Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this story so far!!

I realised that I forgot the date of events on the previous 2 chapters. Chapter one took place in the summer of 1976 (between 5th and sixth year) and chapter 2 during Christmas 1976 (sixth year)

Chapter 3: bachelor party
July 1977

It was only two more days before the wedding. Before Remus Lupin and Sirius Black would declare their love for each other in front of the entire world. And Sirius couldn't wait until that day finally approached. Remus and himself had been dating since their 4th year and it was last year, in the summer of their 5th and 6th year that he decided to ask his lover to marry him. He had asked permission for Remus' hand in marriage to his father and he had happily obliged, even more so. He had given Sirius the Lupin family engagement ring and after Remus accepted, when he proposed last Christmas, he had offered to hold the wedding on the large estate the family possessed.

Sirius was taking a stroll through the gardens in the summer afternoon sun. He hoped that the weather would remain this way for the next few days. The wedding was held in the gardens and rain could easily put a damper on the wedding. Luckily all the weather psychics and the muggle weather stations said that it would be dry.

He was having his bachelor party tonight. Because of their mutual friends and the tradition that the couple to be married weren't allowed to attend the other ones party, they had decided to have two bachelor party's. Remus had his yesterday and tonight would be his turn. Even though he looked forward to it he didn't like the fact that it would be the second night in a row that they would spend apart. Remus came home at 6 AM still drunk and fell a sleep the moment he hit the bed. And he suspected that it would be the same for him. He briefly wondered how the guys could handle two bachelor party's in a row, but soon dismissed it. That was their business. He decided that he just wanted to have fun, even if his Remus wasn't going to be there.

"Can some one tell me where we are going?" Sirius asked. Half an hour ago he was fetched from the mansion, blindfolded and now taking to who knows where.

"No, we told you Sirius that that is a surprise. You just have to wait and see" That was his best man, James.

"Can you at least tell me how much longer I'm going to be dragged by your sorry ass."

"Stop whining Sirius, we are all ready here." He suspected that that voice belonged to Remus' older brother Remilus.

The blindfold was taking from his eyes and it took a few moments for his eyes to adjust. When he could see, he noticed that they were standing in front of a muggle strip bar.

"Thank gods that you are bi-sexual, Sirius. Last night we brought Remus here and he wasn't the least bit interested. He spent the entire time here talking to one of the strippers, about her child!" James said.

"Yeah, I mean here you are with a dozen half naked girls and all he bloody did was talk." Peter commented.

His brother-in-law Jeffrey proceeded. "We noticed he was bored out of his mind. We tried one those strip joints with men, but us straight lads couldn't last there for longer that 5 minutes. Eventually we settled with this nightclub. Refius and Remilus had to charm some of the ID carts so we could get in."

"You better not bring us the same kind of troubles, Sirius, or we kill you. Remus drove us mad last night."

"Don't worry" What Sirius actually wanted to say was, 'What else do you expect, you idiots, bringing Remus to a strip joint.' But he held back.

The gang, existing of Sirius, James, Peter, Remus brothers Refius and Remilus, his sister's Mira muggle husband Jeffrey, his other sister's boyfriend Brent and his cousins Amis and Lontis, entered the bar.

The bar was obvious a muggle one. There were about a dozen men watching the girl on the stage dancing and drinking beer out of a bottle. A waitress, barely dressed, approached them and showed him to a table. "Hey weren't you guys here yesterday"

"Yup, we have two bachelor party's in row." Peter conveniently left out that it were for guys getting married to each other.

"That you are still standing. I would think that it would have killed you. Anyway have fun" She left after noting down the drinks they wanted.

"Now Sirius isn't this great. You have naked girls and beer, what else does a man need" Said Amis.

The strip joint closed at 2 o'clock at night. The 9 young men left the bar completely drunk and barely able to walk. They tried to help each other standing, not that any of the men were any use, resulting in the fact that they kept falling all over each other.

They were planning on searching for a nightclub still open and willing to let them in. But instead of that they ended up in park, with 3 bottles of whisky they bought, and settled with spending the rest of the evening half past out on the grass.

Refius Lupin stood up and slowly tried to walk to where Sirius was sitting.

"Mr Black" he said with a fake serious tone "as the eldest brother and the best man it is my duty to call upon your honour regarding your intentions of the youngest member of the Lupin household"

Everyone cheered at the fact that he was still able to talk with normal words. Refius bowed to his audience and proceeded.

"What do you have to say." Sirius tried standing up and after 2 attempts he stood.

"I have nothing but the best intentions, Sir" with the word sir he clasped his ankles together and tried to stand completely straight, which of course he failed. "I love Remus very much and will do nothing to violate his honours. Expect, of course, to shag him senseless whenever I have the change, but that goes without saying."

"Naturally." The both of them had to try very hard not to burst out in laugher like the other 7 of groups had. "I am very pleased to hear that your intentions are honourable, now lets drink on the up coming union." They opened a bottle of whisky and drank it half empty.

"CHEERS" everyone said at once.

"To Sirius and Remus may they live happily and long and have many opportunity's to fuck each others brains out."

"TO SIRIUS AND REMUS"

It was at 5 am that they somehow ended up back at mansion. Sirius strolled to Remus' rooms, which for the past few weeks had been dubbed as the canine quarters. He walked to the bedroom and laid down on the bed and, without taking his clothes off, fell asleep on the silken blankets. He didn't know that Remus had woken up by this. Didn't know that he had undressed him, had put him under the cover, crawled against him and planted a soft kiss on his forehead. Didn't hear the soft "I love you" whispered in his ear. But Sirius didn't need to hear that. He knew and would always know.
