A/N hey guys, I know I shouldn't be starting a new fic, but, yeah,I am. Besides, today is my 10 months anniversary, I have officially been a wolfstar writer for 10 months. Though I don't know how long I've been posting stories for...
Sirius's blood ran cold in his veins, the fine hairs on the back of his neck stood up straight as he stared at the magazine in a daze. "JAMES!" He yelled, his voice sounding significantly high-pitched in the vast Potter house, "OH HOLY FUCK! JAMES COME HERE NOW!" Sirius continued to stare in horror at the magazine in front of him, even when he heard the large thumping meaning James was scrambling up the stairs, an even louder thump made him guess the bespectacled teen fell over and the hushed cursing that followed clarified it.
The door to James's bedroom flung open and a ruffled, bright red James stormed in, "What? What could be so bad you had to defile my mothers eyes with your horrible language?"
Sirius made a horrible noise in the back of his throat, he sounded vaguely like a strangled chicken but somehow James managed to decipher it into "Look!" Rolling his eyes knowing that his friend had a flair for the dramatics he glanced at the magazine, then did a double take.
"Is-is that!?"
Sirius nodded, his grey eyes wide with horror, "That, is Looney Lupin."
"He's not, no, he can't be-"
"He is. Oh god."
For you see, the item which both teen boys attention was rather insignificant. A wizard magazine that Sirius purchased on the way to the Potters to provoke his mother, he then began to read it whilst James was getting lectured by his mother, it had been the first one he could find on the rack and it was some sort of teen gossip magazine.
It had been fairly uninteresting, just who stole who's husband and who was pregnant with who's child. Sirius had had fun drawing curly moustaches on the woman and giving the men boobs, it was all really quite comical until he reached a certain article.
Wizard magazines were like wizard pictures, they had small clips of moving images and sounds, rather like a short movies, the reason Sirius's mother detested them so was because they were created by a muggle born. So Sirius usually went out of his way to buy them, just to see what colours of purple his mother's face could reach. So when he'd seen the headline, "Ray Lucas reveals his true identity!" He went insane, having been a dedicated fan of the awesome singer that was Ray Lucas.
Sirius, like most people, loved the mystery about Ray Lucas, he refused point blank to let people see his face, that Ray Lucas wasn't his real name, he used charms to disguise his voice in interviews and was always hidden behind a screen. Same goes for concerts, there was a huge sheet in front of the stage so you can only see the silhouette . So to have this beautiful mystery revealed in front of his very eyes would be a dream come true.
He whispered the incantation quickly, waving his wand with a quick darting moment, his grey eyes wide so as not to miss a thing.
It started normally, the interviewer was sitting beside an empty chair. She looked directly at the camera and squealed, "This is the moment you've all been waiting for! We finally get to meet the real Ray Lucas." She grinned slyly as a handsome young man slid into the chair beside him, "Or should I say, Remus Lupin."
Then Sirius started screaming for James.

James hurriedly flung the magazine to the far corner of his bedroom, "No! Their lying! There's no way in hell someone as weird as Loony Lupin is the Ray Lucas."
Sirius nodded his head frantically, ebony curls bouncing, "Yeah. Ray Lucas is such a badass, he wears dog-collars for fucks sake! Lupin, he reads books! Yeah! This is a joke! An absolute joke!"
"That doesn't even look like Loony Lupin! I mean, where's the braces? The lanky hair?" James said, searching his head frantically for an excuse, even though the puzzles were starting to fit themselves together...
"I think." Sirius said slowly, drawing out the words cautiously so James wouldn't clobber him, "That we need to finish the interview."

Remus sat down nervously in front of the beaming woman in tweed. He ran his hands through his recently cut hair and smiled casually, leaning back in the chair.
"So, is your name actually Remus Lupin?" She began, shuffling to the edge of her seat and clutching a sparkling notebook in her hands. Her crimson smile was so wide in looked a mile long and her green eyes had a maniacal gleam in them that he knew from experience that only fangirls could obtain.
It terrified him more than the full moon.
"It is, Remus John Lupin." He clarified, flashing her a grin and watching as she blushed like a giggling schoolgirl, they always did that, he still didn't know why? Maybe he had something in his braces? Wait, he couldn't, he got his braces removed at the start of the summer, right.
"Remus is such," she laid her perfectly manicured hand on his arm and sighed, "It's such a heroic name."
Remus took a glance at her hand on his arm and shuddered slightly, they were like talons, "Um, yeah, my mother loved roman mythology, I suppose it is heroic. Remus died fighting against his brother for a better world." He then added with a laugh that echoed round the room, "Nothing like me though."
The woman threw her head back and roared with laughter, batting her eyelashes as she did so, Remus cautiously shuffled his chair back a bit.
"Oh Remus!" She twittered "Your so funny!", finally taking her hand off her only to tuck a bit of hair behind her eye and settle it on his knee. Remus regarded it warily, those manicured talons were dangerously close to his crotch...
"Is that right?" He asked, raising one eyebrow at her and leaning back in the chair. The movement making his tight t-shirt tighten further clinging to him in all the right places.
"Um miss? Are you okay? Your drooling?" Remus asked a tint of concern in his deep voice, he dug about in his pocket and came out with a slightly rumpled tissue and handed it to her.
"Oh! Your so thoughtful! I love a man thats prepared. And please! Call me Cathy!" The woman smiled, dabbing at her mouth with the white paper, staining it with crimson and handed it back to the nervous singer in front of her, who visibly recoiled at the waxy substance on the material, but accepted it, pulling his wand out and vanishing it. He didn't want it all over his pocket. Yuck.
"That looked so easy! I'm never any good at vanishing charms! Were you good at school then?" Cathy smiled and moved her hand further up his leg.
"I'm okay. I mean, my grades are all passes so..." Remus said, unconsciously shuffling backwards in his chair until his back hit the soft surface.
"What school did you go to then?" Cathy asked, propping her chin up on one hand interestedly.
"Im actually still at school, I go to Hogwarts." Remus said casually, as soon as he said 'still in school' the woman's demeanour completely changed, she removed her hand from his thigh, (Remus visibly let out a sigh) and sat up straight, pulling a quill from her bag at feet she asked;
"Let me guess, hufflepuff?" Her voice lost the flirting tone but it still was humorous.
"Er..no, Grffyndor." Remus laughed, folding his arms over his chest,' okay, so this might be so bad now that she's stop trying to molest me...'
"I bet you have a load of friends." She nodded but Remus frowned.
"No." He shook his head sadly, he looked up and gave her a sad ,small smile that made her heart break, "I've actually just the one, she's also my manager."
"Why don't you have friends? Surely a charismatic man like you would have people falling at your feet?"
Remus shrugged, reaching one hand up to his neck and rubbing it awkwardly, "They call me, um, Looney Lupin." He looked at her through his eyelashes when he saw her gasp, "What?" He asked innocently.
"That's so cruel! How does that not hurt you?" She said sympathetically, she felt like going and punching every god damn grffyndor she could find! Past. Present. Or future. She knew this would mean punching herself but hell if she cared.
"Well, it's not particularly the best, but I'm not completely alone. I've got a few friends."
"Like who?"
"Dickens, Shakespeare. Collins-"
"Their all authors, Remus." Cathy said gently. The hand was back on his knee, but somehow it was sympathetic.
"Yeah, but their books keep me company!" He argued, but then sagged under her glare and covered his face with his hands, "I know I'm pathetic. Can you see Looney Lupin coming out to play?"
"You mentioned earlier you had a friend?"
Remus took his hands from his face and grinned boyishly despite the wetness in his eyes, "Yeah, Lily Evans, she's my best mate."
"Is there anything romantic between you and Miss Evans?" Cathy grinned slyly, her green eyes glittering with mischief, she was beautiful in a scary ,older woman sorta way.
"Oh heavens no!" Remus protested laughing, "Lily's just a friend. She's not my type!"
Cathy sat back and folded her slim arms, her expression was nothing short of cheeky, "Oh, so your the sort of guy with a type? What is it then?"
"What's what?"
Cathy laughed, "Your type you dolt!"
Remus suddenly coloured, his hand was straight for his neck again, was he ready for this? Hell no, was he going to do it?
Let's see shall we.
"M-male." He stuttered, his back going stiff and his eyes going downcast, okay. So this could affect his music. Or not. Or it could. Maybe?
Cathy didn't say anything for a while, but her eyes were the size of plates and she was drooling on his jeans.
"That's so hot." She finally breathed.
"Sorry?"
"I mean um, back to the original topic at hand." Cathy stuttered, sitting upright and trying to look professional.
"You mean my inability to make friends or the fact I'm gay?" Remus said, quirking an eyebrow.
"Um, new topic! Why did you decide to reveal your identity now?" Cathy said brightly, lacing her fingers together and staring at him with her utmost attention.
"Well," Remus turned serious for a moment, "There is quite literally a war raging on our doorsteps, and if I die in it, I want to die as Remus Lupin, rather that Ray Lucas."
Cathy nodded solemnly, "That's a great reason Remus. Now I believe you promised us a photoshoot?"
"Huh? What? I wasn't told about that!" The screen went blank but voice continued.
"Oh shut up Remus!" A voice that James definitely recognised as Lily Evans laughed, "I didn't tell you because you'd refuse to do it!"
"Is that the same reason why you sprung the interview on me this morning?" Came Remus's ever so amused voice.
"Remus!" Cathy exclaimed, "Less talking, more stripping!"

Sirius turned to James, his mouth agape, "L-looney Lupin's gay?"
James swallowed audibly, "It's seems your not the only gay in Hogwarts." He kind of felt like shit right now. He didn't know when he taunted the poor boy it hurt him so much.
"I'm a horrible person!" Sirius wailed, "I was mean to a fellow gay! That's like-that's like treason right James?!"
James's mouth felt a bit dry, "I think that's a bit homophobic Sirius. Turn the page, I want to see his photoshoot."
Obediently Sirius did so, a bit miffed a being called homophobic. He wasn't bloody homophobic, how hypocritical would that be! Literally, kettle calling the pot bl-HOLY FUCK! LOONEY LUPINS FUCKING GORGEOUS!
Sirius's mouth fell open again in an unattractive gape. There was a 3 page spread of just pictures of Remus, of every kind. He's looking sweet and awkward in one. Hot and mysterious in another. Even Lily was in one, tickling the boy with a manic smile on her pretty face while picture Remus writhed and squealed silently.
And, oh fuck, there was one, (obviously a surprise one) were it's just the back of Remus's head until someone throws a bucket full of water at him and he turns, his eyes wide and his golden hair dripping water that trailed all down his shirtless body...
"James." Sirius said, his voice oddly tight causing the bespectacled boy to look at him puzzled, "Do you mind if I keep this magazine for myself? I mean, y'know, For research purposes?"
James grinned languidly, "Sirius, you bought the fucking magazine!"
"JAMES POTTER! WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE YOUNG MAN OR NO PUDDING!"
