Heyhey, this is Lupin_Sacrifice.

This is my first Sirius/Remus fic.

I wrote a Draco/Ron fic on my other account, under Scorpio Sting, if anyone cares to read it. ^^

Anyway ... on with this fic. Possible fluff warning.

This starts off from Remus Lupin's point of view.

***

When I first truly realised what I'd become, it didn't seem real to me. But as my life went on, it became more and more a reality. I had no friends. Only my family cared for me. I guess nobody really wants to be close to you when you're a monster, a werewolf. I spent half of my nights those times crying.

But at Hogwarts, there were people who wanted to be close to me. My three closest friends ... well, at least two of them were close friends.

James Potter and ... Sirius Black. Also known as Prongs and Padfoot, because of their Animagi forms. The forms that they created for me. They were always my greatest friends. And now, in my sixth year, Sirius is especially close to me. He and I always seemed to connect more than James and I, though I was never sure why.

'Padfoot! Padfoot, wait up! SIRIUS!!' Remus Lupin bellowed down the corridor. Sirius Black stop abruptly and whirled around.

'Remus!' He grinned. 'Sorry, I didn't hear you ... ' Remus shook his head and fell into step beside his friend as they headed towards their Transfiguration class.

'What d'you reckon McGonagall's gonna make us do today?' Sirius wondered aloud.

'Something practically impossible, no doubt,' Remus sighed. 'With our exams coming up, all the teachers are loading us down with work. They keep going on about our NEWT's, even though we don't even have those 'till next year.' He heaved another sigh. Sirius gave him a joking look of deep pity.

After Transfiguration, they had their lunch break. Sirius and Remus met up with James and they went into the Great Hall.

Remus grinned as he watched Sirius and James eat shamelessly. Sirius seemed to have inherited the eating habits of his Animagus form, a bear- like dog. James ... well, James always ate like that. Sirius was talking animatedly with his other friends, grinning his charming grin, his dark hair falling in front of his darker eyes. Remus sighed softly and seemed to drift away a little bit.

'Remus, you seem awfully quiet. Is anything wrong?'

Remus blinked and focused. Sirius was looking at him with some concern. He was frowning slightly, his eyebrows forming a small crease on his forehead. Remus flushed slightly and lowered his golden eyes. He shook his head, and tucked a strand of his light brown hair behind his ear. Sirius bit his lip, still a bit worried, but decided to let it go.

*^*^*^*^*^*

You're missing something in the air

I got a name but it don't matter

What's going on, it's cold in here

You have a life but it's torn and tattered

^*^*^*^*^*^*

Sirius sighed and looked up at the sky. 'It's such a nice day ... and the full moon's ages away,' He commented. He and Remus were lying on their backs outside on the sunny Hogwarts grounds. Their lessons were over for the day. 'It's like nothing could go wrong.'

Remus looked at him. It was unlike Sirius to speak like that. Whenever he talked it was usually to say some joke or insult the Slytherins in some way. Remus didn't reply; he just nodded silently. Sirius grinned suddenly.

'So, James went to go and try to get Lily Evans to go out with him? I don't know why he keeps trying, she can obviously see how ridiculously concieted he is.'

Remus smiled as well. 'Maybe this time he'll be successful, you never know.' Sirius made an indistinct noise somewhere between amusement and disbelief; then he fell silent again.

'Hey, check out what I've been working on,' Remus said suddenly, sitting up and pulling a notebook out of the pocket of his robes. He opened it and half a dozen moving photographs fell out of it. Sirius rolled onto his stomach to look at them. He grinned, then chuckled. The photographs were of James, Sirius and Remus at different times throughout their duration at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

'Look at this one!' Sirius said enthusiastically, pointing at one of the photographs. Remus and James were leaning on Sirius, and all three were grinning like idiots and making funny faces. Written in Remus' neat printing on the photograph was 'Say Riddikulus!'.

Remus leant over the pictures to show some more to Sirius. Sirius's dark hair brushed Remus's face, and Remus pretended not to notice. They were both smiling at the pictures, all three of the photographic friends smiling up at them from each one.

'See, I'm making a sort of scrapbook of us to keep, so I'll always remember,' Remus explained, smiling faintly. Sirius looked up, smiling as well.

'I would never forget, anyway.'

No, that is not the end, this is a test chapter! Just to see if you readers might want me to continue. If I do, it will of course be MUCH more interesting, I promise.

So review!! Should I continue or not? ^_^
