Disclaimer: I don't own HP sorry!
A/N: So here is the deal. I want to finish this story. I have ideas and everything but I have noticed that this story was not that well written, so I am rewriting/ re-posting all chapters. I am not sure if there will be any major changes , but I feel like to be able to get back into this story that I have put so much effort into I need to rewrite it and make it something that I can really be proud of.
Pictures: Chapter 1
Remus Lupin stumbled into his room. Yesterday had been horrible. It was bad enough that he had to transformed last night, with him being a werewolf and all. After collapsing onto his bed Remus rolled over just a bit so that he was able to see his night stand. Sitting their was a picture of him and Sirius from their 5th year. It was taken shortly after they had gotten together.
"I almost had you back," he said, trying to hold back the tears that where threatening to fall, "We could have started over. We could have had the life we always wanted." That was when he couldn't hold back the tears anymore and after awhile he started to drift off to sleep.
Remus had just arrived at the Shrieking Shack, but when he arrived there, he was not prepared for who he was about to see. Standing there was was Sirius. His Sirius, and even though his hair was all tattered and his robes were all ripped. Remus thought that he had never looked better.
After Remus took the pet rat away from Ron and had changed him back into Peter the rat immediately tried to deflect the blame from him and onto Sirius, "Remus, don't you think that Sirius would have told you about the Potter's switching their Secret Keepers?"
After shaking the thoughts out of his mind he looked at Peter in disgust "Not if he thought that I was a spy. I assume that is why you didn't tell me, Sirius?" Remus said as he remembered that not so pleasant time where his best friends in the world thought that he worked for the dark lord otherwise known as Voldemort.
"I'm so sorry Remus, I always new that you were not a spy but I had to do what was best for James and Lily you know incase something did happen." Sirius said with sadness and guilt in his eyes.
"It's ok, I forgive you."
Right when the two of them where going to finish Peter off for good so that Sirius' name could be cleared and he would become a free man, Harry stopped them.
"I just don't think that my mum and dad would want you guys to become murderers that's all." Harry replied when Remus and Sirius confronted him about it.
Not wanting to upset Harry, Remus decided to tie Peter up so that they would be able to transport him to the castle were the ministry officials were.
As they were walking up to the castle Sirius was the first to break the silence that had fallen over the group, "I have missed you so much Remus."
Smiling and grabbing Sirius' hand briefly Remus replied, "I missed you too."
"I love you right Moony?"
He smiled, and then replied, "Of course Padfoot,I love you too."
"Moony, I am so happy. My name will finally be cleared and Harry can come and live with us.
"We can finally be a family," he said beaming.
Right when Remus was about to respond to this sweet comment he started to feel the transformation starting he couldn't believe that he almost forgot about the full moon.
"Sirius, the full moon. You have to get the kids out of here!"
That was when he had started the transformation into the werewolf,
Remus was woken up from his fitful slumber by a knock from his door. He slowly got up and walked over to the door and called out,
"Who is it?"
"It's Harry, Sir. May I come in?"
He opened the door and so that the Gryffindor could come in.
"Hello Harry, what do you have on your mind? You can take a seat on the couch over there," he said pointing over to the sofa.
"Thank you Professor," Harry said taking a seat, "Um, there is something that I think you should know."
"Well, what is it Harry? You know you can tell me," he said with a smile.
"Professor, Professor Snape told everyone about you being a werewolf during breakfast," he blurted out all at once, but even though it was hard to understand Remus was still able to catch it.
"Oh," he said slowly as his smile started to disappear, "Thank you for telling me this, and now I think that it would be best if I started to pack."
"Pack?" Harry replied in a puzzled tone.
"Well, of course Harry no one would want their children attending a school that has a werewolf as a professor."
"Professor, you can't leave! You are the best Defense teacher we have ever had."
"I'm sorry Harry, but I think it would be for the best."
As Harry stood up to leave, he stopped to look at all the pictures that were littering the mantelpiece. Looking at them, he saw that there were pictures of the four Marauders. There are were a couple of Remus' parents, but there was one picture in particular that had caught Harry's eye. It was a picture of Remus and Sirius. They were both sitting on a sofa ,in what appeared to be the Gryffindor common room, and they seemed to be sitting very close to each other and the once in a while Sirius would would move so that he would be able to give Remus a little kiss on the cheek.
Remus noticed which picture Harry was looking at and then broke the silence that was being shared between then, "Well I suppose there is no lying to you now," he said with a smile, "Sirius and I were are together."
"So you love him?"
"Yes Harry, very much so." Remus just stared at Harry to see if he could judge the young boy's reaction and he only saw a look of understanding.
"You know," Remus started to say, "last night he was so excited that you would be able to come and live with us once he had became a free man." When Harry heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He could not wait until he could go live with his godfather.
"He really wanted us to be a family. You deserve to have a family that loves you Harry," he added.
"You know what Professor?"
"What?"
"I believe that Sirius will get his name cleared, and when that happens I will be so excited to go and live with my new family."
Remus was so unbelievably happy to hear that. The only thing that was missing was his Sirius and then everything would be perfect.
"You're right Harry Sirius' name will be cleared, but now I think that it is time that you go to class there are only a few more days left before the vacation."
"Alright," Harry said reluctantly, "Good Bye Professor."
As soon as Harry had left Remus decided that he might as well get started packing because the sooner that he was out of Hogwarts the better. After a while, he finally reached his wardrobe and after digging around he had photo album that was buried in the back under some discarded clothes. It had been a birthday present that Sirius had given to him during their sixth year. He started to look through it. There were pictures of James and Sirius and a lot of other random pictures that was a reminder of the happier times and it just brought a smile to Remus' face. Then he came to the one of him, Sirius and James after Gryffindor had won the House Cup. Everyone had huge smiles on their face and it was just a huge celebration. then he picked the picture up and flipped it over and read what Sirius had wrote all those years ago,
Mr. Padfoot will love Mr. Moony forever.
After he saw that Remus thought it would be a good idea to just go to sleep, he was still exhausted from the transformation last night and his stuff would still be be there when he woke up anyway.
Later that night Remus was awaken once again by a knocking at his door but this time it was louder and more urgent sounding.
"Alright I'm coming!" Remus shouted as he slid off of his bed and headed towards his door, but when he opened it he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Sirius? What are you doing here?" as Remus quickly pulled Sirius inside he started to lecture him again, "Are you crazy? What if someone saw you? You could have been caught. The will send you back to Azkaban" But then he saw that Sirius was smiling at him.
"What's going on? Is there something that I'm missing?"
"Well since you're angry instead of kissing me senseless then I say yeah you did miss something Moony."
That was when Sirius pulled out a copy of the Evening Prophet and in big bold letters the front page of the paper said:
PETTIGREW CAUGHT AND BLACK RELEASED.
The Sirius pulled the man that he loved more than anyone else in the world into his arms and gave him a kiss, and then he pulled out of the kiss and rested his forehead against Remus' and smiled when he asked.
"So love, what should we do for my first day as a free man?"
