Chapter 1

Sirius looked up from the parchment on his desk. He cast a glance in the direction of Remus, who was sitting by the window on the other side of the large class room. They were doing a transfiguration mock exam, the real thing being only a month away. Ever since Christmas, the teachers had barely been able to talk about anything but how important the NEWTs were.

Across the room Remus stretched and sighed. With his eyes concentrated on the parchments in front of him he nonchalantly started toying with a lock of his hair. Sirius gazed at him admiringly. He could never get tired of watching Remus. He was so pretty. And so hot...

However, now was not a good time. He'd better try to do a good job with this test, the NEWTs being so important and all. He forced his eyes away from Remus and focused his attention back onto the parchment.

Remus shifted in his seat and coughed softly. This broke Sirius' concentration and he looked back in Remus' direction. He was still playing with his lovely caramel hair in a way that took Sirius' breath away. He tilted his beautiful face and closed his eyes halfway.

Sirius stifled a moan in his throat. Why does he have to sit there and look so damned sexy when I'm supposed to be concentrating on this stupid test! Again he forced himself back to work.

After just a few minutes he couldn't help checking out Remus again. Now he wasn't just touching his hair but gently caressing his ear and neck in a very specific way that never failed to turn Sirius on.

Sirius cursed under his breath. Damn you, Moony. You KNOW that drives me crazy... He suddenly realised something. Wait a minute... He's doing it on purpose. The little bastard knows I'm watching!

There was no doubt about it. Remus was doing a very good job acting as if nothing was going on, and his signals to Sirius were so discrete that nobody else in the room noticed. Now he was sucking seductively on the tip of his finger.

Oh, dear Merlin, whispered Sirius, burying his face in his hands and bumping it down on the desk. He was painfully aware of the increasing pressure in his pants.

Remus licked his lips in a subtle but insanely sensual way.

You're sooooo going to pay for this, you little pervert. Just wait till I catch you afterwards! You'll wish you'd never met me!

Remus theatrically wiped the back of his hand across his forehead as if to signal that it was too hot in the class room. He pulled at the knot of his red and gold tie and loosened it a bit so it didn't sit so tight around his neck.

Sirius thrashed in his seat. Professor McGonagall sent him a warning frown.

Ooooh - now you're pushing it, mate! he growled, as he watched Remus unbutton the two top buttons of his shirt.

Sirius desperately tried to catch his attention so he could mimic a death threat to him. He faked a loud cough, but only managed to draw the attention of some of the other students.

James, sitting somewhere between Remus and Sirius, looked inquiringly at him. Sirius pointed at Remus and gestured that James should get his attention for him. "NO WAY" he mouthed silently, and shot a nervous look in the direction of McGonagall's desk.

While trying to ignore Remus wiping imaginary sweat off his forehead, Sirius proceeded to roll up a piece of parchment into a little ball. He flung it as discretely as he could in Remus' direction.

"MISTER BLACK", thundered McGonagall. "Need I remind you, that any disturbing the class or, even worse, attempts to CHEAT can get you disqualified from the real exam?"

Pull yourself together, man! Have you no self control? he told himself. Just 20 more minutes. You can do it. You just have to stop looking at him, you idiot!

But of course he had to look.
