Chapter 11 - All\'s Well That Ends Well

Sirius was still quite drunk when he woke, sometime in the middle of the night, to find himself sleeping on the living room floor amid the photographs and liquor bottles. He didn\'t question why he was there, or why his pillow and blanket were wrapped around him. And he never noticed Snape sleeping soundly on the couch nearby. Rather, he merely decided to go upstairs to his own bed, stumbling unobservantly upstairs and into his room. Once there he fumbled his way to his bed and threw himself across it. Too tired, lazy and drunk to get undressed, he merely muttered his favourite spell, and was content to sleep in the nude, passing out again immediately thereafter.

Remus awoke after a full night\'s enforced sleep, a much calmer man. He went to see Albus right away, and almost refused his offer of tea, til the headmaster reassured him that there was nothing in it, with a laugh.

\"About my request,\" Remus began again, his amber eyes gazing steadfastly at Dumbledore. \"About the Order.\"

\"Yes, Remus, about your request,\" Dumbledore repeated softly. \"I do know why you are actually here, dear boy.\"

\"You do?\"

\"Yes, I know Sirius was here. And why.\"

Remus looked down at his hands, which were twisting themselves in his lap, and said nothing.

\"And I understand that you are upset with him, understandably so.\"

Remus nodded. \"That is why I wanted to find something to do somewhere else....\"

\"Remus,\" Albus said, \"please look at me.\"

Remus looked up, into those wise blue eyes.

\"You\'re upset with Sirius for being careless and thoughtless with your relationship after you\'ve been apart for so many years. No, wait just a moment..\" Dumbledore held up one hand as Remus started to say something. \"And yes, you have a right to be. But you also have to ask yourself something.\"

\"What is that?\" Remus asked, quietly, his heart aching at the mention of his lover\'s name.

\"How much time are you willing to lose by being angry with him now?\"

Remus frowned, looking up at the headmaster with a troubled gaze.

\"Being right does not always mean being happy.\" Dumbledore regarded the unhappy man with his wise old eyes. He rose from the chair, patted Remus affectionately, as he went back to his desk. \"Tell Sirius I\'ll be in touch with him later, and to please behave himself.\" When he turned around, Remus was already gone, as he knew he would be, and he chuckled warmly.


Snape awoke early in the morning to find that Sirius was no longer sleeping there. Looking around him, he decided that the room looked like it had been the scene of some sort of drunken orgy. Which gave him an idea. Gathering up his blanket and pillow, he added them to those which Sirius had left behind, making it look like a little lovenest on the floor. He smiled to himself at the impression it would make - either for an outsider, or for Sirius himself, who no doubt had no memory of the events of the night before and could easily be led into thinking that something had happened between them. Perhaps he would have his pleasant little interlude yet.

He decided he might as well check on Sirius, entirely for altruistic reasons his mind insisted, although his libido could have told him otherwise. He walked slowly and deliberately up the stairs, determined not to rush. His heart gave a lurch when he noticed that the door to Sirius\' room was open.......

He only intended to glance in, but when his eyes took in the sight that met them, he seemed unable to help himself, as his feet propelled him into the room. Sirius lay on the bed face down, gloriously naked. And completely asleep. Snape caught his breath at the sight, moving nearer to the bed, until he was close enough to touch him.

His hand moved, involuntarily it seemed, toward Sirius, but he managed to pull it back before it made contact. Just staring at that muscular body, still beautiful if somewhat thin, was making Snape quite hard, uncomfortably so, and his hand closed unthinkingly about his erection as he gazed. Merlin, how he wanted to take him right now, right there. But he had no wish to take advantage of his sleeping state, what fun was that? He wanted to gaze into those beautiful blue eyes, know that he was pleasuring him as much as he was being pleasured. He had left the potion he had brought in the kitchen. There would be time for that later.

His hand seemed to have a mind of its own, rubbing against his hardness, causing a small moan to issue from his lips. Sirius moved a little, and Snape almost jumped out of his skin, but he was merely shifting positions, stretching one leg out, giving a glimpse of what was hidden on the other side. Gods, Snape groaned, clutching at himself more tightly. It was the sight of that delectable looking ass that was the dark wizard\'s undoing more than anything. Throwing caution to the winds, and praying that Sirius didn\'t awaken in the middle of his act, he furiously masturbated as he fantasized about the things he would like to do to Sirius Black - beginning and ending with that luscious ass - until he reached his release, silently and swiftly, trembling as he did so, letting out his pentup breath in a gasping shudder.

Luckily for him, Sirius never moved, nor gave any other indications of life other than an occasional muffled snore. Snape pulled himself together, grateful for small favours, straightening himself up as he went - his robes had ended up in quite a disarray. He walked into the hallway without a backward glance and headed straight for the bathroom to clean himself up. He was also oblivious to another presence at the end of the hallway, a new arrival who stared at him with open mouth and huge eyes as he entered the bathroom.

Tonks had returned unexpectedly to #12 Grimmauld Place, having heard of Remus\' presence at Hogwarts, and surmising that her cousin would need her there, as he was bound to be in a state about it. She had been surprised when she entered the house to find the little lovenest set up in the living room, and she smiled to herself at the sight. Maybe things weren\'t so bad after all, if Remus had come back already? She looked for them in the kitchen, found only the potion sitting on the table, and had then tiptoed up the stairs, just to ascertain that everything was indeed all right, before she left again...............

..........but the sight of Snape coming from Sirius\' room stopped her cold. Holy Merlin! she breathed, watching the potions master cross into the bathroom and out of sight. What was Sirius thinking? She hadn\'t thought he had it in him, but especially not with Snape! She thought of going into his room and shaking some sense into him, but decided that wasn\'t the best course of action, so she crept downstairs again, wondering what the hell she was going to do. She hoped that Remus would never find out - it would kill him, she knew.

She felt the need for some ice cream pressing on her, so she headed straight for the kitchen. And almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Remus entering the room ahead of her. Her eyes grew big as he turned to look at her, smiling almost shyly. \"Remus!\" she gasped, trying to keep her voice on something of a normal level.

\"Hello, Tonks,\" he greeted her warmly. \"I guess you\'re surprised to see me? I mean, considering.........after all.............I see you spent the night with him last night, I\'m glad you did, that he wasn\'t alone.\"

\"I did?\" Tonks squeaked out without thinking, then wished she could take it back.

\"I saw the things in the living room,\" Remus laughed. \"I see you two made quite a night of it, didn\'t you?\" He shook his head indulgently. \"Where is Sirius now? Upstairs?\"

Tonks remembered the state of the living room. If it wasn\'t from Sirius and Remus, then it must be......she almost clapped her hand to her mouth to keep from screaming it out. \"Yeah, guess so,\" she chuckled in a stiff manner, but as Remus make a move to go upstairs, she put a hand on his arm quickly. \"No, don\'t go up there,\" she said, afraid that by now Snape was out of the bathroom and back in Sirius\' bed. \"I think he\'s busy.......yes, that\'s it, he\'s busy. Why don\'t we go into the... I mean, not, why don\'t we go out and get something for breakfast and then come back and see him? Yes, that sounds like a good idea, doesn\'t it, Remus?\"

Remus, not being stupid at all, looked at her suspiciously. Something was clearly not right here. What did Sirius\' cousin not wish him to see? His eyes narrowed, as the wolf inside stirred. \"I have to talk to him, Tonks, there are some things I have to tell him that can\'t wait.\" He turned toward the stairs again, and once again, Tonks tried to stop him.

\"But I think he\'s sleeping. You don\'t want to disturb his beauty sleep. He needs all that he can get!\" She attempted to laugh at her own joke, but by now Remus didn\'t see anything humorous in the situation at all.

\"I\'ve seen him sleep before, Tonks, many times. And he is beautiful just the way he is.\" He turned once more to go.

\"Remus!\" Tonks wailed.

He turned his head toward her, expectantly. \"Yes? Is there something you\'re trying to tell me?\"

\"Oh, Remus, my cousin is a big idjit, that\'s all,\" she said, her voice saddened, and filled with sympathy. She hated to be the one to tell Remus this - she sincerely liked him, in fact she loved him almost as much as she loved her cousin and she didn\'t want to hurt him. But better she tell him than that he walk in on anything. \"H.he... he\'s not ..... he\'s not alone!\" she managed to gasp out.

\"He\'s not what!?\" Remus paled, while the wolf within began to growl. Nothing was going to stop from him going up there now. He was so angry that at that moment he almost walked out of the house again, but he was determined to see for himself what was going on, before he did.

\"He\'s not alone, Snape is up there too! I just saw him!\" Tonks almost wailed.

Remus didn\'t say another word. He moved up the stairs, quietly, in a stalking fashion, sniffing, searching for another scent, a strange male scent. Which he found - and which he soon identified as Severus Snape. Of all the people, why Snape, he thought? How did Snape manage to get here so quickly, to take advantage of the situation? Had they lain in the living room together then, having made love there?

He followed the scent down the hallway - it led directly to their room - his and Sirius\' - and even into the room. He felt a great pain inside of him. He couldn\'t believe Sirius capable of this, it made no sense. Once inside the room, he paused. There was Sirius - lying on the bed - naked, clearly. And taking a great whiff of the air, he smelled sex - recent sex at that. His heart told him to get the hell out of there, but he had to know more, as if he wanted to punish himself, to rub it in. He approached the bed sadly, following the scent of the sex, and was surprised to find that it stopped short of the bed itself. What the.....? Had they had sex standing up, or what?

Sirius never stirred as his lover approached, apparently dead to the world. Remus moved stealthily, lowering his head to Sirius\' exposed neck, sniffing at him appraisingly. Dear god, his eyes almost watered at the heavy odour of liquor which met his nostrils. Apparently Sirius had drunk himself into insensibility - again. He could smell various types of liquor too - it must have been quite a night. Then how had he managed....? Remus tentatively licked his neck, tasted the liquor, then again, to get down another layer, to find the Snape smell which surely would be there - but he could only smell himself, a familiar scent, not Snape. And it all began to make sense to him. Snape had been here, yes, undoubtedly, in this room, and Snape apparently had had sex, but not with Sirius, and Sirius probably never knew he was there. He breathed a big sigh of relief - here he was jumping to conclusions about Sirius when apparently all his lover was guilty of was being drunk and tearing up the house. He would deal with Snape later, right now he wasn\'t important.

Remus bent his head to his lover\'s neck again, wanting to cleanse him of the stale liquor scent and imprint him again with his own scent. He licked his neck firmly, lovingly, licked his mark which was still there, of course, before biting down on it gently. He felt Sirius stir beneath him, and he was filled with an overwhelming desire for his mate. He loved Sirius so much, and the thought of being away from him at all pained him. He had no intention of losing any more time, certainly not on purpose, life was just too short for that. He impatiently removed his clothes, ala Sirius, continuing to run his tongue over Sirius\' beautiful body. Across his broad shoulders, along his shoulder blades, into his armpit, and down his arm. Down his spine, all the way to the tailbone and into the cleft at the base, right where his luscious ass started. He pressed his tongue into the crack, parted the cheeks with his hands, and lapped at his lover\'s opening, loving the taste of him, as the wolf growled inside, \"Mine!\"

He felt Sirius stirring more, and he felt an urgent need to kiss him, to press his lips against his, to take him now. He moved back along Sirius\' body, until his face was close to his lover\'s, watching him as he swam back to consciousness.

Sirius was aware of the tongue on his body, in a distant sort of way, and at first he thought he was dreaming. It was all so familiar. It felt like Remus, but he knew that couldn\'t be, Remus wasn\'t there. So it must be a dream. But when he felt the tongue that lapped at his ass, he began to wonder. And when it stopped, he knew it must be a dream, but he opened his eyes anyway, and he was surprised to see Remus there, looking back at him.

He blinked a few times, trying to clear his vision. But Remus was still there, looking at him most lovingly, stroking his cheek softly.

\"Remy!\" he gasped. \"Y.you\'re back!\" He almost wept for joy, his lips curving up into a big smile. \"Oh Remy, I missed you so much. I\'m so sorry, I am so so so sorry.......\"

Remus laid a gentle finger against his lover\'s lips, shushing him. \"Ssh, love, I\'m back, and I\'ll never leave you again. I love you Sirius, I really love you so much!\" And he kissed him, fiercely and passionately, while in the back of his mind he could hear Dumbledore\'s wise words ringing in his ears - \'How much time are you willing to lose by being angry with him now?\' And he knew the answer was - none.

He took Sirius into his arms, their bodies coming together in the most natural fashion. He could feel Sirius tremble with emotion, and he himself was fairly vibrating with happiness. \"Let me finish claiming you,\" he whispered, \"marking you, my love,\" as he moved his tongue over Sirius\' cheeks, licking a trail down to his jawline, and then down his neck, his chest - taking each nipple into his mouth and sucking on it briefly. He pressed Sirius down onto the bed as he moved, running his tongue everywhere - even into his navel - all over his abdomen, up his cock, across his balls, all over both legs and every single toe, til Sirius thought he would burst.

\"I\'m yours, Remy, I\'m yours!\" he protested, \"now please do something with me!\"

Remus laughed at his impatient lover. \"What would you have me do, love?\"

\"Take me, Remy - take me now. I want you to be inside of me, I want to feel you inside of me. I want you to fuck me, please!\" His voice held a note of urgency, of impatient desire, that made Remus moan in answer.

Remus straddled Sirius, rubbing against him in his urgency, their cocks creating friction as they touched.

\"I\'m going to fuck you, Sirius, \" he whispered, his voice hoarse with lust, \"I\'m going to fuck you hard and you\'re going to come hard, just for me!\" He leant down into his lover, his lips claiming his fiercely, passionately, his tongue demanding entrance to Sirius\' mouth, which was immediately granted. He pressed his tongue inside, remapping what was so familiar to him, tasting Sirius\' tongue with his own, dancing with it, sucking on it. Sirius wrapped his legs tightly about Remus, holding on to him.

In the back of his mind, Remus was aware that Snape was still in the house - he must be - and he wanted to do something for him. So rather than set a silencing charm, as they normally did, he set one calculated to amplify the sounds of their lovemaking, muttering a quick apology to Tonks in his mind.

\"Tell me how badly you want me,\" Remus urged Sirius. \"Tell me what you want me to do you!\"

Sirius, unaware of the amplification charm, moaned loudly. \"Gods, Remy, I want you so badly I can taste it. I want to feel your hard cock inside of me, up my ass as far as you can reach!\"

Tonks was sitting at the kitchen table when she heard her cousin and his lover and she almost died laughing. Without thinking, she reached for the potion on the table, and drank it in one fell swoop.

Snape, who had still been in the bathroom, came out of it in a hurry, at the sound of the two men, rolling his eyes. Damnation! So much for his plans! Foiled again! He wished he had the nerve to just barge into that room and join them in their lovemaking. But the fact that he actually hated Lupin was a deterrent to that idea. Right now he just wanted to get the hell out of there.


Remus brushed his fingers against Sirius\' opening, gently, maddeningly. Deliberately slow, knowing it would provoke him into another impassioned plea, which it did.

\"REMUS! Please quit teasing me and fuck me!\" Sirius pleaded. He accio\'d the jar of lube, impatiently, causing Remus to smile. \"I need to prepare you don\'t I, love?\"

\"No, just need you in me now!\"

Remus responded to the urgency in his lover\'s voice, covering his very hard cock in the lube. He positioned himself between Sirius\'s legs, raised his lover\'s hips to just the right angle, and thrust himself in, very suddenly and very hard. Sirius gasped at the sheer pleasure of it, throwing his head back and screaming out, \"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!\"

Tonks put her hands over her ears, still laughing. But altogether too much information.

\"Mine!\" Remus said, as he drew back and slammed into Sirius again, hard. \"ALL MINE!\"

Sirius howled wordlessly, arching his hips to meet Remus\' thrusts.

\"Say it again, Sirius, say it again,\" Remus urged him, taking his lover\'s cock in his hand and stroking it in time to his thrusts.

\"Fuck me, Remy, fuck me hard!\" Sirius moaned loudly. Remus decided to give Tonks a break, and he changed the amplify charm to a silencing one, for which she was indeed grateful.

He moved inside Sirius even harder, slamming in and out of him as he continued to chant, \"Mine, mine!\" like a protective mantra against the intrusion of the outside world. Not anyone or anything would ever come between them again - he would make sure of that.

Sirius felt his orgasm nearing - Remus was driving him crazy, as usual, and all he could see, hear, feel, taste, touch was Remus.

\"Love... you... Remy...\" he moaned.

\"Sirius, cum for me!\" Remus urged him, \"cum for me, now, my love!\"

Sirius couldn\'t hold back any more - he came hard and swift - screaming out, \"REMUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!\" at the top of his lungs - his orgasm pulsating and covering Remus\' hand in great sticky spurts. His lover\'s voice, and his hot climax, sent Remus spiralling over the edge as well - he slammed into Sirius a few more times, before he came inside of him, deeply and warmly, feeling his own seed reaching deep into his lover.

Sirius pulled Remus down, locking his lips with the other wizard\'s, breathing raggedly into his mouth, as he came down from his climax. Remax returned the kiss passionately, trying to control his own breathing as he did so. He rolled over onto his back, pulling Sirius with him as he did so. As they assumed their usual post-coital position for cuddling and snuggling.

\"Remy, I.... love... you,\" Sirius moaned softly, and Remus replied, \"I love you too, Siri.\"

\"Remy, I missed you so much, so very much.......\" Sirius whispered.

\"I was only gone a day, love,\" Remus teased gently, even though that one day had been hell to him too.

\"Don\'t be mad at me Remy when you see the house, okay?\" Sirius managed to look sheepish.

\"I\'ve seen the house, love,\" Remus replied, \"we\'ll clean it up, don\'t worry. I take it Snape was here last night?\"

\"Was he? I don\'t remember?\" Sirius said, nuzzling Remus\' neck softly.

\"It\'s all right, love, it doesn\'t matter,\" Remus replied lightly, content to hold Sirius, wrapping his arms around him tightly. But he knew that he and Snape would cross paths, no doubt about it, if he continued in his efforts to bed Sirius. And the wolf within growled a warning.

In the meantime, Snape wished nothing more than to get the hell out of the house. He stalked down the stairs, almost forgot his potion, and at the last minute changed direction for the kitchen. Where he found Nymphadora Tonks sitting at the kitchen table, laughing her ass off, next to her the potion bottle.

\"I\'ll take that, if you don\'t mind!\" he snapped, reaching for the bottle. And pausing when he lifted it, as he realized it was far too light. And empty. His eyes grew big, as he looked from the bottle to Tonks and back again.

Tonks became aware of the potion master\'s presence as she turned her head toward him, and a warm glow seemed to fill her at the sight of him. \"Sevvy!\" she breathed softly. \"How nice to see you.\"

And Snape groaned very very loudly.
