Dear All: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters or brilliant story lines, candy or strange creatures in the least bit. Hum Bug!
Anyways, this story will be slash, so I'm warning you now! Do not pretend you knew nothing of this.
Also, if you have opinions of my story it would be greatly appreciated if you commented. I'll take your critique seriously- it's valid and, well curious to see what you think of my slight twists.
P.S. I will constantly re-edit the chapters in annoyance of myself and my awful grammatical and numerous vocabulary mistakes.
P.P.S. If you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know.
Thanks
Chapter 1
Remus Lupin, a young boy from the English countryside awaited the white bus that resembled fresh snow. It would surely arrive late as it did every morning. Today, he'd meet his close friend Sirius Black after church.
Remus Lupin was a clever boy, though quite shy to strangers and physically quite weak compared to most boys his age. His best friend in the entire world would never comment of course, especially since he fancied him immensely.
Remus Lupin was average in height for a boy his age with light brown hair, similar to cinnamon sticks. His eyes, chestnut, his lips- pale pink; skin somewhere between white and tan.
Sirius on the other hand was rather tall, and when he stood face to face with Remus- well, Remus just barely met his shoulders. Sirius had messy black, shaggy hair, which he refused to comb, as he knew Remus loved the way it hung so willingly on his oval shaped face. Black bangs dropped to his large Mediterranean colored eyes. Sirius was thin, not as thin as Remus, though both boys were quite beanpolesque.
Sirius Black came from a rather wealthy family with hidden love rooted amongst many problems. Just outside London, Sirius lived in a house very like a mansion, though supplied much more yard and gardens then actual house. Sirius lived with his mother, an overbearing woman who constantly reminded Sirius and anyone he became close with- what a disrespectful disgrace he was to his family. If any word could clearly describe the Blacks it was pride. And then tradition.
As Sirius drummed to his own beat, he stood out greatly from the men one generation before himself even. Sirius dressed in mostly black, a leather jacket, jeans, and dark under shirts.
Another "bad habit" as his mother stated every morning over breakfast was his drinking and smoking tendices. Mrs. Black had frequently found empty liquor bottles throughout Sirius room, which he had obviously stolen from his father when he had spent a night or two in prison for various outbursts of public intoxication, and DUI's. Mrs. Black stopped nagging Sirius to stop smoking as she had as a youth, and steered clear of Sirius' sexual orientation, as she wasn't certain to whether her son hadn't become comfortable with the opposite sex, was surrendering to celibacy, or which she feared most, and pretended as if the word was foreign- a homosexual. Mostly, Mrs. Black feared Sirius would end up a drunk as her husband had.
Remus came from a very poverished town just outside of London. He lived with his mother and father who both loved him dearly though babied him a bit much, in Remus' opinion. Remus dreamed of moving straight away and never looking back. Anywhere but Forests Grove. He realized and was very grateful for one opportunity in Forests Grove, which was Sirius.
Remus met Sirius on a train ride to Paris when Remus was meeting his great uncle for possible schooling opportunities, and Sirius to explore the nightlife of Paris. The two boys were 16 and became inseparable after the first meeting when they stayed up into the late hours of night and early hours of morning reveling themselves to each other. They promised to remain friends, and were quite surprised when they realized they lived only 3 miles away from each other back home.
Remus' mother in particular attempted to set him up with every girl his age that bat an eye at him (which wasn't many as he looked quite wimpy compared to other boys in his class like James Potter, and Gilderoy Lockhart). Remus would obey his mother's wishes though refused the end of the night expected kisses in the most polite manner with various excuses like: "I'd love to kiss you goodnight, but I have bad breath," or "I'm just a little scared, maybe after a fifth or sixth date." No girls were willing to wait that long, especially since boys like James Potter and Gilderoy Lockhart promised much more and were friendly with all the girls, even the mannish looking ones.
Sirius was Remus' only friend and he relied on Sirius as something more of a companion rather than school chum.
One brilliant sunny morning after church Sirius had the idea of surprising Remus as he knew Sunday was the one day that guaranteed him much attention from a very eager, boy who wanted nothing more than to spend all his free time with "Sirius, the boy who disgraced the name of Black."
Remus exited the church after changing out of his robes from being an alter server and sighed in relief as he had six whole days till he had to be tortured again with duties he cared little for. As he stepped out and felt the warm sun shining on his soft face he had the urge to scream for the freedom bestowed upon him as he left the ancient cathedral. However, he spotted Sirius turning from an alley corner, and approaching him with a wine bottle in one hand, and a fag in another.
Remeus felt his cheeks warming upon seeing his reason to continue to breathe. If anything were going to take his breath away- it would be Sirius.
Remus ran to Sirius and kissed Sirius so passionately, Sirius had to catch his balance with the pleasant outburst of his secret love affair. Remus ran his fingers through Sirius black shaggy hair, and Sirius hid nothing, as he loved the forceful attention. Sirius moaned, and Remus began too as well as Sirius began to grope his arse.
"Happy to see me?" Sirius replied pulling away from his close friend, and smiled as if he had won the best prize of all.
"This is my favorite day of the week, I couldn't be happier, that is unless you stayed the night!" Remus blushed furiously in surprise of what he had just admitted.
"Is that so?" Sirius said, smirking menacingly. Remus' blush failed to leave his cheeks and continued to spread as he glanced from his shoes to Sirius bright eyes.
"Um, well.... You know...it might be fun to...."
"To? Shag Rem?" Remus nodded in agreement and fear.
"Anything for you Rem."
Sirius and Remus had never made love in the two years they came to know each other. Sirius had much more experience in matters of sexual experiences as Remus had none. Sirius made frequent trips before he had met Remus to meet strangers for well, casual sex. Remus was becoming very curious and eager each day he met with Sirius, though terribly shy in those aspects of their relationship.
"Here, love. I snagged it from my pa, when he was in jail the other night."
Remus took one sip and smiled with the sweet taste. "What is it? Fruit or flower wine?"
"Both. It's Spanish. Naranja means orange, I believe.... and Rosa is Rose. I think it's a mixture of both."
"It's delicious." Remus replied taking another giant chug and handing Sirius the bottle.
Sirius took a sip and glanced up to the door where Remus had exited in sudden worry. Remus saw Sirius turquoise eyes in a concerned glare and saw what Sirius saw.
"Bloody hell! It's Filch! Run, now!" Remus shouted pulling Sirius along. Both boys ran furiously away from the ancient Abby and reached a side alley 2- 3 blocks away.
"Who is Filch?" Sirius asked, curious and concerned.
"Bleeding hell! Oh hell!" Yelled Remus.
"Rem?" Sirius said, grabbing a hold of Remus' shoulders.
"The newest vicar. Cor ..... blimey! Gods why?" Remus bellowed.
"What's the problem Rem?"
"He'll tell my mum, he'll tell father ..... I don't know what'll happen to me, to my family. He hates me, he does!"
"Remus, why not forget about it until you have to think about it. Until then, Let's get you sloshed."
Remus was not pleased, but unsure what else he could do. Remus of course knew he was done for and didn't really fear his mother. The only one he truly feared was O'Brien. It was not uncommon for priests to slap wrists with rulers and other various ways of beating, but Remus was feeble and fragile. That was his true weakness.
"No, no Sirius, let's just walk. Let's get out of here." Sirius nodded and the two walked away slowly, arms clutching loosely. They walked for hours discussing trivial things like the weather, ignoring what had happened earlier in the day.
Remus and Sirius walked till about 10:00 pm and collapsed on a beach side. Sirius smiled lightly as Remus fell into his arms on the sand bank. The moon was glowing above and the wind of the sea took the night off. Waves crashed lovely on the sand, and Sirius held onto Remus.
"Sirius, you know I've never met anyone as wonderful as you."
"Rem..."
"Yes?"
"Likewise."
Remus took a deep inhale and pushed back further into Sirius arms until they lie in the moonlit sand intertwined with each other's limbs.
"I'm in a lot of trouble you know."
"Nonsense, you're of age." Sirius said encouraging Remus to relax.
"I mean with the bloody vicar!"
"Ah, well, I'll have to make you forget about him then, won't I?"
"How Sirius?"
"Well, it's night isn't it? And I'll spend it with you."
"Sirius...."
"Yes?"
"Well, about what I said earlier...."
"Listen, Rem...." Sirius said. Remus climbed out of Sirius grasp and sat facing him, then blushed and quickly turned away.
"I really want to.... Well, what I mean is.... I really want to be with you, but I'm just a .... Slightly... afraid." Sirius laughed lightly and embraced Remus lovingly.
"Rem, I won't hurt you. I won't pressure you into anything you're uncomfortable with. I lo..." Remus looked at Sirius in shock and admiration.
"I love you Remus." Sirius said.
"I love you too Sirius."
The two young boys fell asleep grasping onto each other and woke the following morning by the sun that was just beginning to rise. Sirius opened his eyes and found Remus smiling at him. Remus kissed him lightly, and then began to stare at the small waves breaking onto the shore. The air was slightly chill, but the sky was glorious as wild colors sprang across in patches of egg yoke, citrus, rimmed with red and slightly plum in minor patches.
Sirius sat up and stretched like a cat or a fierce dog. Remus remained in a trance of the calming water before them both.
"Come on, Rem, let's get breakfast." Remus grinned and followed without thought.
The two arrived at a small restaurant with great hunger and tired eyes.
"After you," Sirius said holding the door open for Remus.
"Thanks Sir."
"Sir, now that's brill Rem, I like it."
The two entered and choose a table next to the window with a fabulous view of the beach they had just come from.
"You know, my mother is probably worried sick." Replied Remus as he stirred his tea furiously fast.
"Yeah, mine too, but it was worth it." Remus smiled in response, though not entirely believing Sirius. Sirius did as he pleased and Remus was beginning to wonder if Sirius' parents had any discipline at all remaining for their son.
"We will have to do that again sometime." Sirius voiced.
Sirius ordered bacon, eggs, toast, and one large glass of milk. Remus ordered bacon, eggs and a side order of fruit with a large glass of orange juice. They both achieved cleaning their plates and finished in records time.
"Delicious," they both said in unison as a waitress with blue hair cleared their plates.
"And we don't just mean you." Sirius replied with a friendly smirk. The waitress however paid little attention.
"He's kidding," Remus declared as Sirius continued with comments alike.
As they left the busy eatery, Sirius bowed to the waitress as he held the door open for Remus.
"You are insane Sirius."
"Just being polite love."
"Well then, why not bow to me?"
"I'll do more than that!" Replied Sirius grabbing Remus and dipping him gracefully. Then, Sirius lifted him back up and placed his arms around him and hugged him deeply.
As they stepped onto the street shock overpowered Remus' happy face upon seeing an unforgettable face. A face he feared dearly. Father O'Brien spotted Remus and his hands clasping with Sirius.
"Good morning Remus Lupin. What am I to do with you?" Remus turned away from the towering man and shrugged his shoulders lightly.
"What was that Mr. Lupin?"
"I.... I'm sorry...what?"
"Filch told me something quite extraordinary yesterday. I couldn't believe it and yet here you are proving him right. He says he saw you intertwined with a gentleman. This young lad, I presume. Now, Mr. Lupin I demand to know what is occurring between you two."
Father O'Brien -was a rather lanky man with a proper sort of face that wanted power but timid in taking hold of it. An honest, neat, downright modest man who was of tradition and little room for alternative life styles in all sense. He was not materialistic in any sense, but would never fancy sleeping on a beach side with another man unless he was saving them from something that needed rescuing. However, he wasn't to know of Mr. Lupin's little ecstatic delight of the night before.
"May I say something?" Sirius replied in watching his companion become intimidated by the taller man. Sirius knew the type of man O'Brien was. He knew he could intimate boys like Remus, but didn't have the heart to accomplish anything much as he was very alike Remus when he had been his age. Instead, Sirius thought to change the older man's mind if at all possible.
O'Brien turned to Sirius in surprise and curiosity, though refused to hide his more playful side and frowned instead.
"I suppose."
"The truth is, Remus had been terribly upset because he really dreams of being a vicar like yourself someday."
"Come again?" O'Brien spat.
"What?" Remus said a little louder than he had intended.
"Yes, that's right. Remus has been trying to figure out exactly how to tell his parents, especially his mother. You see she dreams of him getting married someday and of having children and all that. Of course telling her has been tearing him apart. I wanted to surprise him and cheer him up, when he ran out with tears in his eyes, I did the first thing that came to mind. I still don't understand why I choose to kiss him, but my girlfriends do that for me if I'm ever in that state. So I kissed him."
"Filch said you two dashed off? Why the hurry?"
"I didn't want to but Remus was so fearful that Filch might tell you."
"I see. Is that true Mr. Lupin?" Remus nodded averting his eyes.
"Well, if any sort of behavior alike is brought to my attention again I shall question you're close, lecherous relationship."
The boys nodded in understanding. Remus felt giddy with relief. Sirius was surprised how gullible the priest had been.
"Oh, and Remus?" O'Brien called, just as their hands were about to clasp together.
"Yes?" Remus replied.
"I will not bring this up with your parents, this time, but would greatly do with your presence after school everyday this week."
Remus nodded, trying to hide his anger and they parted, leaving the boys to themselves again.
"My dream is to be a vicar!" Remus shouted in between mad giggles. "Well it was either that or I was teaching you how to kiss." Sirius replied with a playful grin.
The two boys laughed all the way back home and parted on Oak Ave. "If everything turns out all right, would you like to come to dinner tomorrow night?" Asked Remus.
"Of course, Rem. I'll do anything to see you. Even sneak out and surprise you for a late night shag, if you like."
Remus blushed and began to run his hands all over Sirius body.
"Not here, Rem." Remus frowned in annoyance.
"I hope I don't have to stay too long after school each day."
"Like I said, Rem, I'll come to you. Don't worry your pretty little head."
"All right, see you later then." Remus said with a pout, and leaned in for one last kiss.
"I'll see you tonight Rem."
Both boys finally pulled away slightly out of breath and both smiled as they walked further apart.
"Tonight?" Remus said to himself.
All the way home Remus thought about the night before and the day so far. It wasn't even over, and he would see Sirius again. He hoped he'd finally experience everything he obsessively thought about. He licked his lips wanting to taste Sirius lovely flavor in his mouth and completely forgot about what he was going home to.
