Chapter 26

I'm really trying with the updates guys, please forgive me. I'm trying to figure out exactly where I want this to go before getting back into updating all the time.

Draco and Harry did as much reading as they could before their eyelids grew heavy, and they started rereading the same sentence over and over. They just couldn't focus anymore, so they put their books on the desk and started straightening up Harry's bedroom before getting situated for bed. Sirius had transfigured a bed for Draco just across the room from Harry's.

"Harry?" Draco asked quietly, not wanting to wake the boy up if he was sleeping.

"Yes, Draco?" Harry half mumbled, Draco had always been a little jealous of Harry's ability to fall asleep quickly.

"Are you nervous?"

"Yeah, I am a bit." Harry replied quietly after a moment to think about his answer. "What do you think is going to happen next? I mean, we know they're not going to just stop coming for us."

"That's what I'm scared of. But we heard that man. They can't get into school grounds. As long as we actually listen and stay within eyesight when we spend time on the grounds I think it'll be okay." Draco said trying to convince himself, just as much as he was trying to convince Harry, that this was true.

"Do you think the Ministry will stop them?" Harry asked rolling over to face the other boy.

"I think so. I hope so, before they get to my parents at least." Draco all but mumbled the part involving his parents. "Thank you, Harry."

"For what exactly? My plan got us in trouble." Harry asked.

"Being you. It's exactly what I need sometimes. You get it, you know? I mean, we got in trouble, sure. But we did it to help, I didn't have to go with you, I just couldn't let you go alone." Draco said looking up at the ceiling.

"Yeah, I know. Thanks for going with me, Draco. You're great, ya know?" Harry said adjusting in bed again. "Hey! We should play a prank on Sirius tomorrow, since we're stuck in these rooms until Merlin knows when!"

"Always, Harry. But we'll see about the prank. He did say he'd show us table quidditch tricks." Draco sighed rolling over to go to sleep. "We'll talk more in the morning. I'm drained."

"Goodnight."

Sirius and Remus were laying in their bed, just talking and enjoying one another's company, Remus was scratched and pretty sore from the transition two days ago. Sirius was propped up on his elbow, running his hand through his husband's hair just starting. He promised himself that he would appreciate Remus at every given opportunity, the recent events scared him significantly more than he cared to admit.

"Sirius Orian." Remus mumbled, getting sleepier the longer Sirius ran his fingers through his hair.

"Yes, love?" The black haired man whispered with a kiss to the other man's temple.

"Thank you, thank you for spending the full moons with me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being the love of my life." Remus sighed, he had also promised himself to appreciate his husband constantly. What happened had really put things into perspective for the men.

"Always, my love. I love you, always." Sirius replied into his husband's hair. "Let's go to sleep, yeah?"

"Mm. Sleep." Remus said nuzzling his nose closer to Sirius.

The next morning Harry woke up earlier than Draco, for a change, and took a few minutes to let everything that had happened sink in. After about fifteen minutes of reflection Harry got up and started to get ready "accidentally" being a little longer than necessary. As he was getting his clothes to go take a shower he let all of the drawers fall into place with a small slam, he made a show of not being able to find his glasses, and then ran into things on his way out.
