The next morning, Romulus hummed happily as he and his friends walked through the halls of the school. They were practically the only ones inside, as there was a Quidditch match today, but Romulus wasn't particularly interested in going to the game, as it was between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and he didn't care who won. What he did care about was the fact that he knew his brother, Remus, would be watching match, and that those idiot friends of his, Potter and Black, would be playing. That meant that with the exception of that fat lump of a kid, Pettigrew, Remus would be alone. Romulus really couldn't wait to give his younger brother his 'birthday present'. He thought it was one of the best ideas he'd ever come up with, and really couldn't see why Remus continued to act as though he didn't like it.
Romulus had realized before he'd even started at Hogwarts that he was bisexual, but it had taken him until Christmas of his fourth year of school to accept the fact that he also happened to be attracted to his own brother. In fact, for reasons even he couldn't understand, Remus tended to turn him on even more than anyone else ever had. Romulus was well aware of the fact that most people would not approve of his feelings for his younger brother, and he felt quite lucky to have friends who not only didn't have a problem with said attraction, but also wanted to help him get Remus.
Both of them were gay, and were very attracted to Remus. Of course, Daniel hadn't really seen what was so special about the young Gryffindor until earlier this year. He and Remus were both Prefects, and although they rarely saw each other because they were in different years, both had the opportunity to use the Prefect's Bathroom. Daniel had come back from a visit to said bathroom one night around Halloween telling Romulus about how he'd seen the light so to speak. He'd walked into the bathroom without knocking, only to find Remus taking a bath. The boy was, of course, naked, and Daniel had had plenty of time to check him out before being seen. He'd been forced to agree that Remus was indeed quite sexy, and from then on, all three Ravenclaws had taken every opportunity they had to get a good look at the younger boy.
Walking toward the entrance hall, Romulus smiled as he remembered the time that he'd finally come to the conclusion that he was in love with his brother. It had been over the summer holidays, right after his fifth year. He'd been busy celebrating his 10 OWLs that he'd just received, when Remus returned home from visiting one of his friends. The full moon wasn't for another three weeks, and so Remus was looking particularly healthy at the time. Romulus wasn't really sure what had made him realize how he truly felt about the other boy, but he decided it really didn't matter. As soon as he'd come to that conclusion, Romulus had begun to plan a life after Hogwarts with his future lover. The idea that Remus might not want that, that he might not even be attracted to men, had never occurred to him. He was positive that Remus would soon realize that he returned his brother's feelings, and that he did indeed want Romulus to be his mate.
It was for this reason that Romulus had become so angry when he'd learned that his younger brother was involved in a romantic relationship with that ugly idiot of a blood traitor, Sirius Black. Romulus wasn't worried that Remus would tell Black, or any of his other friends about what they (he refused to consider what he did rape, as he was absolutely convinced that his brother actually wanted it) did together. After all, Remus was already considered an outcast for being both a werewolf and gay, who would want to hang around with a gay werewolf who was in love with his own brother? Romulus also couldn't care less about the fact that both Potter and Black tended to be fiercely overprotective of the people they cared about. He and his friends weren't about to let those little gits keep them from having fun with the sexy young Gryffindor. That was why Romulus was so happy today. Not only was today the day that he and his friends planned on having their way with the other boy, but Remus' friends were all going to be busy. Or at least, the friends of his who could actually stop them were busy. Pettigrew wasn't much of a threat, and therefore Romulus didn't even consider worrying about him.
Romulus, Michael, and Daniel all smiled broadly as they walked outside towards the Quidditch pitch. They were heading towards the Gryffindor stands with the intention of finding Remus. They knew the other Gryffindors wouldn't stand by and watch one their housemates be harassed, so the three boys had come up with a plan for luring Remus away from the pitch. There was no way the plan could fail.
A/N: Sorry this is so short, but I'm just setting up for the next, (and probably last) chapter. Not to worry, though, Romulus and his posse will get what's coming to them!
