Sirius grabbed Remus's wrist and started running. He could feel the raindrops on his hair, water trickling down his neck and his shoulders starting to chill. He ran towards the castle, feeling Remus only as extra weight behind him. He was at the head of the group; he couldn't see James or Peter but he trusted James to get both back to the common room. The rain was getting heavier and Sirius could feel water slipping down into his shoes, making it harder to run.

Finally, a massive black shape loomed out of the rain clouds. Sirius found it within himself to pick up his feet a little higher and then he was out of the rain, still soaking. His wand was stuck to the material of his jeans but he pulled it out and cast a drying spell. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Remus do the same. Then, a soaking wet James and Peter crashed into the door. Within minutes three of the Marauders were standing dry, but cold, in the entrance to Hogwarts school. Peter was flicking his wand and producing a puddle on the floor. James eventually sent a drying charm at him and they trooped up to their dormitory.

Sirius collapsed in the chair closest to the fire. He felt the heat entering his body at his feet and sliding up his body. Wave upon wave of warmth encased his body from the feet up to the waist. His shoulders, arms and head were still cold. Suddenly, a mug appeared in front of him. His hands grapsed it and warmth started entering that way, too. He raised it to his lips and swallowed. The hot chocolate drink scalded his tongue and throat but it was worth it. Sirius finished the drink in ten big swallows and felt thoroughly warmed up. He turned and swung his legs over the arm of the chair. He could watch James and Peter both huddling in their cloaks.

Remus was sitting in an arm chair, hot chocolate clasped in his hands; hands which were pale against the red mug. His arms and shoulders were still trembling slightly from cold and Sirius didn't know how Remus resisted the temptation. After what seemed like ages, Remus lifted the drink to his lips. Sirius watched his cheeks and lips go pink from the heat. Suddenly, he regretted finishing his drink so fast. He wanted to be like Remus; wait until the last moment to enjoy what he wanted.
