A/n: Hey! I hope you all enjoy this chapter. We're getting into OOTP from here on out, so…. Enjoy! R/R!

A/n2: I'll have to alter things in this story a bit to fit the OOTP storyline… Just… follow along… or try to… I promise not to try to make it too confusing.

Black lambs don't lie: Lol, interesting name, and I like your enthusiasm. Well, sorry, I am using the OOTP story line, and I'm not really writing too much into HBP (Book 6 – Half-Blood Prince) if at all… I might, might not, it all depends… Anyway, when I kill off Sirius, feel free to flame me as long as you tell me one good thing about the chapter.

Chapter 5

The next week, Dumbledore had owled Remus and Sirius at Remus' place and oked everything. He told them that there was a few things that he had to clear up, and he would talk to everyone in turn about it. He set up a time for him to floo them at Remus' house, to tie up the loose ends. When that day came, Sirius and Remus stood in front of Remus' fireplace and waited for Dumbledore to contact them, and contact them he did.

"Hello, how are you two this fine evening?"

"Fine, Albus." Remus said. "Now what did you want to talk to us about?"

"I just want to make sure that I have everything right before I finalize everything." Albus explained. "Now, Sirius – the address of Black Manor is 12 Grimmauld Place in London, correct?" Sirius nodded. "Ok, good, and it was agreed amongst us and the other old Order members that I talked to that I be the Secret Keeper of the Order." Both of the younger men nodded. "Alright then. I've contacted all of the old members, and told them that I would tell them the location after I had to talked to everyone, which would be you two."

"Alright." Remus said.

"Everything's alright with you two?" Dumbledore asked.

Sirius and Remus looked at each other, smiling. "Yes, everything's fine, Dumbledore." Sirius said to him.

"Ok, that's good." Dumbledore said. "I will do the Fidelius Charm tonight, and then tell everyone the location of the new Order Headquarters tomorrow."

They nodded. "Alright," Remus said.

"Ok, then," said Dumbledore. "You two be good now, and I'll owl you when everything's done. By the way, Sirius, where's Buckbeak?"

"Oh, he's tied up outside in these woods near this house." Sirius said. "He went there when I got here, and seemed to know that he needed to stay there. There's not enough room in here."

Dumbledore nodded. "Just thought I'd check." He sighed. "Well, gentleman, I'd better be going. I'll talk to you both soon. Goodbye."

"'Bye, Dumbledore."

"Goodbye, Albus." Remus said.

A few days later, Albus contacted them and said that all was well, writing them on separate pieces of paper the location of the new Order Headquarters and then instructing them to burn it, which they did.

They both went there, with Buckbeak, and groaned at the site of the place. It was in really bad shape…. No one had obviously lived in it in years since Sirius' mother died. Then, suddenly….

Sirius and Remus covered their ears as the sound of Sirius' mother's voice filled the house, screaming.

"What in the bloody hell is that?" Remus screamed, trying to be heard.

"You mean who!" Sirius yelled back, and Remus looked at him, confused. "It's my mother!" Remus' eyes widened.
"Maybe if we're quiet, she'll shut up!" Remus nodded.

They stood there, quiet as could be, and after a few minutes the painting didn't stop screaming, and Sirius felt his anger boiling as she yelled her filthy insults at the two of them.

"Shut up!" Sirius screamed, but she didn't. "I SAID SHUT UP, DO YOU HEAR ME!" Sirius groaned and the painting stopped shrieking. "She always did complain too much."

Remus looked at him in surprise. "She and you father always seemed like pleasant people."

"Ah, they were.. sometimes… especially around other people, they were very pleasant, but they had a tendency to be prejudiced like a bunch of other pureblood families." Sirius explained. "I hated that part of them, and they knew it. I thought differently than they did, and they didn't like it." Sirius took a deep breath. "My father was really the only thing holding our family together. My mom disagreed with some of my father's thoughts and stuff, but played along because she loved him. After he died…"

"She felt that she didn't have to keep playing, and she could let what she really thought show through…" Remus finished.

"Right," agreed Sirius. Sirius sighed. "Anyway…." He then looked around again. "This place is in bad shape."

"Yes, it is." Remus agreed, looking around. "How long has it been since someone has lived here?"

Sirius kept looking around and shrugged. "I don't know for sure, but I expect that it's probably been about 10 years or so, since my mother died, from what I've gathered since I escaped from Azkaban."

Remus nodded. "I see." He sighed. "I'm getting tired, so I'm going to go back home, ok?"

"Ok," said Sirius. They heard the familiar sound of Albus' voice and suspected that he was checking up on Sirius and making sure everything was ok. They walked to where they saw his head in the fireplace.

"Hello." Albus said. "I see that no one has lived here in quite a while…" His eyes searched what he could see from where he was. "Anyway, everyone that was in the Order has gotten the location of the new headquarters, and we've even gotten a few new inductees that some of the older members thought would be a good addition."

"They can be trusted?" Remus asked.

"They've already been checked out." Albus said, smiling. "Oh, and by the way, I thought it would be best for Arthur Weasley and his family to come live here."

Remus and Sirius looked at each other, and then back at Dumbledore. "Why?" Sirius asked.

Dumbledore gave a soft smile. "I think it's best, and I think they would be safer here than in their house."

Sirius and Remus exchanged another look. "Well, if you think it's best Dumbledore." Sirius said. "From what Harry has told me, they're really nice people."

"Yes, they are." Dumbledore said.

Remus also agreed. "Yes, they are very nice. But the twins, Fred and George, are a bit of a hassle."

"Indeed," Dumbledore agreed.

"Harry's told me about them, too." Sirius said.

Dumbledore took a deep breath. "I would love to stay and chat, but, I do have things that I must do. I will talk to you both later. Oh, and by the way, Sirius, Arthur said that he and his family would be here soon, by the end of the week at the latest. I told them that you would be moving in today, and that you might want sometime to yourself, to settle in, before Arthur, Molly, and their whole family moved in here."

"Alright." Sirius said. "That's fine."

"Goodbye, Sirius. Goodbye, Remus." And then Dumbledore was gone.

Remus turned to Sirius. "You know what he meant "settle in", don't you?"

Sirius turned to Remus and smirked. "Of course." The look he gave Remus made Remus blush.

"You know, for an old man, he certainly doesn't waist any time teasing two full grown men about their relationship. He's not subtle about it either."

Sirius laughed. "No, that is the truth. He enjoys teasing us."

"Always has." Remus agreed. "Anyway, I am going to go home now. I'm tired, and I want to go to sleep."

"You won't stay here and sleep with me?" Sirius said, pouting.

Remus smiled. "No. Not tonight."

"Come on, Remus, why not?" Sirius insisted. "What difference does it make what house we're in? It's not like anyone else is here."

"Oh, Sirius. I'm not staying in this house overnight. Not just yet." Remus said. "I promise, though, love, if you can make it more habitable, I'll reconsider." Remus gave Sirius a kiss.

"Alright." He said. "I'll hold you to that." Sirius kissed him again, but deeper. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Remus said. "I'll see you tomorrow." And after that he left.

To his word, Remus did come the next day, but he didn't want to stay. Sirius had done absolutely nothing to make the place any more presentable, not that he knew where to start.

Sirius had moved Buckbeak into the room where he was staying. They stayed up there that day, and Remus brought what little food that he had back in house.

"Thank you, but you didn't have to." Sirius said.

"Yes, I did. What, did you think I was going to let you starve?" Remus said, sitting down next to Sirius, who was sitting up against a wall.

"What are you going to eat?" Sirius asked. "You don't have much money."

"I'll manage." Remus said, smiling sweetly. "I always do."

"So will I. I've managed." Sirius pointed out, as he kissed Remus. Remus gladly kissed him back.

Remus broke the kiss, and said, "Go ahead and eat," but Sirius insisted on sharing some with Remus, so the two of them ate, then went back to kiss some more. Remus felt Sirius' hand going underneath his shirt, but made not attempts to stop him. Sirius pushed Remus on his back. Sirius slowly unbuttoned Remus' shirt. They went on like that, snogging, until Remus left, again.

They had already had several run ins with Kreacher. Kreacher hated Sirius, and didn't much care for Remus either. But Kreacher listed to Sirius, although reluctantly.

The next day, Sirius was walking around the house. He didn't like being in that place alone. Too many memories. Sirius heard just then a soft knock on the door. Wondering who it was, he walked to the door, and opened it to find Molly Weasley, who had knocked on the door. Arthur and the children were right behind her.

"Hello, Sirius." Molly Weasley greeted. She obviously remembered their first meeting a couple months back.

"Hello." Sirius said in return.

"Hi, Sirius!" Ron said cheerfully, smiling at Sirius. "It's good to see you again."

Sirius smiled in return. "Hello, Ron. It's good to see you again, too."

Arthur held out his hand to Sirius. "Hello, Sirius."

"Hello." Sirius said as he shook Arthur's hand. "Please, come in, but I warn you, you're not going to like what you see." Sirius led them in and everyone gasped in shock at the horrid state of the house.

Molly was appalled. "How do you live here?" She asked. "This place isn't fit for anything to live in!"

" I know." Sirius said. "I tried to get Kreacher – he's the house elf that lives here – to clean things, and he says he does, but…. As you can see-" If Sirius had remembered about his mother's painting, he might have tried to Molly from shouting like she did, but… he didn't, and at that moment, the painting started shrieking, much to Sirius' dismay.

Sirius buried his face in his hands, and then looked at the group of red heads before him, all covering their ears.

"What is that?" Molly yelled as Sirius' mother continued to shout shrieks at them.

"My mother's painting." Sirius said, yelling as well to be heard. Sirius growled. "WOULD YOU SHUT UP, YOU STUPID, OLD HAG!" This time the painting didn't stop. "I SAID SHUT UP! NO ONE CARES!" Much to the relief of the people standing there, and to Sirius, the painting did stop.

"That's going to be a problem." Arthur said.

Sirius nodded. "I hope it'll come off." He said. "I don't want it there shouting insults at me and everyone else who is in this house."

"I agree." Arthur said.

"Something will have to be done about that." Molly agreed.

The children just nodded their heads in agreement.

"So, where are the bedrooms?" Molly asked.

"Upstairs." Sirius said, pointing up the stairs. "The first one of the right is mine."

The Weasley's got settled, and after a couple days, their routine had set in, but it was clear that Molly did not agree with the way Sirius thought. That became clear fairly soon. Overall, everyone got along, and they didn't argue very much, but they did go head to head once, and once was all it took for the other people in the house to see that they just didn't agree.

Remus showed up later on that first day, and only took two days, as Remus came over every day, for Molly to find Sirius and Remus shamelessly flirting with each other in the Kitchen waiting for her to finish cooking breakfast. She gave both of them a piece of her mind, to which Sirius gladly argued back, remarking that they were "full grown men, and allowed to do what they wanted." To which Molly replied, "Sirius, there are children in the house. Please, for once, think about someone besides yourself." To which a whole other argument started that Remus ended by saying, "Molly, Sirius, please, unless you want to wake up everyone else in this house, and that blasted painting, would you two please stop arguing." Sirius and Molly both agreed that Remus was right.

The twins, who turned 17, were using magic (and Apparation) at every possible opportunity, much to the dismay of their mother. Not long after, Hermione was invited to stay at Grimmauld Place. Order meetings soon started, and Sirius was not happy to find out that Snape was there, and that his information was considered "important" to Dumbledore, and to the Order. Indeed, Sirius couldn't understand why Dumbledore even trusted him.

Overall, Order meetings went pretty well. Fred and George wanted to be in the Order, but Molly and Arthur refused to let them in. So, Ginny, Ron, Fred and George all tried to somehow spy on the Order meetings in order to find out what was going on.

Generally, things went pretty well. But, slowly, all of the Order members that came over fairly often found out about Sirius' relationship. (They're just a little too obvious for people who have been around.) Neither Sirius nor Remus was very happy about that, but really, what could they do?

One night, when Remus was getting fed up with it, and fed up with not being able to spend more time with Sirius (to which Sirius getting fed up with as well), Sirius just simply took him in his arms, whispered, "It's alright, love, it's alright. We can deal with this. Don't worry." He then kissed Remus', and Remus calmed down. "I'm getting fed up with it, too, love. I wish you could be with me more."

Remus smiled sweetly at Sirius. "I think we got spoiled when you were staying at my house."

Sirius smirked. "I think you're right." Sirius then kissed him again, and with the other people in the house, Remus excused himself, and went home.

A/n: I'm not really happy with this chapter, but… sighs I tried to find a good way to end, and this seemed like the best way. I hope this chapter wasn't totally bad, and I'll try and update sooner. (I have no idea when the last time I updated was.) Anyway, I hope that this chapter wasn't that bad, I promise to have more Sirius/Remus in upcoming chapter than what I had in this one. I don't know how much I'll have in the next chapter, but I'll definitely have some in the chapter after that.
