Hello again everyone!! Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your fabulous reviews!!! XD! I loved them and I can't thank you all enough! I'm so happy that this fic was a success cuz I was extremely nervous to even write this in the first place and now I'm glad I did....Hopefully this fic will stay as popular as it is and I'll actually get to finish this one.... ( I have a problem with getting new ideas for new fics in the middle of fics that I'm writing) ----Did that make any sense to you? o_o;;
Well, since I am having a bit of fun writing and vote-wise it did win, I will be writing probably an extra-chapter or two for this fic starting with this chapter. At first I wasn't even planning this, but then the idea just struck me! Yay! I most-likely would've written the extra-chappies even if you all really wanted option 2 anyway.....
This chapter I wanted to thank the new reviewers! So....thank you! The Notorious Naurwen, SP-in-Sirius-Denial, Sayra Louise, Penguin Shiro, The Demonic Duo, eccentric mind......I think that's all of them....well, there was one other review, but it was left blank....hm.....whoever that was! Thank you too! ^_^
In this chapter, I think you've all been anticipating this---(please note the sarcasm)....The Return of Peter!! **trumpets blare and crowds cheer** ....Oh yay! I'm soooooo excited! -_-;; -----note the excited face!! XD
Ok, now I think I should be getting on to the story. I can't really guarantee that this'll be any longer than the rest. I was thinking that maybe this'll be the breakfast chapter and then I'll write 2 more chapters, one in Sirius' POV and one in Remus' POV, but we'll see what develops (cuz I write as I go...)
So, here it goes...... now get to reading......seriously, or should I say Siriusly? LOL.... XD..... go read, before it gets cold........------please ignore my stupid-ness.....v_v;;
AN: You guys all remember when I said I have an undying hate towards Peter Pettigrew, well......so does Sirius, but it's not really a hate, he just dislikes him...well, you'll see what I mean in this chapter. And if you actually like the filthy traitor *mumbles "Why couldn't she kill him off instead?"* then I apologize....... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Nothing More- part 3
Sirius watched as Remus ran off and turn into the great hall. He sighed as the boy disappeared from view and then he turned and slowly proceeded in following him.
"Why would you be sorry Remus?" He mumbled to himself, "I know it might not seem like it, but I'm not sorry for anything that happened today......"
He entered the huge room and was blasted by the sound of the four houses gathering for breakfast. He scanned the room to see if he could find the prefect he searched for, but to no avail. Sirius sighed in defeat until he heard a boy practically screaming his name,
"Sirius! Sirius!"
"What in bloody hell?......." Sirius said as he turned back to look into the now semi-crowded corridor. He could barely pick out who was yelling his name, until a boy whose arm was barely half-way in his robes stopped just in time to avoid crashing into the massive door of the hall.
"Si...ri...us...." The boy panted as he finally pulled his arm through the sleeve.
Sirius crossed him arms and shook his head disapprovingly, "What do you want Wormtail?"
Peter grabbed Sirius' shoulder to brace himself so he could take deeper breaths. He grabbed his chest and coughed a little. Sirius almost started laughing.
"You can't really be that out of shape Peter, it's almost ridiculous......"
Peter glared as he regained his posture and finally delivered his message, "Prongs said he'd meet you guys under the beech tree at the lake after breakfast......"
"Really? What about I wonder......"
"He said something about the trip to Hogsmeade next weekend."
"Oh yeah! We have something excellent planned, just you wait Wormtail." Sirius seemed to grin evilly at the thought, "You truly do get a work of art when you mix mine and Prongs' brilliant schemes with Moony's quick thinking mind...."
Peter frowned at first, "How come I never get to be a part of these plans? I can come up with schemes too!"
"You are a part of these plans Wormtail, you're our decoy..." He smiled, " And about schemes you come up with. You mean like that one time?" Sirius gave a 'look' at Peter, "When we hexed Mrs. Norris so her fur kept changing to the different colors of the rainbow and Filch nearly had a heartattack?"
"Yea," Peter sighed proudly, "That was a stroke of pure genius if I do say so myself...."
"That was child's play Wormtail."
"What? How could you say that Padfoot? We laughed for days...."
"Because it was funny.....then...."
"But Padfoot, the three of you even told me that it was a stroke of pure genius!"
Sirius began to feel him getting on his last nerve. He usually had a high tolerance for pests, but Peter was a different story. Sirius just didn't really know what it was about him, but he just didn't like him. Sirius' didn't even like it when he was called 'Padfoot' by him. He was a marauder and all, but in Sirius' mind he was allowed in their group out of pity....
"That was in our second year you twit! We were immature little children back then, and DON'T CALL ME PADFOOT!"
"But...."
"That is an affectionate nickname reserved for Remus' and James' use ONLY!"
"But...."
"Don't but me! To you my name is Sirius, not Padfoot! Get it? Got it? Good....."
"I knew it!" Peter pointed an accusing finger at Sirius, "You've always disliked me haven't you?!"
The two boys started to argue in the entrance to the great hall. People started to look at the two Marauders who were now in a full-fledged quarrel.
"Well, it took you long enough to figure that one out!" Sirius bellowed back.
"No wonder you've always given me that look, it's because you hate me!"
"I don't hate you! You're just not very high on the 'people I like' list!"
"Oh yeah! That makes it sound twenty times better!" Peter began mocking in a bad imitation of Sirius' voice as he made it look like his hands were talking, " You're just not very high on my 'people I like' list...."
"Oh shut it!" Sirius replied.
"Make me!" Peter snapped back.
"You really want me to?" Sirius pulled out his wand threateningly, "I can, just say the word!"
"Oh! I'm so scared!" Peter said in return as he too pulled out his wand.
People were already beginning to crowd around. Even though there was nothing physical going on yet you could hear many students mumbling, "I'm putting my money on Black!"
Suddenly the two boys heard a familiar voice, "Ok, ok, break it up.....There's nothing to see here. C'mon move it...." The crowd receded and showed an amber-eyed prefect with a very disappointed look on his face.
"Of all the people in this blasted castle," Remus said as he approached the two who were now putting their wands away, "I didn't expect you two to start such a ruckus....."
Peter averted his glare from Sirius to Remus, "Did you know how he really felt about me?"
"You mean that he really doesn't like you at all?....." Remus half-way laughed at this, "Well, yes..."
Obviously this wasn't funny at all to Peter. "Then why? Why did you let me join your group and become a Marauder?"
Sirius spoke the answer to this question, "Well, that was James' idea, one of the few I didn't agree with, but I couldn't stop him. He insisted that he saw something good in you......I still don't know what he was talking about though....."
"Humph, well, I guess I'll just be going for now then. I do know when I'm not wanted." He gave a nasty look to Sirius as he entered the Great Hall, "Oh, but one more thing, Moony, or should I say Remus, James is going to meet you under the beech tree after breakfast. Don't expect me to be there though......" He snorted as he disappeared into the mass of students walking in for breakfast.
Both the prefect and the dark-haired boy watched him vanish in the crowd before they both looked at each other and then Remus turned to walk away....
"Moony...I wanted to talk..."
"I can't now, I have morning corridor duty today...."
"Well, aren't you going to eat anything?"
"I did, while you were having your little argument with Wormtail..."
"So you sat there and watched us argue?"
"Well, yeah, until I noticed the professors starting to come in. I thought I should stop the fight before you did something stupid and then you'd be in serious trouble...."
Sirius laughed a little... "Thanks...So, I guess I'll be seeing you under the beech tree later?"
Remus smiled and waved as he took off, "Yep, of course....Once a Marauder, always a Marauder...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus was approaching the meeting place and noticed Sirius sitting with his back against the tree' trunk. James was standing and moving his hands about while his mouth jabbered madly, most likely explaining what had happened at practice that morning. He got closer until he could hear James' excited voice saying,
"And then this bludger went totally berserk and hit Mark smack dab like this!" Sirius laughed as James took his hand slapped his own face, "I could swear he probably lost at least 3 teeth!"
"The violence James...." Remus muttered, announcing his arrival.
"Oh there you are Moony!" James said and Sirius moved his head from against the tree to bring Remus into view, "Do you know where Wormtail is? I mean, I know he's usually late, but not later than your corridor duty."
Remus eyed Sirius and when he looked away Remus instantly knew that Sirius hadn't told him yet.
"I'll be right back you two..." James ran off, "Don't go anywhere!!"
Remus watched the Quidditch player run off for the member he knew most likely wouldn't show up. He took a seat next to Sirius,
"You didn't tell him?"
Sirius pulled his knees up to his chest and replied,
"No, I couldn't do it Moony..."
Remus sighed as he gave his friend a slightly loving gaze, "Well, I'll do it for you if you can't alright?"
"Really?!"
"Yes, of course...What are friends for right?" Remus smiled. Sirius returned the smile.
"You're such a great friend Moony. I don't know what I'd do without you....."
Remus blushed again. Why'd he get this feeling of butterflies in his stomach when he said that? He had to regain his composure. He took a mental deep breath and replied sarcastically,
"You'd probably fail most of your classes since you copy off of me...."
Sirius replied with a playful glare. He poked Remus in the ribs and asked,
"Have you ever thought about that Remus?"
"Huh?" He stopped smiling since Sirius' mood had changed, "What do you mean?"
"What our lives would be like without each other? I mean, I think about it all the time...."
"You do? How odd, you don't think about your studies yet you think about a silly question like that..."
Sirius stood up in defense, "It's not a silly question Remus, I mean I really want you to think about it..."
"Well," Remus tried to recall his life before he met up with James, Sirius, and Peter, " I guess I can't really imagine life without the Marauders...."
Sirius shook his head, "No, no, no. Not life without the Marauders, Moony..." He knelt down in front of Remus, "I just meant life without me... How would your life be different without me in it?..." Sirius slowly started leaning towards Remus.
Remus' eyes grew wider and wider, before they started to close when he could feel Sirius' breath on his lips. 'Why do I want this?' Remus asked himself. 'Is this really wrong?' 'How would my life be without him?' Sirius then pushed forward and captured Remus' lips again...
Remus then thought to himself, "Life without him would be........incomplete."

Ok, ok....I know, I have a habit with having them kiss once every chapter....I'm sorry, I like making them kiss....But they most likely won't kiss next chapter, but we'll see. Yes, and I am sorry that this didn't end up any longer than my other chappies, I dunno, just between 1,200 and 1,800 words per chapter is my average ok?! I can't help it, it's habit...v_v
Well, this chapter would've been longer actually, but my Dad is kicking me off the comp cuz it's 12:40 am and I have to wake up early....-_-;; So, this is all for now! Hope you liked it! Maybe I'll be able to get one more chapter up before school starts (next Tuesday for me!! ;_; )....Just pray everyone, or review, whichever one is easier for you (I'm hoping you choose review! XD ) LOL, I'm such a dork that it's sad...v_v Oh well!
Until next time!!
