Notes: first line from Penknife

Date: October 6, 2004

There's a knock on the door of the bedroom at Grimmauld Place where Remus has been sleeping.

He opens the door, brushing sleep from his eyes, to see Hermione standing there. Her face is composed, but her hands twist round each other like writhing snakes, and her voice is just a bit shaky when she says, "I can’t sleep."

The house sighs and groans around them, dying, the way its family is dying.

Remus doesn’t speak, just opens the door wide and lets her in. Into the room, Into the bed. He knows why she’s here, and he’s willing to give it to her. He should be appalled -- he's sure Molly would be, and Ron and Harry as well. He tries not to think about Sirius, though the idea of seducing schoolgirls would probably have appealed, simply because of how wrong it is. And how unexpected. Sirius liked that combination, and he liked it in Remus especially.

"The soul of a pirate in the body of a librarian," Sirius used to say as he kissed and licked his way around said body, his laughter making Remus vibrate.

As Remus joins Hermione in bed, he wonders if the same could be said of her.
