Remus loved Thursday afternoons. He had a free period at the end of the day and used this valuable time to run down to the prefects bathroom before the others got there. It was typically very quiet and he could easily enjoy a nice soak alone. So when the bell rang out through the school at half past one in the afternoon, Remus bounded up the steps to the Gryffindor common room and then into his room, grabbing his bag of toiletries. As soon as he'd come, Remus was gone again and making his way quickly to his sanctuary for the afternoon.
The boy took his time getting settled in and ran the water while brushed his teeth, and checked himself out in the mirror for a while. He wasn't amazed by what he saw but with a shrug he accepted that he wasn't repulsing. Wrapping a robe around his nakedness, Remus pulled out a book and flipped through the pages a while, speed reading through a chapter or two, trying to memorize bits as he went. There was a History of Magic midterm coming up and Remus was not very keen on failing it. But once the water was high enough he cast all these things aside and slipped into the piping hot water and bubbles.
The aroma of the suds made his eyes heavy as he sank lower into the bath, wetting his hair. His fingers raked through it as he sat up and leaned against the edge. This was just what he needed to talk the edge off. They were leaving for the winter holidays soon and the lads had all agreed to go to Italy together. It was supposed to be good fun and Remus was actually looking forward to spending time in a new country. The culture interested him and he was excited to be able to envelope himself in it for a short period of time. Just as Remus was beginning to think up a list of things to pack in his head, well ahead of time as usual, he heard the door crack open. It didn't bother him any, not now that his scars and other bits were hidden.
His eyes cracked open however and he spied an all too familiar face. It was the smug visage of Sirius Black. "Oh... Why hello there." He hadn't been expecting to see him, but couldn't honestly say he was disappointed to see the boy. "Come on in... the waters fine. Remus laughed and closed his eyes again going back to his happy place of relaxation.
