Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

A/N: I just like salvagers... I don't know much about anything of it... I just felt it would be cool and pretty fun to write. At least I'm trying.

Summary: This is a non-magick story where Sirius and James are salvagers, Remus is an oceanographer along for the ride, Peter is a mechanic and technology repairer, and Lily is just tagging along on some voyages. This is a SLASH story between Sirius and Remus. (You have been warned.) I hope you don't mind my spelling errors and my lack of knowledge on the concepts of salvaging, and oceanography. (And boats.) I just wrote it for fun... I hope you enjoy it anyways... No need to be technical! Just use your imagination!

Sirius Black was a very well-known salvager. He was handsome, standing rather tall with long, jetty hair and blue eyes. Perfect for the ocean, his mother said fondly when he first started this obsession. Indeed, it was not a profession for him... just an enjoyable past time with his friend James Potter. He literally lived as nothing but a salvager...only comming back home when there was nothing to salvage or explore. He had no one to come home too. His parents passed away a month after he started his first trip, and he didn't have a boyfriend...yes a boyfriend... to come home to, or bring with.

Sighing, he finally caught sight of his friend, who was running a hand through his messy black hair. James was probably only an inch or two shorter then Sirius and had brilliant brown eyes that were hidden behind thick rounded glasses. Sirius smiled as he came over with a packet under his arm.

"So James, I take it we have another mission on The Marauder?" Sirius asked. The Marauder was the name of the tugboat they had restored and put to use. It suited them just fine. They were Marauders. Crew of the master Marauder, their prided ship.

"Yeah, this one isn't all too exciting... just a quick in and out. They already know what's there and just want us to retrieve a few things." He handed over the packet. "They gave us a list and a few photos."

Looking over the list and photographs, Sirius nodded.

"Okay, so... is our darling Lily coming along?" He asked, putting everything away carefully.

James grinned.

"Yes, she's just talking with Pete right now." He cast a glance over his shoulder, still grinning. "Now all we have to do is restock the food supply, replace a couple tools and buy a new air hose...."

Sirius blinked.

"The air hose? What's wrong with it?"

Pushing the glasses back up his nose, James frowned.

"After you put your equipment away, the hose somehow got ripped and we can't patch it. We tried and it's a bit dodgy. It's certainly not safe for another dive... and I'm not letting you risk it."

Sirius nodded.

"Okay, lets go get our stuff and go! I want out of here!"

They laughed and headed for Lily's car.

"Yeah, you want out because you have some sort of loving affair with the sea." James commented sarcastically.

Snorting, Sirius replied.

"You're just jealous that liquid nature loves me more!"

"Interesting...."

Snickering, they drove off to the nearest supply store, returning to the dock an hour later. Getting out of the car, they took the crates and containers over to The Marauder and boarded it on.

"About time you two! I was worried you didn't want to go." Lily said smiling, flicking her beautiful red hair over her shoulder.

Placing down the crate he was holding, Sirius turned to Lily with a look of horror on his face.

"Why Lily! I'm shocked you'd even suggest something like that!" Grabbing his chest, where his heart would be if it were on the outside he closed his eyes, swaying dramatically. "You wound me, Lily... you really do."

Giggling she glided over to him and hugged him briefly, kissing on the cheek as she did so.

"I'm still surprised you haven't found anyone." She winked. "You're adorable and charming."

James hopped in and placed a casual arm around her waist.

"I can supply a few reasons why he's single...." He said grinning evilly. "One, for example, is that he's never on land where others are...two... he's gay and there just aren't enough gay guys in the first place... so....OW!"

Lily smacked James on the arm. Hard.

"Leave Sirius alone! You're so cruel..." She said, green eyes flashing. "Now, I want you two to hurry up and prepare to go!" Lily smiled.

Whistling, Sirius turned.

"I like her spirit, James. Too bad she doesn't want to salvage... I'd let her be my partner instead." He said, unloading the containers. "She at least appreciates the ocean and waters."

James chuckled.

"I do too! I'm just not obsessed with it like you are!" He said, placing the packet from an open box into a cabinet on the wall.

"Aah! but obsession makes it worth it!" Sirius countered. "It's an addiction, risky and hard to quit."

Peter clunked onto the boat, his blonde hair soaked and matted to his forehead and into his aqua eyes.

"Sorry about the disapperance... I had to get a shower after I checked a few things. Frank decided to dump oil on me... ask Lil. It was horrible." He said smiling as he pulled the once again mentioned packet out of the cabinet. Looking through it he smiled. "Only a quick one? What's the fun in that?"

Sirius laughed.

"There's always room for fun, thrill and danger! You just have to look in the right places!" He announced.

Nodding, James agreed and dropped a tank onto his foot. Cursing he picked it up and placed it away.

"WHOA Jamsie! LANGUAGE! We have a child present." He winked and ruffled Peter's hair. Being as he was the shortest one, he was often kidded to be a child.

"Shut up." The blonde squeaked pathetically and checked through their suits. "Did you get a replacment hose for your air tank?" He asked Sirius.

"Yeah, it's in the brown box right there." Sirius answered. "We even bought an extra, just in case."

"Okay, good."

Peter grabbed the box and carried it into the cabin and stored it all away for the time being. Coming back out he looked around.

"I'll replace the hose later... got everything?"

"Yeah." James said clibing the latter to the captains cabin and started the boat up. Sirius unhooked the boat's ropes off of the dock and placed them onto the deck. "Got them all?" James asked.

"Yeah!" Sirius said and rolled the ropes up, placing them on a hook in the bunk cabin.

Stearing the boat away from the docks, James accelerated a bit and cleared way away from the area.
