Remus flung himself onto his fourposter with a huge sigh. Finally, he was finished patrolling the halls as a prefect. As he lay there exhaustedly, he heard the door creak open and familiar footsteps traipsed in.

"You know," Sirius's voice floated to Remus, "it's your own fault for being a prefect."

"Shut it," Remus groaned, "I'm tired and grouchy and I just want to have some peace for a bit."

"Come down and have a butterbeer with Prongs, Wormtail, and me," Sirius said. "It'll help you relax." Remus heard the teasing tone in his friend's voice.

"No," Remus muttered, "you guys will only wear me out more." He closed his eyes and continued to lay there.

"I promise we won't bother you," Sirius whined. Remus had to grin at that.

"Uh huh," he mumbled sleepily, "you'll only take advantage of me in my tired state. No thanks." He could almost feel Sirius pouting at him. He heard footsteps and thought Sirius had given up and was going down, but the footsteps got louder.

A wet nose snuffled into his limp hand. Glancing to the side, he saw a shaggy black dog looking dolefully up at him.

"No," Remus said, a little more forcefully. Padfoot began to whimper and pawed at Remus. "Puppy eyes won't work on me."

Remus closed his eyes again but groaned inwardly when one side of his bed sank a few inches. He knew Sirius wouldn't give up until he'd gotten what he wanted. Padfoot began to whine and bark, nudging Remus with his nose and paws.

"What's the magic word?" Remus sighed in defeat.

Suddenly, he felt heat emanating from right above him. He opened his eyes in surprise to stare right into a pair of silver orbs.

Remus's heart began to beat faster and a blush stained his cheeks as he realized that Sirius had changed back and was straddling him. They were only a few inches apart.

"Please?" Sirius asked softly. Remus stared into those mesmerizing eyes and couldn't speak. At Remus's silence, Sirius smiled and Remus was sure he'd never seen anything so beautiful.

"I'll take your silence as a 'yes,'" Sirius said triumphantly. He pulled Remus off the bed and dragged him down the stairs.

"Look what Padfoot managed to drag in," James grinned. "Hello, mate. How was patrolling?"

"Exhausting," Remus groaned as he fell into a chair. He buried his head in his hands as Padfoot ran madly around the common room barking excitedly. James smirked.

"So how did Padfoot convince you to come down?" James asked innocently.

"He promised not to bother me," Remus moaned. "Liar."

"My dear Moony," James laughed, "why would you ever believe something like that from Padfoot?" Remus shook his head in exasperation.

"I have no idea," Remus mumbled.

Padfoot finally stopped running and barking. He flopped onto Remus's lap, panting wildly. Absently, Remus began to scratch behind Padfoot's ears as he wagged his tail happily.

James smiled as he looked at his two best friends. Remus was petting Padfoot with his eyes closed peacefully, and Padfoot had his tongue lolling as if he were lying in heaven.

He had a pretty good idea why Remus had allowed himself to be dragged down into the common room.
