Two hours later Remus woke up to voices.
„Do you think the two of them will be alright, Headmaster?“ Harry’s voice concerned even with the hoarse quality and pain underneath it.
„Yes Harry. Also Severus and Lucius should wake up soon. The shock from the vanishing Dark Mark was to much when you consider that the rest of the deatheaters died with Voldemort.“
„I wouldn’t have won without them. He would have killed me...But then the two stood beside me with Draco just behind me and we really won, headmaster! It is over HE is dead. For all time he will never be able to come back!“ Remus was shocked. He didn’t know the whole story but it seemed as if Voldemort was finally dead and with him all his followers. Exept those who were spies like Severus and Lucius.
„What is it with Professor Lupin and Siri?“ Harry asked. He hadn’t known that Siri and Lupin were gay otherwise he would have gone to them for advise concerning Lucius.
„They are finally together as it seemes. There has alsways been a tension between them but they were to frightened to admit it to themself. Now Moony seemed to have claimed Sirius for the time being. But it is not finiished. Remus has to claim him and then the bond must be recognized within the world. We should let them rest now.“ Albus interuoted as Harry began to ask what claiming meant. He wasn’t prepared to give the boy a sex talk concerning werewolf mating habits. The human and the wolf had t have sex with the chosen mate. Harry just had to wait till this was over and Remus could explain it to him.
Remus heard the door shut quietly. He opened his eyes and looked down to see
Siri sleeping cuddled against his chest. He seemed to be so fragile but when
he thought about Siri’s past Remus had to stiffle a growl rising in his
throat. A uncaring family left Siri not knowing how to care for others and be
happy. Then school where everyone wanted him just because he was so damn beautiful.
Then James‘ and Lily’s death and Peter’s betrayel...Azkaban
and Remus believing him to be a traitor. Finally today Peter’s admission
of an earlier betrayal and the almost rape...even after that Sirius was still
so beautiful and innocent. And he loved Remus as much as Remus loved him back.
Moony had his mate or rather would have after the two, or better said three
of them completed their bond, their mating.
Moony could hardly wait for Sirius to wake up and look into those beautiful eyes see that hos mate was unharmed from earlier. Remus knew that Siri was okay but would like it to have him up and around. But he should rest a bit more before even discovering that the war was over.
With that in mind Remus moved to stand up to look after the two Slytherins lying on the beds next to Siris‘.
„Lupin, what are you doing uo and around?“
Surprised Remus looked over to see the two men looking at him for the first time in their live without hate, malice or any other mask they put on to hide behind.
„I wanted to look how you two are doing. I heard Albus and Harry talking. Siri needs his rest and...“ he shrugged and sat down on a chair between the beds of Lucius and Severus.
„Did he wake up?“ Severus asked.
„Yes just after we arrived here. Blamed himself for James‘ and Lily’s death because Peter wanted him and had he given him what he wanted he wouldn have betrayed us. Or so he thinks. I just happy that the rat didn’t succed in raping him. Siri would have died if he had been his...“ Remus couldn’t continue. It shocked him to the core to know that Siri would have probably killed himself had it been otherwise. Also Remus didn’t want the two men to know that Siri was still a virgin.
„I think iit would have destroyed him had Pettigrew been his first. I think he didn’t want anyother that you to be with him. But then he thought you could never love him. So he stayed a virgin.“ Lucius tried to keep the smile out of his voice as he told Lupin that. He knew the two were in love after what he had seen before. Now they just had to understand that.
„How...how did you know that?“
„I overheard Harry and Sirius rtalking as Harry asked him about sex and Sirius answered he couldn’t help because he didn’t know. I was shocked to hear this because Sirius Black had been the most beautiful boy/man at school!“
„That’s true but he was hurt to much from his family to trust any other than one close to him.“ Severus said. He knew personally what it was like to be born in such a family. He wasn’t a virgin but found it hard to trust others. Now he was in love but could,would never tell said person.
