I was in the middle of painting Remus's nails - who was still asleep, might I add - when the sound of the bed separator rolling away and a loud laugh startled me, successfully making me mess up a nail. 

The laughter cuts off abruptly, "What the fuck?"

I turn towards the sound and spot three bewildered marauders staring ack at me.

"You imbeciles! I messed up a nail because of you!" I glare. 

James walks forward until he's right next to me and takes a look at Remus's face on my chest. Peter follows his actions and sit on the metal chair.

Sirius is still standing on his spot with an unreadable pinched expression on his face. 

"What is happening?" James asked, his expression amused but I could see something strained in it. Strange.

Sirius finally shakes himself from...whatever the hell that was and comes to sit on the bottom of the bed, on Remus's side. He still hasn't said anything, which is unnerving since he never shuts up.

I mutter a spell to get rid of the polish on Remus's finger and start again. "lower your voices, he's asleep" 

Black snorts, "seems rather comfortable, doesn't he?" he said bitterly.

Turning to him with raised eyebrows "Yeah, cause being all bandaged up and bruised is the epitome of comfort" I deadpan.

That seemed to flip something inside their brains because they all collectively started to rush out excuses.

"He got drunk and fell down the stairs!"

"He was helping me practice and he fell off the broom!"

"A dog attacked him!"

James and Sirius turned to Peter and gave him a scolding look.

Ha! little do they know.

I hummed with a fake pensive expression, gaining back their attention. "That's odd, He told me he got attacked by the Whomping Willow"

Their eyes widen and they start to splutter a response when an annoyed groan interrupts them. "Can't fucking sleep when all of you dimwits make so much noise" Remus groaned out from his spot on my chest.

All the boys started fussing over remus - especially Sirius - to wish he took his time reassuring them he was fine. 

He moved away from me and smiled softly, "Thanks for helping, Lilah." 

I smiled at him and reached to ruffle his hair. "What are friends for, fluffy" I said, referring to the conversation we had before he fell asleep.

He glared at me "Do not call me that"
