Sirius Black was the first to wake the next morning.

"Where is she!?!" Sirius screamed, his voice rising by at least 2 octaves, whilst he paced his dorm  and ran is fingers through his hair after not finding Luna sleeping where she should have been in Remus' bed

Ripping open the curtains to Peter's bed first, Sirius was going into full on panic mode. His baby sister was missing.

A very groggy and pissed of Remus Lupin was sitting up in his bed, after being rudely woken up by a shrieking Sirius, listened to the sounds of the room, more importantly the heartbeats of the room. Counting 5 he was relieved to know that Luna was still in the room, and not really surprised that she was in the only bed that still had its curtains closed. The bed of James Potter. "Padfoot! Calm the fuck down! She's sleeping in Prongs' bed. She's fine!" he yelled before pulling his curtains shut and crashing back into his pillows.

Opening James' curtains, Sirius was preparing to lecture the pair in the protective big brother way that felt natural to him - until he actually saw the pair. Luna was curled up into James, with her head against his chest, whilst James had his arm wrapped around her shoulders and his other hand intertwined in Luna's. Both of them look completely content and at ease. It was a look Sirius hadn't seen on Luna for so long, too long.  How could he be angry when his best mate was so good for his baby sister?

Opening is eyes, James practically jumped out of his skin, startled from seeing Sirius standing at the foot of his bed, hair wild with frantic look on his face, completely and utterly confused on why he was being looked at like that. "Moring Pads" he spoke quietly, his morning voice making the words come out deep and gravely.

Placing his hands on his hip in a rather dramatic fashion, Sirius looked between James and Luna (who was still sleeping soundly) obnoxiously, with an over exaggerated look on his face that could only be described as somewhere between anger and complete and utter shock. "Prongs, do you mind telling me why the fuck my sister is in your fucking bed?"

Looking to his right James finally realised why Sirius was looking at him like that, but that realisation was short lived when he looked at Luna, at how happy she looked, how relaxed she was. How content she was, asleep in his arms, her chest rising and falling peacefully, not a single nightmare in sight. It caused something to grow at the pit of his stomach, similar to the feeling he had felt before, but somehow stronger. He could never have known how much trouble that feeling was going to get him in. Maybe that didn't matter though, because there is no doubt that if he knew, he wouldn't hesitate to live it again. For the good, and the really, really bad.

Coming back to reality, James realised that Sirius was still waiting for him to give a reason to why Luna was in his bed, but for some reason, James didn't want to tell Sirius about the conversation he had shared with Luna last night, he didn't want anyone else to know the things they talked about. He wanted to keep it between them. It was their special thing. So he told Sirius bits of the truth, enough so he wasn't lying, but not enough detail that he would have to share his and Luna's moments "We both couldn't sleep. She came over to my bed and we talked for a bit before actually going to sleep."

Still sceptical Sirius was quick to reply, "Is that all?"

That annoyed James. That Sirius would seriously think he would do anything to Luna, especially after what had happened in the summer. After all she had told them yesterday. Did her seriously think James was that shallow? That James would even consider doing anything to Luna when she was so fragile? "Padfoot! Seriously? Fuck off!"

The 5 were sitting a breakfast, James stuffing his face with bacon, still ignoring Sirius for the accusation he had made this morning, whilst Luna and Remus were reading the Daily Prophet across from him, Luna blissfully unaware of the boys conversation.
