Summary: (A bit AU) Remi and Siri both dress as Prince Charming for a college costume party.

Chapter One----Sirius' PoV:

I pulled my costume out of my crammed, unorganized closet, careful to keep it out of the view of my roommate and fellow Marauder and friend, Remus J. Lupin, who was laying across his bed, completely emerged in a school text book. His bed was on a diagonal from mine, and I watched his delicate lips part as he read. His soft honey-brown hair fell sexily into his deep amber eyes that screamed "Take me! I'm yours!". I blushed at just the very thought.

Remus was indeed very attractive, although most girls prefer my wild attitude to his laid-back, down-to-earth one. I, however, happen to like the way he is. For instance, I like the way he drinks tea whenever he's stressed out. Or how he clicks his tongue at me when I do or say something he doesn't approve of. Once, he actually sighed and glared at me when I was planning some evil prank with James.

James Potter. Now there's a person Remus both loves and hates. He may be like a brother to us--we're inseparable--but he always seems jealous. I mean, who wouldn't be? Prongs is popular, athletic, and--if I might say so myself--pretty damn cute! But, our pup doesn't get jealous of James' way with the ladies, mostly of his way with me. Not that I'd ever tell my werewolf bud of my popular pal, but I'd take Remi ANY day! Remi--my own private nickname. That's just how he is, though. Secluded and solitary. He likes to be alone and he's never had a serious relationship. I'd never put two and two together before now, but I realized that werewolves mate for life. I pondered with intriguing wonder who his chosen mate was, knowing that whoever it was, that girl would be happy forever. With Moony by her side, who wouldn't be?

"Sir'? You alive in there?" My intellectual friend's voice snapped me away from my thoughts.

"Huh? Me?" I asked, stupidly.

"What other 'Sirius' do you know?" he asked sarcastically. He set down his book and sat on the edge of his bed, looking at me. I felt like he could see into my soul. "What are you thinking about?"

I stared at his lips, transfixed by his admirable grace. "What?" I asked, still hypnotized by the fluid motion of his mouth. I felt the drool dripping from my own clumsy lips.

"I said," he murmured, standing up and slinking over to my bed, leaning next to me, "What are you think about?"

"You," I mumbled, wondering what his body would feel like under mine. Realizing what I had said, I turned bright red and snapped a hand over my face.

"What?" Remus looked dumbstruck.

"Nothing." I could feel the blush creeping up my face. I quickly grabbed my outfit and ran out the door, into the sitting room, leaving a very confused werewolf behind.

I flooed to James' from the casual fireplace in out sitting room. The eldest Marauder had invited me over to his and Lily's dorm to get ready for the annual freshman Halloween party.

"Jamesy?" I called warily, not wanting to walk in on a scene between him and his girlfriend. I set down my costume on one of the chairs and called, "James! Come on! I need your help!" My tone sounded pleading, but I didn't care. I was worried about my friendship with Remus and the oncoming festivities.

The two walked into the room, hand-in-hand, faces flushed.

"Sirius! What a pleasant surprise!" Lily's cheerful voice rang.

"Surprise? James!!!" I glared at my friend's sheepish grin. "You told me she agreed to help!"

"James?" Lily looked confused. "Help? With what?"

"Um… makeup?" The only thing that kept her from bursting out in uncontrolled laughter was the serious look on my face. (A/N: No pun intended! ^______^ BISHI!)

"You want me to do your makeup, Sirius?" I nodded.

"If you don't mind."

"May I ask why?" I frowned.

"No, you may not!" It clicked how much like Remus I sounded when I said things like that. The frown dissipated and a smile returned.

James, who had been very quiet, decided NOW would be a good time to chime in, "Y'know that freshman party I was telling you about, that you said was, and I quote, 'childish and immature'?" The last part, Prongs spoke in a voice that sounded so much like his girlfriend, it caused her face to flush, before she turned to me and said,

"Of course I'll do your makeup! Looks like out little Padfoot has a date! Who are you going as?"

"Prince Charming," I mumbled, looking at a very interesting stain on their carpet.

"Oh? And who's your Cinderella?" she teased.

"I was hoping you'd accompany me!" I drawled, sarcastically. James glared at the two of us from the corner. Lily caught his eye and winked.

"Sorry, hun! Parties just aren't me!" I frowned in mock-sorrow. "Let's do your makeup!"

"First," James interjected, now content that Lily wasn't going with me (or at all for that matter!) to the party. "Costume! Wouldn't want to mess up your make-up, now would we?! Come with me, mate," he said, with a mischievous grin. I sighed and grabbed my outfit, throwing Lily one last 'Help me, please!' glances. I followed my friend up a flight of stairs, his flame-haired girlfriend close behind. 'This is going to be an interesting night,' I mused.

((A/N: Chapter 1 is complete! hehe. This story is/was/will be SOOOOOOOO much fun to write! I'm pretty much satisfied with the outcome of this, so I'll probably finish! hehe! =^.^= Please, review!
