When Sirius pulled away, Remus barely loosened his grip around the other. His left hand remained tightly gripped around Sirius' jacket, while his right abandoned Sirius' neck, in favor for the crook of his neck. Out of breath and with blown pupils, the sudden light emitted by the  Moody's non-corporeal Patronus in the dark side street seemed almost painfully bright.<br/>The glowing cloud of smoke also served to cast enough light onto their actions, finally making Remus untangle himself from Sirius. Though his movements were made harsh by the sudden feeling of urgency, Remus moved with reluctance as he completely stepped away from Sirius, not looking at Sirius as he did.<br/>Remus cheeks were still flushed when he moved to step towards he Patronus, yet halting mid-movement as the smoke instead moved towards Sirius.<br/>"Area has been cleared. Two detained at Piccadilly. Consider your assignments terminated," Moody's voice spoke, matter of factly. "Return to your homes and await further instructions. Merry Christmas."<br/>Remus was barely able to hear the order, as his mind was racing around a million things. Once the street once again felt silent, Remus parted his lips to speak, but was forced to swallow them, as the Patronus moved another few feet to the side, placing itself in front of Remus.<br/>Suddenly hit with a deafening feeling of embarrassment, Remus was forced to face the fact that Moody expected the two of them to still be apart from each other. Filled with regret of having disobeyed direct orders because he couldn't seem to stay away from Sirius, Remus prepared himself to sit through another repeated message.<br/>"Lupin, report at meeting point November for briefing." At that, the Patronus dissappeared.<br/>Startled, Remus clenched his teeth, trying to force his heartbeat back to a normal pace. Still avoiding Sirius eyes, Remus glanced away, turning to look for the abandoned, still-lit cigarette he tossed. "I have to go."
