AN: I know I haven't updated in a while and I'm sorry. It isn't an excuse but my mum has been really poorly, and as her carer, she comes first. I know some of you have waited a while for this update and I know some of you will be disappointed by this update, but I had to get back into the swing of this story, don't worry the next chapter will be better :)
Remus' POV
I waved at mum and dad through the window as the train started to pull away. James smiled and left us in our own compartment, with instructions to find him if we needed anything or something went wrong. He was always worrying. I smiled as he left and pulled my mate down onto the seat with me. I rested my head against his shoulder and he put his arm around me.
'School sure is going to be different this year,' Sirius said quietly.
'It doesn't have to be,' I said, 'We're still the same.'
'I don't suppose they're going to make it easy though, they probably all know I'm no longer a part of my own family by now.' Towards the end of the sentence, his voice turned bitter.
I kissed him softly as I told him not to worry, that we would be okay.
After a few hours of idle chatter, the train pulled into the station. Sirius reached up and grabbed both of our trunks. I blushed, I was able to get my own! Sirius smirked at me and took my hand. We walked off the train onto the platform and were just starting to walk towards the carriages when someone barged into u roughly. I heard harsh laughter and frowned.
Sirius gritted his teeth and we joined James and his friends in a carriage. On the way to the castle, I saw Sirius nervously twiddle with his ring. I reached out and squeezed his hand. He smiled.
When we got to the castle, it was time for us to separate, we couldn't sit at the same table for meals. I pulled him in close and kissed him. Sirius held me tight and deepened the kiss slightly. James and his friend Peter wolf whistled and we broke apart. I was blushing hard. Sirius just smirked and walked away from us. I watched him leave worriedly. Would he be alright?
Once in the Great Hall I glanced a look towards the Slytherin table. There was my Sirius. With his wild and unruly curls. His beautiful face. But it was set into a frown. I wanted to wipe it away and bring his sweet smile back but knew I couldn't. At least not at the moment. Then I noticed. Sirius was sat at the very end of the bench, the end where new first years sit. And he was all alone. I looked further up the bench and noticed Regulus had all the Slytherins in our year crowded round him. He was smirking and retelling a story. I bet I knew which story it was, the horrible little twerp. I sent feelings of love down my bond to Sirius and received weak ones back. He looked sad by himself. I heard the Slytherins laugh and wished for once, that my Sirius was with them.
