[RL with Remus]

[why_so_me]

Sirius felt a little bit guilty for this. What he was planning was, essentially, a surprise attack. And Remus was probably going to flail like crazy, but. They needed to talk. And Remus had been making it really really difficult to get the chance to talk to him alone

Remus let himself into the dorms at about a quarter past one, figuring that since they had school the next day, no one would be awake anymore. It wasn't exactly a healthy choice, to be coming in so late and leaving so early in the morning, but at least it meant that there weren't any more awkward moments with Sirius, even if he was starting to get headaches from the strain of not sleeping, on top of the pull of the moon.

Checking to see that everyone was in their beds and not up anymore, Remus quickly got himself ready for bed, before collapsing into it. He was so tired that not even a minute later, he was already halfway to being asleep.

Sirius waited until he was sure Remus was settled into bed, and close enough to sleep that he wasn't going to notice Sirius sneaking until it was too late. From his mattress, Sirius silently cast a Silencing Charm, so that even if James or Peter woke up, they wouldn't hear a thing.

He crept off his own bed quietly, barely making a noise. And then, without ceremony, he climbed onto Remus' bed and sat down on top of the other boy's ankles so he wouldn't be able to run away.

"Wake up, Moony."

Remus hadn't exactly been asleep when Sirius crawled in through the curtains around his bed, but he hadn't really been awake enough to be aware that the other boy was even there until Sirius sat on his feet and spoke. Remus woke from whatever doze he had been in with a soft yelp, snapping his eyes open, his heart nearly leaping out his throat.

"Sirius?!" he hissed. "What... What in Merlin's name are you...?!"

"I'm grabbing the chance to talk to you when you can't avoid me," Sirius said calmly, sitting Indian-style on Remus' legs. "And making sure you won't try to run away."

"We need to talk," he said simply. "And don't worry about anyone overhearing, I put a Silencing Charm on your curtains."
