I've always wondered why none of the marauders had issues with Sirius/Remus stuff. Really I did, I've always figured they were lucky guys but I don't think they'd be that lucky. Esspically when the top player of Hogwarts (Sirius) turns out to like guys as well. So...here's my twist XD
Oh by the way, I have thought of writing a After Hogwarts fanfic following this story line, its much more planned out then this one. And with this one coming to a close soon, maybe seven or so chapters left. I wanted to know if you guys wanted me to write it or if you'd rather it end here. I have the story split into three parts. 7th Year Hogwarts (what your reading), Before Azakaban, and Till Death. BUT I'll leave it up to you guys if I write/post them. If not then well thats cool, I totally understand. Just leave a review telling me yes or no.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON PRONGS" Sirius woke with a jolt as he heard shouting in their dorm. Peter's voice still echoing off the wall. He felt Remus stir beside him; he reached down and stroked his hair trying to get him to relax.
"Peter shhh, let me explain"
"Are they fucking dating?"
"What does it matter?"
"THAT'S DISGUESTING" he had roared, Sirius felt his whole body go numb. Peter never really spoke out against the marauders; he always followed them and would give his opinion but never said things against them. And here he was, bashing the one thing that meant the most to Sirius.
"No its not, so they like one another what's the big deal" Sirius could hear James cross his arms over his chest. Thank Merlin someone was on their side.
"They are two guys, that's…wait how long have you known"
"Its quite obvious really, they didn't have to tell me"
"And your OK with this?" Peter snapped.
"Of course I am, their happy why the hell should I not be ok with this"
"THEY'RE GAY!" he shouted. He had finally succeeded in waking Remus, who now was looking up at Sirius.
"I told you to sleep in your own damn bed" Remus hissed, his voice full of ice. Sirius felt himself gulp as he looked down.
"Remus I'm sorry"
"Look…you might be ok with this" Peter started "But I'm not, and I won't put up with it" Sirius heard him walk over to Remus' head. Sirius had his wand; he hadn't even realized he had reached for it. But it was gripped tightly in his hand, his knuckles white from his grip. When the curtains were flung open Peter was met with the darkest look Sirius could ever give anyone.
"If you have a problem" his voice was so cold you could feel the chill from them. "I suggest you talk to me about it, instead of shouting at James" he growled, voice full of gravel.
"You two are sick" Peter spat.
Remus was in the middle of what he felt like was the darkest feud between the marauders. And there had been many nasty fights between the four boys. His eyes darted back and froth, but when he heard Sirius' animalistic growl escape. "Sirius"
"No let him" Peter chuckled "The whole school is talking about it, apparently everyone else has it figured out"
"Good I don't have to hide it anymore" Sirius stood up, "And if anyone has a problem with them then all the need to do is come to me about it"
"And what about Remus, hmm" Peter crossed his arms over his chest "What sort of love potion did you slip him"
"Excuse me" the fire in Sirius' voice could have melted metal. "You think he's under a POTION"
"He'd need to be to be with you, especially if it's going to make his life even harder"
No one had time to grab Sirius before the man was on top of Peter giving him a what for. It took both Remus and James pulling at him to finally get him away from a very bruised and broken Peter. Sirius' only wound was a busted lip. Peter meanwhile had two black eyes a swollen top lip and a busted bottom lip broken nose and probably a broken arm.
Sirius shook with rage, raw and very real. No one had seen the eldest Black so angry, so fierce.
"Keep your pet on a damn leash Remus" Peter spat "Because if you don't it'll get him hurt"
"And what are you going to do to him" Remus growled, anger bubbled up. "Just try it"
"Calm down" James stood between the two parties "Look…Peter this is a very real thing, and if you can't handle it…well I'm not going to stop them from being happy. It won't happen. Either you need to deal with it…"
"Or what" Peter spat "Leave the marauders, not like any of you would care"
"Oh look Pete's gonna cry" Sirius spat wiping his bloody lip on a napkin Remus had handed him "He's gotta make it all about him"
"Oh shove off Black" Peter growled "Its you who's always fucking up this friendship, with all of your mistakes"
Sirius starred at Peter, unable to react due to the now very tight grip on his arms. Remus' grip would defiantly leave bruises on his forearms from how tight he was squeezing.
"Get out" Remus whispered. "If you're going to react like this, get out"
"Who are you to?"
"I SAID GET OUT" Remus' voice roared through the dormitory causing the three boys to flinch. The wolf under his skin growled and raged begging to rip the shorter boy to shreds. "Before I lose control of my temper"
"Fine, and until you two stop being faggots you can consider me gone"
"Then get gone" James spat "And the next time you dare call them that I'll give you a good what's for"
The dorm door opened and slammed shut and the three boys stood there. The three of them furious and shaking with anger. Eventually the room cooled down and the three of them sat away from one another, too afraid their own raging tempers might hurt the other.
The room stayed silent for hours, the three of them sitting there.
When the door creaked open they all three glared at the door.
"Am I interrupting something" Lily whispered as she held a bag "None of you came to lunch and Peter said-" she stopped at the sound of a growl, Sirius was curled up in his bed the mere mention of Peter's name causing his blood to boil.
"It's ok Lily" James sighed. "Peter knows…it wasn't pretty"
"That would explain a lot" Lily sighed opening the bag and handing the three of them something to eat. "Eat, you need it, all of you look peakish"
"It's just the anger draining" Remus' voice was flat "That's all"
"So…where does that leave the marauders?"
"Needing a new recruit" Sirius looked at Lily "Wanna join"
Remus and James looked at him; Lily looked between the three boys emerald eyes wide.
"I'm serious; if he comes back I can't promise I'll ever be able to control myself"
"If he comes around you'll find a way" James sighed, mouth full of a sandwich. "He's just a little shocked, I mean…it is quite different" James chuckled "Not that it's bad, just…well you know your past Sirius. It just is a shock"
"Yea, yea" Sirius grumbled "That's what everyone says to me. Ya know…people make mistakes. Besides we can fucking change"
"Easy Sirius" Remus walked over and sat on his bed. "Just…calm down" he ran his fingers through his hair.
"The whole school knows" Lily sighed "And they are torn down the middle" she sat on James' bed and rubbed his back. "Most of them are fine with it…but it just gave more ammunition for Slytherin"
At the mention of Slytherin Sirius head turned looking at Lily, he hadn't even thought about what his decision might do for Regulus.
"Have they…"
"Wouldn't dare" Lily finished already knowing "I think if at most they tried I think Regulus is in the right mood today to tear them all a new one"
"Why do you say that" Remus asked.
"Peter made a mistake to cross the youngest Black about his older brother"
"Have I ever mentioned how much I love him" Sirius laughed loudly leaning against Remus. "I need to send him a thank you card"
The four of them laughed and all of them eventually ended up on one bed, lost in conversation. Though as much as Sirius and Remus tried they couldn't get this morning out of their heads. Hopefully it would blow over in a few days and the event would pass. But in the back of Sirius' mind, he knew it wouldn't be over quickly. The past few weeks had gone by so sweetly that he had sensed for a while that it was all about to fall underneath him.
