Of Tragedy and Love

As Sirius strutted across the lush green grounds of Hogwarts he pondered every thing that had happened in the past week. He had been hiding out in the frigid landscape of tall mountains that jutted into the clouds, when Dumbledore sent him an owl saying that Peter Pettigrew had been captured .He had stood trial for being an unregistered animagus. While he was at the Ministry he had been questioned about the Potter's and twelve muggles deaths. Both of the events had gone well, Pettigrew was now residing on Azkaban's dismal island while he was living at Grimmauld Place with Remus Lupin who had offered to keep him company.

"Life is good" Sirius stated to himself. But he knew that something was missing, something that would make life perfect, his raven hared, emerald eyed godson Harry Potter. Although Sirius couldn't think of anything better than living with Harry, he was reluctant to go get him. He had no idea how to raise a child and there were a few people who didn't think he was capable of the responsibility. He remembered the conversation he and Dumbledore had that morning about moving Harry out of his aunts' care.

"Hello Mr. Black" spoke Dumbledore without looking up form his work.

"Sir." Sirius sat in the chair he had dubbed as Sirius' Sexy Chair when he was at school.

"May I help you?"

"You can give me Harry's address." Sirius inquired hopefully

"No."

"What?"

"The blood protection on Harry will be canceled out if he moves away from his Aunt permanently." explained the headmaster.

"Oh, I-I never knew." stuttered Sirius blushing.

"Sirius, how do you expect to live with someone you know nothing about?"

This statement had almost killed Sirius. Dumbledore, the man who always thought the best of everyone didn't thing he could be a father.

Sirius had left the office promptly after the harsh exchange of words, as he liked to call it. In his musings he had wandered away from the road to a river he had never been to before, not even during the full moon with Moony. Sirius heard a very familiar voice behind him.

"Paddie? Did my puppy get lost?"

Sirius turned around and launched himself at Remus knocking him onto his back.

"Siri! No!"

Sirius grinned and pinned Remus' arms above his head. Remus tried to wriggle out form under Sirius, but the many years of playing Quidditch had made Sirius stronger so he ceased struggling. Sirius could see Remus' light pink lips beneath him and couldn't resist speaking his mind.

"Remmy you're so beautiful." breathed Sirius

"Sirius? Wha…?" Remus was cut off by Sirius' lips on his. When Remus felt Sirius' tongue running along his bottom lip begging for entrance he roughly brought his knee up and jabbed it into Sirius' groin.

"Fuck! Remus what was that for?"

"I told you not to come on to me anymore." Remus spoke unfeelingly even though on the inside he felt guilty

"Well you weren't complaining when I started." retorted Sirius.

"Let's go home Sirius."

"You're avoiding our relationship!"

"Can we please talk at home?"

Without waiting for an answer Remus grabbed Sirius' arm, made a half turn then apparated away to Grimmauld Place with a pop. When their feet hit the ground just outside the houses apparation wards Remus and Sirius began walking along in silence to the dreary house. Sirius was the first to speak.

"Moony, I'm sorry I kissed you."

"Siri you said that the first time you did it. You weren't sorry then, you aren't now."

"You always knew me better than I knew myself."

"Still do." muttered Remus as he fished the keys to the door out of his robes .Finally Remus fit the keys to the door in the lock and swung open the door. Both Sirius and Remus kicked off their shoes in the entrance hall, stalked into the living room and sat gingerly on the dilapidated couch not knowing what could be in it. No one spoke for several minutes. Remus sunk sideways into the pillows trying to get comfy on the lumpy couch .Sirius who could not find a soft spot on the piece of furniture simply leaned back into his fellow Marauder .Remus instinctively started running a hand through Sirius' long black hair. Both knew that the act was completely Remus just showing how fond he was of Sirius, nothing more. Sirius remembered doing the same thing for Remus after especially exhausting full moons. Remus knowing Sirius only wore his hair long when he was depressed decided to see if could sooth his pack brother.

"Padfoot, are you ok?"

"Why don't you want this? Us! You used to love me!"

"Oh Siri I still do love you. I just don't want the memories."

"Moons! You just can't avoid it forever. You have to get over James. You realize that Harrys going to be here very soon and that he reminds everyone he meets of James.

Sirius twisted himself so that his stomach was pressed against Remus'. As Sirius looked into the pools of ember that were Remus' eyes he spoke.

"James would be disappointed in you if you ignored Harry."

Tears began to well up in Remus' eyes at the mention of his lost friend.The tears slowly left a trail across his cheeks Sirius could never stand to watch anyone cry so he reached up and wiped the tears from Remus' soft face.

"I have to go get him. What's the address?" Sirius tried to change the subject.

"Number 4 Privet Drive"

Sirius carefully rolled off of Remus not wanting to cause harm to any of his delicate body parts, practically jumped over to the fire place, shouted the address and jumped into the flames. Remus caught the kiss Sirius had blown to him just before he was sucked into the titian flames. He was falling for Sirius hard again.
