This is my first fanfiction ever so please be kind. Also, all the characters belong to J.K. Rowling (sadly) and the plot is based off her work too
"We're almost at the station, we should start cleaning up," stated Remus Lupin, as he stared at the pile of candy wrappers thrown over the compartment he was sharing with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew.
"Ugggghhhhhhh" bellowed Sirius Black, as he rolled his eyes and sunk deep into the plush seat he was sitting in, next to Remus. "Come on Moony" He whined as he gave his boyfriend puppy dog eyes.
"Sirius, I love you, but stop complaining. We don't want to get in trouble." Remus replies as he places a small kiss on Sirius's cheek. Remus watched as Sirius sighed, but still picked up a few wrappers.
"Oi! Prongs! Wormy! Get off your lazy asses and help." Sirius scolded his best friends.
"Jeez, no need to yell Paddy" James exclaimed tiredly, for he had just woken up from a nap. He too started to help clean the mess on the floor of their compartment. Remus, James, and Sirius had picked up all the trash, when they noticed Peter still curled up on the seat, fast asleep.
"Peter, wake up!" Remus exclaimed. Peter didn't move
"Wormtail, come on, get up." Tried James.
"WORMTAIL GET UP YOU LITTLE RAT" Sirius yelled. Remus and James chuckled. Miraculously, Peter still slept. Sirius looked at Peter, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes. "I think I know what we have to do," He said, a huge grin spreading across his face. Remus looked at his boyfriend, already knowing what he was thinking.
"Padfoot, no. We don't wanna hurt him." Remus said, as he looked at Sirius. Sirius' grin got wider. Remus looked over at James, hoping that he would help talk some sense into his best friend, but James just shrugged.
"Why not, it's not like we're gonna be able to wake him up any other way." James stated. Remus opened his mouth to reply, but shut it quickly, knowing that nothing he said would change the other boy's minds.
"Ugh, fine." Remus sighed, rolling his eyes. It didn't seem possible, but Sirius's grin seemed to grow even wider.
"Ok! On the count of three. One. Two," Sirius said, as the three off them lined up in front of a sleeping Peter, all of them bending their knees.
"THREE!" They squealed together, as they launched themselves into the air, falling on top of Peter. Peter jolted awake, causing all of them to fall off the seat, onto the floor of their small compartment.
"Oi! What the hell!" Peter exclaimed as he tried to untangle himself from the other marauders. The other three were rolling on the floor laughing, when Lily Evans walked to the door of their compartment.
"What are you boys doing here? You're causing an awful racket," she scolded playfully. When James saw her, he immediately stood, ran a hand through his mop of messy hair, and put an arm around his girlfriend's waist.
"Why, we were simply waking up Peter from a nap." He said, trying (and failing) to say this without smiling. Lily rolled her eyes, then proceeded to plant a kiss on James cheek.
"You boys are so silly. I just came to remind you guys that we're gonna reach King's Cross in about 5 minutes, so get ready. I'm so excited to go home, and not have to worry about homework. But I guess I still have to worry about Petunia. Ugh, she's awful to me every time I come home. It's not my fault she's not a witch!" Lily exclaimed.
"Don't worry, flower. If she even thinks of bothering you, just send me an owl. I'll make her stop." James said, pulling his girlfriend close. Lily chuckled, then proceeded to give James a big wet kiss on the lips.
"Oi! Get a room too!" Peter joked, while Remus nodded in agreement. Nobody noticed how Sirius had gone awfully quiet once Lily mentioned going home. The boys all got up from the floor, reorganized themselves, grabbed their trunks from the racks above them, and sat back down, ready to get off the train once they stopped moving. Once Sirius sat down, his leg started bobbing up and down, a nervous habit of his that only his closest friends knew about. James and Peter had somehow gotten into an argument about what the best type of candy was, so Remus was the only one who noticed Sirius's odd behavior.
"Hey love, are you okay?" He asked, as he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend. "You seem nervous." Sirius nodded his head reassuringly, afraid to speak for his voice might break. Only James knew about Sirius's situation at home, but even he didn't know how bad it was. Every time he came home, his mother and father seemed to hate him even more. Last summer was the first time they had used the cruciatus on him. By Christmas break, it was something they used on an almost daily basis. He shuddered as he remembered that pain, how for the following days after, he could barely get out of bed because his muscles were so sore, and so tight he could barely move. When he got back to school, he claimed he had just fallen down the stairs. After Christmas break, he and Remus got together. It was amazing, until Regulus caught the two of them snogging in one of the lavatories. Knowing Regulus, he guessed that he had written his mother about it. Sirius was terrified of what they would do to him for it. Sirius had been so lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the train slow to a stop, until his three friends all stood up, ready to exit the train.
"You coming Padfoot? James asked
"Huh? Oh, yeah sorry. I'm com'n." Sirius replied sheepishly. Sirius stood up, and grabbed his trunk. James wrapped his arm over his best friend's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.
"You alright mate?"
"Yeah, i'm fine, don't worry."
"Is it your parents? Don't forget you're always welcome at my place. My parents love you." Sirius didn't reply, but just smiled slightly, and stared down at his shoes. Then, it was time for them to get off the train. Remus led the way, followed by Peter, then James and Sirius, all of them trudging their trunks behind them. They all stepped on to the platform, and moved aside next to a big column where they could look for their parents without being in the way of others. Peter found his almost immediately. He gave his three friends hugs, promised to write, then left. Then Lily walks up to them, and James pulled her close to him, so they're facing each other.
"My parents are here, I wanted to say bye." Lily said while looking into James's hazel eyes.
"Promise to write? Hopefully we can get together sometime this summer."
"I promise love. I hope so too. I've got to go. I love you."
"Love you too flower." The two of them then gave each other a big kiss. Lily pulled away, smiling, and proceeded to give the other two marauders a hug.
"Be good boys. And don't you dare forget to write." Remus nodded, returning her hug, and Sirius attempted to smile. Then, she walked to her parents. The boys watched as she hugged her parents, while her older sister scowled at her, and left the station. James was the next to see his parents. He waved at them, and they waved back. He then pulled his remaining friends into a giant bear hug. Sirius hugged back tightly, knowing this was going to be the last he saw of his best friend for a while.
"If you guys don't write, I will personally come and stab you with my antlers." He whispered in their ears. This made Sirius chuckle slightly, and Remus busted out laughing. Then he was gone too, hugging his parents who loved him, and were happy to see him. Sirius couldn't help but feel slightly jealous that all his friends had loving families.
"Sirius, are you sure you're okay? You seem so sad." Remus asked, as he gently grabbed Sirius' arm to get his attention.
"I'm great, love. I'm just gonna miss you." Sirius leaned in to give Remus a kiss. For a second Remus was surprised, and didn't immediately return the kiss, but then leaned into it, almost greedily. He wanted to save this moment for as long as he could. He smelled Sirius's long soft hair, breathing in the scent of a campfire. He wrapped his arms around Sirius, remembering how the leather jacket felt against his calloused hands. Little did he know, Sirius was doing the same thing, trying to remember every detail of his boyfriend, from his bright golden eyes that seemed to sparkle, to his oversize sweater that was so soft to touch. How he smelled like new books, and steaming hot chocolate. He took in Remus' face, and the scars littered across it. Sirius whispered in Remus' ear,
"I love you so much Remus. I'm gonna miss you more than anything." Remus pulled away from the kiss, so he could look into his boyfriend's beautiful grey eyes.
"I love you too Sirius."
They stood there for what seemed like ages, trying to remember every detail of the person in front of them, when suddenly, Sirius's face shattered as he looked across Remus's shoulder. Walking right towards them, was Sirius's father, trailed by his mother and brother. Sirius quickly let go of Remus's hand, which he was unaware that he was holding. Sirius watched as his father's form came closer and closer, a scowl etched on his face.
"F- f- father" Sirius said shakily. Remus turned around, and his breath hitched slightly when he saw the towering form of Orion Black over him. Before Remus or Sirius could say anything, Orion had roughly grabbed Sirius's arm, which caused Sirius to yelp, and apparated away, leaving Remus by himself on the platform.
