Now without further ado: Third Year
Hey Remy pal,
How's your summer going so far? Loving mine. This French girl came down for the summer to visit my parents. Hee... I think you can figure it out from there; after all I am Sirius Black. James of course, asked Lily out again by owl. She told him no again. Poor bloke, he's really head over heels for her. She hates his guts. Think she may like our favorite ickly Slytherin, Snivellus. Dunno, but there have been rumors all during last year. Write me back soon pal.
-S.B.
Dear Sirius,
My summer is going quite well so far. I'm very glad that I'll be able to correspond with you, James, and Peter this year of course. Of course I can figure out what happened with the French girl. You are Sirius Black after all. So who's the girl of the week this time? And yes, that would be a definite poor James, I can't see Lily Evans ever going out with him, don't tell him I said that though. But who knows, maybe miracles happen.
-Remus J. Lupin
Remy,
What's with the Remus J. Lupin stuff? I know exactly who you are. Anyway, the girl of the week.... Wasn't a girl. Mum wasn't happy at all. She nearly spat nails when she caught him and me in a snog session. I'm grounded for two weeks now anyway, but luckily she doesn't know your owl is still coming for letters. Bloody brilliant bird, your owl. Now that I'm living off your letters you better send them twice as often, Mr. Remus J. Lupin.
-S.B.
A GUY!?
-Remus J. Lupin
Remy,
Remember to breath Remy, breath.
-S.B.
Sirius,
Sorry to be rude, but that definitely caught me by surprise. So the great Sirius Black is gay? Perfectly fine of course, but definitely a little shocking, especially knowing your great love of the female population. I bet half the ladies at Hogwarts have had their hearts crushed by this situation.
-Remus
Remy,
Hey, don't worry about it. Surprised me a bit too. But never fear ladies, I'm only bi, not gay. And only half of the female population? I think it would be at least three-fourths. But now half the male population has probably had their hopes lifted. But Remy, all we ever talk about in these letters are my love life, what about yours? Anybody lighting the flame of Mr. Lupin?
-Sirius
Siri!
Don't be silly, who would ever date me?
-Remy
Remy,
Maybe I would. What do you say?
-Siri
To : Sirius Black
Now you're just being a stupid git. Stop messing around with me.
-Remus J. Lupin
Remy,
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Anyway, my parents are taking my idiotic brother and me on a trip to Europe for the rest of the summer. I don't know if I'll be able to write often, so I'll understand if you don't want to write to me for the rest of the summer either. If this is this case, I'll see you on the Hogwarts train.
-Siri
P.S. I wasn't joking.
Remus boarded the school train, fully anxious to see his friends. Especially Sirius. Mostly Sirius. His owl hadn't been able to find the Black boy all during the summer. Peter was already fidgeting in their compartment when the werewolf entered.
"Hey Remus." Peter said, looking up, grinning.
"Hello Peter. Have you seen James or Sirius?"
"Yes, they're outside the Slytherin's compartment seeing how many toads they can get in there before the Slytherins arrive." Peter replied, with a laugh. "Seems they're getting a head start."
Remus hurried out of the train, and saw James and Sirius, having a tad of a difficult time, trying to close the compartment door before a million toads jumped out.
They did finally, and turned grinning to see the werewolf.
"Remy!" Sirius greeted excitedly, throwing his arm around the boy.
Remus was shocked to see Sirius. The other teenager had grown quite a few inches in height, and definitely buffed out. Remus also did not fall to notice that his voice had gotten quite a bit deeper.
"How are you Remus?" James spoke, a smile blooming on his face. "I have some exciting things to tell you, but on the train of course. Oh, oh, wait! Here come the Slytherins."
Sirius, Remus, and James all turned to see Severus Snape open the compartment door to have quite a few toads come raining down on him and his slimy friends.
Sirius was bent over with laughter, and James was holding his sides. Even Remus was having trouble choking back a laugh.
"You think that's funny then?" Lucius Malfoy questioned, glaring over at them.
"No. I don't think it's funny." Sirius replied, sobering up. "I think it's freaking hilarious!"
Malfoy strode over, fury plastered on his face, accompanied by Nott and Macnair.
"You better watch out Black, or you'll get something coming to you."
Sirius looked at Malfoy, who was nearly his height.
"Like what?" Sirius challenged
Malfoy cast a meaningful glance at Remus who was standing to Black's left, and then looked back to Sirius.
A muscle twitched in Sirius's jaw, and a dangerous color flashed in his eyes.
"Keep dreaming Malfoy." Sirius answered, and then spun on his heel, grabbing Remus's arm.
James followed behind, keeping a watchful eye that no hexes were following them. They reached the compartment just as the whistle below signaling the leaving.
"What took you guys so long?" Peter questioned as they got back on.
James sat down shaking his head.
"Sirius's popularity with the fuzzy green and silver friends."
"Why don't you sit down Remus?" Sirius asked in a voice little more then a growl.
Remus looked down at his arm pointedly where Sirius still had a firm grasp. Sirius looked surprised for a moment that he was still holding Remus, but released with a mumble of apology.
"Now that that is over with..." James began. "I have a brilliant idea to help the well-being of our dear Mr. Moony."
Remus raised an eyebrow not liking the familiar tone of evil doing he was hearing from the Potter.
"Now, Remus, you can't be mad at us. Sirius and I have been working on this for a year already, and we're pretty sure we know what we're doing."
Peter groaned.
"What did you two do?"
"Something pure genius." Sirius replied, sitting down next to Remus with a familiar twinkle of evil doing in his eyes.
"We think we've figured out how to become Animagi."
"WHAT!?" there were shouts as both Remus and Peter stood.
Pettigrew was shocked by the pure brilliance of it, while Lupin was shocked by the pure illegalness of it.
Sirius leaned back, putting his hands behind his head.
"Told you that would be impressed Prongs."
"Prongs?" Peter asked, taking his seat again.
"Code name. Also our Marauder names. Not to mention the animal that he will one day turn into."
Remus let out a sigh as he sat down.
"Tell me."
*~~~~~~~~~~*
The four boys had worked like mad on their newest project, but it still looked as though it could take them a few years more to finish it. Their spirits were all slightly dampened by this, until the thought of their first Hogsmeade weekend was brought up. This brought the boys into a new dimension of trouble-making. They had it all planned out and were determined to have the entire town know their names by the end of the night.
Their first stop of course, was Zonko's.
Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter piled into the joke shop with what seemed to be every other student in Hogwarts.
"Bloody crowded..." Sirius cursed as he tried to swim through the throng of students.
He made his way over to the candy, with Remus close on his heels.
"Remy, look at this. Quills that-"
Remus was fully paying attention, he noticed that Peter and James had gotten separated from them.
"And these! Bloody hell, Bubble gum-"
Remus turned to where his best friend had a child-like glow in his eyes. He looked up, grinning, shaggy black hair falling in his eyes. Remus felt his heart skip a beat.
"Sirius... er... Sirius...."
Black was racing from one container of sugary wonders to the next.
"Siri!" Remus shouted, trying to be heard above the noise.
He tugged on his friend's cloak, feeling very childish.
"Mmm, what is it Remy?"
"James and Peter."
Sirius finally looked up, his dark eyes scanning the store.
"Damn. We'll meet them in The Three Broomsticks, okay? That's where we're supposed to go next."
Remus nodded, as Sirius drew him near and began to show him some Talon-Covered Toffee.
The two stayed in the joke shop until Sirius had inspected each and every product, and explain its function to Lupin.
Only then did they head over to the pub. The two Marauders looked around for their friends, but not seeing them, took a seat in a table near the corner.
"We'll watch the door for awhile. They have to come in eventually." Sirius suggested.
They had only been sitting there for ten minutes when a waitress came over, and set two drinks on the table.
"These aren't ours." Sirius said, looking up at her.
"They're from two boys. Said their names were James and Peter." she gave him a wink and left.
"They must have ordered drinks, and will be here soon." Remus assumed.
"I guess so..." Sirius said taking a large swig. "Mmm... What is this stuff?"
"Isn't it Butterbeer?" Remus questioned, taking a sip.
"I...guess..."
By the time they finished their drinks, two things were obvious, but the boys were too drunk to notice either. One was that the liquids had gotten them drunk, and the second was that James and Peter had never shown up.
"Mmm..." Sirius put his head down on the table. "That was the best Butterbeer I've ever had..."
Remus ran his fingers through Sirius's dark locks, feeling relaxed.
"You're very pretty Sirius." Remus said, his words slurred.
"Really? You love me?" Sirius looked up at him, winking playfully, and then hiccupping.
Remus tucked a curl behind the other's boy ear, admiring his beauty, his mind slightly fuzzy.
Sirius suddenly sat up, and kissed Remus hard. His lips crushed against the other boys, and Remus almost fell over with shock.
Then he put his hand tentatively back into Sirius's hair and stroked it lightly. Sirius was enjoying this immensely, and gently he licked Remus's lower lip. The lips parted ever so slightly, granting Sirius access.
He explored the smaller boy's mouth, and felt Remus quiver ever so slightly, as he began to run his hand up his thigh.
Suddenly hoots of laughter broke the two apart. Sirius glared angrily as he saw the Slytherins sitting only a few tables away. It hit Remus first, and he glowed red with shame. He was up in an instant, racing out of The Three Broomsticks.
Sirius snarled at Lucius Malfoy who gave him a shrug.
"That will teach you to touch things that don't belong to you Black." Malfoy sneered.
Sirius was gone in an instant though, desperately trying to find Remus.
*~~~~~~~~*
Remus stumbled slightly down the path he was walking, trying to keep the tears from falling. He had been so stupid. Telling Sirius he was beautiful... How thick could he get?
He suddenly ran into somebody, and put his hand over his face, wondering if this day could get any worse.
"Remy? Remy? What's wrong? It's James, Remy."
Remus looked up, never feeling more relieved.
"Oh Jamie, I'm such an idiot." Remus finally started crying.
James looked, worried, and turned to Peter.
"I'm going to take Remus back to the castle, okay? Find Sirius and tell him. Tell him not to worry too. He's probably been looking for Remus all afternoon too."
"Okay." Peter agreed, as James led Remus away.
*~~~~~~~~~*
Year Three To Be Continued….
Next Time On Future Legends:
"Sirius!" Remus screamed with all his might, before he realized what he was doing.
Lucius looked up angrily, a growl emitting from his throat. He drew back, and punched Remus in his stomach as hard as he could. All the air rushed from him in one movement, his eyes growing very wide.
"Shut up," Lucius commanded. "You belong to me, not that mongrel, you understand?"
Author's Note: Nee… I didn't want this chapter to be too much longer then the others, so I split it in half. The other half is already written, so I'm pretty much just being evil. XDD Lucius Malfoy comes back for the second part of his evil plan. ^.~ Review or email at vegetaztwin@hotmail.com
