Summer

The months flew by and four friends where soon know as the Marauders for all the mischief they caused. Sirius and James seemed to be the leaders of the small group. They always looked after the smaller to and to that Remus was thankful. He could barely believe that exams where coming soon and he buckled down on his study. He also dragged the other three with, even though they claimed to be allergic to studying. But one look at Remus' puppy dog eyes and they all couldn't help but go along with him.

Exams came and went and it was time to pack and get on the train headed home. They promised to write to each other and to meat in Diagon alley. Remus' friends had noticed that he disappeared once a month and promised to read up on the different possibilities.

Sirius had told Remus all about his dark family and how he really wanted to get away from them this summer. Remus had told him that if it was okay with his parents that Sirius might be able to come over for the summer.

"Sirius, I'll ask right away when I see them, and maybe you can come straight to my house." Remus whispered to Sirius. They didn't want the others to feel jealous because they didn't want them to be there. It wasn't that they didn't love being around them but Sirius and Remus had a special bond and wanted to get to know each other even better than they already knew the other.

"I really hope that I can come, my mother will just be happy to get me out of the house, so I know she'll say yes." Sirius said in a confident voice.

The train rolled to a stop and they all went to their parents.

"Remus I'm so glad to see you" cried his mother as she hugged him tight.

"Mom, you know how I told you about Sirius in my letters? Well I was wondering if he could stay over for the summer."Remus said with a cute puppy look that he had learned from Sirius.

"What about your… you know?" his mom asked with a doubtful look.

"I'll figure something out, please mom?" he said desperately.

"Fine, but it's your fault if he figures out your secret."

"Thank you so, so, so much!" He yelled as he ran over to Sirius and told him the great news.

"Sirius, my mom said yes" he cried as he got over to him.

"Great my mom said I could go to!"Sirius said and then he followed Remus over to Remus' mom.

"Hi Mrs. Lupine, it's nice to meet you." Sirius said a shook her hand. Poor Cathey thought that Sirius was a complete gentleman, oh if only she had known.

They quickly ran through the barrier and headed to the car. It took about three hours to get to the Lupines cottage. They lived in a forest so no one would be hurt if Remus escaped. The boys sat in the back seat and talked about everything that they could think of for two hours but they fell asleep in the last. Remus had his head rested against Sirius's shoulder and Sirius had his head rested on Remus'. They looked so adorable that Cathey quickly grabbed a camera and took a picture before she woke them up since they were home.

"Wow Remus you have a nice house" Sirius exclaimed as he saw the cute little cottage. Remus smiled bashfully.

"We sleep upstairs so follow me." Remus then brought Sirius up to his room that was in the attic. It was huge because of enlargement charms and it was painted a bright shade of blue, there was a nice four post bed by a window and three different book shelves full of books.

"I know it's not much, and kind of empty but it's my room." Remus said hoping Sirius would say something. "And you can sleep on my bed I'll sleep on the cot because it's not that comfy.

"Remus I love your room and will not let you sleep on a cot you will sleep on the bed with me." Sirius said as he looked at Remus like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Are you sure, I can sleep on the cot?" Remus asked as he went over to his dresser to grab some pajama bottoms. It was already 10:00 and he was pretty tired.

"Of course I would never want you to sleep on some cot." Sirius said as he also grabbed some pajamas. After they were done changing they crawled into bed and started to talk until they fell asleep.

Xxx

The next morning they woke up entangled together in such a complicated way that they ended up falling out of bed trying to untangle them. They went down stairs to the smell of blueberry pancakes and bacon.

"Mrs. Lupine this is the best food I've ever had." Exclaimed Sirius, as he sucked up the food like a vacuum.

"Don't talk with your mouth open dear." She replied. That was what Remus loved most about his mom, just because someone was over she didn't treat them special. 'Sirius would get a nasty shock when he and Remus would have to go and do chores' thought Remus with a small chuckle that went unnoticed by the other two people at the table.

As if on cue his mom swallowed her food and said "Remus I have to go and get some groceries so you and Sirius need to clean the house."

To Remus' surprise Sirius didn't say anything but that might have been because he had gone into shock, Oh well.

It only took them a half hour to completely clean the house and Remus' mom would be gone for at least three hours, so the boys went outside to explore the woods that surrounded the cottage.

"Remus, I was wondering weir your dad was?" said Sirius as he jumped over a fallen tree.

"I don't know wait my dad is." Remus replied bitterly.

"What, why not?" asked Sirius curiously.

"He left when I was six." He said as he looked at his feet.

"Oh, Remus I'm sorry to have asked." Sirius rushed over to Remus and gave him a big hug.

"He left because of me." Said Remus as it hit him agene how much being a werewolf had cost him.

"He left because I got bitten."

"Go bitten?" Sirius asked in confusion.

"You would hate me if I told you." said Remus sadly.

"Remus, I could never hate you." Sirius said shocked that Remus thought that. "You can tell me anything." And Remus believed him.

"I got bitten… by a we…werewolf." stuttered Remus. Sirius just stared at Remus in shock.

"If you hate me I understand and if you want to go home I'll understand." Remus said as he looked up to try and keep himself from crying. It really hurt him that Sirius hated him but he was used to it by know since his dad left because of him as well.

Sirius seeing Remus almost in tears quickly hugged him tight. "I don't hate you, I'm just shocked it's not every day that you hear that your best friend is a werewolf."

"So you don't hate me?" Remus asked in tiny voice.

"Never." said Sirius.

"Thank you." Remus said feeling the luckiest he had felt in a very long time.
