Disclaimer: Nope, not mine unfortunately and I am making nothing out of
this except maybe happy satisfaction at toying with the two pup's lives.
Thanks to:
Yaoi-is-gay-13: Lol yep, you gotta love that shounen-ai!
Arigazi: I know that the backwards 'V' sign is like another 'ah fuck you' because back in the battle against the Norman's the English archers used to have their bow-fingers cut off when they were captured by the French. So to mock them as they came towards them the English would hold up their fingers in a V sign at them. Trust us Brits to think of something like that. Antagonising our enemies, tch! And I see where you're coming from with the Romeo and Juliet thing lol.
Akuma Malik; Queen of Typos: Lmao I'm a bugger for doing that. I sit there and go 'oh all right one chapter; and then turns out I've read all 23 of them!
Kotay: Oh I'm not finished yet, I've still got to do when Sirius accidentally lets slip to Snape about Remus's secret but not yet.
Passionflower: Oh god yes, Van Helsing is meant to be cheesy which is why I advised people go with friends. It's a fun day out, you get a laugh with a ton of 'whoa cool move' stuff but in the end it's about hanging with friends and squealing over the HP trailer Lmao! Mwha, the day it comes out I get to see it!
Elrohir lover: Gay sex is just like hetero sex only, you know, more interesting. No faking it...ok sorry LMAO! Made me laugh the other day because my friend said to read this 'Cho/Harry' fic which I detest with a vengeance but she was laughing as she told me to so I went over. Then she was like 'read that bit' pointing at the AN. Basically it said "And here's a nice fluffy Cho/Harry because I'm fed up of seeing slash fics...you guys are SICK!" Oh how I cried with laughter. This 12 year old was saying that basically people not like her were sick...We –know- Harry won't be gay in Cannon, we –know- Sirius wasn't with Remus but that doesn't mean we can't play with it. Us slashers –know- Cho Chang is a materialistic cow and some played up 'fluff' about her won't change how whiney she is! Ok, rant done LMAO!
Jenna: Hell yeah you'll here more from Harry and Cara. I miss writing for them so much and it didn't help that I saw the episode of Buffy where Willow and Tara get back together because I was sitting there going 'That is SO Harry and Cara!' Hmm, German, lol I'll have you know I just got a C in foundation so I highly doubt I'll any use. But all you need is 'Gotentag (Good day), Bitte Shoun (Thank you and also Please) and 'Auf Wiedersien (Good bye)! And please, I certainly know my idea of heaven involves a teenage Sirius and some chocolate (Grins)!
Happo: Lmao why thank you, I can now use these plushies as my pillow/entertainment!
Guyunderpressure: LMAO It's like having my own little comical episode with you two around.
Hp-Azn: Lmao, like I said I still have the 'Prank' to do in here and that's never good.
Elvencherry07: Aye, I've never liked him as the big player either. He just doesn't strike me in that way and puh-lease, as if he notices anything beside red hair and green eyes!
Blueberrypancakes: Lol why thank you, I'm glad you like it.
Kitty254781: Ah thank you, you make me blush. But I agree, I like slash but it has to be tasteful otherwise it's just smut and whilst others may like that it ain't really my thing. There can be sex but a plot must be present.

Chapter 12 – Trials and Tribulations
The rest of the Gryffindor's accepted our little touches and embraces with smiles of reassurance. I think half of them expected something like this to happen but I'm not entirely sure.
Lily in particular was rather open on coming to me in the library and telling me she thought it was 'sweet but keep an eye on him when the Slytherins find out.'
How right she was to give me such advice.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
(1975)
Remus moaned happily as he opened his eyes to the morning light streaming through the window. He surveyed his position to find Sirius still asleep on his back, sheets pulled up to his naked chest with one strong leg poking out from the sheets where it bent at his knee slightly.
Remus himself had the other half of the sheet wrapped around his naked body but his leg was also poking out and resting across Sirius's hips. He was curled round the animagi so his head rested low on the darker teen's chest. This seemed to be a common position to wake up in for the past week or so.
Leaning up he placed a kiss on the underside of Sirius's chin then moved it slowly up until his lips teased at the animagi's. Azure blue eyes blinked blearily until amusement filled the gaze and the kisses were returned.
They pulled back with a happy hum.
"Mmm, when did morning happen?" Sirius said lazily as he closed his eyes briefly. Remus chuckled as he kissed him again.
"Don't know, you had me distracted for most of the night."
Sirius smiled then opened his eyes again. Exhaling a contented sigh the animagi ran faint patterns down Remus's spine.
"Come on then, class we shall go." He said eventually and sat up bringing the werewolf with him.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The four Marauders walked towards potions amongst the hordes of other students milling into classes in loud chatter.
Sirius had Remus's hand linked with his in between their bodies lightly pressed together. The werewolf had a faint blush on his face as sometimes girls would catch a glimpse of the joined hands and would give little sounds of adoration but otherwise he smiled at Sirius who winked at him.
They found a queue of Gryffindors waiting patiently for the next lesson.
"Evans!" James called, "Go out with me!"
"Not today Potter, I have an appointment with Fiona to watch paint dry which is –far- more appealing." The red head answered almost lazily making the rest of the Marauders chuckle as James shrugged his shoulders.
"Worth a shot." He said to them but some people caught it and laughed lightly. Even Lily shook her head slightly amused...not that she'd admit it to him of course.
"Hey Lily." Remus said and instantly a grin jumped to her face. She got along with the werewolf as they both shared a love of the library.
"Hey Rem, still hanging out with the annoying obsessive then?" She said jerking her thumb in the direction of James who leant on the wall not two metres away.
"Yeah but he gives me good money so..." The girl laughed then turned her gaze on Sirius who still had his hand in the tawny boy's but was conversing with his best friend.
"Oi, you." She said poking his arm making him turn to her in brief shock before a wicked grin jumped to his face.
"Don't give me that grin, I'm not some dunder-head skirt...but apparently that isn't your taste anymore." She grinned as she inclined her head towards their hands.
Sirius smiled properly this time.
"Problem with it?" He asked in a teasing tone and she simply raised an eyebrow.
"Nope, but if you hurt my study buddy here I'll make sure that there will be no future happy times with a significant limb of yours."
The animagi blanched then looked at Remus who was trying to hide his laughter into his hand. Fixing his trademark grin back on the taller teen looked back down at the fiery female.
"Miss Evans you have yourself a deal." They shook hands in a big, obvious way before the two boys joined the rest of their gang.
"She always talks to you guys." James humphed as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Don't worry Jim, One day you'll do something right, she'll fall in love with you then you'll get married at a ridiculous age. Then you'll have a baby boy who of course you'll name me Godfather to and he'll do lots of things to make the Marauders proud."
"...Yeah, like that'll happen." James complained.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"...So if you'll partner up into twos then we can begin to prepare the 'Mandrake-Papaya Hex-breaker antidote'." The Professor called and there was a flurry of movement as everyone moved around.
Sirius all but dived at Remus's desk where he stood with a wide grin on his face, cauldron in hand and laughing the werewolf moved over for him. James tried but failed to ask Lily if he could work with her but in the end had to opt for working with Peter who watched the exchange with amusement.
"Right what first?" Remus said as he looked over at the board at the head of the room.
"One: Create an infusion by pouring boiling water over the papaya leaves and seeds." Sirius recited as he performed the instruction.
He was about to do the next one when a loud sound came from the Slytherin side of the room. Looking up Remus noted that the professor had left the room...never a good sign.
He looked back at Sirius and all but blanched at the murderous look in his boyfriend's eyes. He followed the animagi's gaze to find Snape smirking at them. The greasy haired boy inclined his head to the board and Remus slowly did so with dread filling his stomach.
There was a message scrawled over the classes instructions in messy pointed handwriting.
'Remus Lupin; A sign that inter-breeding really does create the mudbloods.'
The tawny boy stared at the message with a strange ringing in his ears. He wasn't even muggle-born but some distant part of him thought briefly that they were talking of the werewolf curse that tainted his blood.
But no...they –couldn't- know. So they must be talking about his new relationship.
"Bastard!"
He turned round just to see Sirius make his way towards a large blonde Slytherin. The boy grinned as he still had his wand pointed at the piece of chalk he had used to write the message. The grin faltered a little as Sirius kicked a chair out of his way and suddenly the darker boy's height of 5'11 seemed so much more.
"What're you going to do Black? Slap me?"
The Slytherins laughed obnoxiously and shaking himself out of the trance that he'd falling into Remus, with James, moved forward to try to catch the fuming male.
Sirius pushed another chair out of his way clearing his path straight to the Slytherin who suddenly seemed to realise what kind of trouble he was in. Snape attempted to throw a hex at him but James threw out a 'Protego' before it hit and moved to keep an eye on the boy, wand trained on him.
"Take it back." Sirius said dangerously low but even he knew the blonde boy would no such thing in front of the rest of his classmates.
In fact he hoped he wouldn't.
"Get lost Black, I'm not apologising to something that pathetic."
With a roar Sirius leapt at the other boy and caught his chin with a powerful fist thrown forwards. A girl screamed somewhere in the background as the two boys began to go all out with fierce uppercuts and low-shots.
The blonde boy fell backwards and Sirius was about to move forwards when Remus caught him around the chest holding him back.
"He's not worth it Padfoot!" He yelled over all the commotion in the room. The animagi struggled for a moment but Remus placed a small discreet kiss on the back of his neck instantly calming the other boy.
"WHAT IN BLAZES HAPPENED IN HERE?" Came a loud voice from the door and everyone turned to find the Professor standing at the door, her eyes wide in shock. Quickly she surveyed the room from the message on the board, to the falling chairs and finally on the boys all gathered to the side.
"Black, Dugan...you will stay behind. The rest of you, get out now." She said so calmly but it was that which was more terrifying then if she had shouted.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Remus sat Indian-style on his bed tapping his knee nervously as he waited for Sirius's return. James looked at him worriedly but the werewolf merely shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"You alright about what they wrote?" The Stag animagi asked and Remus smiled gently at him.
"Yeah, I mean...it was going to happen eventually right? Can't always live in a dream world can we." He said a little sadly.
"Why not?"
They both turned to the new voice and saw a rather haggard looking Sirius enter the room. The werewolf stood abruptly and walked over to him to cup his tired face in his hands before kissing him soundly.
"Because it doesn't work like that Padfoot mate." James said solemnly. The dog animagi shook his head.
"Well it should. All those little boy and girl pair off's get their peaceful worlds, why not us?" He demanded angrily but Remus instantly soothed him with a kiss on the under-side of his chin.
"Because people in groups are cruel Pads, you have to find them individually before you truly trust their opinion."
A pregnant silence rang in the air until Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"Since when did James Potter become a Guru?" He quipped and it was this that shattered the uncomfortable atmosphere with laughter.
"Ah but I am the almighty Love doctor Sirius mate." James grinned but Remus laughed.
"Can I see your degree before I take your opinion to heart?" He said and had to duck when a pillow came flying his way.
He and Sirius collapsed to the floor laughing as James bounded across the room where he leapt almost comically before crashing down on them.
"Pile up!"
Sirius was on the bottom as he laughed. He just managed to roll over to find Remus squashed against him and still laughing they shared a deep kiss.
"Seriously, guys, I'm still here."
