I didn't do it! Write Harry potter that is… though I wish I had… oh well.
This is an alternate universe where Remus and Sirius are together. It is mainly a Harry Charlie though. My first fanfic, so don't kill me. Read and review. I don't quite know where this is going yet, but it does have a plot. Rated T for now… expect that to change quickly though.
*Summary* Harry, Remus and Sirius move to Missouri for a new start on life and a job that will hopefully pay the bills. While touring the new school Harry is supposed to go to he sees a cute guy and makes a new friend. Read to find out more.
School, Boys, and Tough Conversations
Harry woke up in his still strange new room the week after he and his godfathers, Sirius, and Remus moved to their new home in St. Louis, Missouri. They had moved there from the English suburbs because Sirius got a new job as an art teacher at a new school where the old teacher had died of a heart attack. Remus was to work as a counselor as there was none at the school, because the kids were apparently so messed up with their lives. Harry was to start his freshman year at this school and was not too pleased about it. He may not have had any friends at his old school but it was at least familiar to him instead of a completely new group of adolescents. His god fathers were calling for him to get up out of bed. He knew that he wouldn't have to get up until Sirius or Remus came into his room to wake him. "Harry get up, please, I don't want you to be late to your school orientation. Come on we all have to be there, teachers are to be introduced to the students." Sirius said pressured.
"Okay, I'm up!" Harry said, "Is there any cookie-cereal for breakfast?" He inquired.
"There is cereal, but no milk." Sirius replied.
"Really, does no body know how to shop?" He said heatedly.
"Sorry, but we have eggs." Sirius said trying to help his godson with his dilemma.
"Okay, thanks, do we have bacon?" Harry asked hopefully.
"Yes, of course there is, what do you think we would do without bacon?" Sirius said.
"Okay, where's Remus?" Harry asked.
"Remus is downstairs making our eggs and bacon." Sirius told Harry.
"Oh, okay. Sirius, can I ask you something?" Harry asked timidly.
"Sure, what is it?" Sirius asked.
"You never told me what happened to my parents, and I wanted to know what had happened." He said quietly.
"Okay, well, Remus and I will tell you what happened later, when we have a bit more time, how about after dinner over hot chocolate and ice cream." Sirius said trying to put that conversation until at least later.
"Okay, but remember it this time, I don't want a repeat of the last time I asked." Harry said remembering the last time he had asked and gotten no response.
"Sirius, Harry, foods done!" Remus called them from downstairs.
"Let's go and see how Remus cooked our eggs this time." Sirius said excitedly.
"Ooh, I smell good food." Harry said, smiling.
"Hey, Harry, hey, Sirius, here's your food." Remus greeted them.
"Hey Remus, remind Sirius at regular intervals to tell me about my parents tonight with you and hot cocoa and ice cream." Harry said to Remus.
"Okay, may I ask why?" Remus asked curiously.
"Um, well I want to know more about my parents and you both forgot to tell me last time I asked." Harry said pointedly.
"Okay Harry, but we'd better get going now, or we'll be late." Remus said not confirming that he would or would not remind Sirius.
"Hello everybody, welcome and welcome back, our teachers are very important to the school and community, so we are proud to announce our staff. Teaching Home Economics is Ms. Sprout, teaching language arts is Ms. McGonagall, teaching science is Mr. Snape, teaching math is Mr. Flitwick, teaching animal care is Mr. Rubeus Hagrid, and now to introduce our new teachers, Mr. Sirius Black teaching art, Mr. Malfoy teaching social studies, and the last new teacher isn't technically a teacher, but he is welcomed as one, Mr. Remus Lupin-Black is our new counselor. I am Mr. Albus Dumbledore, for those of you who don't know me yet, and I am your principal. Ms. Pompfery is the nurse here; please don't give her too much trouble. Freshmen and newcomers please follow the office worker, who graduated three years ago, and still wishes to stay with us, Mr. Charlie Weasley.
Harry joined the group of freshmen and newcomers standing in the behind Charlie Weasley and waited for him to show them around. It was a pretty small group of students and there weren't many still in the cafeteria waiting to be dismissed to find their lockers, get their schedules, and meet the new teachers.
"Hi every one, I'm Charlie Weasley and I work in the office as kind of a secretary, I work as a type of messenger, and I am the detention teacher. I may look nice now, but don't make me mad. I'm also the coach for the basketball team, and played when I was still a student. Oh well, let's get on with the tour. Okay, we just came from the cafeteria. Across the hall is the gym that usually doubles as the auditorium. Down the hall are the office, infirmary, and counselor's office. This way is the classrooms are and the other doors to the school and the courtyard. We do have vending machines and we also have a student lounge with a coffee maker and a microwave for free periods, lunch, and passing time. The restrooms are over there, near the drinking fountains and Germ-X machine. Please use the Germ-X machine after using the restroom. Not my rule, it's the school's so don't think I'm germ phobic. Now let's go to the office so you can get your schedules, locker assignments, maps, permission slips, and lunch account cards."
He led them to the office and then called off their names in alphabetical order. Harry was waiting to be called until everyone had left and then Charlie asked "Are you Harry Potter?"
He of course answered, "Yes, I'm Harry Potter. May I ask why?"
Charlie smiled and said, "Pleasure to meet you. And I needed to know if you were you because we don't have your stuff yet, come with me so I can get your stuff for you."
"Oh, okay," Harry said following him into the office.
"Do you have any interest in sports, Harry?" Charlie asked.
"I'm not sure; I mean I don't know how to play basketball or anything, so maybe." Harry replied.
"Well, if you try out you may learn how to play; you look like a good guard." Charlie said, trying to be persuasive.
"I'll talk to Remus and Sirius about it and we'll see." Harry said trying to get the conversation elsewhere.
"Remus and Sirius, aren't they the new staff here?" Charlie asked.
"Um, yeah, they're my godfathers I've lived with them since my parents died when I was a baby." Harry said uncomfortably.
"Oh, they seem pretty cool. Are they?" Charlie commented.
"Yeah, they are they let me listen to any music I want, read what I want, date who I want and they're letting me paint my room the way I want too." Harry said trying to make his god fathers seem as nice as they really were.
"Wow, what kind of music do you listen to?" Charlie asked, truly interested.
"I listen to the best band in the world, Green Day." He said excited about the turn of the conversation.
"I love Green Day too; they are a pretty cool band." He said also enjoying the conversation.
"Yeah, what's your favorite song?" Harry said smiling.
"Ooh, that's tough, I'd probably have a list of about um, fifteen, or so." He said also smiling. "What is your favorite song?"
"Ooh, that's tough, same here I guess, I also like a lot of the unreleased, and b-side tracks too." He said deep in thought.
A little while later they were talking about music and laughing about a lot of different things when Remus and Sirius walked into the office to find them chatting. Remus smiled and showed Sirius that Harry had made a new friend. They knew that they were having a good time talking, but the school would be closing soon. "Harry, I can tell you're having fun, but we need to leave soon." Sirius said.
"Oh, I haven't even looked at my locker or schedule yet!" Harry said.
"Well, how about you go to your locker really quick before we go home, Remus or I can bring you back up here sometime in the next two weeks." Sirius said seeing the glint in his godson's eye as he said this.
"Okay, what are we having for dinner?" Harry said heading for his locker. "Bye, Charlie! See you soon."
"We don't know yet, but we know what's for dessert." Remus said to his godson.
Harry, Remus, and Sirius sat in the family room sipping hot cocoa and eating ice cream out of little bowls. Remus and Sirius sat on the love seat and snuggled close together looking like something out of a cheesy romance movie Harry had seen with his ex, who he no longer spoke to.
"Okay, Harry, ask us a question about your parents." Remus said.
"Um, how did they die, and how did I get my scar?" Harry asked them getting right to the big question in his mind.
"Your parents were murdered by a psychotic killer that was committed a few minutes after James called the police that someone had broken into your home. He was evil, he killed your parents, and nearly started on you, when the cops walked in he dropped the knife and it fell on your head, it sliced down to the bone and gave you that scar. You were very lucky kiddo." Sirius said sadly.
"So this guy is in prison?" Harry asked quietly.
"Oh, yes defiantly." Remus said.
"How did my parents meet?" Harry asked.
"They met at one of Sirius's parties, I believe." Remus said smiling.
"If I remember correctly my parents were out of town and that was when we met as well." Sirius said laughing a little bit as he said it.
"Sirius, Remus, can I ask you something kind of personal?"Harry asked quietly.
"Yeah, Harry." They said together.
"When did you find out you were gay?" Harry asked quietly.
"Well I found out when I was in kindergarten, my teacher was filling out report cards and was on mine when I walked up to her desk, by that time I knew how to read and it said that I may be gay… it was true." Remus said chuckling.
"I found out when I was about your age, when a boy tried to get me to notice him by being extremely cute and crashing one of my parties, I was mad at first, but saw how cute he was, and fell in love. I proposed when he turned seventeen and then we married at eighteen, he now likes to snuggle and laugh when I tell this story." Sirius said indicating the still snuggling, and laughing, Remus on the couch next to him.
"Why, Harry?" Remus asked his god son.
"Um, no reason." Harry said trying to drop the conversation.
"Harry, do you think that you may be gay?" Sirius said.
"Harry you know you can tell us anything, especially this kind of stuff, we'll still love you, we are understanding you know." Remus reassured the young boy.
"Guys I know you'll support me, but that doesn't make it any easier to tell you that. I mean I've only known for about two months myself. Do not tell anyone about this please." Harry explained.
"Okay, then. What prompted this part of the conversation anyway? Do you have a crush on someone? Do we know them? Is it someone from the school? Do you like them?" Remus asked in quick succession.
"Slow down there, yes I have a crush on someone, yes you know them, yes they're from the school, and duh!" Harry said quickly.
"Well, tell us who it is, spill the beans!" Sirius said enthusiastically.
"His office is right by Remus'…" Harry led off.
"Please tell me you don't have a crush on Dumbledore." Sirius said.
"Eww! No, I have a crush on Charlie Weasley, not Dumbledore! Get your mind out of the gutter!" Harry said.
Just as he said this the door bell rang loudly.
