Sirius' POV
He was mine. He was actually mine! He was wonderful. He was brilliant. He was perfect. And he was mine. I don't think I've ever smiled this much in my life. Regulus had sent word home to say I had found my mate but had not disclosed his identity, for which I was grateful. This was my news after all. The nurse had just let the two of us out of the hospital wing. I grabbed Remus' hand softly. I'd never get used to the feeling of his skin against mine. I loved it, it was like a drug.
We walked towards the Great Hall holding hands. Once we'd got there and the doors had opened it went silent. Every pair of eyes were on us and our clasped hands. A Gryffindor and a Slytherin together? I automatically pulled him towards the Gryffindor table. I knew he'd be most comfortable here. I helped him sit down and he blushed. Once I was sat next to him I picked up a plate for him and started to fill it with all his favourite foods. I don't know how I knew what was his favourite, but somehow I did.
I put the plate down infront of him and he blushed and put his head down. I frowned. Why was he embarrassed?
'Eat.' I said softly in to his ear. He blushed more but put his head up and started to eat slowly.
The hall erupted into noisy chaos. Everyone was shouting about it. Not really much to shout about I don't think.
'What are you doing little brother?' a voice asked. I turned around to see a furious James Potter glaring at Remus.
How dare he glare at my Remus! I was growling now.
'Why are you hanging around with this scum? Are you as stupid as you look?'
Remus had put his head down again, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. That's it. No one makes my mate feel like that. I growled loudly and pinned Potter to the nearest wall.
'Don't talk to him like that!' I roared.
Potter was trembling by now and I smirked. Then I felt something touch my shoulder. I turned around to see Remus looking at me with pleading eyes. I looked back towards Potter and then let him down. I huffed. Remus smiled and took my hand. He slowly led me away from all the stares and low whispers and we left the Great Hall hand in hand. We had caused enough chaos today.
