Sirius' skin prickled as Remus' fingers brushed along his cheekbone. A steady pulse of music throbbed below their feet as they sat in the dorms while James was throwing a little party in the common rooms to commemorate the end of exams.

Sirius grabbed Remus' wrist gently and placed a gentle to kiss the the palm of his calloused hand. Remus pressed his head into the crook of Sirius' neck as they tangled together on the single bed and in the burgundy sheets. Sirius curled into the taller boys warmth and they held each other impossibly closer, not willing to let go.

The end of their schooling years was impendingly close and they weren't ready to leave yet. They would take all of the time they could together in safety before the real world hit them and they had to go fight for Dumbledore and for their friends and for each other.

"We'll be okay. So will Peter, so will Lily and James, so will Alice and Frank, Marlene, Mary, Dorcas, everyone. We all will. And then when it's all over, and that fuckface has lost, me and you are going to have a kid and James and Lily and Peter will be the godparents and it'll be amazing. Yeah?"
Sirius murmured sleepily.

Remus laughed, wrapping his arms around Sirius' waist and holding him tightly. Sirius closed his eyes and let the soft lull of Remus' heartbeat send him to sleep. Remus pressed his hand to the small of Sirius' back and moved him closer so he wasn't hanging off the bed. Sirius wrapped his legs around Remus' waist to eliminate the little space in his just barely concious state and his arms went around Remus' neck.

"Sneaky bastard."
Remus mumbled sleepily and Sirius snorted before his breathing evened out once more and he was asleep, tangled into Remus like he would float away if he let go.

Lily and James sat in their living room 4 years after they finished up their last year at Hogwarts. Lily had Harry in her lap and she stroked his dark chocolate locks. Those same locks that resembled those of her husband who sat next to her with a frown. He had just gotten home from seeing Frank who had some important news and he hadn't spoken a word.

"James love, what's wrong?"

"Wait until Sirius and Remus get here."

Sirius and Remus turned up and Sirius immediately went for Harry, lifting up the small boy from his mothers lap and holding him in a tight hug. Harry giggled as Sirius squeezed him a little bit tighter before kissing Lily's cheek and hugging a shaken up James.
"You alright, mate?"

Remus greeted them the same way before sitting next to Sirius who was still holding a contented Harry. Remus ruffled Harry's hair, causing the young boy to giggle.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"The...the McKinnon's are...dead."

Lily's hand flew to her mouth and Remus and Sirius grabbed each others hands, shocked and horrified.
"Holy shit."

Lily sobbed into James' shoulder and Remus brought Sirius to him and hugged him without squashing Harry. Sirius had a tear roll down his cheek and he breathed in Remus' scent, making sure he memorized it in case the worst happened.

Remus was away for weeks at a time, and nobody knew where he went.

But there was someone who was ratting out members of the order.

Remus was actually trying to get a community of werewolves on their side before Voldemort got them, so he went there. It just so convieniently happened though, that he was gone when most of the people in the order were being killed.
