___________________________________________<br/><br/>It was well beyond ten o clock at night when Remus finally got back from the library. He had started out the morning bright and early at the student lab, and despite having had a hectic day (or maybe, precisely because of that) Remus was still wearing his lab overcoat on top of his knit.<br/>Remus had intended on sneaking in and locking the door behind him, bracing himself for another several hours of typing out his handwritten notes on the typewriter, but found himself halted to a stop barely getting past his doorstep.<br/>The sight of his room caught him off guard; it took him a couple of moments to place the change but once he did, he felt his eyes go glossy. The wooden boards, which had been leaning up against his cabinet doors for the past week, were suddenly gone - his mattress, however, was no longer on the floor. Remus and Sirius had carried the frame indoors, and Remus had been well aware of the fact that the bed was missing its hardware, despite not immediately having found the time to go out and buy some, and the knowledge that someone else had taken that upon them was absolutely overwhelming.<br/>After having taken a couple of moments to gather himself, Remus turned out of his room, directing himself towards Sirius' bedroom.<br/>Yet again finding the door ajar, Remus knocked.
