Chapter 3
"Excuse me?" Remus stared at the headmaster in disbelief, he couldn't have heard correctly. It didn't make sense. What about Lily? The wedding? Harry? How could it be true?
Albus sighed heavily, whether from tiredness or to stall the explanation Remus wasn't entirely sure.
"The full reason for hiding their relationship is still unknown to me, I'm afraid. Sirius told me that during their fifth year they-"
"Got together?" Remus half stated, half asked incredulously. This was absurd; Sirius and Remus had never been anything more than friends, although.
Again the headmaster sighed, "Come Remus, sit with me." Walking round the bed he placed a hand on the younger mans elbow, to lead him away. However, seeing his reluctant expression at the idea of leaving James' side, Albus conjured two chintz armchairs beside the bed.
Sitting carefully perched on the very edge on the chair, Remus remained as close to the side of his supposedly dead best friend, whilst attempting to sort through his emotions. There were so many questions.
"I.they.I don't understand."
Dumbledore nodded, then began to search through his numerous robe pockets once more. After a few moments he retrieved an object from a concealed pocket located near his left knee. Wordlessly he handed the object to Remus.
The werewolf took the object and examined it. A narrow red leather case lay in his hand, resembling an old book cover, on one side it was embossed with to golden letters; an S curling around the tale of a J.
Opening it with trembling hands, two photographs stared up at him. The first was taken at their graduation, James and Sirius a=had their arms slung around each others shoulders, it was almost identical to a picture that Remus owned, except. They were gazing at each other, undisguised love shinning from their eyes. Happiness and warmth seemed to emanate from the couple.
The second was of Sirius, cradling a newborn Harry within his arms, James standing beside them, arms linked around his friend.husband Remus corrected. Once again love and happiness shone from their eyes but there was something else, pride. Pride of a Father but not only from James, Sirius as well.
He had been so proud, Remus had teased Sirius endlessly about being Harry's Godfather, the way he had treated the tiny baby, spoiling him rotten, always visiting, it was almost as if Harry was his own.
"Sirius told me that they intended to have a few children. They would find different surrogate mothers for each." Albus Dumbledore leant forward and studied the photos with the younger wizard. 'Such tragedy in life and now the lovers could not even be reunited in death.'
"Lily took both of the pictures. She and Sirius were good friends; in your fifth year she became his confidant. I believe that she knew everything. More so than James at one point. Sirius told me that if not for her he and James would have been separated, that she was protecting them. Although from what exactly he was unwilling to say."
Remus stared forward dumbly, what could he say to that? The 'all knowing' Albus Dumbledore seemed to know very little about what had occurred. There were so many questions, why had they lied to everyone, even Dumbledore? The wizarding world was accepting of homosexual relationships and he personal didn't mind, it just came as some what of a shock. And what was it that they needed protection form? Or who? Surely it had to be more than the fact they were auroras and unpopular with the less savoury characters? Even then-
A soft noise drew him from his thoughts, amber eyes met the shocked blue of the headmaster and both wizards pushed themselves up from the chairs to the bedside.
James Potter groaned once more before his eyelids fluttered slowly open.

AN- On time, woohoo! Go me!
Sorry its short but I thought this was a good place to leave it. Originally this was going to be the second half of chapter 2 but I wanted to know whether it should be just SxJ or SxJxR before I wrote this part. In regards to that after a lot of pondering and some feedback, this story will remain SxJ (Remus will just have to cope by himself *sniff* I'll have him though! ; ) )
Thank you for the reviews, next chappie will be up next Wednesday, please review and give me suggestions and comments.
In regards to ???? who flamed me, since you aren't reading this but your 'friend' is I hope that they will pass this message on. You are quite possible the most closed minded and prejudice person I have yet heard of, the fact you flamed without reading claming this story to be the worst one you have ever read (see that doesn't even work!) was quite honestly comical. As for me committing suicide over your comments you are quite frankly beneath me and you didn't even have the guts to leave your name. Just to let you know I am part of the SxJ yahoo group where there are about 250 members, each of them received an email containing that flame, hmm 250 people around the world laughing at you.
Lol. I don't mind flames, I won't go on about them like I have with this one, if you dislike my storyline, writing ability or lack thereof, spelling or that general thing, you are welcome to flame as long as you have read the story. Prejudice and homophobic comments will be laughed at and posted.
Phew, happy now! Please review.
