This is the first part of my 'two-shot'. Wolfstar, a bit angst, comfort maybe and fluff ^^ Romance too…
"Argh! Fuck this! Just-"Sirius stormed up to the dorm and slammed the door shut behind him. He had thrown the letter into the fire before he left.
"What was that about?" asked Peter a bit frightened. James shrugged and looked at the closed door.
"Must have been something about his family" said Remus quietly, wise as always. He studied the letter as it burned in the flames.
"Maybe you should talk to him…" said James in a low voice. Remus nodded and closed his book. He was the closest one to Sirius and also the only one who dared to approach Sirius when he was pissed.
He knocked on the door to their dorm and listened for any sounds from inside. "Sirius?"
"Go away!"
"Sirius, it's just me" Sirius went quiet and Remus took that as a positive sign. "I'm coming in" he said and opened the door slowly. The sight of Sirius was shocking and highly unusual. He was lying, face down, on the bed…crying. Sirius never cried and Remus thought that he must be the first one to see him do so. He had dealt with Sirius' anger lots of times but this was new and he didn't really know how to act. So he walked slowly to the bed and sat down on the edge.
"Sirius…what happened?" asked Remus gently and stroked Sirius' back. Sirius just sniffed into the pillow. "You can tell me everything you know"
"They- My mum…she's-" Sirius swallowed and sobbed. Remus kept stroking small circles on Sirius' back. "She's forcing me to marriage…" he whispered.
Remus stopped his movements in shock "She's what?" he choked. He knew Sirius parents with their old fashioned pure-blood mania, like the Malfoy's, but he never thought they would go this far to keep the family name pure.
Sirius turned his head from the pillow, away from Remus, probably embarrassed for crying. "They arranging an engagement party…now when I'm seventeen it's legal to get married…and they want it to be done as soon as possible…" said Sirius and sniffed.
"That's horrible!" exclaimed Remus.
"Mm…I have to pick a girl on the party…" said Sirius sadly.
"But you're…gay" said Remus, stunned, as he remembered it. Sirius had told him some months ago, only him, James and Peter didn't know yet. Sirius nodded. "When is it?" asked Remus quietly.
"In two days" whispered Sirius. That's on Saturday, thought Remus in shock.
"But…this weekend…Siri- I don't know what to say" Remus trailed off. "Are you sure you can't escape it?"
"Yes, they made that very clear in the letter. They're picking me up tomorrow…I think they want it to happened soon because they know I'm gay, Reg told them, and they can't accept that…it was bad enough when I was sorted into Gryffindor, they don't want me to betray the family even more" said Sirius and dried his tears with the covers on the bed.
"Oh Siri…I'm so sorry…"said Remus and stroked Sirius long, black hair.
"Remus…"Sirius never used his real name. "I don't want to…"he whimpered and broke into tears again. Remus pulled Sirius up and wrapped his arms around him quickly.
"It's going to be okay…shh…don't worry…"Truth was that Remus didn't know how to get Sirius out of this. He usually knew what to do but this time he didn't have a clue.
Remus got interrupted in his thought as an owl flew in through the opened window. He let go of Sirius and took the letter addressed to him and recognised the hand writing as his mothers. Sirius read it over Remus' shoulder when he had opened it.
"I thought so" said Sirius quietly and looked away. Remus sighed, his mother had informed him about the invitation they got from Mrs and Mr Black and that they were going to pick him up from school tomorrow as well. Apparently every pure-blood family was invited and that included the Lupin family.
"Are you going to come?" asked Sirius a bit hopeful and looked down at his hands.
"Of course I am. I want to be there for you" He hugged Sirius again. "But we're going to solve this…you won't get married!" Sirius nodded into Remus' shoulder a bit disbelieving.
-x-
The next day passed quicker than they wanted to and after the lessons they would use the floo powder system to get to London. Remus had told Peter and James about it and they had got just as shocked as Remus had. Sirius had stayed in the dorm for the rest of the night, not speaking to anyone except Remus, and today he hadn't said a thing.
"Well, I see you tomorrow…" said Remus turned to Sirius. Sirius nodded and looked down to the floor. Remus walked over to him and hugged him tightly. "It's going to be okay" he whispered into Sirius ear.
"Mm…please be there early" said Sirius quietly as Remus let go of him.
"Sure" he stepped into the fire and caught Sirius' eyes one last time before disappearing.
Hope you liked it and even if no one did I'm going to post the next chapter anyway!
