All This Time, You Were Missing From My Heart

"Rem?" Sirius asked as he stood from the chair and handed the two love letters to the werewolf, who was sitting on the couch.

"Yeah?" Remus grinned as he looked over the pieces of parchment. He stood as well, planning on owling the letters right away.

"Do you...I mean...we're still married aren't we?" Sirius rushed the last part all together. Remus looked up at him, his eyes hard with shock. They softened when he looked into Sirius's nervous ones.

"Only...only if you want to be," Remus answered honestly. Sirius quelled both of their fears and kissed the other man. Remus dropped the forged letters on the table and wrapped his arms around his husband.

Sirius deepened the kiss and pushed Remus down onto the couch. The two spent the night, pardon the cliché, renewing their long forgotten love.

When Harry woke up the next morning, it took him a minute to realize that he'd fallen asleep on Draco's couch.

"You know, Mme Pomfrey's going to kill you," Draco laughed as Harry sat up. Harry turned to where he was reading.

"What time is it?" Harry groaned.

Draco picked up his wand," Tempus."

The time appeared in the air and told the two that it was 6:17.

"You should really go back to the Hospital Wing. I told Mme Pomfrey I'd send you back when you woke up," Draco said, grinning at something.

"I don't want to go back!" Harry whined childishly.

"Would you rather go to class and face everyone or would you like to just lay around with somebody waiting on you?"

"Ergh. Madam Pomfrey makes me nervous with all the mother-Henning, but I really don't want to go to class and face Ron or Hermione," Harry answered, leaning back.

"Just pretend you're asleep and Poppy won't both you," Draco shrugged, going back to his book. "You're on a first name basis with Madam Pomfrey?"

Draco shrugged," She's going to take me o as her apprentice when we graduate. Hogwarts needs another qualified medi-wizard."

Harry looked up at him in surprise. "You're going to work here?"

"Yup!" Grinned Draco as he put his book down. Had he had his glasses on, Harry would have noticed that Draco was re-reading The Two Towers, the second part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

"That's great!"

"Yeah. I talked to the Headmaster about it and he agreed. I'd rather stay at Hogwarts than go to St. Mungo's to work. Professor Flitwick and Poppy are teaching me the spells in a couple months."

"I wonder what I'll end up doing," Harry pondered.

"Quidditch, prolly," Draco said, standing. He handed Harry's glasses to him.

"Thanks. No, I'll prolly do something like an auror until Voldemort's defeated," Harry sighed, putting on the specs. As he did, some red hair fell into his eyes. He gasped. "DRACO!"

Draco gulped, seeing the look on Harry's face. He ran as Harry started towards him. Draco knocked the portrait open and escaped the room, the angry boy close behind him.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Eep!" Draco ran past Remus as the werewolf headed towards the Hospital Wing, planning on seeing Harry. When he saw his friend's son with red hair, he cracked up. Draco grabbed Remus's shoulders and hid behind the amber-eyed man.

"Get back here!" Harry growled.

"Harry! You look like your mother!" Remus laughed. The reaction was instantaneous.

"My mum?"

Remus nodded. "I seem to remember Lily doing something reminisce of what you're doing now."

"Really?" Harry's eyes were hopeful.

"Yes. You have her temper, you know?"

"Well, sometimes, it calls for it," Harry glared at Draco.

"Hey, Remy, you forgot your wand," Sirius stuck his head out of an invisible door. He burst out laughing when Harry came into his line of vision.

Harry scowled at his godfather. Seeing that Harry's attention was away from him, Draco shot off down the hall. Harry growled and took off after the blonde Slytherin.

"Draco wants him," Sirius shook his head, laughing.

"They would not be good together," Remus chuckled, watching the two disappear from sight.

"Nope. Hey, you saw him, now get back in here!" Sirius pulled Remus back into the room.

***

Draco dodged several people as the Boy-Who-Lived chased after him.

"Draco! If you don't get back here and reverse this, I'll hex you so far into the future that your adopted children will feel it!" Harry shouted as those around laughed at his now red hair.

Draco 'eeped' again as he tripped over someone's feet. Harry caught up to him and grinned a feral grin as he cornered the silver-eyed teen.

"Don't hurt me!"

"Take off the charm," Harry hissed.

"I don't have my wand with me," Draco whimpered. Harry threw his hands up in expiration.

In a spur of the moment decision, Harry had Draco by his ear and was hauling him back to get his wand. Draco turned, pink as the students laughed again.

"Humph! Serves you right," Harry said as he noticed Draco's embarrassment.

"Ow! Harry, that hurts!" Draco whined as he was forced to hunch over to keep his ear from being pulled.

"You should have turned my hair red, then."

"Ergh! Ow ow ow ow ow!" Draco gasped, trying to scuttle closer to the offending hand.

***

"When are you going to send those love letters?" Sirius asked, running a hand over Remus's chest.

"I dunno. I'm thinking I let them stew in their feelings awhile until I'm sure they'll meet each other," Remus grinned. Inside, he was worried slightly. If Sirius knew just whom he was trying to set up, he'd have a conniption fit.

"Sounds good. Who're you trying to get together, anyway?" Sirius asked after kissing his husband.

"Just a student," Remus shrugged. "I think they really like each other."

Sirius nodded. At the moment, his mind was occupied on other things, namely the hand on his inner thigh travelling slowly upwards. So, naturally, he didn't think much of what Remus had said.

"Oh, Merlin. I've missed you, Remy," Sirius moaned as Remus straddled his hips.

***

"Take it off," Harry glared at Draco. The blonde pouted but picked up his wand. Ron and Hermione, who had joined them on their way back to Draco's room, were still laughing.

"Vicis suus capillago color dorsum," Draco pointed his wand at Harry's head. He frowned.

"What?" Harry furrowed his brow.

"It didn't change back!" Draco said, shaking his wand as one would a dried up pen.

"WHAT?!" Harry shouted.

Ron was laughing so hard, he had to lean on Hermione, and visa versa.

" I don't know why it isn't working!" screamed Draco in frustration. He tried the spell again. "Vicis suus capillago color dorsum."

Harry's hair stayed the bright cherry colour.

"Ergh!"

"I'm going to kill you!" Harry lunged at the ex-Malfoy.

"Help!" Draco screeched as he ran from the Gryffindor.

"Do you think we should help him?" Hermione asked Ron.

Ron shook his head. "No way. Draco deserves it."

"We're evil," Hermione snickered as they watched Harry chase the other boy.

"This is bloody brilliant."

"Maybe we should help him," Hermione said worriedly as Harry gained on Draco.

"Yes! Help the poor homeless boy!" Draco yelled as he passed the two bystanders.

At this, Hermione and Ron laughed again. Harry managed to get close enough to tackle the 'poor homeless boy'.

Draco screamed as he fell. Harry grinned triumphantly from his spot on Draco's legs.

"Huh. Foreplay," Draco grinned despite his fear of the Boy-Who-Lived.

"Nuhuh. Not scaring me this time," Harry smirked. "Nice try, though."

Draco shrugged slightly. "Let me up!"

"Yeah right. Not until you fix my hair," Harry glared.

"You know, I'd really love to stay and watch this, but I'm going to eat breakfast before we have to go to Transfiguration," Ron grinned.

"Ugh...food," Harry wrinkled his nose.

"You know...you two would be a good couple," Hermione told Harry and Draco, after the blonde had said that Harry needed to eat. "You look comfy enough with each other."

"Why does everybody assume that I'm gay?" Harry shouted.

"You mean, you're not?" Ron asked, his tone taking on a hint of disbelief.

"Well, no, I am, but why do people always think that?"

"Maybe because you've never had a girlfriend," Ron replied.

"So the word 'gay' isn't plastered to my forehead?"

"No. And even if it was, it'd be hid by your concealment charms," Draco said, looking comfortable. "Oh! That's it!"

"What?" Harry looked down at him. Ron and Hermione looked upset at the mention of the charms that hid the bruises on their friend.

"The reason your hair isn't changing back might be from your concealment charms."

"It's certainly possible," said Hermione when everyone turned to her.

"Eh," Harry shrugged. "Go on then."

"Get offa me first, prat," Draco scowled.

"What, you can't cast a spell laying down?"

"Did you take the Numbness Potion on an empty stomach? Cause it can really mess you up," Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry's fake American accent.

"Really? Didn't know that!" Harry grinned.

Hermione, Ron, and Draco just looked at each other.

"Maybe we should take you back to the Hospital Wing," Hermione's voice was uncertain. "The ignatia in the potion reacts like this when put in a potion with aconite and taken on an empty stomach."

"I'm not leaving until my hair's back to normal!" Harry crossed his arms stubbornly.

"If you get off of me, I can change it back," Draco said.

"Okay."

Though Harry got off of his legs, Draco didn't stand for several minutes.

"Hurry up!" Harry bounced insanely.

"I can't! My legs are asleep, thanks to you and your big arse!" Draco muttered.

"Is it just me or is that potion really making Harry crazy?" Ron asked, glancing at his best friend.

Together, Hermione and Draco said," He's crazy."

Draco stood up and picked up his wand from where he'd dropped it.

"Aperio suus corpus," Draco waved his wand. The charm disappeared, showing the bruises that Mme Pomfrey could not heal. "Okay. Now, let's see. Vicis suus capillago color dorsum."

Finally, the red hair changed back to its normal black.

"Okay. You'll have to put on the concealment charms. I suck at them," Draco threw Harry's wand to him.

"Thank you!" Harry pointed his wand at himself and replaced the concealment charms, much to the relief of Ron and Hermione, who hated having to see the Gryffindor boy like that.

"All right. I can go to the Infirmary now!" Harry chirped. To make matters worse, the potion caused him to fall over, asleep.

"From now on, keep him away from the Numbness Potions!" Draco groaned.

"Definitely."
