“Sirius put the regulation code down. It´s like the third time you´ve read it” said Remus exasperated.
.
The marauders were at the library, supposedly working on an essay, however the raven haired boy had done nothing on the past two ours but read the entire regulation code and making notes on it.
“Moony” started Sirius with a smug smile. “I´m just trying to find the loopholes on this antiquated thing.”
“Yes, Moony, imagine if we did something and professors couldn´t scolds us because technically we are following the rules.”
“Technically” mocked Remus “I won´t be helping neither of you with the essay.”
Both boys gave a grunt. Sirius finally let the text beside him and stared at the book in front of him. He started scribbling with not a lot of enthusiasm. Remus rolled their eyes. They already had lots of things to get them out of trouble. They usually didn´t get caught for pranks. Must of detentions James and Sirius served was due to their hot head temper. But actually getting caught? Not likely. Not when they had the map and the cloak at their service. However the loopholes came in handy on a way Remus could have never imagined.
Spring days at Hogwarts were rather hot. On January and even February one could still see the snow melting away. However as soon as spring arrived the castle got very warm. Maybe it was the stone that got heated by the radiant sun, or it might be the large crowd that gather on the halls.
Either way, entering a classroom was a miracle, and navigating through the hallways an odesy. Classrooms were charmed by the professors to be cool, this is the reason most students, on spring, spent their days outside. One could only find some coolness on the lakeshore or maybe under the shadow of a tree. The problem was, one could not just skip class, and the corridors were not enchanted. It only took a trip from the charms classroom on the second floor, to the potions classroom at the dungeons, to arrive sweaty and fatigued.
“I say we ditch potions.” suggested Sirius. He and James had enchanted some parchment to act as a fan and follow them around the halls.
“You really are tempting me.” said Remus arranging his robes. He could feel the back stick to his skin.
“We could go for a dip on the lake.” suggested Peter while fanning himself with a book.
“Great suggestions Mr. Pettigrew.” said McGonagall appearing out of now. Peter jumped dropping the book and Sirius let out a little chuckle. “In that case would you want me to write your names for detention or would you rather go first to the lake and then return to write them down yourselves gentlemen?”
“Minnie we were just daydreaming” said Sirius, and he received a stern look from McGonagall. Although Remus knew, she secretly didn´t cared being called like that.
“Yeah, we weren´t actually going to do it” intervened James “We were just letting out on the world.”
“Well, then I see no reason for you to continue to stand still on the hallways.” Concluded the professor. “Of you go.” She said shooing them. “Make sure they actually reach the classroom Mr. Lupin.”
“Will do professor.” Answered Remus. Sirius grumbled.
“If only professors knew” whispered Sirius.
The four boys started making their way towards potion classroom.
“Potter, Black, no magic use on the hallways.” Screamed professor McGonagall before they were gone, and with a flick of her wand the parchment that had been acting as a fan fell to the grown.
“God I´m going to die from these heat” complained Sirius as they reached the first floor.
He gave his parchment to James, and in returned the messy haired boy handed him an elastic. Sirius started putting his hair up on a ponytail and Remus couldn´t help but stare. The elastic was in-between his lips.
“Oh sorry.” Apologized Remus when he collided with another student.
“Admiring the view, were you, Moony?” mocked Sirius winking at him.
“Piss off Black” laughed Remus pushing Sirius´s face away from him.
He then proceeded to put an arm around Sirius´s waist. Because no matter how much hot the day was, Remus always felt the need to embrace the other boy. Sirius stood on his tippy toes and gave Remus a kiss.
“Awww you two are very gross.” Mocked James.
“Envy green doesn´t suit you Prongsie.” Replied Sirius.
“As if Pads.” James dodge Sirius playful punch and responded with one of his own. “I shall fight for Moony´s affection and devotion. I´d be a better boyfriend than you.”
They were now half wrestling. And that is how they arrived to the potions classroom until Slughorn gave them a warning look. Then the two best friends took their assigned seat. Remus and Peter sat behind them. As soon as the class started Sirius crouched down over a text. This was unusual and Remus tried to stretch his, already long neck, to see what the other boy was so immersed in.
“Aha!” exclaimed Sirius mid class.
“Mr. Black, what do you find fascinating about the armadillo bile mixture?” asked Slughorn.
“Oh, sorry professor, James was just explaining something about it and I finally got it. Maybe James can explain it to the whole class.”
James elbowed Sirius hard on the ribs. Sirius laughed.
“Pay attention both of you” warned Slughorn. But really with that kind old man face nobody took him as serious as they should.
“You traitor.” Whispered James.
“Please, it would have been hilarious to watch, Prongs. What would you have said?”
“Hilarious my arse. I´m bunking with Moony tonight.”
“Oi!” complained Sirius.
“Fine by me.” Smiled Remus.
“Moony!”
“The four of you! Be quiet!” scolded the professor.
The four of them laughed and Remus leaned a bit over his desk to steal a kiss from Sirius.
“What did you find on your interesting reading?” whispered Remus on Sirius ear.
He watched Sirius shiver. He loved having this effect on his boyfriend. However neither Remus nor Sirius were one to lose their coolness that easily.
“You´ll see tomorrow.” Answered Sirius with a mischievous smile.
.
“Where´s Sirius?” asked James when Moony arrived alone to the Gryffindor table.
“Said he´ll be down in one minute.” Shrugged Remus.
Sirius however took more than one minute. The breakfast time was almost over and he was nowhere to be seen.
“I´ll save him some toast.” Said peter packing some bread on a napkin.
“Where on earth might that git be?” wondered James as they stepped out of the coolness of the great hall.
They started making their way towards the school entrance.
“At least we can get some air at care of magical creatures.” Said Peter.
The boys had just walked a few steps but the stones that the castle was made of kept the heat very well. Remus felt as if he was inside and over. He could already feel the back of his robes sticking to his skin.
“Hey wait up!”
The three boys turned around at the sudden voice of his friend. Remus jaw dropped instantly. James, laughed hard at the reaction of his friend. Sirius was looking as fresh as someone could be. But that was not it. Sirius was walking towards them. He had his robe open and underneath it Remus could see it. Sirius was wearing a fucking skirt.
“You are undressing him with the eyes.” Bothered James pushing him lightly.
But Remus didn´t answered. He was taking in the view. Sirius walking towards them. His hair was tied up on a half pony with lose string framing his gorgeous face. He had put on a fake pearl necklace, with his black nail polish and a light eye makeup. But, oh merlin, his legs. Remus stood there blushing from the neck to his ears. Mouth slightly ajar.
“Morning lads.” Said Sirius in a cheerful tone when he caught up with them.
“Looking good Black.” Saluted Marlene as she passed with Lily. Sirius winked at them. The skirt was Lily´s after all.
“Mr. Black.” Called professor Slughorn. “What in the name of merlin are you wearing?”
James frowned deeply. Remus took one step to the front. But they were both interrupted before even being able to speak.
“I believe, Horace, Mr. Black is wearing the complete uniform.” Interrupted McGonagall, once again appearing out of nowhere.
“But that is not the correct uniform.”
“Mr. Black if I may “she asked extending on hand towards Sirius. The boy opened his satchel and took out the regulation code. “Regulation code, rule thirteen, section a” Professor McGonagall started to recite “Students must always wear the proper attire. Students must wear the full uniform. I´d say the uniform is complete unless he is missing his pointed hat but that item is optional.”
“Well, yes, but the necklace and the-“
“Subsection a.2 Students are allow to accessorize their uniform and their own appearance as long as the uniform itself remains complete and the house where they belong is visible.” Read again McGonagall. “I can clearly see the Gryffindor badge on his robe, can´t you Horace?”
“I can.”
“We´ll now that´s settle, off to class boys.”
“That was epic!” said Peter as soon as they were outside.
“Told ya.” Assured Sirius with a nonchalant smile. “Loophole!”
James was dragging Remus by the arm. He still hadn´t said anything but he could keep his eyes away from Sirius.
“Moony?” asked Sirius hesitantly. “Everything alright?”
The four boys stopped.
Remus opened his mouth to answer. But not a word left his throat, instead his ears and cheeks went red. Remus could literally feel his ears burning. What´s more he could feel the warmth travelling south on his body. This only helped to accentuate the redness of his face.
“I think you broke him.” Said James poking Remus´s face.
Sirius arched one brow. A devious smile was spreading on his face.
“Go ahead guys, I´ll fix my Moony.”
James and Peter continued making their way towards the edged of the forest where the classes took place.
“Admiring the view, were you, Moony?” asked Sirius moving closer towards the taller boy.
Sirius watched as Remus´s Adams apple went up and down. His boyfriend swallowed hard. Sirius yanked Remus by the tied making him crouched down. He pressed his lips to Remus´s. The kiss was slow but Remus felt as if being filled with and electrical charge. When Sirius pulled back Remus cleared his throat.
“You look fucking gorgeous.” He manage to say.
The one with red cheeks was not the raven haired boy. He looked to the ground. Sirius was well aware of his good looks but Moony giving him a complement was always something that caught him off guard. Because Moony found him attractive for something more than his looks. Although the skirt has definitely helping right now.
Remus arranged the front of his robes. Bless Merlin they were very loose, if not he wouldn´t hear the end of it from all of the boys. The arrived to the class. The students were already crowding around professor Kettleburn. Remus hugged Sirius from behind, carefully. He put his chin on his boyfriend shoulder. To his dismay, Sirius leaned back and let out a small, almost imperceptible yelp.
“Moony, are you-“
“Yes, shut up.” Whispered Moony trying to put some distance between the two of them without letting go. Sirius smiled smugly and leaned back once again.
“If I knew this was the reaction I´d get, I would have put a skirt on since December.” Mocked Sirius.
“Mhm” Remus nuzzled his nose on Sirius neck, burying his face. “You are so pretty.”
Sirius felt a wave of heat. And he knew it was more than just the season.
“Let´s ditch class, shall we?” he suggested.
Remus inhaled deeply.
“After you, Pads.”
Sirius gave him a light peck. Both boys silently despaired; latter, James had to lend them his notes and Sirius in fact started wearing skirts more often.
