Song: Isabella-Dia Frampton


"Happy Birthday," I smiled over at Remus sitting down beside him on the couch to morning of March 10th.

"Thank you," He smiled turning towards me and I noticed he was wearing one of the shirts that I had gotten him for Christmas and I was wearing the golden stud earrings that he had gotten me.

"I've got your present but I can't give it here, so will you meet at the classroom after classes?"

"Is it a good present?" He smirked.

"I got it, so of course it is," I stuck out my tongue at him.

"What in the world was I thinking?" He chuckled

"I do not know," I smiled then stood up.

He looked around then stood up too skimming his hand over my bottom and up my back. Raising my eyebrow I smirked up at him, "oh excuse me." He gave a crooked smile and I giggled shaking my head as we walked to the door.

oOo

Walking into the classroom I looked around and saw that he wasn't there yet. Sitting down on the table I slipped off my uniform cardigan and sat the present and it to the side waiting for him. Biting my lip I looked at the new black leather shoulder bag I had gotten him. He had been looking at it last Hogsmeade trip and he desperately needed a new one. After waiting about 5 more minutes the door clicked open and he walked in.

"Are you my present," He smirked walking up in front of my and placed his hands on my thighs over my skirt and leaned down giving me a sweet kiss which I returned.

"Noooo," I smiled leaning back picking up the box that contained the bag. "This is your present…"

Raising his eyebrows he took the box and unwrapped it slowly, torturing me. Finally when he took off the lid his jaw dropped, "Addie this was way too expensive."

"Was not," I smiled up at him as his hand came up wrapping around the back of my neck pulling me closer. Wrapping my arms around his neck as he laid his bag on the side of the table our lips met in the middle. His lips quirked into a small smirk and one of his hands slid down my back and under my thigh as his other went to the other lifting me up slightly and scooting my to the edge moving me closer to him.

Pulling back slightly he looked down into my eyes, "Thank you Add, but why couldn't give that to me in the common room?"

"Well I could have given that you but I couldn't have done this," I bit my lip leaning up and kissing him softly.

"Ahh I see," He breathed against my lips as he hands slid down to my knees then back up my thighs under my skirt. Leaning forward I pushed my lips to his and instantly his tongue ran over my bottom lip as his hands ran up and down my legs. Smiling slightly I opened my mouth and ran my fingertips down to the edge of his uniform sweater and started pulling it up. Rushing he pulled away as I pulled it over his head and we instantly went back to our positions though this time I started work on the buttons of his shirt.

He started pushing back slightly and I gladly laid back as he placed a hand on my lower back propping up on his elbow to support his weight. Undid the last button on his shirt as his lips started kissing down across my jaw to my neck. Closing my eyes I tipped back my head giving him better access as my fingertips glided down his chest.

I felt his lips curl into a smirk as he nipped at my sweet spot and a soft moan snuck through my lips. Slowly his hand slide down my thigh and out from under my skirt then back up over it to my stomach. I felt his hand start undoing the buttons from the bottom up, his fingertips tickling my skin slightly. As he got higher I felt my heart rate increase along with my breathing becoming shallower. Kissing back up my jaw his lips met mine while he pushed aside the sides of my shirt. I felt his thumb brush over my scar starting at the bottom near my belly button then moving up as it curved over to the left ending at the bottom of my bra.

"I think they were meeting in here," James voice said right outside the door.

"Shite" Remus whispered and immediately grabbed his wand pointing it at the door and forced the little gap that had opened closed.

"You didn't lock it!" I exclaimed in a whisper as he hopped off the table.

"Sorry, I was distracted," he gave a sheepish grin looking over my body as he pulled me up and off the table.

"Are you guys in there?" James questioned and the door opened quickly this time giving no time to respond. Immediately Remus stepped in front of me and turned my back to him.

"What the bloody hell!" Sirius yelled out and I quickly buttoned up my shirt and turned around taking in the picture. James and Peter were standing there slack jawed behind Sirius who was glaring hard as Remus who still had his shirt wide open. "What is going on here."

"Padfoot, I think we all know what is going on here," James piped up smirking and I glared at him which immediately made him shrink back a few steps. Unsure of what to do I took a deep breath and moved towards him slowly stepping in front of Remus.

"Addie…" Remus warned placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't touch her," Sirius barked and his hand immediately left my shoulder.

"Hey!" I yelled at him and his attention turned to me. "Calm down, take a deep breath or…something." He noticeably took a breath and un-tensed slightly. "Good now remember I'm a big girl and Remus is a good guy." Glaring he moved his eyes back and forth between us and it was silent until his glare softened a little more. Behind me I felt Remus buttoning up his shirt against my back.

"Moony I swear to Merlin if you hurt…" Sirius started.

"I promise I won't," Remus answered the question, not having to hear the ending. Nodding slightly Sirius backed off.

"Well this is an interesting ending to a day," James piped up once more and I just rolled my eyes turning around to see Remus a little paler than before but a small smile on his lips.

oOo

Wednesday morning I got up and dressed for class skipping down the stairs I saw Sirius sitting on the couch flopping down beside him he turned his head towards me. "What cha thinkin?" I smiled and he just shrugged. "Come on brother," I nudged his arm softly.

"What are you guys going to do?" He chewed on the inside of his lip looking over at me.

"What do you mean?"

"When we go home, when you have to leave this little fantasy, what are you going to do?"

"We've talked about it…" I looked down at the fire.

"And?" He questioned.

"Sirius," I frowned playing with my cuticles.

"Addie," he turned on the couch facing me.

"You have to understand that I wouldn't be able to make it in a marriage like that, I would rather die." I looked over at him, "we've talked about running away. I know that it's a lot to ask him and I never would but either way I'm not getting married this summer." I started realizing this for the first time and he slumped into the couch.

"Addie, you know that Remus can't head out on a camping trip with his condition and if you do run they will look for you," He whispered, "they will look for you and if they find you, you'll probably be killed." He shook his head as he got to this conclusion, "no, no, No."

Sighing I nodded, "I know Remus can't in actuality but I'm still going. Sirius it's either I try to survive or I die inside. I would rather try then give up." I bit my lip as he pulled me into a hug.

"What's going on?" James questioned coming up to the back of the couch with the other two behind.

"Just a little brother, sister bonding," I smiled up at him then switched my eyes to Remus before turning around and standing up smoothing out my skirt. Next to me Sirius stood up and walked next to me silently as we went down to breakfast. Biting my lip I remembered the first day we walked onto the train.

oOo

We were so secluded as we grew up our brother being our only kind of friend but as soon as he started changing we were alone. During parties we stuck to the corners, at the house we stuck to our rooms we were a basically one person but two bodies. That all changed on the train though when a loud boy with glasses popped his head in towing a shy looking boy with a book along.

"Ello, I'm James Potter and this is Remus Lupin can we sit here?" Sirius turned his grey eyes questioning them. Something we had both learned to do since we were about 5 but nodded nonetheless.

"I'm Sirius Black this is my sister Adhara."

"Addie," I corrected him and the boy with glasses held out his hand which we both shook. "So how do you two know each other?"

"Actually I just met him on the train wondering the corridors like myself and we decided to look together."

"Oh well hello," I nodded and he nodded back then did the same to Sirius.

The first couple minutes between the four of us were kind of awkward but by the time we got to the boats we were like old friends especially James and Sirius. Never had I seen Sirius open up so much to an outsider as we called them.

Hopping in one the boats, Sirius and I took the front seat while James and Remus sat behind us. "Sirius I think he's going to…" to late a chubby blonde haired kid fell out of the boat in front of us and started flailing around. Leaning over the side I held out my hand and he saw grabbing on pulling, gasping slightly I started going the opposite direction until Sirius held out his hand. The boy gripped onto it and we pulled hard he slid in as we stepped back causing the boat to wobble a little bit trying to gain my balance I felt hand press against my back stabling me.

Looking back I smiled at Remus, "Thanks."

"No problem," he nodded dropping his hands.

"Are you ok?" James asked the boy.

"Yeah I'm good," he nodded.

"What's your name?" Sirius asked which surprised me.

"Peter Pettigrew."

oOo

"Are you ok?" Remus asked me at the breakfast table where Sirius had surprisingly been silent even when James tried to joke with him.

"Just thinking," I murmured.

"About?" He pushed on.

"It can't be discussed here."

"I say we have a Marauder meeting after classes today to talk about what is going on between you two." James declared motioning between Sirius and I.

"Whatever," He muttered standing up and walking out of the great hall. Biting my lip I just closed my eyes, this has been the first time in 5 years he's been this closed off.

oOo

"What is up with you guys?" James frowned next to Remus on a table as Sirius and I sat together on another table in the classroom.

"Where's Peter?" I bit my lip.

"I told him to be here by now," Remus stated.

"I don't care I want to know now," James huffed.

"I'm going to run away," I looked up in his eyes and realization dawned on Remus' face. "I will not get married into that, it just not possible, I would rather run for my life than die inside."

"Addie you're only 16 what are you going to do until you can use magic legally?" He questioned.

"I won't, I'll live like a muggle. They wouldn't think to look for me there for awhile until they scoured everywhere else and by then I'll be able to use magic. Plus I can use my animagi form without a wand."

"Where are you going to go?"

"Until I turn 17 I'll move around from the city to the country side then when I turn I'll move someplace far away like the States." Looking over at Remus I saw a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"I'm going with her," Sirius announced and I turned to him shocked.

"Sirius you can't…"

"No, I am." He stated flat out. "You can't head out there alone."

"Fine then we're both going," I turned to the two of them.

"Well then we'll help plan." Remus stated and I gave a small smile. When James and Sirius had left to gather maps and everything to start planning Remus walked over to me.

"I want to go with you," He wrapped his arms around my back.

"You can't Remus, you and I both know," I shook my head wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I just wish I wasn't like this," He looked up at me.

Smoothing my thumb over his cheek I leaned down kissing him gently, "Then you wouldn't be the man I love."
