Warning: This story does have yaoi in it and if you don't like seeing two
males make love don't read it. Fair enough warning. (Not so important) this
is a-what-if story and my own crazy twist on OotP the 5th book. It's a very
crazy twist.
AN: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters that reside within the book. They belong to J. K. Rowling. I only have fun with them. Oh and thanx to Phe Phe Minoda I'm glad you reviewed and liked it so here is the 4th chappie and their will be more if its liked.

SWEET CONTROL
Remus sat idly in a green field in a place he didn't seem to recognize, a place seemingly devoid of any other human life. He looked around and was almost blinded by the sheer intensity of the bright sun above him. In fact the flaming orb was so powerfully vibrant that it gave is surroundings an off white colour. Remus stood up slowly and turned in all directions for he was starting to get apprehensive about the lack of life in this grassy field. Where were his friends and his lover, "SIRIUS? SIRIUS.. ANYONE! WHERE IS EVERYONE?" he shouted desperately. No one was coming, no one answered his calls and for a once he actually felt truly alone.
Remus was about to call out again but the ground started quaking beneath him, slowly at first then fiercely. Remus lost his balance and fell to the ground with a yelp of pain. He pushed himself up onto his hands and watched as the ground started to crack beside his prone body. His golden hazel eyes widened in fear as cold distant laughter flitted by his ears. The laughing chilled him to the bone and beyond.
The earth beneath the frightened werewolf's body gave a violent shudder and the crack that was beside him split wide open. The once bright, clear sky soon became dark and clouded and every vivacious colour in the field turned to a cold charcoal grey and black. The earth shook once more sending the werewolf tumbling backward as the ledge near the fissure rose upward on a sharp angle. Remus cried out as he landed on his stomach and he lifted his head sharply to stare at the ever-widening gap.
Ice-cold air filled his lungs and he let out a horrified scream as a giant, gnarled, white hand rose from the gaping crack. Remus could hear the laughter in his head getting louder as the hand rose high above his body. Remus jerked to his feet and started backing away. The hand swayed like a drunken man and the frigid laughter only got louder. The hand suddenly ceased all movement like it had eyes and spotted Remus on the ground.
Remus could smell his own fear and felt cold sweat roll down his face as he backed away from the clammy looking hand. Like lightening the hand came down at him and Remus barely fell out of its snapping fingers reach. Remus gave a cry of fear as he hurtled his body away from it. 'You can't escape the inevitable.' A chilling voice hissed from a nonexistent entity and Remus could feel his body shaking.
The werewolf scrambled to his feet and turned to run but he couldn't go anywhere for he couldn't move and inch. He gave a slight cry and looked down at his body and jerked wildly. Black wispy cords had wound their way around his lithe body and held him firmly in place. He cried out into the dark screaming for Sirius for anyone to save him from this horrible apparition. Tears spilled down his cheek and he screamed again as the cords tightened around him. 'Scream all you want but you can deny this you are a creature of the dark as well. Just give in." the bodiless voice called to Remus trying to coax him.
"NO! PLEASE SOMEONE ANYONE HELP ME!" he shrieked and thrashed about trying helplessly to escape from his black bindings. 'You will belong to me werewolf whether or not you like it.' The voice laughed coldly and Remus' eyes widened in fright as the hand leant forward and slowly waved back and forth. What looked like black mist appeared and descended towards him. 'You will be mine.'
Remus let out a heart-wrenching scream and jolted as the freezing black mist enveloped his body. It pushed its way through his flesh and made a bitter cold trail toward his heart, soul and mind. "NO! NOOOOO OH GODS SOMEONE HEELLLPP1"
"Remus? Remus! Please wake up Remus. Its alright I'm here love." A gentle, deep voice was heard in the back of Remus' subconscious mind. And pressure was felt on his shoulder and around his body was welcoming warmth. He let out a horrified scream as his eyes burst open. Remus Lupin laid enfolded in Sirius warm, strong arms in Sirius' bed back at Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Remus!" Sirius sounded relieved and Remus shook terribly in his gentle lovers arms. He brought his quaking hands to his pale and sweaty face and cried into them. Sirius was worried about his lover for Remus had started calling out to him and he had thrashed and whipped around on their bed tangling himself in the sheets. Sirius had tried desperately to wake the werewolf fearing the worst.
Remus had yelled for help numerous times and seemed to be fighting an enemy that only he could see. Sirius somehow got through the frightened fog of Remus' mind and the werewolf had woken suddenly and now he was a mess of tears and shaking flesh.
"Sssssshh Remus I'm here now don't worry your safe now." He whispered and looked at the clock. It was almost time for everyone else to wake up and head off for Hogwarts or their own homes. Sirius wouldn't be surprised if Remus had woken the whole house. Remus himself shook and cried into Sirius' chest and clutched at him for dear life. "Moony, honey it will be okay you just had a nightmare." He cooed and rubbed the frightened creatures back gently. "Not a nightmare. too real..so cold.... premonition... what's to come..." Sirius could barely make out what his startled lover was saying for he only caught every second word.
"Sssshh Remus its all over now." And he rocked Remus back and forth. Sirius would wait to ask him about the nightmare until he was of sound mind again.
Sirius had spent the next two hours calming the werewolf down and getting him to relax by massaging his back, which always worked in bringing Remus out of any trance like state and this time was no different.
Remus was relaxed but Sirius still didn't dare to bring up the nightmare for fear of upsetting his delicate lover again. By now they could hear the other moving about getting breakfast ready and their belongs as well. Sirius had to get Remus around the others so he wouldn't lapse back into his trance. "Come Remus lets go down for breakfast and chat it up with the others." Remus only nodded and followed as Sirius took his hand and led him to the stairs and down into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen Remus reverted to his old self and began to talk to Bill. Sirius gave a sigh of relief and went over to Harry. Harry looked up at him and the smiled he had on his face vanished when he saw the look on his godfathers face. "Sirius what's wrong?" he asked in that tone of voice that said Sirius had no choice of answering or not.
Sirius sighed and motioned for Harry to follow him out of the kitchen. Harry followed wordlessly and Ron and Hermione, seeing their friend leaving, decided to tag along to see what was up. Sirius walked into an empty room and waited as the others entered and then he shut the door.
"Okay Sirius what's wrong?" Harry demanded and Sirius sighed hoarsely. "You really have no need to know Harry but I can't keep it from you even if I tried. Its Remus, he was screaming and calling for help in his sleep. He was thrashing around so hard I thought he was going to hurt himself. Something upset him badly. He woke up screaming and cried for two hours mumbling nonsense." Sirius gasped out and dropped down onto a chair with his face in his hands.
"But he looks fine now." Harry added and Sirius nodded slowly, "That's only because I brought him downstairs where everyone else is and I know him well enough that he will act normal so no one else will know what happened to him. I needed a breather for a while so I could figure out how to help him."
Harry looked at his friends and they only shrugged then he looked back at his distraught godfather. "Don't worry too much about it Sirius I'm sure it was just a bad dream." Harry offered and Sirius looked at him like he was mad. "No. I'm sure there is more to that dream than we think.. you see Harry... We... I wanted to go outside for a run and I wanted Remus to come with me... But things went terribly wrong. I. I didn't know.. I swear if I did know I wouldn't have gone outside." Sirius choked out.
"You went outside! Sirius you aren't suppose to go outside! Dumbledore said.." But Sirius cut Hermione off, "I know what I'm suppose to do and not suppose to do Hermione. But Padfoot wanted a stretch and Moony had been cooped up for far to long as well." He gasped out and Harry nodded, "I understand the need to do that Sirius I really do. But what went terribly wrong?"
Sirius took a deep breath and started, "We went to a field and we both transformed," he ignored the strange looks and would tell them about Remus being able to change whenever he wanted later, "and we romped around for a while and then Moony heard something. He's a werewolf he can pick up on these tings easier than I can even as Padfoot. Turned out to be Death Eaters. They surrounded us and tried to separate us. They wanted Moony and they hurt him badly, well that little shit Wormtail tried did anyway with a silver hand. We ran for it and they chased us, we hid in a bunch of bushes and Moony decided to carry me back to town seeing as how he is more nimble and fast. I listened but it still hurt him and they caught up. They hurt him so badly that I could even hear screams come from the werewolf. We got into town but not without Moony suffering more damage and we hid again. We were nearer to the house then and decided to make a break for it. We had one more small scuffle and finally got here."
Sirius had decided to omit certain parts of the story, as the look on the children's faces was one of pure horror already. Sirius could not tell them about the band that had caused Moony to give in so easily and about what his cousin, Bellatrix did too him.
"You shouldn't have gone out Sirius." Harry said and looked at his godfather with worry in his eyes. "Is Professor Lupin going to be okay?" Sirius looked at Ron and then at the ground. "I don't know Ron. Silver hurts a werewolf especially when they are as a werewolf, it can even kill them if they are in contact with it for too long. He has suffered too much and I don't know how his body will cope with the stress and fear and pain." He whimpered and Harry hugged him.
"I suggest he stays here and that you go to Professor Dumbledore as soon as possible." Hermione said tersely. Sirius looked at them all and scowled "Please I would rather you called him Remus, he is not you DADA professor anymore. Plus he would like it that way as well. I will talked to Dumbledore when Remus gets better... what?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Harry was smiling at him and shook his head, "Why do you care what we call him Sirius. I mean you never got up at arms before about us calling him Professor Lupin? Is there something you're hiding from us." He chirped and the other began to poke Sirius in his sides. Sirius whimpered and sighed helplessly "Please don't hate me or Remus Harry but he's my lover." He said shortly and looked at the ground.
"Sirius for how long?" Harry replied and Sirius looked up to see smiled on all their faces. "Since before you were ever thought to be born Harry. I fell in love with Remus in our 4th year. He was so gentle and giving and he suffered far too much to have to be alone through it all. I told James about it and he. well he laughed at me and told me I was an idiot for not telling Remus I liked him sooner. Your father supported me and the relationship I wanted and it turned out Moony had already chosen Padfoot as his mate and Remus had loved me as well. I found out he loved me back after my first transformation into Padfoot and our first romp together as a whole pack of mixed up animals. Apparently James would have blackmailed the poor creature if he didn't come and tell me about his feelings. James was always like that. He was the one who forced us together. not that it was a bad thing mind you. After your father and mother were killed and I was accused and taken away Remus and I drifted apart. I started to think he was the traitor and the one who killed James and Lily and he thought likewise. After I escaped and when I took Ron and you guys followed me like I thought you would and when Remus showed up I thought I was going to die. It felt so good to straighten things out and felt even better when he hugged me. After that we drifted apart for another year but when that shit happened in the Tri-Wizards tournament I was sent to lay low at Remus' house. We rekindled everything and became lovers again. Ever since then we have stayed true to each other and supported one another."
"Wow Sirius." Was all Harry could say and the others nodded. "Do you accept us Harry?" Sirius asked hopefully. "Are you kidding me? Sirius I don't care what gender you prefer. I think it's cute. Are you and profess. I mean Remus ever going to tie the knot?" Harry asked excitedly and Sirius almost face faulted into the rug. "Slow down Harry we haven't been together long enough to do that!"
"Oh yes you have. You were going out when you were in school. You know each other inside and out." (No pun intended) Harry laughed happily and Sirius shook his head frantically, "We may have been going out but that was a long time ago and we need time to adjust." He cried out and the 3 preteens laughed at Sirius' distress.
"Harry is right Sirius you are obviously madly in love with.. Remus so I think you should propose to him and then you can invite us to the wedding." Hermione said happily. Sirius passed in his mindless ranting and looked at the 3 faces. They were all smiling knowingly and Sirius couldn't help but smiled foxily back at them. "I'll think about it." Was all he said as he stood and walked to the door and walked out the room.
Harry and the others smiled and followed after him.
When Sirius was back in the kitchen he noticed that Remus was missing and he panicked slightly and went over to Bill for Remus had been talking to him when he had left the Room with Harry. "Where's Remus?" he asked as calmly as possible and Bill smiled at him, "He told me he was feeling a tad tired and decided he wanted to go back to bed but he told me to tell you to eat something and bring him back some toast." Sirius relaxed a little and grabbed two plated and put as much food on them as possible and took off upstairs with the whole occupants of the kitchen giving him catcalls all the way to the stairs. "I guess everyone knows now." And he ran up the stairs to find his pretty lover.
He heard water running and went to walk past his room to the bathroom when he heard the running water was coming from the private bathroom within his room. He smiled and went into his room setting the food down onto a desk and glided over to the bathroom door. "I know you're there Padfoot." Came the misty soft voice of his sweet lover and he sighed and opened the door. "Your hearing was always acute after transformations." He said jokingly and Remus smiled.
"How are you feeling love?" Sirius asked and Remus looked up at him his eyes a golden honey colour. "I'm feeling better Siri. I still ache from the attacks last night though." And by that time Sirius had stripped his clothing off and was joining Remus in the nice warm water. "Remus are you truly okay. I mean from your nightmare?" and he could see the fear dancing in his eyes. "Remus you know I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you. You don't have to tell me about it until your ready." Sirius said gently and hugged Remus close to his wet body.
Remus sighed, "I know love." And he hugged him back. They spent the next half an hour cleaning themselves and playing in the water. After they got out Sirius wrapped Remus in a soft warm bathrobe and then himself as well. They sat down and ate what Sirius had brought them up from the kitchen and then laid down on the bed in comfortable silence. It was noon when they decided to get up and get dressed to go down and spend some time with the others before they left.
When they got downstairs they saw that everything was ready to go and so were everyone else. "You're leaving early?" Remus asked and Madeye Moody looked at him, "Get ready to go Lupin we are on guard." Sirius felt his heart drop. Remus had to take Harry and the others back to Hogwarts. This put Remus in danger going there and most definitely coming back to Grimmauld Place. Sirius was about to say something when Remus cut in, "I go get ready then." And he turned and walked back upstairs. Sirius glared at Madeye and ran after him.
Sirius ran into his room and saw Remus pulling on a sweater and his cloak and putting his wand inside a breast pocket. "Remus you don't have to go. Someone else can. If you go out there they will get you and we don't know what they want. Remus please I can't loose you again." Remus turned to his distraught lover and Sirius saw he to held fear in his eyes. "I know Padfoot but I have a duty to fulfill and I promise I will come back unharmed. I promise." Sirius rushed to him and pulled him into a fierce hug. He leant down and captured the shaking werewolf's soft lips in his own in a gentle, soothing kiss. That kiss meant the world to them both and a seal of their promise.
Remus pulled away and walked out the door with Sirius right behind him.
Once downstairs Remus grabbed his broom and went to stand with the others, "Shall we be off." Tonks chirped and they opened the door and began to file outside. The werewolf reluctantly stepped outside and slowly walked to the sidewalk with the others and when he glanced back he saw the fear in his lover's eyes as the door shut and the house disappeared. 'I made a promise to him and I intend to keep it.' Remus thought and mounted his broom and took up the formation along with the rest of the guard.
"The werewolf has shown himself again." Came a cold hissing voice, "Go now and bring him to me or else its your heads to pay."

After they got out Sirius wrapped Remus in a soft warm bathrobe and then himself as well. They sat down and ate what Sirius had brought them up from the kitchen and then laid down on the bed in comfortable silence. It was noon when they decided to get up and get dressed to go down and spend some time with the others before they left.
When they got downstairs they saw that everything was ready to go and so were everyone else. "You're leaving early?" Remus asked and Madeye Moody looked at him, "Get ready to go Lupin we are on guard." Sirius felt his heart drop. Remus had to take Harry and the others back to Hogwarts. This put Remus in danger going there and most definitely coming back to Grimmauld Place. Sirius was about to say something when Remus cut in, "I go get ready then." And he turned and walked back upstairs. Sirius glared at Madeye and ran after him.
Sirius ran into his room and saw Remus pulling on a sweater and his cloak and putting his wand inside a breast pocket. "Remus you don't have to go. Someone else can. If you go out there they will get you and we don't know what they want. Remus please I can't loose you again." Remus turned to his distraught lover and Sirius saw he to held fear in his eyes. "I know Padfoot but I have a duty to fulfill and I promise I will come back unharmed. I promise." Sirius rushed to him and pulled him into a fierce hug. He leant down and captured the shaking werewolf's soft lips in his own in a gentle, soothing kiss. That kiss meant the world to them both and a seal of their promise.
Remus pulled away and walked out the door with Sirius right behind him.
Once downstairs Remus grabbed his broom and went to stand with the others, "Shall we be off." Tonks chirped and they opened the door and began to file outside. The werewolf reluctantly stepped outside and slowly walked to the sidewalk with the others and when he glanced back he saw the fear in his lover's eyes as the door shut and the house disappeared. 'I made a promise to him and I intend to keep it.' Remus thought and mounted his broom and took up the formation along with the rest of the guard.
"The werewolf has shown himself again." Came a cold hissing voice, "Go now and bring him to me or else its your heads to pay."
AN: there will be more if I get reviews and what not. Hope you all like it so far?
