A/N: I'm back with another Remus and Sirius fic. Go me! There's gonna be some slight James and Lily floating about in the story as well but that's just cause I can't get enough of the both of them…they're just so funny in my brain…again I was listening to a song and got inspired to write something so here it is.
Randomness of the Moraco: Sad to say this time while listening to music I didn't have any obscene images like the last time so sorry to all you wonderful fellow hentai otakus (even if you don't know Japanese you probably can figure out what I'm saying)

Chapter 1
The Incident
~
Early morning in the Shrieking Shack Remus Lupin curled up into a ball and began to cry shortly after his transformation back to a human. The rest of the marauders, whom had all transformed back into their human forms as well crowded around him with sorrowful looks upon their faces.
Sirius scooped the young werewolf into his arms. "Remus what's wrong?"
"I had the…the most horrible dream," he replied, still sobbing. Sirius looked worryingly at both James and Peter and then looked back at Remus in an attempt to smile. Remus looked into Sirius' eyes, seeing past the phony smile. "Sirius?"
"Yes love?"
"What happened last night?"
"Well, um-"
Remus glanced over at James noticing large claw marks had wounded his side. "No," Remus whispered. "No," he repeated and cried into Sirius' chest. Sirius hugged his boyfriend tighter. "Go," Remus told them. "Before Madame Pomfrey comes. Go and get out of here."
"But, Remus," they all protested not wanting to leave their friend in this position.
"Go, I'll see you all tomorrow."
Sirius, gave Remus a small chaste kiss and then stood to leave. James and Peter also stood starting their way out of the Shrieking Shack and Sirius followed.

The Marauders, minus Remus, were back in their dormitory in Gryffindor tower readying themselves for the rest of the day. It was a Saturday so at least they did not have class. If they had all would have fallen asleep drooling onto their text books. They would have liked to have slept all day but they felt someone would suspect something was up, especially Lily with her always inquisitive attitude. As they did so they made conversation.
"I have no idea how that greasy haired git found out about Remus, but I'd sure as hell like to give him a piece of my mind," James said. He winced as he put on a t-shirt due to the scratches Remus had given him the night before.
"You really should go to the infirmary and have Madame Pomfrey take a look at that James," Peter said.
Sirius quirked a response, "Are you insane Wormtail? He can't go to Madame Pomfrey! She'll want to know what happened and there's not much of another explanation than it coming from a large animal and with Remus becoming a wolf last night, and him being one of our best friends, what is she going to think, Peter? James going to Pomfrey could get us all in trouble."
"Which is why I'm not going and am going to bare it like a man," James added.
"We best make ourselves present for breakfast," Sirius said. "C'mon." Sirius walked out of the dormitory door followed by James and Peter.
When they entered the common room Lily Evans gave her usual greeting. "Good morning all," she said. She then hugged and kissed James.
"Morning sweetie," James responded.
"Mornin' Lil," Sirius managed to stifle out through a yawn.
"Still sleepy Siri?" she asked. He nodded in response. "By the way all of you look pretty put out. What did you do last night and where's Remus?"
"Remus is visiting his mother," Sirius replied to her second question.
"Oh silly me," she proclaimed. "He told me about leaving to go see her days ago, I can't believe I forgot. That still doesn't answer my other question though."
"We raided the kitchens and then came back and had a very quiet all night party," James told her.
"How dare you, James Potter? We're prefects and are not supposed to condone such behaviour. And you didn't even invite me?" She slapped James in the side, his wounded side, jokingly.
James winced and doubled over and put his hand up to his side where Lilly had hit him.
Lily's eyes widened at her boyfriend in pain and she let out a squeaky gasp. "Oh James I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."
James lifted his head up with his usual charming, joking smile. "Oh don't worry you're head off."
"You tricked me!"
James kissed Lily. "Why don't you go ahead and run along to the great hall. I want to talk to Siri and Pete for a second."
"Oh fine." Lily exited Gryffindor Tower heading for the great hall.
James placed his hand back on the spot that Lily had hit him. "That really hurt," he whispered.
Sirius wrapped his arm around James' shoulders and very concerned asked, "You going to be okay Jamie?"
James looked at Sirius smiling. "I will be if the old battle axe isn't the death of me before she becomes the old battle axe."
Sirius and James both chuckled and then the three boys exited the tower to go to the Great Hall. While walking down the hall Sirius dawned a question to James. "So when are you going to ask her?"
"I was thinking I'd wait till next year."
"Next year? Why wait so long? You could ask her now and then she could have the summer and a whole year to get all her bragging out of the way," Sirius suggested.
"Do you really think it's a wise idea?"
"With all the things going on in the world outside Hogwarts having something happy happen to leave her and you with happy thoughts for as long as possible is one of the best things you can do," Sirius explained.
James nodded. "It's decided then. I'll ask her soon. Very soon. I just hope she says yes."
"James she obviously loves you, there's no way she's going to say no," Sirius told him.
"You worry too much James," Peter said. "At least you have someone who loves you."
"Oh Pete, don't go into that again. I promise you're going to find a girl someday. I don't know when exactly but it'll happen because good things like that happen to good people like you," James said.
"Yes, of course," Peter replied and smiled his fake smile. It saddened the other marauders when he gave that smile. He just seemed never to have any hope about good things, though with the dark times in the world very few people did.
They arrived at the Great Hall to find none other than Headmaster Dumbledore with one of their Slytherin classmates, Severus Snape, standing by his side. "Mr. Black, Mr. Potter," Dumbledore said, "I need to see you both in my office."
Sirius and James exchanged glances and then looked back at Snape and the Headmaster and followed as the way to Dumbledore's office was led.

A/N: Poor Remus, I feel so sorry for him…don't worry later you get to hear the whole story of what did happen…or what happened as in my brain since this story is kinda based around something that's mentioned in the books….Hmmm what is this that James is going to ask Lily? Oh I think we know if we're smart enough. That's all for now folks but I promise I'm going to come up with more to the rest of the story as soon as possible. I believe I see a button below for reviews…would you mind pressing it and typing in some stuff about what you thought so that I might read it later? Cause that would just be grande. ^_^
