Chapter 33 – Right state of mind
With the dance over fear began to set in once more. Your father and Godfather however refused to let anyone fall into sadness.
I think many of us owe them thanks for seeing us through such dark times with light laughter and kindness.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
(1976)
The group laughed and clapped their hands in time as James and Sirius swung around, their arms linked as they sang loudly.
"Oh you can search far and wide,
You can drink the whole town dry.
You'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we're drinking in our town."
They jumped up onto the little coffee table and continued their dancing, Remus and Lily standing by the entrance hole that they had just entered laughing as they watched the two boys kick their legs in a can-can fashion.
"You can kick your fancy ales.
You can drink em by the flagon.
But the only brew for the brave and true . . .
Comes from the Green Dragon!"
They finished by knocking their foreheads against one another and took a bow, the group gathered clapping and cheering as the two teens bowed. Spotting Remus moving towards them Sirius grinned and jumped off the table.
"Nice song." The werewolf said as Sirius reached him, making the boy yelp as he dipped him suddenly and kissed him passionately, several girls calling out catcalls.
"Thanks, James taught me it."
"Very cheery." The smaller teen said before yawning and Sirius, slipping an arm around his waist led him back towards the dorm doors.
"Anyway shouldn't you be resting what with tonight being...?" The question was left open but Remus knew what he meant none the less and nodded.
"Was just heading there." He said and slowly the two made their way up the stairs.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
When the final nauseating sensation wore off and the aches of his limbs began to wear off Moony raised his head, his tail already beating against the ground in excitement as he looked up to come face to face with the wonderful black dog.
...His mate.
Padfoot's tail began to match his almost eccentric feelings as his tongue lolled out happily. Prongs stood not just behind him and in greeting he pawed the ground with his hoof before snorting and letting out a deer bark.
Wormtail remained situated between the stag's antlers as he twitched his whiskers in greeting, Moony looking up at him with his tongue now panting out in happiness.
The wolf then felt a nudging at his side and looking down he found the dog snuggling against him. With a contented whine the wolf returned the gesture as the stag rolled its eyes as best as a stag could. It let out another impatient cry before turning and nudging the door open with his great antlered head.
Padfoot licked the end of Moony's nose before pointing with his snout towards the door and led the large grey-tawny furred werewolf outside to the cloudless night sky.
Moony looked up briefly to gaze at the luminous full moon in the sky and at the tiny pinpricks of stars against the black-blue sky, a lazy whine escaping him as he stared back at the face on the moon. His gaze was drawn from it when he felt a rough tongue against his muzzle. Giving a surprised snort he looked at his midnight black mate before returning the gentle touch.
Prongs hoofed the ground to catch their attention once more and he began to lead the way into the forbidden forest. Momentarily the werewolf turned towards the school.
All those humans, one huge place full of prey and yet he felt compelled to follow his mate, his mate and his pack. After another still moment the wolf let out a breath that formed as mist in the air then turned to follow the unusual gathering of animals.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Dog and Wolf raced one another wildly as they crashed through the greenery, the stag bellowing not far behind them as he leapt after them with the rat clinging for sheer life between his antlers.
The wolf howled merrily as the dog snapped playfully at his heels before darting away from the wolf's playful return nip.
The wolf stopped and turned but the dog, not anticipating this sudden halt crashed into him sending them both tumbling down a small embankment. As they landed Moony gave a little cough that sounded very similar to a laugh as the dog let out a bark happily. The Stag stopped and slid carefully down the side to join the tangled mess of limbs that were the two canines.
("This is almost like Marauding.") Remus thought and then yelped a little as he realised what he had just done.
("I just had a coherent thought!") He thought and yelped again excitedly. The dog quirked an ear to one side, the other remaining up as he looked at the wolf in confusion.
"What?" his eyes seemed to say and the wolf bounded forwards to lick his nose before jumping around in what appeared to be happy little barks.
This was incredible! He thought as he bounced around, he could maintain his more humane thoughts despite the change!
The stag watched a little confused as it stood by the dog's side but eventually Padfoot gave a very canine laugh and bounded forwards to play with his mate.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Remus gritted his teeth as the electrifying pain coursed through his body like intensified pins and needles. He heard and felt the final crack of his last vertebrae clicking back into its rightful place before letting his body slump in an exhausted heap.
He was lightly panting when he felt a cool hand brush his hair out of his face and he managed to blearily blink open his gold eyes. He saw Sirius lying beside him on his stomach, smiling gently as he ran his cold hands over Remus's over-heated face.
"Hey, how're you feeling?" He whispered as he pulled the spare sheet in the shack over the boy's naked form.
"Like my body has been torn apart and then put back...oh no wait, that –did- happen." He managed to mutter weakly and he heard a soft snort come from his mate making him grin a little.
"Pomfrey will be here soon." James said as he watched the pair from his usual look out spot at the door. Peter was checking the window for sign of anyone outside.
"We'd better go love." Sirius whispered and nodding meekly the two shared a gentle kiss before Sirius pushed himself up with a grunt and the three other boys made their escape with one final look at their friend.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Remus stared up at the ceiling of the infirmary in elated joy. He had noticed slowly over the time that he spent with the Marauders that he had managed to maintain a little control but last night was the first time that his, -his- mind had been the dominant one.
He turned his head as he heard footsteps moving towards him and smiled when Sirius turned the corner accompanied by James. The two boys smiled at him, which he readily returned.
"Remus!" Sirius said happily as he charged towards his boyfriend's hospital bed making the werewolf laugh.
"You seem in a chipper mood considering everything." James noted and Remus grinned almost madly.
"I was in control." He whispered but the other two frowned in confusion.
"In...control?" Sirius said and pushing himself into a sitting position Remus nodded impatiently.
"Of the wolf." He said and the other boys' eyebrows shot up in surprise.
"Shut up!" James said grinning and Remus's intensified.
"It's true!" He said and Sirius gave a great bark of a laugh as he hugged Remus close to him.
"But...I mean, how...I don't..." James laughed again at his loss for words before joining the two on the bed for an embrace.
"I don't know, I just remember, well –remembering-! Everything down to the classes we had had that day to why this was fun...-coherent-thoughts!"
They sat then smiling at one another as conversation drifted slowly over them for hours until Madame Pomfrey returned, tutting and kicking the two renowned trouble makers out of the infirmary (but not before Sirius sneaked in another kiss).
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi
Madame Pomfrey finally allowed Remus to return to his dorm to rest in the evening and the overwhelming joy at his control still kept the smile firmly set upon his face.
"Maybe you should take control more often if it makes you grin like this, you're practically punch drunk." James said as he flicked through his magazine.
Sirius however was celebrating with his lover with a healthy dose of deep kissing, Remus (despite his exhaustion from the night before) eagerly returning the touches as he pressed his lips firmly against his mates.
Neither made an acknowledgement at hearing their friend as they continued to press against one another, hands roaming over one another, as lips remained sealed. Peter flushed as embarrassing memories cropped up but he otherwise got on with his potion essay, flinching a little when an overly energetic moan would slip out.
"Jesus Christ you two, don't devour each other." James said wincing a little at the intensity of the kiss. But before he could go over to break them up a knock sounded at the door so he opted for answering that instead.
He blinked when he found Lily looking a little bashful with a fist still raised ready to knock.
"Um...hi, is Remus here? I need to ask him something about the Runes essay."
Smirking James side stepped so she got a full view of the make out session the two boys were sharing and her jaw dropped.
"Wow...I mean really, that's practically explicit material." She said before cocking her head a little, grinning wider when the position was made more erotic by the movement.
"Remus is currently withheld in a meeting but if you'd like to leave a message I'm sure he'll get back to you."
James smirked as Lily laughed before the girl shrugged and walked into the room.
"That's fine, I'd rather hang out with you then with the bickering duo downstairs. This your bed?" She pointed to James's bed before happily sitting down on it. James had to clutch the door to avoid collapsing there and then. He had Lily Evans...on his bed...wanting to hang out with him...- willingly-.
He settled for nodding as he knew the closet thing to a word leaving his mouth would have been "Flurbell gluagh hmm." Not exactly the work of Don Juan.
He closed the door and after ignoring Peter's sly look he sat on the bed next to her, crossing his legs as they turned to face one another. He made to open his mouth but he was rudely interrupted by a long drawn out moan from Sirius.
Snorting in amusement Lily briefly looked over at the two males then back at James.
"Maybe we should draw the curtains." She said.
James had to check his pulse to see if, yep he was still alive...this wasn't heaven.
"Um...o-ok." He said and missed the amused glint in the red head's eyes as he drew the curtains around them to a close.
"I thought maybe we could finish that 'getting to know one another' conversation we were having at the dance?" She asked and after finally composing himself the boy nodded.
"Sure. So...any family? I mean, obviously but do you have siblings or anything?" He asked and they settled themselves back against the pillows comfortably as they faced one another.
"Ugh yes. I have this wench of a sister called Petunia who hates me..."
"Petunia and Lily? I'm going on a limb here but does someone like flowers in your household?" James quipped and the girl sighed as she nodded.
"Bloody mother thinks they're nice. I dread to think what she would've called her son if she had a boy."
"Cactus." James said suddenly and Lily laughed, "No seriously, I could totally see that. 'Cactus Evans, the meanest pinball player in town'!"
Lily was still laughing, as he looked down at her grinning, chuckling every now and again as he felt happy butterflies in his stomach. She really was beautiful when she laughed.
Lily smiled at James as she observed the lop-sided smile on his face that really brought out the twinkle in his eyes.
He really was a good guy.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
AN: The first scene is very Merry and Pippinish but it was just a filler, I'm not trying to steal movie credits. Thought I should mention that lol! Plus to anyone who like Aragorn slash there is one in my favourite stories section by a wonderful author and that had made me fall in love with Aragorn/Faramir as a couple...I might even write my own!
Thanks to:
Malfoyscutie: Lmao why thank you! And um...I guess milk chocolate is my fav!
Kynny: Lol, thank you. The Achilles and Patroklos stories (theory) are one of my favourites although notice he isn't mentioned in the film 'Troy' lol! And oh good, I'd hate to step on any author toes here with stolen plot lines. I'll have to nosey at your 2 OC's, they really are tricky buggers but when they go right...
Passionflower: I know! We have like sales EVERYWHERE right now and slowly but surely I will make myself skint (bad idea if I'm thinking about University accommodation lol). And you're right, our proms SUCK LMAO! It's all about the dress for us because once that's out of the way it really is down hill from there!
Idril.Tinuviel: Ah don't we all!
Legolas19: Nah I don't think my mum likes my rock collection but then I share her passion in Jazz and Norah Jones so it's ok...I really am a music buff lol!
Emerald Tigress: ...I'm not quite sure how to take that but I –guess- it was a compliment (I can laugh nervously now right?).
Hp-Azn: Hmm I basically summed it up in the chapter lol. I guess the plot- line is that Achilles always favoured Patroklos over all his lovers but he still had many but where he threw a hissy fit when one of his slave girls was taken from him he was truly heart broken when Patroklos was killed so he finally went to battle for the Greeks for revenge. Upon meeting his death he was reunited with his love and for him at least it all ended happily. As for angst, I'm working on that lol!
Suzuka West: Aye when I think of the Weird sisters I think of 'Josie and the Pussycats' with PMT LMAO!
Yaoi-is-gay-13: Ahhh it all makes sense now, thanks lol.
Taykayo, the flower boy: Aye, the world can really be a hateful place (To quote the band 'LIARS', "Fear is a very powerful emotion") and I guess that's why I seek Wicca, because it looks for beauty in even the most shadowed person. As for meeting your very own Sirius, don't we all LMAO! I once went out with a guy who seemed very feminine in character who not long after we went out came out as gay but we were friends afterwards, but he used to have problems with boys 'backing off' from him too so I know how you feel about that. I really liked your poetry, do you write any regularly? Because you should, that was very good and I encourage it. I might consider using it and dedicating the chapter to you of course lol!
Adhara1: I love mythology, I'd love to teach it! And aye, that scene in OOTP when Lily threatens James to defend Snape I felt you could've easily exchanged her for Harry and still get the same result.
Happo: YAH FOR YOU LMAO! Did it go well? I hope so. And tell me about it, I think that's a very romantic story. Romeo and Juliet is good but they –were- teenagers and the amount of times I've –fallen- in and out of love leaves me in question about that so the fact that Achilles and Patroklos shared a same fate is good for me.
Obviously Oblivious: LMAO I agree you do read some and think "...That's not how she is though".
Kitarin: Ah the outrageous people are usually the worst romantics of all lol! And I'm sorry but it's true, the Greeks did anything LMAO!
Avain: Het couples I tolerate, hmm. I don't usually like the Ginny/Harry ones because they all make her out to be either really shy or perfect. If I was to write her I would make her out to be more of a tomboy, she has after all grown up in a house full of brothers. Where some might say she craves to the 'little girl' that really wouldn't happen because she'd adapt to playing at wrestling or climbing trees. So it distresses because she can be a cool character in her own right if done properly, and the same situation to Lily...I just ranted then didn't I? (Sorry)!
White-winged Sidhe: LMAO Aw...I love you too...(?) LMAO
Super Yam: (Entranced) aubergines...
Lilastar: Wow way to boost my ego lol! Aye, very much human with the ranting at my breaking down laptop and straining for scene fillers lol. I'm glad you like it so much, I feel like I'm doing something educational when I slip in the poetry or mythology because you all either ask more or discuss it further with me which is so nice!
Callista Silverheart: The Achilles and Patroklos story is one of many theories but it's my favourite one as it has the most passion behind it. And poor you, I –hate- when I burn but I'm half-Scottish so it's like our birthright to go red under the sun lol!
Elrohir Lover: (Smirks as she rubs at sloppy kiss on cheek) ugh boy slobber lol (JK)! I think I've done alright, my final piece was a big drawn image of Harry Potter (I sent a picture of it with a letter explaining it to JK Rowling saying thanks for giving me an art subject lol).
Akuma MalicK: Aye go, read as much about them as you can! There's also Alexander and his boyfriends, Apollo and his, Zeus and Ganymede TONS of them!
Lost Book: Aw I'm glad you like those lines, maybe I should write for a cheesy romance novel LMAO! £1 a book lol! As for the head thing (runs off to measure head...I really am) it's five inches in width...is that big? (Looks around...sister shrugs confused).
Jaleandra-la-lok: Lol thank you. As for the poem it's gone from me, I thought it was part of the 'For Jerusalem' but I checked my Blake's works and I couldn't find it. It's really nice and I like it too.

White-winged Sidhe: LMAO Aw...I love you too...(?) LMAO
Super Yam: (Entranced) aubergines...
Lilastar: Wow way to boost my ego lol! Aye, very much human with the ranting at my breaking down laptop and straining for scene fillers lol. I'm glad you like it so much, I feel like I'm doing something educational when I slip in the poetry or mythology because you all either ask more or discuss it further with me which is so nice!
Callista Silverheart: The Achilles and Patroklos story is one of many theories but it's my favourite one as it has the most passion behind it. And poor you, I –hate- when I burn but I'm half-Scottish so it's like our birthright to go red under the sun lol!
Elrohir Lover: (Smirks as she rubs at sloppy kiss on cheek) ugh boy slobber lol (JK)! I think I've done alright, my final piece was a big drawn image of Harry Potter (I sent a picture of it with a letter explaining it to JK Rowling saying thanks for giving me an art subject lol).
Akuma MalicK: Aye go, read as much about them as you can! There's also Alexander and his boyfriends, Apollo and his, Zeus and Ganymede TONS of them!
Lost Book: Aw I'm glad you like those lines, maybe I should write for a cheesy romance novel LMAO! £1 a book lol! As for the head thing (runs off to measure head...I really am) it's five inches in width...is that big? (Looks around...sister shrugs confused).
Jaleandra-la-lok: Lol thank you. As for the poem it's gone from me, I thought it was part of the 'For Jerusalem' but I checked my Blake's works and I couldn't find it. It's really nice and I like it too.
