A/n: Hey! Please R/R! I've only posted a poem on this site (which I would appreciate if you all r/r) and I've always loved Remus and Sirius, but it's only until I came on this site that I ever considered them as a slash couple. So I decided to write one. Enjoy! Oh, and this is going to be a continuing series…. Marauders' Era… the death of Lily and James…. Modern Era…

Warning: This story will most definitely contain slash! If you're a homophobe and/or just don't like that sort of stuff…. turn back now!

Disclaimers: I do not own characters in this fanfic… all belong to J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. Except for one… you'll know when I introduce her… name's Stacey…

Spoilers: NONE! This is in the Marauders Era… actually… I guess you could say that this spoils Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet or Fire a little because if you haven't read those, you won't know who Sirius and Remus are… But, oh well….

Chapter 1

It was another day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Day had dawned about an hour ago, and Remus Lupin woke up earlier than his friends. He looked next to him and saw the silhouette of a sleeping James Potter. He looked caddy-corner from James and saw (and heard) Peter Pettigrew sleeping soundly. Then his eyes switched their gaze to the bed caddy-corner from him and James: Sirius Black.

Remus watched as Sirius' bare chest rose and fell as he slept; his black hair sprawled out over the pillow. He just lied there, watching him sleep. God, he's gorgeous, Remus thought, as a tear ran down his cheek. It should be illegal for someone to be that good-looking. Remus cared for Sirius so much. It hurt to think of him sometimes. All he had to do was think about him, see him, or hear his name and Remus' heart ached.

 He shook his head, trying to get the thoughts out of his head. He got up, got dressed, and went down into the common room.

The light from the new day lit up the common room. Remus took a seat in an armchair and sat down, reflecting on his thoughts.

A half an hour went by. He was so preoccupied in his thoughts that he didn't hear someone coming towards him. "Remus? What are you doing here? What are you doing up so early?" he asked. Remus' heart stopped as soon as he had spoken. He didn't have to turn to see whom the voice belonged to. He already knew. No one had a voice like his. His voice was deep, masculine, and sexy. It fits Sirius perfectly, Remus thought.

"Sirius." He said. "I just woke up early, so I thought I'd get up, come down here, and wait for you lot to get up."

"Oh." Sirius said. He ran a hand threw his long, silky black hair. His blue eyes flickered to the ground. He had no idea what to say to Remus. He had been waiting for this chance to be alone with Remus so he could talk to him for so long. Now, when he finally had the chance, he froze. Just standing that close to Remus made Sirius' heart ache with want and desire. He wanted to hold and kiss him, but he knew Remus would not approve. But how he wanted to…. He's just so beautiful, Sirius thought. Especially with daylight shining on him. He looks so angelic. And indeed he did.

Sirius and Remus just stood and sat there in silence. Both, unable to say what they wanted to say and hear. A little while later James and Peter came down. "Hey." James said to his two friends.

"'Lo, James." Remus said.

"Good morning." Peter greeted.

"What's so good about it?" Sirius asked harshly, half joking. "We have three tests today, did you forget? Potions, Transfiguration and Herbology."

Peter looked like he was about to faint. "I forgot." A shadow fell on his face. "I'm going to fail." He said sadly, hanging his head.

Sirius put a comforting arm around Peter's shoulder. "Of course you won't. If you would be confident, you'd probably do better."

"Well, I'm not like you, Sirius." Said Peter. "I'm not confident. About anything."

It was a true statement; Peter wasn't. But James and Remus could feel Sirius' ego inflating as Peter said that. James just shook his head as Remus put his hands over his eyes, both smiling.

"How true, how true." Sirius said, lifting his head up proudly, a grin flashing across his face.

"And asking for help with your homework wouldn't be too bad either." James muttered under his breath.

Sirius and Remus tried to hold in laughs, but Peter just looked at them and said, "Ha ha. Very funny, you guys. Go ahead and make fun of me." He crossed his arms over his chest. And with that, the three of them burst out laughing. Peter just shook his head sadly.

 By that time, people started filling out of the dorms and making their way into the common room and down into the Great Hall for breakfast. Lily walked up to them, slipped her arm through James' and said, "Shall we, boys? I'm hungry."

"Ok." Sirius said, as Remus stood up. "We're right behind you."

"Where's Stacey?" Remus asked?

"She was just waking up as I was leaving. She'll be down in a minute." Lily replied, looking back at Remus as she walked with James.

Remus nodded. "Ok. Just wondering."

James and Lily left the common room; Sirius, Remus, and Peter right behind them.

When they finally got down into the Great Hall, the majority of the students were already there, eating breakfast. They took their seats at towards the left end of the table; James next to Lily, Peter across from James, Sirius next to Peter, and Remus across from Sirius. They filled their plates and began eating. Remus, however, could not very much. Not with Sirius sitting right in front of him. He would glance up at Sirius for a second, then look back down at his food and try to continue eating.

Little did he know Sirius was doing and feeling the same way. He would glance up at Remus, and then glance back down at his food.

A little while after they arrived, Stacey finally arrived. She sat down and smiled and waved at them all. "Hey."

"Hey, Stacey." They all said.

Stacey Moroe was a good friend of Lily's. And that made her a good friend of Sirius, Remus, Peter and James. She was tall, curvy, had blue eyes, and had dark blonde/light brown hair.

There was an ancient prophecy written long ago in Latin that said, "Many, many years from now, a dark lord will come to the world of wizards. He will be the worst dark lord in their many, many years of existence. It will seem as though no one can save them. But that is not true. There is but one who can save them. She will be their light in the dark, although they will not know it." And that one was Stacey. The Dark Lord was Lord Voldemort, which was obvious.

The Prophecy went on to say, "She will keep his powers at bay, although it may not seem like that. Her mind powers will both help and hurt her. She will have powers the Dark Lord knows not." Stacey could read minds. Although, unless she had a very good, legitimate reason, she did not read the minds of her friends.

The full moon was about as hard for her as it was for Remus. She didn't transform like Remus did, oh no. But on the night of the full moon, her mind was open with a psychic link to Lord Voldemort. And there's more… "He will hate her for what she won't allow him to do, but hurt her, he cannot – for his heart yearns to her. She is his true love; and him to her." On the full moon, Lord Voldemort could do whatever he wanted to her. He would never hurt her. Oh, no. He loves her. He is unable to hurt her. It would hurt him as well. But, nevertheless, it hurt very much when that psychic link opened, because her mind was alone, naked, and he often summoned her to him, which hurt even worse.

Stacey hates the fact that she loved Voldemort. She hated it, and wished she didn't. But she could not deny it. It was the truth. She did. And she hated the fact that it was the truth. It made things very hard for her.

I know what you're saying. "She's perfect. She has no faults. I'll bet she's smart. I'll bet you she's even good at Quidditch…" and so on and so forth. I know. But you're wrong. She may seem like that, but I guarantee you, she's not.

Stacey's never known her parents. She doesn't like it when people yell at her; even they don't really mean it. When they do, she gets upset because she feels (even if she knows they don't mean it) that they're putting her down.

They were enjoying themselves when someone they didn't enjoy came their way. Remus looked up and saw him coming their way. He alerted his friends' attention to the fact that he was coming their way.

"Look," he said. "Snape."

Sirius' head jerked up sharply when he said Snape's name. "Snape?" he said. "What? Where?" His blue eyes darting around sharply looking for him.

"There." He said, pointing behind Sirius to Severus Snape.

"Hello, Stacey." Snape greeted nicely. "Lupin. Potter. Black. Pettigrew. Evans." He said a considerable amount less coldly.

"Snape." Said Sirius, James, and Lily just as coldly. "Severus." Remus replied. Peter just gulped and said nothing.

Stacey glared kindly at her friends. "Hello, Severus." She said kindly. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, in fact, there is." He said. "If I may speak to you outside for a moment."

"Of course, Severus." She said. "If you will excuse me for a moment." She said to her friends as she pushed herself out of her seat and walked with Severus to the doors of the Great Hall.

Sirius, Remus, James, and Lily looked at her until she was outside of the Great Hall and they could no longer see her. None of them liked the fact that she was so nice to Snape. But she was. Why, they could never figure out. They all wondered what Snape could possibly say to Stacey. Sure, he was always nice to her, they could tell he liked her – it was obvious - but what could he possibly need… or want… with her?

"You don't think he's going to ask her out, do you?" Peter asked, a little scared, and out of the blue.

Sirius just about blew up when Peter said that. "WHAT! ASK HER OUT? HE WOULDN'T DARE! SHE'S A GRYFFINDOR! HE'S A SLYTHERIN! HE'S SCUM! HE DOESN'T DESERVE HER! PLUS, EVEN IF HE DID, SHE WOULDN'T SAY YES!"

Remus put a kind hand on Sirius' shoulder. Everyone in the Great Hall had started to stare. "Calm down, Sirius, calm down. You're right. There's no need to get mad." Sirius opened his mouth to say something, but Remus put his other hand over his mouth to silence him. "He wouldn't do something like that. Now calm down, ok?" Sirius nodded. "Ok." Remus took his hands off Sirius.

"But what do you think Snape wanted with Stacey?" James asked, wondering.

They all shrugged. "I don't know." Remus said. "I guess we'll know when she gets back, now, won't we?"

They waited a little bit and then saw Lucius Malfoy walk towards the door of the Great Hall and leave.

"Malfoy." James said as he walked. "Bet he's leaving to talk to Snape. Bet he's going to break up his little chat with Stacey." They all nodded in agreement. It was probably true.

A second Stacey walked back into the Great Hall, Snape and Malfoy not far behind….

Stacey walked with Severus out of the Great Hall. When they got out, he led her to a place still in the main hall, but a little bit more away from everything.

"So, Severus," she said. "What do you want?"

"Actually, I need your help with something." He said. He was hoping what he was about to say didn't come off like a date. The other Slytherins would never forgive him if asked out a Gryffindor.

"With what?" she asked with some concern. She hoped it was nothing serious.

"I was wondering if…. if… you would spend the day with me at Hogsmead and help me find a birthday present for my mother." He said, hoping she wouldn't see it as a date. He would've liked nothing more than to date her, but he knew it would never happen. Not with her. Not ever.

She smiled, and Severus' heart melted. "Of course." She said. "I would love to."

Severus smiled. "Great. Thank you. I'll meet-"

"And what's going on here?" a voice interrupted.

Stacey heart jumped before she realized who the voice belonged to… "Lucius Malfoy." She said, turning around with a look of utmost loathing on her face.

"Stacey Moroe." He said to her, returning the look. To Severus: "Snape… what are you doing?"

"Just wondering if Stacey could help me with something this weekend at Hogsmead." He said. "And she can, so thank you."

Stacey turned her head back and smiled. "Anytime, Severus." And turned and walked back into the Great Hall. She found her friends and took her seat next to Remus.

"So, what did he want?" James asked curiously.

"Nothing." Said Stacey innocently.

Sirius leaned forward. "I don't believe you."

"Really, it's nothing." She said. "Severus just wanted to help him find a present for his mother for her birthday this weekend at Hogsmead."

Sirius nodded. "Doesn't sound like nothing to me."

"Sirius…" Stacey said, glaring. "It's nothing." Then reading his emotions… "Sirius… it is not a date."

"Are you sure?" Sirius said, knowing she was.

"Yes." She said, still glaring at him.

"Ok." He said.

She just chuckled at him and his ways and antics. He sure made life more enjoyable sometimes.

They ate, talked, and laughed, until they looked at their watches and realized that they had to go get their stuff, as their first period would be starting soon. They went up to their dormitories, got their stuff, and went to their first class, which just happened to be Herbology; Peter looking pale all the way there.
