Chapter 5: Remus Meets his Match

May 2nd 1981

2 hours later…

Remus was sitting on the bed, considering his next move. Amy was grinning. She knew that he could do nothing. She had a werewolf at her mercy.

"Are you going to do something?" She asked, knowing full well that he couldn't.

Sighing, he picked up.

Amy grinned as she placed a red 4 down.

"Uno!" she said happily.

Remus put down a yellow 4, hoping that she couldn't do anything. He sighed again when Amy put a Wild down. He looked upset so Amy did the only thing that might cheer him up. She tackled him, kissing him as she did. He smiled and Amy realised that he had been tricking her. He had purposely looked upset. She slapped his arm and climbed under the covers, pretending to be asleep. He joined under the covers and slipped his arms around her.

"Big day tomorrow. We have to finish packing," Amy said, snuggling back into Remus.

"Love you, Amy"

"Love you too, Remus"

May 4th 1981

Sirius shot out of bed and grabbed his robe. He then took his wand and Apparated to the Potter's house. Running up the stairs, he jumped on the bed, being careful not to step on Lily. He wasn't really worried about James, who had been jumped on nearly every day while they were at Hogwarts.

"Up, get up. We're going to Australia today," Sirius sang, before jumping off the bed to get Harry who had woken up when he heard his dad yell out after being stepped on by Sirius. Lily smiled as the two came into the room. Sirius, the big, bad, tough mischief maker from Hogwarts was carrying his tiny, nine-month-old godson. Sirius gently lowered Harry onto the bed, waited until he had crawled into Lily's arms (Harry, not Sirius), and jumped onto James, squishing him. Sirius grinned as James yelled out in pain; Sirius had landed on his stomach.

"That's it, you're dead Sirius Black!"

"Bring it on Potter"

James was about to lunge at Sirius when he felt a hand slap his back. He turned around to see Lily looking at him angrily. She looked pointedly at Harry and James saw that he was a bit upset. James hurriedly took his son in his arms and gave him a hug.

"Don't worry, Harry. Daddy's only going to mortally wound Uncle Paddy, not kill him" James told the worried boy.

Sirius glared at James, "Thanks Prongs. I appreciate it."

"So you should, Padfoot. I'm only doing it for Harry."

Lily smiled at the playful banter between the two best friends. If Remus was here, Lily thought, Sirius and James would stand no chance. Remus had the ability to annoy his friends greatly, always using their "intelligence" against them. While James and Sirius had been two of the cleverest in their year at Hogwarts, Remus had been top of the class in every year. Remus was able to confuse Sirius easily and he could confuse James as well, knowing that the best way to annoy James was to hand him Harry with a dirty nappy. If there is one thing James can't do, it's change a diaper.

Speaking of their favourite werewolf, Remus had just arrived at the Potter residence. Except it wasn't James and Lily's house. It was the senior Potters, James' parents, Alexander and Josephine.

"Hello? Mr and Mrs Potter? Anyone home?" Remus called into the Living Room.

"Hello Master Remus," the little House-Elf, Indira, called. Indira belonged to James' parents, her family had served the Potter family for many generations. While many of the Potters had disliked the idea of a species being in the servitude of another, the House-Elves had always been treated well. Indira had cared for James since he was 2, and was now a member of the family. It was Indira that had made Lily's wedding dress, and it was Indira that had cared for Harry while Lily and James were in hospital. That was a really hard time, Remus thought, James had pneumonia and Lily had bronchitis, neither illness was able to be treated completely by the Healers. Luckily Harry had about twenty people trying to look after him. Unluckily, they all wanted to take him to their house to care for him. As he was Harry's Godfather, Sirius had decided that Harry would stay with his grandparents one week and with himself the next week. Luckily he had taken charge, or Harry would have been at Hogwarts ten and a half years too early. If Sirius hadn't taken charge, Albus would have. And that would not have been good for Harry.

Remus looked at he House-Elf in her red satin pillow case.

"Indira, where are Mr and Mrs Potter?"

"Master and Mistress are out shopping. Can Indira help Master Remus?"

"Just ask them if they can collect James, Sirius and my letters for the time we are gone, please. If they can't..."

"Indira will collect Master James, Master Sirius and Master Remus' mail. Indira will also feed Mistress Lily's cat, if she would like."

"That would be fantastic Indira. Thank you," Remus said, smiling at the excitable, helpful House-Elf.

"Indira is pleased to help."

Remus gave the House-Elf another thank you smile as he Apparated away.

TBC…

A/N: For all those interested, I decided to give the Potters a House-Elf and the name comes from the Cairo Jim series, by Geofferey McSkimming. All of the information that I use is either made up, or comes from A Muggle's Guide to the Wizarding World, by Fionna Boyle. And of course the brilliant mind of the genius called JK Rowling.

Please Review. Any comments welcome. Especially if you have any ideas for what mischief the Marauders can get up to in Australia. Please keep in mind that the story will focus in Victoria, specifically Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Only because I am a Victorian and that's my area.
