CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

Oh, Sweet Puberty

The following days presented itself with anxiety. James and Sirius hadn't said another word about Remus' condition and Peter was as ever oblivious. James hated to admit it but he was afraid that things would never be the same with Remus, he felt that he'd start noticing new animalistic things about Remus. He didn't know what his mind was doing, it was painting this larger than life picture in his head. He was afraid of the wall of awkwardness that would appear on Remus' arrival.

It was on that morning the three boys found themselves sitting at James' kitchen table. Peter was enjoying the left overs from breakfast whilst James was staring outside of the window his hands clasped under his chin. Meanwhile Sirius was sitting, Mrs Potter's rhinestone compact mirror sitting in front of him. A colourful array of powders and thick looking cream perfectly placed on the table.

James was too busy thinking of how his conversation would flow with Remus to notice what Sirius was doing.

"Boys!" Dorea called from the other room. "You have a visitor."

Peter looked towards James as if asking for permission to get up from the table. But Sirius was already out of the door running towards the other room, and in that moment, James had never been gladder to have Sirius. As he ran, forward and wrapped his arms around Remus who dropped his cases to put his arms around him as well.

"Oh Remus, I missed you!" He said. "Finally you have come to save me from these ninny's!" He laughed as he picked up Remus' case.

"Hello, what is that stuff you've got on your face." Remus asked, looking at the zigzagged red line that made its way across Sirius' face.

"It's glam rock make-up my dear Remy." Sirius smiled.

James and Peter stood awkwardly in the room, James not knowing what to say. "Is everything alright?" Remus asked as he looked at James and Peter.

"Yeah, James can't be arsed picking up your other case." Sirius smirked. "James do be a gentleman and pick up Monsieur Remus' case. After all he is your guest."

James looked at Sirius, who nodded at him as he mouthed 'come on'. "Of course my dear Sirius!" James said a smile across his face. "Why Monsieur Remus-" He said attempting an awful French accent. "Do let me take, uh how do you say? Your case."

"Yes, that is exactly how you say it." Remus laughed. "I don't mind, I'll take it."

"No, no, no!" James said picking the case up before Remus could. "I will carry it for you Monsieur."

"You're both nutters." Remus said a broad smile on his face, not meaning the comment. After all their nutty-ness was what made them so great.

II

James was positive that he'd start noticing things about Remus, but in all honesty there was barley anything. Yes he gawked at some of his scars wondering how he got them, wondering if one was his bite mark. But apart from that -and Remus' usual awkwardness to opening up about things- everything was normal.

It was on that night they found themselves sitting on James' bedroom floor a large amount of sweets -mostly from Peter's case- surrounding. Sadly most of them didn't contain sweets but were in fact empty wrappers. All four boys in their pyjamas, Peter's were too tight around the stomach. Sirius' were an awful shade of green that he would've thrown away if it weren't for the comfort of them. James had a simple blue and white stripes. And Remus a red tartan pattern.

"Worst thing you've ever done, go!" Sirius said slapping his hands together. There was a chorus of 'uh's' from the three boys.

"I once ... When I was younger. I stress when I was younger." Remus said his face turning red. "I used to run around my back garden naked."

"C'mon Remus, that's a rubbish thing! I want the gore. Not your nudeness." Sirius winked taking a bite from a chocolate bar.

"I once did a wind charm to make a girls skirt go up." James grinned, popping a flavoured bean in his mouth.

"James!" Sirius said eyes wide. "You sly horse! I thought you didn't like girls in that way, were they not 'yuck'." He laughed.

"Well, I've had a lot of time to think about things and well. I rather like girls." James smiled.

"Me too." Chimed Peter, looking at James for approval.

"And how do you both-" Remus started.

"Three." Cut in Sirius.

"Three, know that you like girls. Why I can remember a time when you all thought they were 'yuck' and 'stupid'." He raised an eyebrow.

"Well my dear Remy ... People change ... Things change." Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows, moving his face towards Remus'.

"Merlin, don't." Remus pushed Sirius away from him.

"What things?" Chirped Peter a pasty in his hand. The three boys looked at him trying not to laugh.

"You mean Pete that you don't ... You don't know about-" James looked at the other two boys for help. Only to have Sirius take his index finger and make a whistle noise as he tilted it in the air. Still nothing, Peter's face was as blank as ever.

"They're asking if you've ever had an erection?" Remus said, the other two boys began to laugh.

"'Erection'? Really Remus, couldn't you have just said boner." Teased Sirius.

"What's that?" Peter asked.

"Y'know ... It's when you're-" James looked at his crotch. "Y'know."

"No?"

"Basically Peter, an erection is when your penis enlarges when you're sexually aroused." Remus said rolling his eyes when James and Sirius started giggling at the word 'penis'. "Will you two grow up."

Peter squeaked as he admitted, "I've never had one..."

"Don't worry Peter, I haven't either." Remus said. "And I'm not terribly excited to either."

"Remus, you should be excited!" Sirius burst still laughing. "It is rather enjoyable."

"You're so immature Sirius-" Remus started only to be interrupted by James loud laugh. "You too James! Peter I'd suggest that you go to the library and purchase a book on puberty." Remus suggested.

Once James and Sirius had wiped away the tears of laughter Sirius managed to breathe out. "I can't believe you have never had a stiff one!" He called at Remus and Peter as he laughed, looking at James waiting for him to join. "What is it James?" He asked.

"I've never hard a stiff one either." He admitted. "But I think I'm going to soon!"

"Don't worry James, it's not unusual. Some people bloom before others do." Remus said.

"Bloom," Chuckled Sirius. "That's such a pansy word."

"What's it like?" James asked.

"It's weird, I usually get it at night though. And I have these weird dreams of a long pair of legs, climbing over a desk. I think I may be an early bloomer as Remus would say." He chuckled.

"You get ... Dreams?" Peter gulped.

"Yes Petey." Sirius laughed. "Wet dreams." He winked.

"I'm not looking forward to this at all." Peter said lowering his head. "I wet the bed enough as it is…" He trailed off as James, Sirius and even Remus burst out laughing as they realised what Peter thought 'wetting the bed' was.
