Hello all, that's me again. Here goes another chapter. Remus starts to fall in denial. Yep, you heard that right.
Chapter 4
"And the Hell will freeze over."
"It sure will. Someday."
"Bloody hell. You're making things very difficult, Sirius." Strange expression crossed Sirius face. Neither fear nor pain, but somehow had them both embracing each other like lovers to create something unknown.
"I beg your pardon, sir. Is the fact my opinion on some matters differs from yours makes me difficult?" James rolled his eyes.
"You're impossible."
"Impossibility, my dear, is what I'm made on." The boy flashed a smile. The Marauders were in a deserted classroom chatting. For once the kid wasn't with them. 'He needed to think' according to Sirius.
'Yes, how'd Sirius taste best…'
'God, Moony! What the hell you're thinking!'
'Obviously you're thinking about your very naked best friend with his very naked kid in bed all around each other.'
'Shut the fuck up already.'
'Oh great. I even started swearing. What'll be next?'
'Two possibilities here: either you kill the kid, or you ravish Sirius.' Sometimes Remus was very glad about being a werewolf, because it saved him lots of adolescence problems like unwanted erections, blushes, screeching voice. And now was definitely one of that times. The mere thought of naked Sirius was enough to cause very unwanted reactions, and adding the fact the image of Sirius was sweating and moaning beneath Remus done it no good.
"Remus!" The werewolf jumped hearing somebody scream his name into his ear. It turned out be James.
"Bloody fuck, you want me deaf?!" James officially lost his mind.
"Remus... do you realize you just used the f word?"
"So?"
"Okay, nothing. Nothing at all." 'Calm down James, nothing wrong with sweetie-Remie suddenly swearing. ... Bloody hell. That is bloody wrong!' Sirius was sitting casually on the desk not really paying attention.
"Hey, he's allowed to have a life, isn't he?" He said suddenly and smiled.
'Sirius smiled at me.'
"Is swearing equal to life in your dictionary?"
"No, but it's right up there with sex and food. And oxygen. Don't let us forget about oxygen." Sirius explained smiling devilishly. 'Such a siriusish thing to say.' James raised his arms in mock defeat.
"I swear, you people are getting on my nerves."
"We're so sorry James." Sirius smirked cocking an eyebrow.
'Now Remus, shut the fuck up and listen. Don't you ever stay in one room with Sirius alone. Forbidden. Understood?' As werewolf's eyes rested on his best friend's body he found out that the particular safety notice might be very hard to keep.

"My Lord?"
"Bring the boy."
"But he's in Hogwarts, my Lord; we can't steal a student from under Dumbledore's nose!"
"Do you realize, you fool, what danger he is to us? He must be brought here or killed. You can kill him if you can't bring him. But only as a last instant. Understood?"
"Y-yes, My Lord."
"Good. Go now."
~*~
"Phew, it's over. Let's go back to the common room."
"I'll be there in a minute."
"You're going to look for the boy?" James asked smirking.
"No, he's by the lake. I have to get him."
"He doesn't know his way up to the castle?" Remus said trying not to sound ironic.
"There're muggle repalling charms on the castle." Sirius said in a very informative tone.
"What of them?"
"He's a muggle. Go figure."
~*~
"Hey, kid." Three boys appeared on the shore of the lake. The boy sitting there turned around.
"What do you want?"
"Black said you're a muggle." The boy gave him a blank stare. "And we don't like muggles. Do we, Crabbe?"
"They're even worse than mudbloods." The boy was still staring at them confused.
"I have no idea why Black puts up with you. He has no wizard's pride." The boy stood up facing the other three.
"What do you want with him?"
"Nothing with him, for now. But everything with you." Lucius Malfoy said coming closer to the child. He ran his fingers gently over the boy's cheek, but the boy didn't respond to the caress.
"Leave me alone." He said instead.
"I'm afraid I will not, dear. With no Black here, you're going to be pretty vulnerable, and you'll be great fun, I'm sure."
"Don't touch me." The boy hissed again.
"Are you trying to scare me, child? Your lover perhaps can, but you? You're nothing. Just a little toy, which I intend to use." The lights went on in little boy's eyes. He didn't say anything, he just stared. Lucius Malfoy suddenly felt endangered. 'It's nothing' he said to himself. 'He's just doing what he saw Black doing. No danger here.'
"Leave me alone." The boy said in deadly whisper. The older boy bit back a yelp of fright and laughed.
"You're overestimating yourself." He took one step forward and suddenly he was on the ground at Crabbe's and Goyle's feet. He shook his head slowly. 'How's that possible?' he asked himself. 'Never mind.' He took out his wand. "You're going to regret this, boy." He hissed through clenched teeth. "I swear you will. Petrificus Totalus." The boy took a step back frightened. Lucius Malfoy bared his teeth in a sneer.
And suddenly he couldn't move.
"I did tell you to stay away, Malfoy." A calm voice said. Sirius Black smiled and reached for the boy. "Come here child." And the child obeyed falling into the embrace that was so well-known. That was warm and comfortable and safe. The older boy kissed the child's forehead and smirked at the still unmoving pale figure. Then they turned and walked back to the castle.
They didn't notice a pair of gleaming amber eyes in the window.
~*~
"Will you look at them, they're so sickening!" The Death Eater sneered to his collegue.
"But that boy... did you see how he pushed young Malfoy away?"
"Yeah, it's a werewolf's strenght. Normal. I bet Black can do better. He'd rip Lucius' heart out instead of punching him."
"How are we supposed to control that insanity on legs!"
"Easy. The boy, for starters. I heard they are mated."
"Yeah, sure, go round kidnapping the kid who can throw you up into the lake. But of course we don't have to deal with the boy. We may just go straight to Black."
"Where we have our second advantage. Master ordered a piece of silever inside him, wrapped up so that he doesn't get hurt. But it's only a matter of a simple spell to have him reduced to a helpless, moaning pile."
"Why not use Cruciatus then?"
"I can't believe you're that thick. Werewolves posses natural magic, a hell of a lot of it. especially those strong-willed. Which we know Black is. He won't be affected."
"Damn."
"Hey, once we have control over him, he's ours to play with. He sure has a good body."
"That's all you can think of?"
"And that child is not so bad either."
~*~
Remus was in rage. Sirius was his. His! How dare he! This... this *muggle*, how dare he touch, how dare he think about touching *his* Sirius!
Huh...?
Remus halted and rewinded last paragraph.
So that's what it was. he was insanely jealous of Sirius. But... it was right. Wolf and Dog. Remus and Sirius. Sirius and Remus.
'Why didn't I see it before...'
They belonged to each other. It wasn't that he was angry at that kid for taking their Sirius away, that child was unknowingly severed the bond between them. Between Sirius and him. Them.
All of those dreams... The Wolf was telling him what it wanted, what it needed. What he needed. Sirius. Not his blood, not to rip his smooth skin, not to tear the throat...
To Love.
The Wolf had chosen years ago.
And Remus hated the Wolf.
How could he have accepted its choice?
~*~*~*~*~
Here ends chapter four. Sorry everybody for the long wait, I hope somebody would care enough to read. ^_^
Please read: I've read a story in which Draco and Harry become friends, and Blaise Zabini (a boy) sees Harry in the Mirror of Erised. In the last chapter I read Blaise caught Harry alone outside and was attempting to kiss him. My problem? I totally forgot the name of the author and title of the story. Can somebody please tell me what the heck it was? either by e-mail ( keiran@poczta.onet.pl ) or review.
