James Potter yawned and sat up in bed; he stretched and ruffled his jet-black hair, a habit he'd had most of his life. When he stepped out of bed, his foot hit something hard that wasn't the floor. He looked down and saw the books that Sirius had gotten out of the library. He rolled his eyes and picked them up, placing them on his bed; he pulled back the curtains around his four-poster bed and walked to the bathroom. When he came out, he saw Sirius was leaning against the wall, waiting for him.

James looked at him and Sirius said, "Are you going to read them?"

James sighed but nodded, "Sure, why not?" he said and walked back to his bed.
He picked up the top book and walked into the empty Common Room. James slumped into an armchair and looked at the cover of the book, it read, "How to Recognize a Werewolf…and other Dark creatures". He opened it and flipped through a few pages before he noticed that pages had been marked off by Sirius. One page that was marked off explained the lunar system and Sirius had scribbled, "Gone once a month, usually scratched and ill after." He flipped to the next section that was marked off and it was about the heightened senses, Sirius had written, "Good eye sight, hears EVERYTHING," James sighed and slammed the book shut, this was insane, there was no way that Remus was a werewolf.

(Next Week)

James chuckled at a joke from Peter, as he helped himself to some pudding. It was the day before holidays so they were having the annual feast; Chicken, ham, pudding, treacle tart…the works. There was a shriek and, what seemed like hundreds of owls flocked into the Great Hall. James's brown tawny owl swooped down landing on the table, he stuck out his leg, which had a package and letter attached to it. He smiled gratefully and opened the letter first. He skimmed it with his hazel eyes and grinned, "Ah, mum gave me permission for you to come for the holidays mate," he said to Sirius, who smiled appreciatively. "You two can visit also, if you'd like."

Peter smiled, "Of course!"

A first year boy with slightly long, feathery brown hair, walked by the Gryffindor table, wearing silver and green robes, a serpent stitched onto the left side of his upper chest.

Sirius frowned and grabbed the boy's arm, "Regulas, tell mum I'm staying at James's for Christmas…not that she'll care where the hell I am." He added quietly.

Regulas rolled his eyes, "Whatever." and hurried to take his seat at the Slytherin table.

James gave Sirius a sympathetic smile and Sirius gave a 'forget-about-it' shrug, so James said, "Ooo, what's this?" as he tore open the package, four silver frames fell out, he picked one up; it was of Sirius, James, Peter and Remus that was taken last year at the Potter Household. Sirius was making "bunny ears" behind Remus and James was clearly laughing, while Peter just grinned toothily. He smiled, "I guess it's one for each of us."

Sirius, Remus and Peter each grabbed for one, smiling. However, when Remus touched his frame, he yelped in pain, and threw it back on the table.

"Whoa, mate, you ok?" Peter asked as Remus jumped up from the table.

"Yeah," he replied, "The…er…food didn't agree with me…I'll see you later." He said, running from the Great Hall clutching his hand.

Sirius looked at the entrance of the Great Hall, that his brown-haired friend had just run through then back at the frame, he picked it up and turned it over, it said "Sterling Silver." Sirius raised his eyebrows, showed it to James and gave him an," I-told-you-so" look before getting up and running after Remus.

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

"Remmy…?" Sirius said as he stepped into the Boy's Dorms.

"What?" came a voice from Remus's bed. Sirius walked over, pulled back the curtains and sat on the bed that Remus was lying, face down on. Sirius silently grabbed Remus's hand and examined it. It was burnt in the place where Remus had touched the silver, the skin was slightly bubbled, and it looked extremely sore.

"Ouch, you ok?" he asked and Remus nodded and said, "I…er…burned on the way up here, with…erm…the…"

"Remmy, don't lie to me, I know what really happened." Sirius said, keeping his voice calm.

"What, what are y-you talking about?" he asked, turning over, so he was now lying on his back, his head propped up on a pillow.

Sirius lied down next to Remus, "Remmy, come on, don't lie to me, I know you're little secret…you're a werewolf, aren't you?"

"…How'd you know?" he asked closing his eyes, as thought to block out the horrible thought.

"Your boggart, the mysterious disappearances, the silver burning you…and the sexual allure…" he added.

"Excuse me?" Remus asked, opening his eyes to stare at a smirking Sirius.

Sirius laughed, "Just kidding, look, I bet you didn't want to tell us, because you thought we'd treat you different, right?" Remus nodded and looked away, Sirius grabbed his chin and forced Remus to look at him, "Well, I won't"

"It's just, they treat me like crap, either they complain about me or they act like I'm not there, either way it's torture…" he said, pain evident in his voice as it cracked.

"Your parents?"

Remus nodded again and Sirius let go of his chin, but Remus didn't look away this time.

"Remmy, I understand that completely, I would think that you would know that by now." He said, a dark look passing over his handsome features.

"I know, I was just afraid you'd abandon me, like they did." Remus said, tears glistening in his beautiful eyes.

"Never…Don't ever forget that, ok? I would never abandon you…understand?" Sirius said forcefully. Remus nodded and Sirius grabbed him, pulling him into a tight embrace. Remus sobbed into his chest and they stayed like that for a good twenty minutes, until Remus broke away, wiped his tears and looked up at Sirius.

"Does anyone else know?" Sirius asked curiously.

"Lily." Remus replied simply.

"Lily Evans?" Sirius asked, looking slightly startled.

"Yeah, she's very nice, very understanding, I talk with her a lot in the library… she's a great person, and a very gifted witch. So, naturally she figured it out and asked me about it, so I broke down and spilled…and she hasn't told a soul."

"Well, neither will I, but I have to know this one thing…do you fancy her?" Sirius asked, nudging Remus slightly.

"Lily? God no! We're just really good friends. Besides, James would kill me!"

Sirius laughed and they both fell into a comfortable silence, taking in all that had just happened.

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

"That's my shirt you idiot!" James yelled and grabbed it from Sirius's grasp. Remus chuckled, 'Here we go, an infamous Sirius/James fight.' He thought, sitting on his bed, watching his friends pack for the holidays.

"Well, sor-ry, god forbid I take it when we're going to the same bloody house, you prat!" Sirius said packing some school books in his trunk.

"Oh I'm the prat?" James said throwing a sock at Sirius, it hit him squarely in the face; Sirius growled and shoved James. Frank groaned and picked up his packed suitcase and scurried out of the dorms before things got out of hand, as they always did when Sirius and James 'fought'.

"Don't shove me, you loser!" James yelled, grabbing at Sirius's ankles, seceding in tripping him.

"Stubborn jack-ass!" Sirius yelled, pulling James down to the ground with him.

"Git!" James retorted, and by this insult they were both rolling on the floor, wrestling each other.

"Ugly bastard!"

"You like guys!" James said kicking Sirius off him.

"So? You like Lily!"

"Hey, don't insult her, you nasty son of a bitch!" James yelled, hitting Sirius over the head. Remus rolled his eyes and got up to help Peter pack his things, seeing as his own stuff didn't need to be packed, because, he was staying at Hogwart's for the holidays; his parents didn't want to see him anyway.

"I'll insult her if I want you ugly fag!" Sirius yelled, poking James in the eye.

"You're a fat cow!"

"Why thank you, you stupid pig-headed toe-rag." Sirius said, smirking, sounding exactly like Lily.

James jumped up and ran towards the door.

"Come back, and fight like a man, you chicken!" Sirius yelled, running after him.

Peter burst out laughing and Remus chuckled, "They are bloody mad!" Remus said, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, and you know they will be perfectly good friends by the time we get on the train, right?" Peter said, shutting his trunk.

Remus chuckled, "Yep, you'll have to tell me how that goes."

"What? What do you mean?" Peter said, hoisting his trunk over to the doorway, never taking his eyes off of Remus.

"I'm going to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas, my parents won't be at home…" he lied.

"What? No way! Remus, why didn't you tell us, now you're going to be here all alone," Peter said, "Why don't you go to James house like Sirius?"

"Nah, I'll be fine, I'll find someone to hang out with." Remus replied; Peter opened his mouth to say something but they heard a shriek of laughter and a growl of irritation.

"Uh oh," Remus said, "Let's go get those two before they destroy all of Hogwart's." Peter sighed and they walked down the stairs to the Common Room. They saw that three girls, including Lily Evans, were cracking up and one was even rolling on the floor; Remus gave Peter a confused look, but found that his friend had joined the girls in laughter. He looked at where Peter's line of vision was and saw a very grumpy looking James, whose hair had changed from jet-black to a bubble-gum pink color. Sirius's was standing next to him, wand drawn, looking greatly pleased with himself. Remus jaw dropped and couldn't help but laugh along with the group.

"It's-like…your-boxers!" Lily choked out between fits of laughter and this made everyone (with the exception of James, of course) laugh even harder. James growled again and stormed upstairs, leaving everyone still clutching their sides laughing.

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

"Ah, Mooney, I wish you could come visit…" James whined standing in the door way of the Hogwarts Express; his hair was again back to jet-black. Sirius was inside the train, peaking just his head out and Peter was standing behind James, next to Remus.

"Sorry, I'm staying here, my parents are…away on business." he lied again. He snuck a quick glance at Sirius who gave him a knowing look and a small sympathetic smile. Remus returned this with a slight, discrete nod.

"Well, then, write everyday, ok mate?" James said, ruffling Remus's hair.

"Of course, see you in two weeks." Remus replied, and gave Peter and James both a high five/hug ((A/N you know what I'm talking about? lol When, they high-five then kind of hit each others chest and give a slap on the back lol Anyways))

"Come on, Siri, Pete, let's go find a compartment." James said walking by Sirius, his trunks in hand; Peter followed.

"Yeah, I'll be right there, I have to tell Remmy something," Sirius said and got off the train, to stand next to Remus, "Look, ah, good luck next week with the…you know…transformation." He whispered.

Remus gave him a weak smile, "Thanks, and thank you for not telling anyone, you're a great friend, you know that?"

"So are you, mate." Sirius said, lightly punching him in the chin, playfully. The train whistle shrieked and Sirius jumped, "Well, got to go, see you in two weeks, Remmy."

"Bye Siri, Happy Christmas."

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

Remus sighed and walked back to the Common Room, expecting it to be empty, but instead he found a first year, Alice Longbottom (A third year) and a certain red-head, who was sitting on the couch.

He grinned, maybe Christmas wouldn't be so bad after all, "Hey Lily," Remus said, sitting down next to her on the couch. She, of course, had a book in her lap, she looked up, "Oh hey, Remus, staying here for the holidays?"

"Yes, you?" he asked.

She sighed, "Yeah, my sister, Petunia, and I got in a fight…"

"Oh, I'm sorry, if it's any help, none of my friends but you are here for Christmas." Remus said, pouting jokingly.

She nodded, "Same here."

"So, want to stick together?" he asked, smiling.

She smiled back, "Sure, I'd like that very much."

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

"So, you going to forgive me anytime soon?" Sirius asked James, who looked up from the chess board where him and Peter were playing a fierce game of wizard chess.

"Yeah, forget it." James said, and Peter smirked. He got up, went to his bag and got a piece of paper and quill out. "What are you doing?" James asked him.

"Writing something to Remmy." He said and the other two boys gave him a strange look.

Remus,

Well, you were right, they are friends again, ha ha have a good holiday mate. We'll miss you!

-Peter

"So, what the hell is up with you randomly thinking Remus is a werewolf?" James asked as him Sirius lay in James's bed that night. It was two in the morning and they had been up talking since midnight.

"Oh, nothing, I think I was wrong about that, just forget about it." Sirius lied, uncomfortably.

"Ok?" James said, "So, who you got a crush on?" he asked, randomly.

Sirius snorted, "No one, I just broke up with Katie."

James rolled his eyes, even thought they were only in third year, Sirius had already dated at least five girls; that was more than all the Marauders put together…in fact, Sirius was the only one that had ever had a girlfriend.

"So, when you going to ask Evans out?" Sirius said, smirking.

"Oh please, I'm thirteen, my parents wouldn't allow it."

"Yeah right, you're bloody afraid to." Sirius said and rolled over and gave a loud, obvious fake snore, so James couldn't retort. James rolled his eyes and went to sleep.

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

"Hey Lily, Happy Christmas." Remus said, as a certain red-head came down the stairs in her pajamas and bathrobe.

She smiled at him, "Happy Christmas; here." She said handing him a package.

He grinned and ripped it open, and a book fell out, it said "Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice" on the cover.

"It's written by a muggle so, I thought it might be interesting to read…and since you're always reading, like me, I figured you'd like it…" Lily said.

He got up from the couch and gave her a hug (she blushed slightly), "Thanks Lils! I love it, hold on, stay right there, I'll be back" he said and scampered up the steps. He carried back with him a wrapped box. She opened it and smiled, it was a framed picture of Remus and her in front of the Christmas tree, they were both making quite silly faces.

"Er…I didn't have that much money so…" he admitted.

"No, Remmy, I love it, it's great, thanks!" she exclaimed, beaming at him.

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

"WAKE UP!" Sirius yelled in James ear, but James just rolled over with a groan, "Presents!" Sirius said, trying again but James didn't move. He sighed, and jumped on the bed by James head….nothing, he smirked, "Hey Jamesy-boy, Lily got you a gift!"

"What!" James said, sitting up quickly.

"Just kidding!" Sirius said and ran out the room, and James put his glasses on, jumped out of bed and ran after him. But before James could pound him they saw a mound of gifts under the tree, they grinned at each other and attacked them instead.

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

An hour later the boys have a mountain of wrapping paper and a bunch of gifts around them. James was admiring his new broom (from his parents), and had on a shirt that said, "A Marauder" on the front and a picture of all of them on the back, that Remus had made. A bag of dungbombs were at his feet (from Sirius) he was also munching on Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts (A gift from Peter). Sirius also had the same shirt on, he also had a bag of dungbombs (From James, great minds think alike), and candy, he was looking through a polishing kit for his (illegal) motorbike (another gift from James). "We should write to Remus" James said and Sirius got up to get a quill and paper, "Wonder what he's up to…"

(This is just a break in the page because you can't have a line)

Lily and Remus sat in front of the fire, a routine they had picked up over the last week together, "You know, James would kill me if he saw me with you." Lily rolled her eyes. "He really likes you, you know…" Remus said.

"Yeah, I know, and he's a prat." Lily said sighing.

"He not all that bad." Remus said, sticking up for his friend.

Lily sighed, "Well, I already like someone else," she said, and gave him a soft smile, before heading off to her dorms.
