Who: Remus and OPEN What: sleepwalking When: Sunday morning Where: Gryffindor tower Rating: I can't think of anything witty to write here so I will say *~*~PG~*~*
Dorcas, who had been playing with her camera, per usual, picked it up and snapped a shot of Remus, before moving it back to her lap and playing with the focus.
Lily had been waiting up in the common room for an hour in a bit of a panic, since she had woken up from a nightmare in James' bed and found that Remus was not in his bed. Not wanting to wake anyone else, she had gone down to the common room to check if he was there. Then she had gone on a walk around the school, to no avail. So when she had eventually elected to come back and wait for Remus, her nerves were more than just a little bit frazzled. She knew better than most people how Remus was plagued by horrible nightmares, and moreover, she knew exactly what that felt like, so she was understandably worried about him. She was his Mummy, after all
( ... )
Dorcas blinked at Lily once before turning her head to Remus. "Rough night?"
She contemplated being an asshole and taking a picture of Lily to make a point, but she didn't feel like dealing with it. Besides, she had no clue what the hell the point would have been, anyway. Oh, well.
"No, he's clearly been having a whale of a time," said Lily coldly, looking from Dorcas to Remus and back again. Her nerves were really not able for this kind of irritation this early in the morning, especially since she had been worried sick about her friend. "And I'm sure your invasion of privacy has just made his morning. Cheers for that."
Sirius lay beneath the warm sheets of his bed, his faced snuggled into his pillow. His breathing was light and calm. Nothing bothered him that night, but somewhere in the subconscious of his mind he knew something was wrong
( ... )
Remus was glad to see Sirius, his voice and his presence comforting. He had been okay, up until the point Dorcas had snapped up a photograph of him entering Gryffindor tower. He knew she liked taking photographs, but Remus was the most camera shy person in the castle, everyone knew that. So to take a photograph of him in the first place, never mind when he was looking fragile and lost, was not only rude but incredibly brave. He felt like picking a fight with Dorcas, but Lily had done that for him (he loved that girl and her fierce loyalty).
"Can we go back to the dorms?" Remus asked Sirius quietly, avoiding answering Sirius' question in a not so subtle way. Several eyes were on Remus, and he didn't like - no, hated - the attention on him.
Sirius' hand felt warm, like a hot water bottle had been pressed into his palm. Remus savoured the feeling while it lasted, shivering from being outside in the cold.
Char clawed her way back to the world of consciousness from underneath a large pile of throw pillows, in time to witness Remus' return from the outside world. Still yawning heavily, and stretching so far that it seemed her bones were about to pop out of their sockets, she greeted him a good morning.
