James had walked into his dormitory to see Sirius sitting on the floor naked with a clothed Remus sitting on his lap, James cleared his throat.
Both the boys looked embarrassed and shocked "James" Sirius choked
"Cover yourself up Sirius, you could have waited until we had gone" James had fires burning in his eyes. With that said, James stormed out.
"Shit" Sirius threw on boxers, jeans and a T-shirt at brake neck speed then sprinted down the stone stairs leaving Remus to run after him.
"James" Sirius grabbed hold of James as he was about to leave the common room
"Sirius I have nothing left to say to you"
"Please James, we didn't know you would come in, we weren't doing anything wrong I had come out of the shower and my towel had been dislodged, can we talk about this like adults rather than irrational children"
"James we're together now, if that was Sirius and a girl you wouldn't be like this, you've walked in on Sirius having sex, so have I, why is this so different James, why?"
"Remus, it's just weird, it's confusing, I would expect to see Sirius fucking a girl up there, it's different, it will just take a while for me to get to grips with you two being an item" Sirius and Remus nodded.
Sirius let James go, knowing now he would not make a run for it. James turfed a first year out of one of the Marauder's chairs and sat down; Sirius did the same to the first year's friend.
Remus on the other hand sat on the arm of Sirius' chair not wanting to turf a first year out of a chair (he had never approved of the others doing it). Sirius on the other hand pulled Remus so he was lying down across Sirius' lap.
"Oh, James it's you're lover" Sirius said in a mocking tone as Lily walked through the portrait whole.
"Hey, Lily, baby over here" James yelled, Lily gave James a disgusted look and then she looked at Remus draped over Sirius in puzzlement, James noticed Lily and her friends staring at Sirius and Remus.
"Have you got a problem with Sirius and Remus?"
"Leave it James" Sirius hissed
"No, why should I?"
"No, I haven't got a problem with them Potter, we're just curios as to why the puller has Remus sitting on him like they're together"
"Don't say a word James Potter" Sirius hissed in a venomous tone
"Why, are you ashamed you're together, ashamed you're GAY?" James yelled the last word, which made Sirius jump up, knocking Remus to the floor, then pounced on James, and punched him in the stomach winding him.
"Sirius, no" Remus dragged Sirius off James
"Sirius, you don't have to fly off the handle at Potter, is it true though?" Sirius rested his head on Remus' shoulder before Remus answered
"Yeah, we're together, Sirius isn't too found of going public yet"
"Sirius, it's ok" Lily said before her and her two best friends disappeared up to the girls dormitories.
"She's right Siri, she's right" Sirius collapsed into the chair Remus resumed his place laying on Sirius. Sirius buried his head into Remus' stomach.
He stroked Sirius' black hair "J-James, R-Remus, S-Sirius, I've got it, I've found it" Peter had ran into the common room holding a large book that looked very heavy and looked like it was from the restricted section of the library.
"Peter, what are you on about?" Sirius murmured into Remus' stomach
"Not here, up stairs" So the other three Marauders got up and went up the stone steps to their dormitory.
Peter dropped the book onto James' bed, which was the closest to the door and opened it to a marked page
Animagus
Animagus is to become an animal, it is very complex magic and can be dangerous in doing so, and there are hundreds of listed Animagus in the magical world.
Then the boys read the potion to become an Animagus and the spell to find out the correct form.
The book was right it would take ages and a lot of hard work to complete the transformation, some of the ingredients took ten weeks to stew; the potion would take at least four months to make.
"Blimey, well we have found out something other than how to become animagi, Peter here has a brain" Sirius said prodding the small boy's head.
Sirius and James started laughing at Peter's face of confusment. Remus kissed Sirius to shut him up which also shut James up "Sorry Remus" Sirius said ones Remus had pulled away
"That's ok; just don't take the piss, just because you're one of the top students"
"I know, I know, don't give me a lecture"
"Well stop being so immature"
"Ok, sorry".
"If we don't start over Christmas, this will take longer"
"Me and Remus will do it, won't we? or at least start the stewing stuff, we could nick the ingredients from Slughorn"
"No, 'you' will nick the ingredients from Slughorn, there is no 'we' in that Sirius"
"Ok, ok" Sirius put his hands up in mock surrender
"Ok and we can get some of these ingredients that don't need to stew or we can't get them here" the other three nodded at James.
They scanned the list checking what needed to be stewed, for how long and what they could not get at school.
James wrote down what he had to get over the holiday, and then split the parchment in half and gave one-half to Peter. He folded his half and tucked it in his robes. "So you'll get that and, I'll get that" Sirius said waving his arm in the air
"Sirius, what are you on about?"
"I don't know, I've gone mad"
"Sirius, you are mad" Sirius started tickling Remus to his utmost disgust "Sirius, stop, I, can't, breathe"
"Yeah you can, you're talking" Sirius said through laughter Remus flipped Sirius off him and off the bed "You bastered Remus" Sirius said picking himself up from the floor and brushing himself down.
"Erm, who's the bastered?" Remus asked
"But I'm sexy?" Sirius gave him a puppy eyed look, James rolled his eyes
"Yeah suppose" Remus said exasperated. Sirius smiled widely.
Sirius got back on the bed.
The four boys looked at the book again, "Well boys, we have finely found it, yes this will take a while, but it will be worth it, am I right?" James said scanning the double page a couple of times
"Yeah, defiantly, we'll be able to join our werewolf buddy here and have some fun" Sirius said putting his arm around Remus' shoulders and pulling him towards him slightly.
