Cured! And then poisioned again...

Sirius, Harry, and Peter rushed Remus and Ron to Professor Slughorn. They finally reached the doors and stood there momentarily, taking a breather.

Harry walks forward and knocks the door. In a moment, the top part of the door slides open. Professor Slughorn groggily peers out of the hole, trying to see who was disturbing him at such a time.

"I'm sorry, sir. We wouldn't bother you if it weren't absolutely essential." Harry says.

Ron looks over at Slughorn and drunkly asks, "That's Romilda?"

Remus whips his head around quickly, looking around at the mention of the girl's name. "R-Romilda? Where?" He looks at where Ron is pointing to, and his eyes widen at Slughorn, or to Remus and Ron, Romilda.

Slughorn scrunches his nose at the two boys. And whispers to the sane ones, "What's the matter with Welby and Ramon?"

Peter's leans closer to the gap where Harry and Slughorn were communicating through. He whispers to him, "Very powerful love potion, sir."

"Oh very well, better bring 'em in here then." Slughorn opens the door completely so that everyone can come in.

Sirius being the last person to enter, closes the door behind him. Just in time for the professor to start speaking.

"I thought you could whip up a remedy for this in no time, Harry." The man says, directing his words to Harry and his unusually exceptional potion making.

"Well, I  thought this called for more of a practiced hand, sir." Harry replies, lying to the man with ease.

That's what happens when you find yourself hanging around the marauders too often.

Remus and Ron both push each other in attempt to hold Slughorn's arm while the man made the potion. In the end, poor Slughorn was left with two leeches clinging onto him, one on each arm.

"I'm sorry by the way Professor, about earlier today, the misunderstanding." Harry apologized.

"Oh not at all, all water under the bridge. You know." Slughorn said back dismissively.

Meanwhile the situation is happening, Sirius and Peter both try to help keep Ron and Remus under control. Ron plops himself on the top of a cushioned chair. The moment Sirius diverts his attention back to his boyfriend, a loud thud noise is heard from where Ron previously was.

Peter touched Sirius's forearm, mumbling to him. "Fell." To which, Sirius let out an understanding sigh to.

Sirius furrowed his eyebrows as if he felt like he'd forgotten about something. Suddenly it hit him. He harshly pulled Peter by his jumper and whispered, "We forgot about, Prongs."

Peter's eyes widened, he looked at Harry and Slughorn, and then back to Sirius. The boy just shrugged his shoulders and said, "He'll live."

Meanwhile, back at the Gryffindor dorms...

"La la la la laaaaa." James sang as he skipped animatedly back to where the boys were going to have a sleepover.

I wonder what they're doing right now.

James shrugged off his thoughts once he reached the dorm room. He grabbed onto the doorknob without care and swung the door open.

"Your favorite stag has arriv- GAAA WHAT HAPPENED?" Although nobody was really there to answer his question. James looks around at the mess the room was. As he looked at the scattered chocolates on the ground, to the pile of books at the corner, to the note that said, 'James' on it.

The boy took a double take at the sight of his name. He picked up the note on the bedside table. On it was messily written JAMES at the top. He opened the roughly half folded note and looked at what was written inside.

"Prongs. Moony and Ron are in a bit of situation right now, so me, Padfoot, and Wormtail have gone to Slughorn to fix it.

With all the love in the world, Harry :)"

After finished reading the note, James let out a 'hmmmm' sound and then shrugged and placed the note down. Grabbing the invisibility cloak underneath Harry's bed, he ran out of the door and wrapped the cloak around his body and head.

"Can't stop me if you can't see me."

Meanwhile, back at Slughorn's...

With less difficulty then expected, Slughorn was able to cure the infatuated boys, leaving Ron feeling guilty and Remus embarrassed after being awoken while he was clinging onto his professor's arm.

"You need a pick-me up, my boys. Butterbeer, Wine, Dazzling Earth-matured mead... I had other intentions for this but I think given the circumstances..." Slughorn's words trail off as he opens the mead and pours it into cups.

*pop*

He hands a cup of the drink to each person, starting with Ron and Remus, the boys who probably needed a drink the most. Remus looked at the drink in his hand, and then to his left where he saw Ron already taking a large sip.

Putting the cup up to his lips, he also takes a small sip, just in time to see Harry and Slughorn's cheers-ing from the corner of his eye.

Remus and Ron both drop to the ground, choking on something.

"Ron..." Harry says in a quiet voice.

"Love..." Sirius drops to his knees checking to see what was wrong with his boyfriend.

Harry looks at the others who stare with horror filled eyes. Suddenly an idea popped up in his head. Rushing to Slughorn's stash of potion ingredients, he finds exactly what he needed.

Several boxes of bezoar are laid in a neat line. Grabbing two bottles, Harry clings onto one and throws one to Sirius, who catches it without hesitation.

Both of them try to have the boys swallow the stone.

"Come on guys, breathe..." Peter says, also sitting on his knees beside the horrific scene.

What felt like an eternity, everyone and everything was still. Until two voices of gasping in and breathing filled the air. Sirius let's out a shaky breathe he was holding, and clings onto Remus like he would disappear any moment.

"Don't you dare do that again, you hear me." His voice cracking slightly as he says the words.
