Cheated - Chapter 26:

Remus was upset and very confused, he wasn't sure how he felt about what just happened. Once he was out of the hall he ran for a little longer and then slowed to a walk. What was he going to do?

Suddenly he heard footsteps coming up so he sped up, wanting to be alone.

"Hey, Rem, it's me! Slow down!" Someone yelled after him. Remus knew that voice it was Severus. He turned around and stopped for his boyfriend to catch up. When Severus caught up he asked, "Remmy, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am just not sure what to do."

"If you want to break up with me on account of you father I understand" said the dark haired boy nervously.

"Of course I don't want to break up with you! I can't believe you would even think of that! I love you!" Remus looked up into his boyfriend's eyes, giving him a look showing that he was telling the truth.

"Okay, sorry, I was just checking." He said putting his arm around Remus' shoulders and pulling him closer. Remus moved his head over so it was resting on his boyfriends shoulder.

Again they heard footsteps, but more than one pair this time. But they decided to ignore the people behind them so they kept walking.

"I have no idea what I am going to do now, hopefully my parents don't come and do anything about this. My mom might be okay about it, but I am afraid about what my father will do."

Severus was about to say something but was cut off by a voice from behind them. "Moony are you okay?"

The werewolf turned around and saw Sirius, James, and Peter. "Yeah, I will be fine, James."

"AW my Remus, what are you going to do?" Sirius said raising his hands up in the air and walking over to Remus. "You have been disowned, just like me!" He grabbed the werewolf and squeezed him as hard as he could. Severus was pushed back away from his boyfriend.

"Ugh…Siri…I can't…breathe!" Remus gasped out.

"What's that Remmy?" Sirius asked.

"He said he couldn't breathe damn it, now let go of him!" Severus snapped. He really didn't like the way Sirius hugging his boyfriend.

"Oh," he let go, "I'm sorry Rem."

"Padfoot, it isn't always the greatest thing to be kicked out of your family." James told Sirius, "especially for a reason like this."

"Oh, ugh well…never mind." He took a step back from his friend.

"It's okay, I don't mind too much. I mean I am going to miss my mum, but I don't think I will ever miss my dad." Remus said looking down.

"Where are you going to live this summer?" asked Peter from next to James.

"Well, I'm not sure yet, I haven't really had the time to think about it." Remus said thoughtfully.

"You can come live with me!" James and Severus said in unison. They looked at each other and glared.

"Well I would have to check with my parents, they are never home anyways so I don't think they would mind." Severus said.

"We have already taken in Sirius, so I don't think my parents would mind. She has always loved you." James suggested.

"Well I don't know what to say. You will both have to ask first, and are you guys sure you want me to live with you?" Remus asked.

"Of course!" James smiled.

"Yeah, don't you still want to live with me? I thought we already talked about this." Severus reminded the werewolf.

"Well we were talking about after Hogwarts. And yes, I would still love to live with you!" Remus smiled, leaning against the stone wall.

"Okay, just checking."

"I want Remmy to come live with us!" Sirius whined slumping his head.

"We'll see what happens in the next few days, it'll all work out." James said. "That howler was a bit harsh, sorry Moony."

"It's not your fault."

"How did your parents find out anyway? I told you to be careful." The messy haired boy said.

Severus blushed lightly and Remus smiled, "Well when we were flooing back to Hogwarts I spanked Sev as he jumped into the fire in front of my parents. Then I told them that I am gay and that Severus is my boyfriend, and then I jumped in."

"Why the hell did you do that for? Are you stupid, you were asking to be kicked out of your house!" James raised his voice. "I thought you were going to tell your parents when you move out."

"Well I was, but I just felt like it was the right time, I guess. Well I don't think so anymore but you know." Remus shrugged.

"Well there is nothing you can do about it now, can you?"

"Nope!"

"We should go to bed now, I'm getting kinda sleepy." Sirius announced yawning.

Everyone nodded in agreement; it was getting a bit late and almost past curfew time.

"Night Sev," Remus said giving his boyfriend a hug and a sloppy kiss on the lips. "Love you"

"Love you too, Remus"

"Ewww," Sirius whined turning away from them.

"It's not like you have never done it!" Remus said turning around and walked toward the Gryffindor Tower.

Sirius just ignored him and followed him along with James and Peter.

The next day at lunch all of the Marauders were sitting together eating happily.

"So Remus have you thought about where you want to live? I think it would be better if you lived with me. I mean, living with your boyfriend before you move out, I just don't think it's a good idea." James suggested to Remus.

"I haven't thought too much about it, I have all the way until summer anyway."

"You should-" James began to say but he got interrupted by Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Lupin, you parents are here to see you. Report immediately to the Headmaster's Office. Oh, and take Mr. Snape with you. I wish you luck, from what I heard yesterday, you're going to need it." She said with a worried look on her face.

Remus paled as their Head of House left. "What are they doing here? I didn't expect them for a while."

"We'll come with you Rem" Sirius said.

"No, there is no need. She didn't ask you to come, sorry." The werewolf said standing up and heading over to the exit of the hall, waving Severus over.

When Severus and Remus opened the door to the office they saw Dumbledore sitting patiently at his desk with Aidan and Cathrine seated across him.

"Hello Remus, Severus, I will be going now." The old man stood up and left.

"Well have you two broken up yet?" Aidan asked folding his arms over his chest.

"No we haven't broken up, and no we aren't going to break up." Remus told his father. He was still a bit pale and scared; he didn't want to talk about this.

"Well I order you to break up with him right now or I never want to see you again! I can't believe this!"

"I am not going to break up with him, there is nothing you can do to make me!"

"No you don't! This is just a phase you're going through. If you break up with him now, I will help find a suitable woman for you to marry and carry out the family name. You are my only son, you can't be gay." His father glared at Severus and began pacing around the room.

"This is not a phase I am going through. I have gone out with Sirius for a few years. We just broke up, and no, I don't like girls and I can always adopt!"

"Adopting isn't the same you little slut! Since when has Sirius been gay? I can't believe it! How many boys have you been sleeping with? Fifteen, maybe twenty?" Aidan raised his voice a bit higher.

Severus and Mrs. Lupin were just standing there, listening, afraid to jump into the conversation.

"No, I have only been with Sirius for about three years, then I broke up with him because he cheated on me. So now since the beginning of this year I have been with Sev." Remus shouted, he was about to cry; he didn't want his father to be so mad with him.

"So are you going to break up with that worthless Slytherin!" His father growled.

"Never, you bastard!" Remus yelled and before he knew it his father stormed over and slapped him across the face. Remus fell to the floor and Severus quickly ran over to his boyfriend.

"Don't you ever talk like that to me young man! You worthless piece of shit!" He was about to kick his son but Severus pulled out his wand and put him in a full body bind.

"Don't you touch him! He has done nothing wrong. Remus can't help that he is gay, just like me and even Black" He then turned to Remus. He had a big handprint across his face becoming more and more red. "Are you alright?"

Remus sat up, "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked over at his mother who watched in shock. "Mum, go get Dumbledore please."

"Remus baby, you don't really want you father to get arrested do you? You really want him to be in Azkaban for a while?" Mrs. Lupin asked, she looked pale and frightened.

The werewolf paused; did he really want his father in prison? How long would he be there for? But if he moved out anyways he would never have to see his father again, and his mother would be okay with his father. "Well…I guess not, I'm moving out anyways. Unless you don't want to live with him anymore?"

"I do want to be with him, and I also want to be with you too."

"Well I can come visit when he is at work during the summer. You will be able to see me then." Remus smiled, he didn't want to be completely cut out from his mother.

"Sounds fine to me. So your father will be going back to work and he will never see you again, you will move out, and visit me as often as you would like."

"That's okay with me. So you don't mind me being gay?" Remus said cautiously. He stood up with the help of Severus and stretched a bit.

"I don't mind at all, it's just that I will never have grand kids. I was looking forward to it." Mrs. Lupin sighed.

"Well I can always adopt a kid or two, but that's all in the future. Sorry about that mum."

"It's okay. So Severus, are you going to let my husband out of that body bind?" She asked.

Severus looked down at the man on the floor. "I don't want to when Rem is close to him. I don't want him to attack him or anything."

"Good idea. Remus I think you found the perfect boyfriend." She gave him a nice smile as the two boys blushed.

"Thanks mum." He walked over to giver her a hug. "I will come back to pick my things up when summer comes."

"Where do you plan on moving son?" Mrs. Lupin asked.

"Either with Severus or James." Remus answered.

"I don't know if I want you to be living with your boyfriend Remus."

"Mum don't worry about it, its not like me and Sev can get pregnant or anything." Remus said pulling away from his mum.

Cathrine looked shocked; she hoped that what her son said didn't mean anything by what he said about getting pregnant. "Well we best be going now."

The werewolf walked over to the door so his boyfriend could release his father. "Love you mum, see you later!"

"I love you too, take care!" she said as Severus walked over to his boyfriend by the door. He took off the curse and they exited the room

When they got to the hall, Severus asked, "Are you sure you want your father loose, he might come after you."

"I don't he would."

"You can never be too sure."

"I know, but I am pretty sure he wont. Well anyway I need to get back to the common room, my friends will be waiting to see what happened." Remus said.

"Hold on, we need to take you to Madam Pomfrey for the bruise that is forming on you face." He said checking out his boyfriends face.

"No, I don't want to have to explain where I got this from."

"Well I don't want you walking around with a huge bruise on your face, someone might think I did it."

"I am just walking up to my dorm, I have some healing bruise balm in my room. So I will be fine, you don't have to worry a bit."

Severus scowled, "What if your friends see? They don't know about your father."

"I will just tell them the truth. I'll see you at dinner." Remus said giving his boyfriend a hug and left.

When Remus got to the common room his friends were all sitting near the fire. "Hey Rem. How did it go?" Sirius said then he noticed the big bruise forming on Remus' face. "Oh my god! Moony, what happened to your face? Was it Snape, because if it was I will gladly kick his ass!"

The werewolf sighed; he should have guessed Sirius' reaction to what he looked like. "No it wasn't Severus."

"Then what Slytherin did it? I am serious." Sirius said standing up, getting ready to fight.

"Padfoot sit down! It wasn't a Slytherin either, it was…my father." He said putting his hand to his face. His friends looked at him shocked, "Now if you will excuse me I will go fix it up and I will be back down in a few minutes." He turned on his heal and walked out of the common room and into his dorm room.

After he left James asked, "Do you really think his father did that to him?"

"Of course I do, why would Moony tell us that his father did hit him if he didn't." Sirius reasoned.

"Well his father is an Auror, do you really think that an Auror would hit his own son? That's called child abuse! I hope he gets arrested!"

"Aw, my poor Remus, I wonder how long this has been going on. I will kick his fathers ass!"

"I hope it hasn't been like this too long, and Sirius, I really don't think that you should be trying to hurt an Auror, you could be sent to Azkaban." James warned his friend.

Just then Remus came down from the staircase, his bruise was still there, but would be gone in the next hour or two. "Hey guys, what's up?"

James decided to speak, "Um, Rem, why did your father hit you?"

"Oh, well I was arguing with him and he got really mad about what I said so he slapped me." He said simply like it was an everyday thing.

"Remus how long has this been going on?" James asked concerned.

"Ever since I became a werewolf."

"And you never told us?" hw asked incredulously.

"Yeah, sorry. Well I don't have to put up with him anymore. I worked it out with my mum, and I am going to be officially moving out. So I will never have to see him again." The werewolf said happily "Have you asked you Mum and Dad yet about me living with you until I can get my own place?"

"Yes, I sent the letter yesterday. It takes a while for my owl to fly there and then my parents have to think about it, and then send the replay, so it will be about three or four more days until I can get an answer. I am sure that they will say yes. I mean they just love Sirius and you. So it would be nice having you at my house." The messy haired boy said happily.

(Thank you so much Prongs, your such a great friend!"

(A/N: Hey I got a chapter done. I finally found some time to write. So who do you guys think that Remus is going to move in with 1) Severus Snape, or 2) James Potter?
