Hi guys sorry I haven't updated for ages! And now I'm all frustrated because my computer just deleted this whole chapter and I've had to write it all out again! Anyway, here's chapter 4, enjoy!

 *

Harry was greeted by a small "puff" of dust as the wardrobe door opened. And his worst fears were met. It was full. Full of clothes, shoes and a trunk. Full of everything Sirius, judging by the looks of it.

Harry coughed and stood up, grabbing all of the robes, shirts and trousers hanging there in one snatch. 

"Erm…what shall I do with Si…with these clothes?" Harry asked Remus over the other side of the room.

"Oh…um, just put them in here, Harry." Said Remus, handing Harry a box already half full with jumpers and socks. Harry couldn't help but notice the tremble in Remus's voice.

Harry placed the clothes into the box and sat back down on the floor again. He spotted a pair of old black shoes at the back of the wardrobe, he set them in the box with all of Sirius's clothes. He felt freezing to the bones. Harry's heart hurt.

Harry sat, staring at the bottom of the wardrobe, a there was just a trunk left. He reached out for it with shaking hands and dropped it gently on the floor in front of him and blew off the dust on the lid. It had the initials 'S.B' engraved on it, with the Hogwarts crest underneath.

Harry opened the trunk and coughed as a new cloud of dust filled the room. He looked into the trunk to find a sea of black robes, the Gryffindor lion attached to the front of them. Harry took them out and looked at what else was hidden at the bottom of the trunk. It was scattered with old photographs.

Harry had no idea Sirius was so sentimental. All the faces staring back at Harry were happy ones, each one laughing or smiling. And he recognised each face. Harry was looking down at the younger versions of Sirius, Remus, Peter Pettigrew and…his father. He had seen pictures of James Potter before, but it didn't stop Harry from being surprised as he stared down at his father's face.

Harry looked at each picture, keeping the pile in his hand as he went so that he would find anything underneath all of them. It was all pictures of the Marauders.

He picked up one last picture (Sirius as the huge black dog) and looked back down into the trunk. To Harry's surprise his eyes fell upon a small rectangle mirror. A two-way mirror that looked very familiar.

Harry let out a huge sniff without realising that Remus was standing right behind him.

"You've found his old school trunk!" Said Remus, sitting on the floor next to Harry as Harry hastily wiped his face dry.  "I wondered what he did with that…Oh and there's his two way mirror." He picked up the mirror in the bottom of the trunk "He and your dad used to use this for detentions." Said Remus reminiscently

"Yeah, Sirius told me they used to do that." Replied Harry.

"Hmmm…I wonder what happened to the other one…" Remus wondered out loud.

"Erm…he gave it to me." Admitted Harry "At Christmas. He told me to use it if Snape got to me."

"Oh, that does seem like the sort of thing that Sirius would've done."

"I never used it though." Harry told him "I told myself that I would never use it if it meant Sirius rushing up to Hogwarts or something."

"Yeah I could imagine him rushing up to Hogwarts if anything ever bothered you. You saw what he was like when you told him that you had finished Occlumency with Snape."

"Exactly." Said Harry "I wasn't going to be the reason for him going back to Azkaban again."

Remus didn't say anything, but nodded and took the bunch of photographs from Harry to look at them.

"We used to take pictures all the time while we were at school." Remus said finally "We had hundreds of them, we shared them out between each other at the end of our seventh year. You should have seen our dormitory, it was plastered with loads of pictures."

"You all look really happy in them."

"We were happy. You know the saying 'Your schooldays are the best days of your life'?"

"Yeah."

"Well whoever said that was spot on. I've never had as much fun as I had at Hogwarts."

"Its sort of sad though…" Said Harry "when you were this age you would have never have guessed what the future was holding for you."

"It's true." Said Remus, nodding "But that's what the pictures are for, to look back on happy times. They're not meant to be sad, they are happy memories, reminding us of our past, which was very, very happy."

"Yeah, I guess it is."

Harry felt a sudden sense of deep, deep sympathy for Remus as he looked at these pictures. All four of the Marauders were best friends, and now there was only one Marauder left, Remus. One was now an enemy, another was dead and the third followed in his footsteps and died fourteen years later.

Harry turned to look round at Remus. "I can't even imagine what you've gone through Remus. All of your friends from Hogwarts are…gone."

Remus smiled sadly "I know. And it has literally torn me apart to see what has happened to my friends." His voice was breaking, Harry looked away "But as much as it hurts me to think that everything can't be back to the way it used to be, I have to carry on with my life." Remus looked at the floor and gulped.

Harry didn't know what to say. His heart was aching so much. He started packing Sirius's robes back into the trunk.

"But my life's different now." Said Remus suddenly "I have other people in my life. There's the Weasleys, Dumbledore, you. Everyone has been very good to me, and you have all become my (rather large) extended family in ways."

Harry placed the mirror back into the trunk and went to put the photos into it as Remus gave them to Harry, but Remus stopped him.

"Take them Harry, I'm sure Sirius would like you to have them."

"Don't you want them Remus?" Asked Harry.

"Oh no, I've got my own set. Go on, have them."
