Disclaimer: Not mine, really. I'm just having fun with them.
Thanks to:
Avain: Aye, I'll get some Lily/James in there some time. And really, that obvious (Pretends to whistle as she twiddles her thumbs).
Kessolli: Aw thank you so much. I want to try my best to keep the characters in...well character lol. As for how I saw the film I got premier tickets to see it Monday in advance so I got to see it before all my friends! (Cackles evilly).
Hp-Azn: Seriously, it's good, buy it!
Elvencherry07: It was BRILLINAT! Definitely the best one yet and it's good as a stand-alone film too! I think the MWPP scene you're talking about is when they explain why they became animagi but it's ok because they make up with a different scene of their own to show the love between the Marauders.
Legolas19: Lmao, fair enough!
GryffRavHuffSLythendor: Lol I'll try my hardest not too and believe me when I say that that CD will be on repeat for some time lol!
Yaoi-is-gay-13: Lol, why thank you.
Yuki Bombay: I wouldn't mind a robe like that, could be very snazzy lol!
Mira Black: Oh we booked for the ticket like a week in advance for at three o clock showing so it was cheaper too. Aye 'Buckbeak's Flight' is amazing, and have you noticed that 'Hagrid the Professor' 's opening sounds like something from Monty Python and the Holy Grail? But 'Window to the Past' is by far my favourite. And thank you, I do pride myself on my updates lol! WANKER! I LOVE THAT WORD LMAO! Along with BUGGER IT! (Giggles).
Passionflower: The Fat Lady, aka DAWN FRENCH WAS AMAZING. ("Just by the sound of my voice!") Did you see Sir Cadogan in the background? That was so funny! OH SWEET LORD HIS FACE! Harry's face man that cracked me up the sheer shock at Hagrid's implication LMAO! Maybe they spelt it 'Mooney' to make it look more 'ye olde inn' sort of styley? I jumped on my sister's bed once and it broke right down the middle. Piss funny at the time! Anyway, aye I'd like to right a James/Lily some time. I'll have to do that!
Happo: Oh Jesus I hope you're wrong. I'm not so sure she'll kill Remus because too many people would despair over Harry losing yet another father figure. It would be too much I think. But you never know (Touch wood). Ooh and yah at building fort with us!
Guyunderpressure: That was a bloody good punch that Hermione dealt out! Oh my god, I actually dared my friend from college (Who I reckon looks like an Oz style werewolf) to take the day off college and phone in to say "I couldn't come in today, it's the Full Moon and I'm not feeling very well." I think he's going to do it LMAO!
Akuma Malick: Queen of Typo's: Aye, serious. It seems here kids think it's –cool- to lose it between 13- 15 when all they have to do is wait till they're 16. But they convince themselves it's the 'right' thing. Ah well, what they decide to do is their business. Can't say it's worth it really. Aye, in know what I have planned it's just building up the little spaces in between that are bothersome (sigh). The movie was EXCELLENT! You really got that Sirius cared about Remus (as brothers in that of course) and the hug was brilliant because I think (I'm not entirely sure what he was saying) but Sirius may have been sobbing ever so slightly.
Obviously oblivious: Why thank you.

Chapter 17 – Cleopatra's Blade
Christmas day came and for it us Marauders decided that we'd meet in the afternoon after having spent the morning in the traditional family sense.
Let it be known that Sirius, no matter how dense he may appear to anyone else, is –always- aware of his surroundings no matter what.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
(1975)
"Remus!"
The young werewolf cringed at the sound of his 8-year-old cousin stomping her way up the stairs. He curled up slightly foolishly thinking that if he remained still then she may not notice him.
As many have learnt, this is never true no matter how hard we wish it to be so.
"There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" The girl said as she burst through the door. She had her blonde hair in pigtails and there was a slight chocolate smudge on her cheek as she moved forwards towards the teenager.
"Come play with me!" She demanded and Remus smiled apologetically at her.
"I'm sorry Katrina but I have Hogwarts homework to finish." He said but the girl frowned at him.
"But it's Christmas and you're supposed to spend it with family."
"I know that's what I said but the teachers are very strict. They wanted me to have finished it all by Christmas Eve but I ran a little late. So if I don't do it now I'll be in trouble."
The girl surveyed him sceptically but he stared back unflinching. Rule number one when lying, always look the person in the eye otherwise you're eyes will wonder to the right which is a sure sign that you're lying.
A few more tense moments passed until finally the girl sighed and nodded.
"Oh ok, I'll go see if Auntie Brigit will play with me."
"Ok." Remus said smiling sadly again until finally his door clicked. Jumping up he performed a little victory dance on his bed.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Remus knocked on the green door of James Potter's house and waited patiently, watching the snow drift lazily to the ground. Suddenly the door burst open and he was covered in the hallway lighting.
"MOONY!" James cried as he grabbed his friend by the arm and pulled him in.
Giving a yelp at the sudden movement Remus almost tripped as he came over the threshold and James slammed the door behind him.
"MOONY'S HERE!" He called through the living room door and the werewolf heard faint little cheers. They walked into the warmly decorated room, smiling at the scene.
The Potter's always over decorated but no one had complained yet. Quite the opposite actually, if you wanted a Christmas scene then the Potter house was the place. Red and Gold tinsel lined the edges of the ceiling with various dangling decorations hanging from the ceiling. A large tree decorated in the same Red and Gold trimming sat enchantingly in the corner where various opened presents still sat with an exception of the presents from the Marauders to one another.
Sirius looked up from his present off the Potter parents, a model of a muggle motorbike thus beginning his newest obsession, and smiled as his boyfriend entered the room pulling off his coat.
James went bounding off into the kitchen to speak to his mum where she was finishing up with the cleaning after the roast dinner.
Peter was edging closer and closer to the presents, looking up every now and again to see if everyone was ready yet.
Smiling Remus moved to sit on the floor between Sirius's feet who sat on a large squishy armchair. He tucked his feet under himself as he half turned to rest his arm over the dog animagi's knees and looked up at Sirius sweetly.
"Hello love." Sirius said with a wink and laughing the werewolf pulled him down gently to touch his lips to the other boy's.
It was chaste and sweet in nature that even Mrs Potter didn't mind when she wandered through a couple of minutes later to place a tray full of soft drinks and biscuits in the centre of the room.
"Thanks mum." James said as he threw himself to lie sideways on the sofa but earned a slap on the thigh from his mother for doing so.
"You break it you buy a new one." She warned but the warm twinkle in her eyes revealed her humour in the situation.
"Thank you Mrs Potter." Remus said in his soft voice and Sarah Potter simpered a little. She always did like his good nature.
"Yeah ta Mrs P!" Sirius said and the woman laughed, ruffling his hair a little as she walked back into the kitchen.
"Biscuits, gimme!" James said stretching just enough to reach a jaffa cake before settling back against the sofa.
"So who's going first?" Sirius said and James made a click with his fingers at Peter then pointed at a present. The mousy boy handed it over.
"Here you are Padfoot, my present to you." He tossed it over and Sirius caught it, Remus ducking unnecessarily.
"Coward." The stag animagus teased and Remus stuck his tongue out at him.
"Is it breakable?" Sirius asked his best friend and James shrugged.
"You'll have to wait and see won't you."
The taller teen began to undo the sellotaped ends, peering in every now and again until finally he grinned as he pulled the object out.
"Funny." He said dryly raising an eyebrow at his smirking friend as Remus took the present off of his boyfriend, laughing lightly at the meaning behind it.
It was a small cuddly black dog, button eyes and all with the words 'Moony's Bitch' sewn across its little podgy chest. He guessed that James must have added that bit.
"I like it." He teased handing back to Sirius who pretended to scowl at him. Never the less the other boy cradled the cuddle in his lap quite affectionately.
It continued like this for a while until finally Sirius had received a black candle that had a blue flame off of Peter, James had received a book on animagi from Remus sweets of Peter and a broomstick servicing kit of Sirius. Peter had received sweets off Sirius, a pouch to keep his wand in from James and a wand cleaning kit of Remus. Remus in turn had been giving a set of Defence against the Dark arts books from Peter and a cloak broach with a sapphire encrusted in the centre of it from James.
"Lovers time now!" James teased as he stood to go get some more biscuits, Peter scampering in his wake.
"Here." Sirius whispered as he handed Remus a neatly wrapped green package. Looking up at the animagi with a sweet lop-sided grin on his face Remus kissed him briefly before he slowly undid the wrapping.
He finally pulled back all the edges and his heart leapt to his throat.
Inside folded neatly was the velvet robe he's been wanting from Diagon alley. He was lost for words as he stood, lifting the robe so that it unravelled itself. He stroked the soft fabric with his thumbs for a moment before he turned to the slightly smiling Sirius watching him closely.
"I made sure it was the right size so it should fit." The boy said quietly and Remus felt the lump forming in his throat. He strode forwards, lifted Sirius to stand and kissed him with everything he had inside of him.
His arms lifted up around the other boy's neck and he pressed his lips tightly to the others.
When they pulled apart Sirius smirked a little.
"I guess you like it then?" He said and laughing quietly Remus slapped his arm gently.
"Oh shut up." He mumbled before he kissed him again. When they were locked together Sirius gently took the robe form his boyfriend's hand and wrapped it around Remus's shoulders. He pulled back with a smile.
"Looks perfect." He said grinning as he did the front clasp up, smoothing his hands over Remus's shoulders to straighten the fabric.
"Thank you." Remus whispered and grinning once more Sirius placed a hand to cup the werewolf's chin.
"You're welcome."
"Your turn."
Quickly with a swish of the cloak Remus turned towards the tree and moving over with the cloak shuffling around him he retrieved his present for Sirius from under the tree.
Walking back, loving the feel of the cloak moving around him, he knelt before Sirius who had sat once more in his chair before handing over his present.
"You look very impressive with that on." Sirius said idly as he took the present, nodding at the garment wrapped around his lover's shoulders.
"Open it." The werewolf urged and laughing Sirius did just that.
Sirius pulled aside the blue wrapping to reveal a long red velvet box. Looking up at Remus curiously for a moment he looked back down at the box before tugging off the lid. His jaw dropped just slightly.
Inside, nestled against the crushed velvet was a long intricate dagger, sheath and all. The handle was of an Egyptian woman, her arms folded across her chest making her body slender and perfect as a handle. At her feet sat a scarab beetle, its long wings extending either side of the blade, which was still in its sheath. The sheath itself was decorated in Egyptian Hieroglyphs and was slivery blue in colour.
Pulling the dagger from its box Sirius drew the blade from its decorated sheath. The blade was bendy in shape and was gleaming silver, a tint of blue running down the centre of it.
"It's called Cleopatra's Blade and when I saw it I thought of you...my Ra, my Sun God." Remus said quietly as Sirius looked up at him slowly.
Leaning forwards he caught the tawny boy's lips with his own in a passionate kiss, showing every ounce of gratitude through this one gesture.
"It's magnificent." He whispered when they pulled back and looked down at the blade once more. Then suddenly, something clicked.
"THAT'S what you meant when you said about Ra, in that class with the notes remember?" Sirius said smirking and Remus laughed loudly.
"Threw you off with that one huh." He said and chuckling Sirius pulled him forwards into a hug.
"Thank you, it really is beautiful." He said, admiring the blade once more before frowning mockingly.
"It's blunted." He stated and Remus quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Oh yeah, like I was going to give a boy with a major temper problem a sharp object!"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
AN: I actually have that blade, it's very pretty.

Avain: Aye, I'll get some Lily/James in there some time. And really, that obvious (Pretends to whistle as she twiddles her thumbs).
