Sirius pushed open the portrait hole of the fat lady and walked into the brightly lit common room with James at his heel.
"Do you know where Remus Lupin is?" Sirius asked a scared looking lanky first year boy that was sitting in one of Sirius and the Marauders' favourite chair by the fire
"I saw him going up to the boy's dormitories," he said getting out of the chair; he was usually turfed out of the chair so he thought it would be easier if he just got out.
"Thanks a lot" Sirius almost sprinted to the boy's dormitory stairs.
Sirius slowed as he descended the hard stone stairs and steadily walked up the boy's dormitory stairs still with James at his heels; James had also slowed to meet Sirius' pace other wise he would have tripped over Sirius and fell flat on his face.
Sirius paused at his dormitory door, too scared to move sensing Remus' presence on the other side of the door. James opened the door for him and pushed him in the small of the back to get him moving.
"Remus?" Remus was not looking at Sirius or James; he was lying on his bed reading a book that looked like 'Hogwarts a History'
"Remus, please mate. I know how Sirius feels about you and I'm no idiot. I know you feel the same way; you're just scared that being a werewolf and gay would make us hate you, but that isn't true. Sirius told me something that hit home, we're brothers, we trust and care for each other, gay, straight, werewolf, dog, rat, stag it doesn't matter".
Remus closed the book and looked James straight in the eye, Sirius also looked at James. James was not the Marauder to talk about what the friendship meant, he, along with Sirius were the pranksters, not deep and meaningful.
'Is he serious about how Remus felt?' Sirius questioned himself in his head
"You've been reading my journal again, haven't you?"
"Might have" Sirius sat down and put his head in his hands shaking his head
"What? I'm confused"
"I do like you Sirius, but, what would people think, the puller and the werewolf?" he said honestly
"Who cares about what people think? Gay is normal" James murmured Sirius looked at him; James was always one to show off, care about his appearance, and care what other people thought.
"James, what are…?"
"No, he's right, who cares about what other people think, if we like each other, people will have to live with that" Remus got up after Sirius said this and sat next to him. Sirius slid his head onto Remus' shoulder.
He put his hand on Remus' thigh and stroked it "I'll leave you two alone for a while" they heard the dormitory door close as James left the dormitory.
"Remus?" Sirius asked lifting his head slightly off Remus' shoulder
"Hmm?" he pulled Sirius' head back on his shoulder
"Will you go out with me?" Remus pulled Sirius' face from his shoulder so it was facing his; he kissed his jaw then the groove in his neck
"Is that an answer?" Sirius smiled and leaned forward to kiss his boyfriend as their lips touched Sirius' hand went up to his mousy-coloured-hair.
As Sirius' tongue slipped into his mouth, Remus pulled away "I'm still new to this, Sirius" Sirius nodded and kissed Remus' forehead.
"Two days and we can do this wherever we want; the other Marauders aren't here" Remus lay down on Sirius' bed that had been freshly made with clean scarlet and gold sheets.
Sirius lay next to him, he ran a hand down Remus' chest as he got closer to Remus' genitals he started to tense. Sirius got to Remus' belt then stopped realising his uncomfort.
"Sorry" Sirius quickly sat up, but Remus had other ideas. He pulled Sirius onto his back on the bed and sat on his waist to stop him going anywhere.
He placed one hand on either side of his head, "Look, Sirius. You need to push me into things, if I don't like what you do, I'll tell you, if I stay quiet, carry on, but I don't want you to touch me, not yet anyway".
Remus pushed the silky black hair out if Sirius' eyes and stared into the cold grey eyes in front of him, lust evident in the stare, and the pain that Remus knew was from what he had seen in the Black family.
Sirius nodded and leaned forward to kiss him, Remus did the same, their tongues started to fight as the kiss grew with more passion as the two boys started to realise how much they needed one another and how much love they felt in each others arms.
Five minutes later Remus got up off Sirius' bed, Sirius followed suite. "I need to go and do an essay; you can come down with me if you want"
"Why do you need to do an essay? We have no school for three weeks" Sirius looked at Remus quizzically
"I want to get my homework done so I'm not worrying about it and rushing on the last day, like you do" Remus kissed Sirius on the cheek and then left the common room.
Sirius followed down to the common room, Remus had settled down on the floor in front of the fire he had pulled the closest book to him and started to read it.
Sirius sat down on his favourite squashy chair in front of the fire and rested his feet on Remus' back "Siri. Fuck off" Remus said lightly
"No I won't" Remus sighed and moved from the floor to sit next to Sirius
"What do you want me to do" he had abandoned the book on the floor where he had been lying,
"I want to show people I love you" he whispered in Remus' ear
"No not yet".
"What's going on with you two?" Peter squeaked
"Nothing, Pete, nothing at all" he nodded
"No, Sirius, it isn't nothing, tell Pete your, 'situation'" James cut in
"Shut up James"
"No, I won't, Pete, their together now" Peter blinked, confused
"Who's together now?"
"Sirius and Remus"
"Oh ok, OH OK" Sirius got up but Remus pulled him back down
"You fucking prick James"
"I know, but he would realise in the end, we do share a dormitory"
"Suppose so, I'm going to bed, I might see you tomorrow" Sirius got up
"Oh no your not, Christmas party, you are not pulling out of it this year, we do it every year"
"I'm not getting the alcohol" James rolled his eyes; Sirius said that every year they had bought the Christmas alcohol.
"Accio Christmas alcohol, ornamentum sursum and victus in traba" Sirius laughed as everything they needed for the party came into the common room.
