I mean sure wolves and dogs are sexier but you have got the girl just act on it. Wormy, sorry guy I gotta agree with Pads on that one rats and definitely a no go on the woman scale. All rats do is make them run for a big dog or a wolf." He threw up his slender hand. "What? No roll for me?"
PETER PETTIGREW:
Peter stayed out of the banter as much as he could .He liked the three larger and faster guys and was just happy they kept him around. Though, sometimes he wanted to scream at them to notice he was just as good as they were.
JAMES POTTER:
Tossing Remus a roll he snorted, "Evans could lead me anywhere by my pecker. I would follow her into Mt. Doom if she was the one tugging me." He absently ruffled his own hair, tossing his roll into the air and grabbing it like a snitch. "So, I have to ask, did Wormtail and I interrupt an almost or was that the after kiss from a dirty shag?"
SIRIUS BLACK:
"Dirty shag? I was gone for fifteen minutes. Give a bloke some credit!" He tore another bite off his roll and absently added, "It was a dirty handjob, right Moony?"
JAMES POTTER:
James blanched, "If I didn't know better I'd think you were serious. Well, you are but you know what I mean." He tossed his roll at Sirius' head. "So are we going to do this thing or not? I thought you were the one who wanted revenge on Snape."
SIRIUS BLACK:
At that Sirius growled, "Yeah, I want revenge. That little slimy rat bastard...sorry Petey...he thinks he can get away with turning my bodily fluids blue...well...I'll show him." He then smirked at James, "Oh, and have you stopped pissing blue yet?"
JAMES POTTER:
"Yes," he ground out. Being as how Sirius felt compelled to use him as a guinea pig to see what potions Snape had used, he too wanted revenge. "So what is your plan?"
PETER PETTIGREW
"Merlin guys, just because I am small and I am sometimes a bit of a well, geez do you have to sit on me all the time?" He looked at the others with a mock pout that was not at all endearing.
REMUS LUPIN:
“Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me Pads, I need to wipe off my hands before I tackle James for another one of those rolls I see peeking out of his pocket." He walked over and wiped his hands on Peter's robes. "Now that is better. Plan... hum what did I do with that plan. I thought you had it, Oh Great Master Planner." He winked at Sirius, "I will never tell anyone what you can do in fifteen minutes."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Leaning back on James' bed to look at Remus, he smiled. "Yeah, thanks Moony. You give great hand." He stretched again, this time his head and shoulders hanging off the bed. "Well, plan...um...I was thinking something along the lines of getting those potions ingredients from the lab and sabotaging the lesson for tomorrow so that all the Slytherin sixth years end up with red and gold hair. OR, we could charm all the Slytherin boys so that all their pants turn to knickers, black lacy knickers." He smirked, eyeing Remus and then rolled so he was leaning on James' leg. "Oh what about that idea you had...you know the one with the things..."
JAMES POTTER:
James snorted, "Your eloquence is frightening, but I know what you mean. I was toying with the idea of trying out some controlled weather spells. Namely, a tornado in the Slytherin Common room. What say you all?"
REMUS LUPIN:
"I say we do it all why not make the bastards have red and gold hair and black lace knickers. It would serve the greasy git right if his house were all the laughing stocks we know them to be anyway. And you are very welcome Sirius." Moony grinned his famous grin and leaned back upon the bed letting his long legs swing freely over the end.
PETER PETTIGREW
“I could get in the door and grab the ingredients if you want. Sometimes being small is good." He smiled at the other three.
SIRIUS BLACK:
"I knew I liked you for a reason, Petey. You're a thinking man." He looked up at James, "So yeah, Petey can get the ingredients. The man with the hands of silk can brew the potions, I can transform some cotton into black lace and you can work your God-like powers over Mother Nature." He rolled so he was facing the ceiling again. "That is if Evans gives you permission to use your wand. You know I don't mean the one in your pocket."
JAMES POTTER:
"Sounds brill, but who's going to kiss my arse to convince me to let you fools use my invisibility cloak? Who is going to distract Filch and most importantly, when do we leave?"
REMUS LUPIN:
"Well let's go. Petey, Oh Short One, kiss Mr. Potters arse so we can go. You are the shortest so it is not that big a leap for you. I might be tempted to bite his arse rather than kiss it and then he would like it and we would have to stay here all night. And what a tragedy that would be. Poor Lily." He laughed and pulled Sirius off the bed along with James.
PETER PETTIGREW
"I don't know why you think I would like to kiss his royal arse. Nope if you want that done you are going to have to do it yourself. I am willing to get the ingredients but not the rest." He looked at the trio and quivered slightly. They always did get him into trouble but he hated to be left behind.
SIRIUS BLACK:
"Come on Petey," he said, pulling an arm around his shoulder. "You know we wouldn't make you kiss Prong's arse. Who knows where it's been?" He ducked around Remus wrapping his arms around his slender waist as James took a swing at him. "You missed me, ya girl! No wonder Evans doesn't want you; she's got bigger balls..." He then ran down the stairs and thru the common room before James could catch him. He waited outside the portrait, looking suave and nonchalant.
JAMES POTTER:
James tried to punch at Sirius and instead, grabbed his invisibility cloak and tore after him. "If I catch you Padfoot I'll ream you a new one." He pushed past a third year and found Sirius leaning against the wall, looking like something out of a Muggle cigarette advert. He snorted at the site and collapsed against the wall, laughing.
REMUS LUPIN:
"Hey, no fair putting me in the middle of this" He drew in his breath sharply those arms felt really good around his waist. ~Snap out of it you fool or you will loose all your friends. ~ He tore out after the other two and ran smack dab into James who was doubled over laughing, tumbling them to the floor and knocking over the third year who like a fool had turned to follow them.
PETER PETTIGREW:
He raced after the others as fast as his short legs could carry him. He stopped just short of plowing into the other two Marauders on the floor. "Come on you guys stop horsing around let's go."
SIRIUS BLACK:
"James, you complete tit, I have no idea what you're laughing about." He pretended to puff on an imaginary cigarette. "But, Petey is right, c'mon...let's go before Filch sees us. I swear that man smells trouble from across the effing school." He lifted the cloak from James and threw it around his shoulders. "Petey, you and James up front, short bastards. Moony, you are behind me." He felt Remus getting close and whispered, "You know I bottom for you only." And he winked.
JAMES POTTER:
After regaining his composure he settled close to Sirius and heard what he whispered. "Oh the mental images there, gah! Is this a Padfoot sandwich? If so, can I return mine, the meats a bit used."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius smacked James in the back of the head. "Used? Well fine, see if I show you the finer things I can do with my tongue. I'll save all my talents for someone who appreciates them...like Moony."
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus slid in behind Sirius and stood very close to fit under the cloak it was going to be tight fit for four of them even standing almost in each others skin. When he heard Sirius' words his breath caught in his throat, and before he had a chance to speak James rushed into it. Thank Merlin, he needed all his concentration to keep himself under control though he feared if it was too long a walk to the Potions lab he would definitely be giving his thoughts away. "Prongs you silly git we don't have time for this.” He whispered to Sirius. “Anytime loves, anytime."
PETER PETTIGREW:
Thinking this was a really good time to keep his mouth shut he slid in before James and was ready to lead off.
SIRIUS BLACK:
As they trudged thru the castle Sirius whispered, "Is that your wand Moony, or are you just happy to bugger me?"
JAMES POTTER:
"Will you shut it, Pads! We're trying to be discreet."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius pouted, "Fine, but I think Moony appreciates my humour, right Moony?" He reached behind him to pat his arm but missed by a long shot and pats his arse. "See you've been working out Moony, old man."
JAMES POTTER:
James growled again, "Will you just shut it!" He was about to turn around and tell him they would do this another day if he couldn't keep his libido check when he realized they were in the dungeons. "Okay, Petey, you know which ingredients to get? I'm going to leave the cloak with these two canines and I'm going off to the Slytherin common room. We’ll meet up in the empty class by the tapestry of Grindel the Gross." He shot a glare at Sirius..."Behave." He took off.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus stifled a laugh as Sirius spoke to him. When his strong hand landed firmly upon his backside the slender lycanthrope almost gasped but managed to hold onto his silence. As James and Petey left you could hear "Be have my arse." Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius and whispered into his ears. "That’s not my wand and I am happy to see you."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Watching James disappear down the hall, Sirius turned to face Remus. He moved up against his body, his silver eyes heavily lidded. "Is that so, Mr. Lupin?" He put both his hands on Remus' chest and pushed him into an alcove. "Do I make you happy, Moony?" he asked, licking his lips, his eyes were trained on the lycanthropes amber orbs.
REMUS LUPIN:
"What makes you ask that? You know you make me happy. How could you not? The question is could you be happy with me?" He felt the warmth of Sirius' body against his always cool one and wrapped his arms around him bringing the two of them ever closer together, eyes locked and their faces, oh so close together.
SIRIUS BLACK:
He felt Remus' arms around him and he lowered his gaze. "James thinks I'm leading you into something you really don't want," he said in hushed tones. "S'not true. I just don't know what I'm doing. I know you make me smile." He was almost blushing; he'd never admitted anything like this, not even to Prongs.
REMUS LUPIN:
"You are not leading me anywhere I don't wish to go. Don't you see how happy you make me? Merlin's beard I am only warm when I am with you and you have these incredible eyes. I could drown in them and be happy doing it. Sirius, I don't know what I am doing either all I know for sure is I need you.” Remus blushed and buried his head against Sirius' neck.
SIRIUS BLACK:
Grabbing his hand he began to pull Remus down the hall, not caring if the invisibility cloak covered them completely. He needed to do this and he needed to do it now. Running like a madman, feeling the cool hand in his, he finally stopped outside one of the many empty rooms he and James had discovered in their travels. He charmed open the door and pulled them both inside, sealing it. He then pulled the cloak off them and crushed himself up against the taller young man. Before he could chicken out he claimed Remus' lips in an awkward kiss. He'd only ever kissed girls before; they were soft and tasted as such. Remus was all hard plains and pointy angles and Sirius knew he loved it more then anything in the world. He realized his hand was still grasping Moony's tightly.
REMUS LUPIN:
He felt the blood rush to his head as Sirius pulled him down the hall and into an empty classroom. His hand still enclosed in Sirius' warm one. When he felt himself pulled into an open door and then felt Sirius' lips on his the whole world rocked. He greedily returned the kiss and knew he was home. He gave no thought to James or Peter or anyone else just those eyes and those lips and Oh My God, the shear ecstasy of it all.
SIRIUS BLACK:
He ran his tongue along Remus' bottom lip, a soft growl growing in the back of his throat. He spoke against those cool lips, "Moony, this is insane...but I can't stop." He lifted one hand to trace one of the scars on Remus' face, smiling sheepishly. "Does this mean I fancy blokes? Because I can honestly say I only fancy you." He reclaimed those lips and gently pried them apart with his tongue and his knees almost gave out as he met Remus's soft tongue.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus let his lips open slightly and then he felt the softness of that warm tongue dance over his. He sucked upon it gently and felt his legs begin to grow weaker. He pulled the two of them still locked in that kiss to the floor. "I don't know," he whispered when the kiss broke. "All I know is I want you and I never want this feeling to go away and I don't fancy blokes either as a rule, but Gods this feels so right.” He claimed those lips again and sighed with the feeling.
SIRIUS BLACK:
As they tumbled to the floor, he rolled, pulling Moony on top of him. "Does this mean I get to sleep in your bed? Mine is so lonely, all the way on the other side of the dorm, by Petey." He smiled against those lips he'd craved for so long. "Cus you know you love it when I call to you in the middle of the night. Right, Moooonnnnyyyyy..." He licked his lips and brushed Remus' hair from his eyes, his other hand tracing lazy circles and figure eights up his back.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus laughed softly. “What took you so long? Of course you can sleep in my bed. I don't know what we are going to tell James, you know how jealous he can be, but hey, I wouldn't want to be stuck sleeping next to Petey either. He snores. And sounds like a wheezing rat. Merlin, that feels good Pads." He let his amber orbs hold those silver ones and his hands began to trace lazy circles over Sirius body.
SIRIUS BLACK:
"James can bugger off dreaming of Evans. The fool! He has no idea how much she really likes him but he acts like wank-wit." He smiled as he buried his face in Remus' neck. He found the edge of his jumper and slid his warm hands inside, touching the soft skin and noting the way the bumps of his spine stuck out. "You need to eat more, Moony."
REMUS LUPIN:
"Alright, I will eat more. Come here and let me taste you. And you are right James is a wanker. That girl is head over heels for him and yet he can’t see it for his own silliness." He pressed his lips to Sirius' once more and let his hands work their way under Sirius' jumper. "We really should give up this afternoon of Slytherin pay back, who really cares anyway? We go back to our room before anyone finds us. I think our bed would be more comfortable than this floor. "
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius ran his tongue over Remus' teeth and smiled devilishly. "A bed? I believe revenge on one Severus 'Slimeball' Snape can wait another day. You know what they say about revenge and cold dishes." He rolled them so he was the dominant and licked a slow languid path over Remus' neck. Then pulling away, he pocketed the invisibility cloak, lest he leave it behind and give James even more of a reason to give him a black eye. He unlocked the door and peered out. "I should have grabbed that ruddy map from Prongs. Ah well," he pulled them both out and with a quick smouldering look toward Remus, he tore off toward Gryffindor tower. When they reached their dorm, he was out of breath and he collapsed onto Moony's bed. "Take me now while I'm defenceless Moony, I willingly submit." He panted and winked.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus almost flew down the hall on feet so light they almost never touched the floor completely. Revenge was sweet but this was sweeter. He landed on the bed next to Sirius and pulled him into a deep lip lock that left him breathless. “Take you while you are defenceless? When are you ever defenceless, my friend? I never noticed that about you. Let's just do what comes to us. No planning." He kissed him once more and then took his slender hands and grabbing his jumper threw it off over his head to land in a heap on the floor beside the bed.
SIRIUS BLACK:
Removing both their jumpers, Sirius immediately dove into his arms, thrilling at the touch of skin on skin. "Merlin, Moony, this is just..." words escaped him. He found himself touching ever exposed surface on that hard chest. For a powerful werewolf and a rather strong human, Remus was deceptively thin and did not possess a lot of muscles. Sirius thought he was just beautiful. He ran his hand thru Moony's soft brown hair and sucked on his earlobe. "Too long, Remus...I waited too long...I'm sorry," he whispered in a thick hoarse voice.
REMUS LUPIN:
Those eyes and the love held there. That was captivating and the touch of his skin against that of the slender lycanthrope was electric. "Merlin, yes we both were so stupid to deny this. You have nothing to be sorry for I am the one who should be sorry. I am so obtuse sometimes." He ran his slender fingers slowly over his back and up to rest gently in his hair, wrapping his long legs around those of his companion.
SIRIUS BLACK:
He ground his body against Remus', finding purchase with their locked legs. "Oh, Gods..." he hissed at the sensations he was feeling. He knew he was lost, he knew that he'd never be able to turn back. This was home, this was where he belonged. He'd known a long time ago that his family disliked him; this was only one more reason for them to disown him. He cared not. He had James and he had Remus and Remus was all he really ever needed. His insecurities got the better of him and he whispered against his lips, "Don't ever leave me."
REMUS LUPIN:
"How could I leave my own soul? You are the best of me. I am only truly alive and warm when I am with you. Don't you know that I will never leave you? You are the very heart of me. I hope that you never leave me. What would I do without you?" Remus knew that there would never be a love for him like this one forged in the fires of youth and adversity. He pulled Sirius as close as he possibly could and held him tenderly. " I... well, you know."
SIRIUS BLACK:
He gave him a lopsided smile. "You're my mate, I'll never leave you." He claimed his lips in a slow, lingering kiss. It was not erotic, nor was it chaste. It promised of warm nights and shared futures; it spoke of two souls who would forever be entwined. He smiled again and whispered, "Yeah, Moony...I know." He was mapping out the topography in Remus' eyes.
REMUS LUPIN:
He let his eyes speak to Sirius and his body followed suit. They were mates and soul mates and this was home. He returned the kiss and let his lips speak the rest of his thoughts.
JAMES POTTER:
After setting off the tornado in the common room and watching the Slytherin scatter, James made his way to the abandoned room. When only Peter showed, he scanned the map and curse profusely under his breath. "Come on Peter, it's time to blacken Black's eye." He stormed thru the school making his way to their dormitory. He slammed open the door, "Merlin's left nut! You've turned Moony queer. Black you effing poof, get off him." He was not homophobic, he was only afraid that he'd lose both his friends if they had a falling out. He grabbed Sirius by the hair, pulling him off the bed he watched in horror as Remus fell off the other side and smacked his head.

REMUS LUPIN: Remus was shouting, "NO!" at the top of his lungs when he hit the floor and everything went black. He woke the next morning on the floor and slowly stood with a glower. "Severus, damn you."

SEVERUS SNAPE:
Severus stormed up to Lupin's office and knocked on the door. He did not wait for an invitation as he pushed it open and trudged over to the desk. "I have your Wolfsbane for the month ready." He hesitated and with a slight glare he thrust a small brackish vial into the Lycanthrope’s hand. "This is for your...birthday. It is Memoria Potion, enjoy." He turned on his heel and retreated into the shadows lest the werewolf thank him for his gift. Severus Snape did not take platitudes well.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus smiled a slight smile as Severus exited the room. "Memoria Potion, I haven't had any of this in years." Remus smiled as he remembered the last time he had been lucky enough to have some. This potion was so special and he knew what it took Severus to brew it just for him. Memoria potion let the taker remember totally one twelve hour period of the drinkers choosing. What a gift. Remus stood and carrying the vial with him he went to his chamber and made ready. He took the cork out of the bottle and with shaking hand lifted it to his lips.

"Moony...Moooooonnnnyyyyyy...psst, Moony wake up!" He crawled into Remus' bed, sticking his nose touching the young man's. "Come on, Prongs and Petey are already in the Great Hall eating lunch.

He lounged on the bed, watching Remus gather his things. "Master Lupin, keep sneaking me kisses like that and I'll begin to believe that maybe you’re sweet on me." He shot him a wink before rolling over and landing on his feet. He stretched and grabbed the cross bar on the poster bed, hanging from hit slightly, his shirt lifting. "Prongs is so hung up on Evans that he wouldn't know a good time if it sat on his face and did the hula." He pulled one hand down and examined his nails. "Myself on the other hand, look forward to a good hula dance on my face."
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus laughed and then gave Sirius a playfully false gasp. "Me? Sweet on you? What in the world would give you that idea? And you could return a kiss ya know; a fellow could begin to feel unwanted." He laughed really loud then and snorted. "I think if Evans said jump Prongs would say, ‘Yes Ma’am how high?’” He sneered slightly and then snorted. "Hula on your face, huh?

But you honestly can't blame us for your lack of animal magnetism. I mean, who's attracted to a stag? Wolves, yes...dogs...definitely. Rats...well, sorry Petey, no dice there either..." He took a bite of the roll and leaned on his elbow. "You guys are just screwed. And I don't mean in a good way."
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus pulled back from the almost kiss and hiding the frustration he felt right at that moment he snarled. "You two would screw up a wet dream.” He laughed to hide his true feelings. Then he plopped himself on the foot of the bed with his long legs swinging over the end. “James the lady has done everything but take you by your pecker and lead you to it. Do you need an interpretative dance to know she is interested? I mean sure wolves and dogs are sexier but you have got the girl just act on it. Wormy, sorry guy I gotta agree with Pads on that one rats and definitely a no go on the woman scale. All rats do is make them run for a big dog or a wolf." He threw up his slender hand. "What?

"Yes," he ground out. Being as how Sirius felt compelled to use him as a guinea pig to see what potions Snape had used, he too wanted revenge. "So what is your plan?"

"Merlin guys, just because I am small and I am sometimes a bit of a well, geez do you have to sit on me all the time?" He looked at the others with a mock pout that was not at all endearing.
REMUS LUPIN:
“Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me Pads, I need to wipe off my hands before I tackle James for another one of those rolls I see peeking out of his pocket." He walked over and wiped his hands on Peter's robes. "Now that is better. Plan... hum what did I do with that plan. I thought you had it, Oh Great Master Planner." He winked at Sirius, "I will never tell anyone what you can do in fifteen minutes."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Leaning back on James' bed to look at Remus, he smiled. "Yeah, thanks Moony. You give great hand." He stretched again, this time his head and shoulders hanging off the bed. "Well, plan...um...I was thinking something along the lines of getting those potions ingredients from the lab and sabotaging the lesson for tomorrow so that all the Slytherin sixth years end up with red and gold hair. OR, we could charm all the Slytherin boys so that all their pants turn to knickers, black lacy knickers." He smirked, eyeing Remus and then rolled so he was leaning on James' leg. "Oh what about that idea you had...you know the one with the things..."
JAMES POTTER:
James snorted, "Your eloquence is frightening, but I know what you mean. I was toying with the idea of trying out some controlled weather spells. Namely, a tornado in the Slytherin Common room. What say you all?"
REMUS LUPIN:
"I say we do it all why not make the bastards have red and gold hair and black lace knickers. It would serve the greasy git right if his house were all the laughing stocks we know them to be anyway. And you are very welcome Sirius." Moony grinned his famous grin and leaned back upon the bed letting his long legs swing freely over the end.
PETER PETTIGREW
“I could get in the door and grab the ingredients if you want. Sometimes being small is good." He smiled at the other three.
SIRIUS BLACK:
"I knew I liked you for a reason, Petey. You're a thinking man." He looked up at James, "So yeah, Petey can get the ingredients. The man with the hands of silk can brew the potions, I can transform some cotton into black lace and you can work your God-like powers over Mother Nature." He rolled so he was facing the ceiling again. "That is if Evans gives you permission to use your wand. You know I don't mean the one in your pocket."
JAMES POTTER:
"Sounds brill, but who's going to kiss my arse to convince me to let you fools use my invisibility cloak? Who is going to distract Filch and most importantly, when do we leave?"
REMUS LUPIN:
"Well let's go. Petey, Oh Short One, kiss Mr. Potters arse so we can go. You are the shortest so it is not that big a leap for you. I might be tempted to bite his arse rather than kiss it and then he would like it and we would have to stay here all night. And what a tragedy that would be. Poor Lily." He laughed and pulled Sirius off the bed along with James.
PETER PETTIGREW
"I don't know why you think I would like to kiss his royal arse. Nope if you want that done you are going to have to do it yourself. I am willing to get the ingredients but not the rest." He looked at the trio and quivered slightly. They always did get him into trouble but he hated to be left behind.
SIRIUS BLACK:
"Come on Petey," he said, pulling an arm around his shoulder. "You know we wouldn't make you kiss Prong's arse. Who knows where it's been?" He ducked around Remus wrapping his arms around his slender waist as James took a swing at him. "You missed me, ya girl! No wonder Evans doesn't want you; she's got bigger balls..." He then ran down the stairs and thru the common room before James could catch him. He waited outside the portrait, looking suave and nonchalant.
JAMES POTTER:
James tried to punch at Sirius and instead, grabbed his invisibility cloak and tore after him. "If I catch you Padfoot I'll ream you a new one." He pushed past a third year and found Sirius leaning against the wall, looking like something out of a Muggle cigarette advert. He snorted at the site and collapsed against the wall, laughing.
REMUS LUPIN:
"Hey, no fair putting me in the middle of this" He drew in his breath sharply those arms felt really good around his waist. ~Snap out of it you fool or you will loose all your friends. ~ He tore out after the other two and ran smack dab into James who was doubled over laughing, tumbling them to the floor and knocking over the third year who like a fool had turned to follow them.
PETER PETTIGREW:
He raced after the others as fast as his short legs could carry him. He stopped just short of plowing into the other two Marauders on the floor. "Come on you guys stop horsing around let's go."
SIRIUS BLACK:
"James, you complete tit, I have no idea what you're laughing about." He pretended to puff on an imaginary cigarette. "But, Petey is right, c'mon...let's go before Filch sees us. I swear that man smells trouble from across the effing school." He lifted the cloak from James and threw it around his shoulders. "Petey, you and James up front, short bastards. Moony, you are behind me." He felt Remus getting close and whispered, "You know I bottom for you only." And he winked.
JAMES POTTER:
After regaining his composure he settled close to Sirius and heard what he whispered. "Oh the mental images there, gah! Is this a Padfoot sandwich? If so, can I return mine, the meats a bit used."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius smacked James in the back of the head. "Used? Well fine, see if I show you the finer things I can do with my tongue. I'll save all my talents for someone who appreciates them...like Moony."
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus slid in behind Sirius and stood very close to fit under the cloak it was going to be tight fit for four of them even standing almost in each others skin. When he heard Sirius' words his breath caught in his throat, and before he had a chance to speak James rushed into it. Thank Merlin, he needed all his concentration to keep himself under control though he feared if it was too long a walk to the Potions lab he would definitely be giving his thoughts away. "Prongs you silly git we don't have time for this.” He whispered to Sirius. “Anytime loves, anytime."
PETER PETTIGREW:
Thinking this was a really good time to keep his mouth shut he slid in before James and was ready to lead off.
SIRIUS BLACK:
As they trudged thru the castle Sirius whispered, "Is that your wand Moony, or are you just happy to bugger me?"
JAMES POTTER:
"Will you shut it, Pads! We're trying to be discreet."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius pouted, "Fine, but I think Moony appreciates my humour, right Moony?" He reached behind him to pat his arm but missed by a long shot and pats his arse. "See you've been working out Moony, old man."
JAMES POTTER:
James growled again, "Will you just shut it!" He was about to turn around and tell him they would do this another day if he couldn't keep his libido check when he realized they were in the dungeons. "Okay, Petey, you know which ingredients to get? I'm going to leave the cloak with these two canines and I'm going off to the Slytherin common room. We’ll meet up in the empty class by the tapestry of Grindel the Gross." He shot a glare at Sirius..."Behave." He took off.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus stifled a laugh as Sirius spoke to him. When his strong hand landed firmly upon his backside the slender lycanthrope almost gasped but managed to hold onto his silence. As James and Petey left you could hear "Be have my arse." Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius and whispered into his ears. "That’s not my wand and I am happy to see you."
SIRIUS BLACK:
Watching James disappear down the hall, Sirius turned to face Remus. He moved up against his body, his silver eyes heavily lidded. "Is that so, Mr. Lupin?" He put both his hands on Remus' chest and pushed him into an alcove. "Do I make you happy, Moony?" he asked, licking his lips, his eyes were trained on the lycanthropes amber orbs.
REMUS LUPIN:
"What makes you ask that? You know you make me happy. How could you not? The question is could you be happy with me?" He felt the warmth of Sirius' body against his always cool one and wrapped his arms around him bringing the two of them ever closer together, eyes locked and their faces, oh so close together.
SIRIUS BLACK:
He felt Remus' arms around him and he lowered his gaze. "James thinks I'm leading you into something you really don't want," he said in hushed tones. "S'not true. I just don't know what I'm doing. I know you make me smile." He was almost blushing; he'd never admitted anything like this, not even to Prongs.
REMUS LUPIN:
"You are not leading me anywhere I don't wish to go. Don't you see how happy you make me? Merlin's beard I am only warm when I am with you and you have these incredible eyes. I could drown in them and be happy doing it. Sirius, I don't know what I am doing either all I know for sure is I need you.” Remus blushed and buried his head against Sirius' neck.
SIRIUS BLACK:
Grabbing his hand he began to pull Remus down the hall, not caring if the invisibility cloak covered them completely. He needed to do this and he needed to do it now. Running like a madman, feeling the cool hand in his, he finally stopped outside one of the many empty rooms he and James had discovered in their travels. He charmed open the door and pulled them both inside, sealing it. He then pulled the cloak off them and crushed himself up against the taller young man. Before he could chicken out he claimed Remus' lips in an awkward kiss. He'd only ever kissed girls before; they were soft and tasted as such. Remus was all hard plains and pointy angles and Sirius knew he loved it more then anything in the world. He realized his hand was still grasping Moony's tightly.
REMUS LUPIN:
He felt the blood rush to his head as Sirius pulled him down the hall and into an empty classroom. His hand still enclosed in Sirius' warm one. When he felt himself pulled into an open door and then felt Sirius' lips on his the whole world rocked. He greedily returned the kiss and knew he was home. He gave no thought to James or Peter or anyone else just those eyes and those lips and Oh My God, the shear ecstasy of it all.
SIRIUS BLACK:
He ran his tongue along Remus' bottom lip, a soft growl growing in the back of his throat. He spoke against those cool lips, "Moony, this is insane...but I can't stop." He lifted one hand to trace one of the scars on Remus' face, smiling sheepishly. "Does this mean I fancy blokes? Because I can honestly say I only fancy you." He reclaimed those lips and gently pried them apart with his tongue and his knees almost gave out as he met Remus's soft tongue.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus let his lips open slightly and then he felt the softness of that warm tongue dance over his. He sucked upon it gently and felt his legs begin to grow weaker. He pulled the two of them still locked in that kiss to the floor. "I don't know," he whispered when the kiss broke. "All I know is I want you and I never want this feeling to go away and I don't fancy blokes either as a rule, but Gods this feels so right.” He claimed those lips again and sighed with the feeling.
SIRIUS BLACK:
As they tumbled to the floor, he rolled, pulling Moony on top of him. "Does this mean I get to sleep in your bed? Mine is so lonely, all the way on the other side of the dorm, by Petey." He smiled against those lips he'd craved for so long. "Cus you know you love it when I call to you in the middle of the night. Right, Moooonnnnyyyyy..." He licked his lips and brushed Remus' hair from his eyes, his other hand tracing lazy circles and figure eights up his back.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus laughed softly. “What took you so long? Of course you can sleep in my bed. I don't know what we are going to tell James, you know how jealous he can be, but hey, I wouldn't want to be stuck sleeping next to Petey either. He snores. And sounds like a wheezing rat. Merlin, that feels good Pads." He let his amber orbs hold those silver ones and his hands began to trace lazy circles over Sirius body.
SIRIUS BLACK:
"James can bugger off dreaming of Evans. The fool! He has no idea how much she really likes him but he acts like wank-wit." He smiled as he buried his face in Remus' neck. He found the edge of his jumper and slid his warm hands inside, touching the soft skin and noting the way the bumps of his spine stuck out. "You need to eat more, Moony."
REMUS LUPIN:
"Alright, I will eat more. Come here and let me taste you. And you are right James is a wanker. That girl is head over heels for him and yet he can’t see it for his own silliness." He pressed his lips to Sirius' once more and let his hands work their way under Sirius' jumper. "We really should give up this afternoon of Slytherin pay back, who really cares anyway? We go back to our room before anyone finds us. I think our bed would be more comfortable than this floor. "
SIRIUS BLACK:
Sirius ran his tongue over Remus' teeth and smiled devilishly. "A bed? I believe revenge on one Severus 'Slimeball' Snape can wait another day. You know what they say about revenge and cold dishes." He rolled them so he was the dominant and licked a slow languid path over Remus' neck. Then pulling away, he pocketed the invisibility cloak, lest he leave it behind and give James even more of a reason to give him a black eye. He unlocked the door and peered out. "I should have grabbed that ruddy map from Prongs. Ah well," he pulled them both out and with a quick smouldering look toward Remus, he tore off toward Gryffindor tower. When they reached their dorm, he was out of breath and he collapsed onto Moony's bed. "Take me now while I'm defenceless Moony, I willingly submit." He panted and winked.
REMUS LUPIN:
Remus almost flew down the hall on feet so light they almost never touched the floor completely. Revenge was sweet but this was sweeter. He landed on the bed next to Sirius and pulled him into a deep lip lock that left him breathless. “Take you while you are defenceless? When are you ever defenceless, my friend? I never noticed that about you. Let's just do what comes to us. No planning." He kissed him once more and then took his slender hands and grabbing his jumper threw it off over his head to land in a heap on the floor beside the bed.
SIRIUS BLACK:
Removing both their jumpers, Sirius immediately dove into his arms, thrilling at the touch of skin on skin. "Merlin, Moony, this is just..." words escaped him. He found himself touching ever exposed surface on that hard chest. For a powerful werewolf and a rather strong human, Remus was deceptively thin and did not possess a lot of muscles. Sirius thought he was just beautiful. He ran his hand thru Moony's soft brown hair and sucked on his earlobe. "Too long, Remus...I waited too long...I'm sorry," he whispered in a thick hoarse voice.
REMUS LUPIN:
Those eyes and the love held there. That was captivating and the touch of his skin against that of the slender lycanthrope was electric. "Merlin, yes we both were so stupid to deny this. You have nothing to be sorry for I am the one who should be sorry. I am so obtuse sometimes." He ran his slender fingers slowly over his back and up to rest gently in his hair, wrapping his long legs around those of his companion.
SIRIUS BLACK:
He ground his body against Remus', finding purchase with their locked legs. "Oh, Gods..." he hissed at the sensations he was feeling. He knew he was lost, he knew that he'd never be able to turn back. This was home, this was where he belonged. He'd known a long time ago that his family disliked him; this was only one more reason for them to disown him. He cared not. He had James and he had Remus and Remus was all he really ever needed. His insecurities got the better of him and he whispered against his lips, "Don't ever leave me."
REMUS LUPIN:
"How could I leave my own soul? You are the best of me. I am only truly alive and warm when I am with you. Don't you know that I will never leave you? You are the very heart of me. I hope that you never leave me. What would I do without you?" Remus knew that there would never be a love for him like this one forged in the fires of youth and adversity. He pulled Sirius as close as he possibly could and held him tenderly. " I... well, you know."
SIRIUS BLACK:
He gave him a lopsided smile. "You're my mate, I'll never leave you." He claimed his lips in a slow, lingering kiss. It was not erotic, nor was it chaste. It promised of warm nights and shared futures; it spoke of two souls who would forever be entwined. He smiled again and whispered, "Yeah, Moony...I know." He was mapping out the topography in Remus' eyes.
REMUS LUPIN:
He let his eyes speak to Sirius and his body followed suit. They were mates and soul mates and this was home. He returned the kiss and let his lips speak the rest of his thoughts.
JAMES POTTER:
After setting off the tornado in the common room and watching the Slytherin scatter, James made his way to the abandoned room. When only Peter showed, he scanned the map and curse profusely under his breath. "Come on Peter, it's time to blacken Black's eye." He stormed thru the school making his way to their dormitory. He slammed open the door, "Merlin's left nut! You've turned Moony queer. Black you effing poof, get off him." He was not homophobic, he was only afraid that he'd lose both his friends if they had a falling out. He grabbed Sirius by the hair, pulling him off the bed he watched in horror as Remus fell off the other side and smacked his head.
Present
REMUS LUPIN: Remus was shouting, "NO!" at the top of his lungs when he hit the floor and everything went black. He woke the next morning on the floor and slowly stood with a glower. "Severus, damn you."
