"I'll read, shall I?" Lily offered, seeing the weary looks the others were shooting at the laptop.

The others merely nodded, scarred for life by the previous story. James shot her an encouraging grin, which made her stomach feel all fluttery.

She shook her head slightly to clear it. "Ahem. This story is called Sirius the Pureblood, and the description says, Something mysterious happens to Siri."

Sirius wrinkled his nose. "Siri? No thanks."

Lily rolled her eyes and started reading.

Sirius was exited

Lily pointedly ignored the spelling mistake, not wanting to make the others feel even more miserable.

to be going back to Hogwarts after avoiding his family for the summer.

"Sounds about right," Sirius muttered to James.

Today he wasn't so successful. He had ran into Bella,

"Bella?" Lily asked, confused.

"Bellatrix. My cousin." Sirius explained. "Although I have no idea why she's at my house. Usually, thank goodness, they only come at family gatherings. Those are only about twice in the summer. I think I would die if I'd be forced to see her and my other relatives more often than that."

and she did something COMPLETELY unexpected.

"It's in capital letters, so it has to be very unexpected." Lily said to the others.

"Imperio." She said, directing the unforgivable right at him.

"That's not capital letters level unexpected," Sirius said, only half-joking.

"Wait, isn't it illegal, though?" Livia asked, being the only one not in knowledge of Sirius' family situation.

"That won't stop her." Sirius said, slightly bitterly. "My whole family's rotten. Most of my cousins are aspiring death eaters."

"Oh." Livia answered, not really sure how to reply to that.

"Uh, I'll keep on reading, shall I?" Lily asked, before the silence got to awkward.

She led him into the dungeons. He only remembered a little, but was wondering why he was in the dungeons.

"Dungeons? My house may have dark places, but there definitely aren't any dungeons in my house. Or are we at Hogwarts already?" Sirius asked, confused.

"I'm not sure, to be honest." Remus replied.

"And I'm pretty sure that that's not how the imperius curse works." Lily said thoughtfully. "Didn't the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher say something about feeling as though you are in a happy bubble?"

James nodded. "Yeah, I think you're right. He'd be able to remember everything, just not control it. Well, unless she specified that he would forget what happened. Maybe that's the case…"

Lily shrugged and continued reading.

As he was leaving them, he ran into Bella.

"Hang on a moment," Remus interrupted. "I'm disoriented. I thought she left him in the dungeons? Why would she go back to check?"

"Give the story a chance." Lily said. "I'm enjoying it. Just listen, and we'll find out.

"Hello Beatrix." He said.

"No, no, no." Sirius interrupted.

Lily rolled her eyes at the fact that everybody felt the need to comment on stories every five seconds

"I have a strict Ignore-and-keep-walking policy when it comes to seeing my family." Sirius continued. "And especially Bellatrix. If I'd say hi, it would be the equivalent of writing 'please ruin my day by verbally putting me down and insulting me' on my forehead."

"Hello Sirius." She replied.

"Pah." Sirius snorted. "More like, 'Hello, my hopeless, blood traitor cousin. You're going down and so are your little useless friends'. That's her standard greeting for me."

He knew the next Hogwarts term would start soon, fifth year.

"So then I'm not at Hogwarts. So my house has a dungeon, apparently." Sirius said.

"Stop nit-picking." Livia said, flicking Sirius on the shoulder. The latter just rolled his eyes.

Only two left

"Two what?" Remus wondered. "Years?"

The others nodded unsurely, and Lily continued reading.

before he would be able to get away from all the Mudbloods and Bloodtrators in Gryffindor.

"Wait, what?" Sirius said. "Are you sure this is me and not Bellatrix?"

Lily reread the sentence, causing Sirius to frown. "Why would I think that?"

'If only I had been in Slytherin.' he thought.

"I don't understand." He said.

Livia's eyes lit up in understanding. "Oh! It's to do with the imperius curse! Obviously now you're the opposite of your true self: Slytherin, pureblood-supremist, and generally like the rest of your family."

Sirius nodded, still frowning a little. He didn't like the idea of himself turning into what he had always strived not to become.

He was on his way to class. He had been avoiding his former friends, Potter, Lupin, and Pettigrew.

"I don't like this story." Sirius said decidedly.

"I do." Lily said. "I think it's interesting."

"Well, I don't like the fact that I'm exactly how I don't want to be." Sirius said, folding his arms.

"Sirius," Lily gently placed a hand on his arm. "We all know you're nothing like this, so just sit back and enjoy the story. Even in the story you're not really like this, it's just the effects of the imperius curse."

Sirius didn't say anything, but relaxed a little.

The Evans girl had found him.

"Do you know where Remus is?" She asked.

"No I don't know, you filthy mudblood."

Lily frowned, even though she knew it was just a story. Blood purity was always a touchy subject with her.

Sirius sneered. He walked upstairs to class, leaving Lilly in shock.

"Hey! My name's spelt with one 'L'. Lily. Not Lilly." Lily interjected, before continuing the story.

Everyone noticed the change,

"Like, in that second? Or 'everyone had noticed the change', so gradually." Remus said. "I think the author means the latter, but I can't be sure."

especially when he started hanging out with Slytherins.

"Urgh." Sirius muttered darkly under his breath.

The only thing that stayed the same was his dislike for Shape.

"Well, at least you're not a completely lost cause, mate." James said jokingly. Sirius barely cracked a smile.

Everybody could see that the story was affecting him. He hated his family and everything they idolised with a passion, and Fanfiction!Sirius was everything Sirius went out of his way to avoid.

"I told McGonagal."

"And McGonagall is spelt with double 'L'." Lily said.

Remus said, "she said there was nothing that could be done."

"Great, so I'm stuck like this?" Sirius asked.

"It's just a story," Peter reminded him.

"We have to do something!" James practicality

"I'm not even sure what that word's supposed to be. Probably 'practically', but…" Lily trailed off, not really sure how to end her short rant.

yelled.

" We could ask him what happened." Peter suggested shyly.

"Why am I always fat and stupid, dead or the loser of the group?" Peter said, frowning. "Why can't I be the protagonist for once?"

"At least you're there," Livia reminded him. "I've only been in one so far, and that doesn't count, as it was the worst story ever, and I was unrecognizably warped out of character anyway."

Peter nodded, feeling much better.

"He's been avoiding us." James pointed out.

"I could find him in my animagus form." Peter said.

The marauders exchanged panicked looks, whilst Lily reread the sentence in her head.

"Wait, animagus forms?" She asked.

James started laughing nervously. "Yeah, some things these authors come up with."

Peter also joined in, chuckling whilst shooting Lily and Livia nervous glances. "I know, right? I mean, animagus forms?"

Lily looked at them sceptically, but let it slide.

"That could work, " Remus started, "try it Peter."

"Finally!" Peter said. "I'm finally doing something useful!"

"Yeah, and you were the one that had the good idea!" Remus said encouragingly.

Peter settled back for the story to continue, but he had a happy grin on his face.

_NEXT DAY_

"Sirius." Peter said nervously.

"What do you want?" Sirius snapped, sending Peter a glare to rival even Malfoy's.

"Pah." Sirius scoffed. "I could out-glare Malfoy any day. I can be very scary if I want to." He ignored the disbelieving glances everybody was shooting him.

Peter gulped.

"That's right, Pete, be afraid! Be very afraid!"

"What happened to you?" he asked.

"My family showed me the proper way to live, away from muggle filth." Sirius answered.

Sirius' momentary light-heartedness vanished, and he once again glared at the device sullenly.

"but Sirius-"

"Leave me alone, or bad things could happen. " Sirius interrupted.

The three boys hadn't taken his warning seriously. They should've. It was a full moon night. In the 'shrieking shack', there was a transformed Werewolf, a stag, and a rat.

Lily looked at the marauders, eyebrows raised. They looked back at her, expressions somewhere between guilty and nervous.

"Uh, Fanfiction authors and their ideas." Remus said, as calmly and jokingly as he could muster. He had never told Lily or Livia about his 'furry little problem' (as James liked to call it), and they had been lucky so far that no Fanfiction had mentioned anything about it so far.

He supposed that he should have guessed that it would eventually come up, but he had been trying to avoid thinking about what might happen.

"So…?" Lily said, the question evident.

"Uh, just the authors and their ideas." Sirius said quickly, but Remus waved him off.

"Sirius, it's alright. Lily, Livia, I…" He trailed off, not sure what to say.

"You're a werewolf…" Lily whispered, her eyes round as saucers.

Remus looked down at his hands, which were fidgeting with his robes. "Uh, yeah…" He didn't dare to look up at them, to see their reactions.

There was a moment of tense silence, until…

"Wicked." Livia said suddenly, eyes gleaming. That broke the tension, and everybody relaxed and chuckled a bit. Remus was still fidgeting, but he looked a little calmer. "So, do you, I don't know, have heightened senses, or something?" Livia asked.

"No, that's a myth…" Remus said, a small smile forming on his lips.

"Any hidden powers?" She tried again.

Remus shook his head, the corners of his mouth turning up.

"Do you eat raw meat?" She asked, grinning and wrinkling her nose.

"No!" Remus was definitely almost smiling now.

"And…" She paused dramatically, "Do you wear contacts to hide your colour-changing eyes?"

Remus burst out laughing. "Of course not. I'm completely normal, except, once a month, I… transform."

Suddenly, Lily went over to him and gave him a hug. He looked surprised, but pleased. "I'm so glad you told us." She said. "I, uh, had an inkling, but I wanted you to tell me when you felt ready."

Remus smiled. "Well, I wanted to tell you several times, but I always backed out in the last minute."

"Well, we know now." Lily said, sitting back down and continuing the story.

Suddenly they heard a screaming sound. A black dog entered, dragging a girl behind it. This girl was none other than Lilly Evans. The werewolf turned towards the girl hungrily.

Remus looked more upset now, how easy it would be in reality for someone to stumble upon him by accident, and to get bitten. He shuddered at the thought.

The dog blocked the stag as the rat tried to stop the Werewolf. The rat was failing, until it bit the Werewolf's ear.

"Hang on a moment." Livia interrupted. "Was the werewolf the only true bit, or are you guys really illegal animaguses?"

Thankfully, they didn't have to reply, as suddenly the door to the classroom opened. Not-so-thankfully, however, was the person that walked into the classroom.

Lily had the device back in her bag in a flash, before the intruder could notice anything.

"What's going on in here?" Chrissy Veronica Devitch asked in her high pitched, giggly voice.

Chrissy Veronica Devitch (Or, 'The Witch' as the marauders more commonly referred to her as) was a drama-queen, professional gossiper and, unfortunately, Sirius' ex-girlfriend. Who had deluded herself to thinking that Sirius still loved her. And was practically obsessed with him.

"Ooh, Sirius!" She chimed, reaching out as though to touch him. She thought the better of it when she saw his murderous expression, but didn't let that disturb her for long. "What a surprise!" she giggled.

Chrissy and Sirius had been in a one-month relationship in Sirius' fifth year (Chrissy's fourth), and it was, according to Sirius, the worst relationship of his life. She was clingy, always wanted his full attention, and incapable of discussing anything other than makeup, fashion, famous people and, of course, gossiping about others.

"Oh, hi, Chrissy." Sirius said dully.

"Oh, I love it when you say my name." she giggled.

Sirius raised an eyebrow at Livia, who was practically suffocating from trying not to laugh. Her face was almost as red as her Gryffindor tie.

"What are you doing here?" Sirius asked, still talking in the same monotone voice.

She sighed, like he had asked her the most romantic thing in the world. "Oh, I love talking to you. I was just looking for my BFF, Vivianne. You'll remember Vivianne, of course?" She said, batting her eyelashes at him. "Anyway." She continued, not waiting for a reply. "I was looking for her, then I heard voices. They were talking about… I can't remember. Anyhow, I then heard your voice, and decided that fate wanted us to be together again." She looked at him with big, clumpy mascara-clad blue eyes.

Sirius glanced helplessly at the others, who were all watching the unfolding scene with utmost amusement.

"I think I'll give you two a moment," James said, his silent laughter shaking his whole body.

"James, I swear. Don't you dare – no! Come back! POTTER!" Sirius yelled at the retreating back of his so-called best friend. He saw, panicking, as the others all started leaving as well. Bunch of traitors, the lot of them. He thought angrily. He would bet his fortune in his Gringotts vault that they'd be eavesdropping, anyway.

"I love your friends." Chrissy Veronica Devitch sighed. "I think they like me, too."

"You think?" Sirius asked, not bothering to keep the sarcasm from his voice.

"Oh, yes. Which is a good thing, because, when we're married, they'll be seeing a lot of me." She said with a giggle.

"Ah."

"I was actually dating Robert Hanks, but I broke up with him when you said 'hi' to me a couple of months ago."

Sirius winced as he remembered the incident: he had actually mistaken The Witch with someone else, and accidentally greeted her.

"Of course, I realized then and there that you were still in love with me. So I dumped him."

Sirius nodded dully. He could hear loud laughter from outside of the door, but Chrissy didn't seem to notice.

"And we are, like, the perfect couple. Because we're both so good looking." She told him.

Sirius looked her over. She had nice, blonde hair, true, and her face was also pretty (if you ignored the clumpy mascara, vivid blue eye-shadow and cherry red, tarty lipstick), and, he had to admit, she had quite a nice body.

Alright, he would admit that she was very attractive… Until she opened her mouth.

"So, the other day, I was talking to Crystal Evergreen, in Ravenclaw, she's, like, the biggest bitch ever, she told Andrew that Jasmine, (her best friend!) was cheating on him! Can you believe that? Like, who even does that! That breaks all the rules of friendship! Anyway, I was talking to her and she told me that Kylie, a Hufflepuff, she's super cute but she really doesn't know how to style her hair, and it's such a shame, because she has lovely dark hair, it's so full… Anyhow, Kylie said that Bruce, her twin brother, I once dated him, he was nice enough but an awful kisser… Felt like he was trying to find something inside my mouth with his tongue…" she giggled loudly. "Well, he said that his best friend, Derrik, another Hufflepuff, the one with those adorable big, brown eyes, anyway, he said we made a cute couple!" She finished with a giggle.

Sirius stared at her blankly.

"And he's not the only one, Vivianne was talking to a Ravenclaw called Claude…"

Sirius stopped listening. After all, what was there worth listening to? He watched her babble on about people that he didn't know or care about, counting the seconds until she caught a hint and left.

"Sirius?" She asked, waving a hand in front of his face. "Siri?"

"Huh? What?" Sirius asked, snapping out of his daydream of pushing The Witch out of the window.

"I was just telling you a fascinating story of how I found out that Deliah Green's boyfriend was checking out other girls!" She said. She paused to pull out a tub of sticky, red lipgloss, which she proceeded to smear over her lips.

Sirius didn't bother hiding his disgust, but she didn't notice. Or, maybe, she pretended not to.

"Anyway," she began in a completely different tone. Gone was the gossip-y, giggly, high-pitched voice, now her voice was deep, sultry… was she trying to be sexy? "I can't stop thinking about you…"

Sirius started moving backwards slowly. "Uh…"

"And I wanted to do this since you said 'hi' to me, all those months ago…" she said, walking towards him.

Sirius let out a squeal (a manly squeal, of course) as he bumped into the wall.

"And…" she began, but never finished her sentence, because she leaned forwards and pressed her sticky lips to Sirius' mouth.

A/N: Eyyy well that was a bit different – what do you think! And the boys' secret is safe for now… but for how long…? They will read the rest of the story next chapter, so stay tuned!

! Also, here's something important (for me): I know you all probably hate when authors self-promote, but I've started a new story, and I honestly think it's as good as this one – if not better! (if I say so myself). Agree? Disagree? Well, you'll have to check it out. It's called "Back to the Marauder's Era", and it's also somewhat a parody, but it's very different to this story. However, if you enjoyed this one, you'll definitely like that one! And please leave a review while you're at it. !
