"You should probably get going soon." Circe whispers as she runs her hands through Remus' soft hair. The two of them are cuddled up in his bed, warily watching the sun starting to get lower and lower in the sky. She has put the potion on hold, per his request, but she can't help but feel guilty once more now that it's a full moon. Lily is still working on it, not that he knows that, so at least there's that to ease her worries.

Remus hums, cuddling into her side and looking away from the window. He still finds it miraculous that just being by Circe's side can ease his symptoms and her freezing cold, but still incredibly soft, skin can make his temperature melt away. "Yeah, probably should." His arms, which are wrapped around her waist, tighten their grip on her.

"Where are the rest of the trolls?" She asks him, since she hasn't seen any of them since the school day finished. The girl presumes that they're off getting into some kind of trouble, or dealing with the consequences of said trouble.

He chuckles into her neck, his soft breath tickling her. "Detention with Slughorn, poor sods." Their prank on Rosier, whilst appreciated by most of the student body, wasn't deemed to be appropriate by the man.

"Merlin, I hate that man." Circe groans. His power hungry attempts to form friendships with the more wealthy and influential students grates on her last nerve. The man's blatant favouritism, despite the fact that she had never thought that it would be directed at her in the first place, is disgusting.

Remus nods slightly in agreement. "Who doesn't?"

They fall into a comfortable silence for a few moments, wanting to just simply enjoy each other's presence before Remus has to go through an unimaginable amount of pain. However it's short lived as the other three burst through the doors.

"Alright, Moony, Hellcat." Sirius greets them, using the nickname that Circe absolutely despises- although it is better than Kitten, which would annoy her enough to become murderous.

She rolls her eyes. "Lord Troll, trolls, how was your detention?" She asks them with a grin, knowing that it would have been less than pleasant as they dislike the man almost as much as she does.

"Positively dreadful." James huffs, trailing in behind Sirius with Peter hot on his tail. He chucks his bag onto the floor before flopping onto his bed.

Peter snickers. "He tried to get Prongs to join the Slugclub because of his family." He pulls open the top drawer of his bedside table and chucks a chocolate bar in Remus' direction, followed by offering some up to the rest of them.

Circe catches it almost instinctively and unwraps it before handing it to the boy. He shuffles up higher and bites into it. "Thanks, Wormy." Remus tells the boy gratefully. He slings his arm around the girl's shoulder and she lays her head on his wide chest.

Although her head shoots up after a few seconds and she narrows her eyes at James. "I know that you're a troll and all but do you have to eat so loud?" Circe grumbles, the sound of his obnoxiously loud chewing is driving her up the wall.

Chocolate is smeared around his mouth, only proving that his messy way of eating isn't just her imagination. "What?" The boy asks, beginning to smack his lips as he bites down on the chocolate in his mouth. "Sorry, I can't hear you?"

"Prick." She curses under her breath before laying her head down on Remus' chest once more and deciding to focus on the sound of his heartbeat to distract herself. Under the covers, she moves her hand so that it's brushing his manhood and snickers when his heart beat begins to rapidly increase. She glances up at him and meets his eyes, which are as wide as saucers.

Remus shakes his head, urging her stop- although he doesn't look all that dissatisfied with what she's doing.

"Calm down, pretty boy." She whispers to him with a grin. "We don't have enough time before the full moon for me to do everything I want to do with you, so it's going to have to wait."
