United as One
In which Sirius meets the son of the devil. (Remus).

I tapped my foot again and again which was annoying Funchesca, my self-named sister.
"Will you stop that Sirius?" I kept tapping my foot. Why shouldn't I? Especially if my goal in my house is to drive my sister crazy. When I'm at school, my subsitutes are the teachers.... and my friends. I just love to watch Peter waddling around pulling his hair. Then I remembered. James hadn't owled my all summer. I just sat there for a moment trying to think of excuses. I'm brilliant at excuses. The most reasonable one was that he was dead, but since I was his best friend wouldn't they tell me? And besides, James will never die. I'm going to die first, we all know that.
There was a loud screech as the car pulled to a stop. I hopped out and took out my trunk. Funch was looking at me funny. I hate sisters. They're always looking at you like you've got a huge spot in the middle of your nose. Me, of course, I don't have one of those. No pimple has ever seen my face, no siree!
"What, Funch?"
"Don't call me that! Besides, you have a spot growing on your nose." my eyes widened. No! No! I covered my nose with my hand and she laughed. "Just kidding. Or am I? And besides the spot you look like you're about to cry. Softie." With that she turned away and did her prissie walk. I scowled. My sister is the most evil person in the world. I headed towards the barrier and rushed in.
"Si!" I heard a familiar voice yell.
"James! I thought you were dead!"
"I might as well have been! The idiot at my house took up the whole house. I couldn't go anywhere. I swear, he must have skulls and buried treasure in his room." my best friend clenched his fists in an angry gesture.
"What?" my best friend looked surprised.
"Haven't I told you?"
"How? You haven't owled me all summer!" James started blushing.
"Sorry about that. I've had no time, and when I did, mum was using my owl."
"So what's been happening?" I asked as we started to the train."
"Well, we went to church and this guy's house burnt down and we had to take in the family. I can't beleive mum offered to. Though, now that I think of it, Anna's real nice. And pretty too, except she's going out with a guy from her old school. And I have Lily."
"Not yet." I reminded him.
"Right. Anyways, the guy, Remus, is a total jerk. I'd swear he was a murderer." I raised an eyebrow.
"No really!" said James.
"Sure. And 'sides, what wrong with punk/goth stuff anyways? I tried it once and it's real cool. You wear all this makeup though. Personally I think my natural beauty is better but-"
"We get the point, Si." He shook his head. "I guess you'd have to meet the guy."
"Then why don't you get me to." His eyes widened.
"You're kidding!"
"No, I'm not." I looked around for a moment. "Where is he?" James shrugged.
"I dunno." then he looks around and sighs. "Over there. Be careful." he pats my back and heads towards the now spotted Peter. Now I'm nervous. I don't know what to do. I said I wanted to get to know the guy, but all the sudden I was nervous. I am not a person who gets nervous talking to people. I got used to it by the time I got into Preschool, even then I was popular. I'm glad I was, Preschoolers can be really mean sometimes. One kid was teased constantly, I was a bit of a softie when I first met James back then. We were both going to a muggle school so we'd respect them. It worked, especially on James. He never would'a liked Lily if he was prejudiced against muggles.
I took a deep breathe and took the plunge. Little did I know that this one little thing would make my life a lot more confusing, which I didn't need at all at the moment.
"Hey, um, can I sit here?" I asked nervously. I sounded a lot like a first year. I did *not* want to sound like a first year.
"Sure." I heard a muffled voice from a guy just sitting there, hands folded over his chest. I could see what James meant now. Very well.
"I'm Sirius Black, you?" when he looked up, I saw a fleeting expression of surprise as though he were surprised I'd want to talk to him. It was weird, but i just waved it off.
"Remus Lupin."
"Cool name." a look of realization struck my face. "Hey, we're both canines!"
"What?" he said, looking a tad bit alarmed.
"Well, there's Sirius, the Dog Star, and Remus, the guy brought up by wolves, and Lupin, wolf!" I grinned. "Cool!"
"I'm surprised you know any of this stuff." said Rem (I'm already starting to call the guy nicknames, and this has got to be the most unfriendly person I have ever met!), a wry grin on his face.
"Yeah, well, when your best friend doesn't owl you for a month and you're grounded for the summer, plus there's no TV, you can't listen to the radio and you're locked in your room with a load of books-" I took a deep breath, "Well, you, learn things."
"You sound like you've been wanting to say that for a long time." He's a pretty understanding person, I thought analyzing him.
"i have." I leaned back on the chair and we had a comfortable silence for a moment. He didn't seem like the Holy Terror to me, not at all, just... Miserable.
After that we had a bit of polite conversation. I had to earn his trust before we could really be friends, and I sensed he did not trust easily.
Then the door slammed open. "Si! Come out here. Where the heck have you been. You missed the snack lady! And Cecile wants to talk to you." It was James. I sighed.
"Nanny's calling." I smiled and rolled my eyes." James looked offended. When the door shut, the question that I could tell had been on his mind popped out of his mouth.
"So how is he?"
"He's a cool guy, and no, he isn't punk. I asked him and he looked at me like I was crazy then he said, 'Punks die their hair pink.' He really seems nice just... Miserable."
"Miserable! Miserable! I'm the one who should seem miserable! He's taken over the house!" I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever." James patted me on the shoulder.
"You'll understad it my way eventually. When you get to know the creep."
"Or like him better." I muttered.
"Oi."
