Chapter 1-Love
Remus Lupin knew he had a mate. It was part of being a werewolf. And he knew who it was. He'd known since his sixteenth birthday. Sirius Black. Trouble was, Remus didn't want to hurt Sirius. But he knew he would, one way or another.
Sighing, he resigned himself to the fact that he had to do something about it. Soon. Deciding to go to the meeting he had prearranged with Sirius a while back…in ten minutes! He bolted and then remembered he could apparate. He'd only been doing it for three years, after all.
**********
Landing just outside of Hogsmeade, Remus headed up towards The Three Broomsticks and saw Sirius waiting outside for the young werewolf, unusually early for a change. He looked nervous. That was strange. Sirius wasn't usually nervous about anything. Well, apart from in seventh year, when James started bugging him beause he'd stopped asking so many girls out. That wasn't normal for Sirius.
*********
Sirius Black was cold. Cold and wet. What did he expect. It was snowing, after all. Again. He was nervous. And scared of what he was about to do. He'd been shocked in his seventh year at Hogwarts, when he discovered feelings for a certain werewolf that just happened to be a Marauder. Recently, he had decided to act on this, else he'd go mad. Dammit, where was Remus!
*********
The two men drew closer to one another, trying to act normal. What happened next was definitely NOT normal.
*********
Sirius dragged Remus into an empty alleyway and crushed his lips to the young werewolf's, who responded, and then cursed himself inwardly. That wasn't supposed to happen. Then again, it saved him the trouble of having to tell Sirius about the whole mate thing. But Remus hadn't wanted to tell Sirius about the mate thing. It would have meant losing Sirius as a friend, and Remus didn't want that. But itlooked like Sirius felt the same. What followed involved relocating to somewhere more comfortable, and just a pinch of "wrestling". Well, a lot of "wrestling" really.
*********
When Sirius awoke the next morning, he found that his "companion" from the night before was gone, leaving no trace behind. Absolute nothing. It was a heartbroken Sirius Black that went home that day. Little did he know that, a), he would be getting the shock of his life in about a month's time, and b), he was being followed. By a Death Eater. Or more specifically, his cousin-in-law, Lucius Malfoy.
