Remus was seated in a cabin on the Hogwarts Express transport ship with Sirius sleeping next to him, his head in Remus's lap. He was quietly snoring while Remus pet his hair. Sirius was finally healthy and happy again. Remus worried about this mission they had taken up if for no other reason that he didn't want anything to happen to Sirius after working so hard to heal from his long years of trauma.

Of course, Remus knew some mental wounds would never heal. But Sirius in most ways now felt much like Remus remembered him before… before James and Lily died.

Remus looked out the window and watched as they approached the large space station designed like a castle that made up Hogwarts Academy. Remus hadn't been back here since they graduated eighteen years before. Remus didn't think it had changed at all, at least not from where he sat.

"Padfoot," Remus whispered.

"Hmph?" Sirius said and sat up. He then looked out the window and commented, "It looks the same."

"Yes. I was just thinking that," Remus said.

It was still several more minutes until the transport docked. As they stepped off the transport they were startled when several things happened in quick succession. There was a loud rumble that they both recognized as a large starship arriving, which was soon followed by the sound of a massive blast striking part of the school and then sirens went off everywhere.

"The school's under attack!" Sirius shouted then grabbed Remus by the shoulders and added, "Moony, my godson is here!"

"Get your energy pistol ready," Remus said and pulled his out from the inside of his jacket. He had made sure they both brought pistols for the journey along with as many spare energy cells as he could find in the vicinity of the capitol, which wasn't a lot.

Remus and Sirius made their way out out of the docking bay and made their way through the school and towards the noise at the front of the school where it was likely that Death Eaters were piling into the school.

Remus's heart pounded hard in his chest and he could almost feel a transformation being to creep in but he refused to let himself lose control in this moment. The monster inside him would only make things worse.

They finally arrived at the main corridor and they hid in an alcove and looked out to see that the large window at the end of the corridor had been blasted away and a ship that he knew was the Cruciatus had turned it into a docking point and sealed it up so that nothing would be sucked into space. As he suspected Death Eaters were piling out, led by Severus Snape. Worst of all a couple of people with his affliction ran out, fully transformed and on all fours.

"This is terrible. The school has never had to go undergo this sort of attack before, " Remus said.

"I've got to find Harry," Sirius said.

"Stay focused, Padfoot. You can't just run out there and look for him. You'll end up dead and what use will you be then?" Remus said.

"You're right, I'm sure," Sirius said.

Remus nodded then said, "They are all gone. Let's move out."

Remus and Sirius moved out from the alcove and crept forward across the main corridor. Remus didn't really have a plan but he could hear gun fire occurring at various points on the station and decided it would be best to make their way to those points as silently as possible.

As they turned a corner to head down another corridor that led past the great hall one of the infected beasts leaped out at Remus, its mouth snarling and a large sharp clawed paw swinging at his face. There was a sound of a pistol blast and Remus watched as the blast hit the creature in the side of it's head, causing a scorch mark and it fell to the ground with a thud, dead.

Remus looked to his right and saw Sirius standing there, pistol in hand, a determined look on his face which quickly turned into a smile.

"I'm a good shot," Sirius said. "Or have you forgotten, Moony?"

"Never," Remus said then gestured for Sirius to follow him down the corridor. It was obvious the main source of the sounds of fighting were coming from the great hall so they headed there. The body of a stocky red-haired boy lay in front of the door to hall, forcing them to step over him.

Inside the hall was a mess of gun fire and bodies of Death Eaters, students, and a few teachers. At the head of the great hall Severus Snape was aiming a gun at Albus Dumbledore.

"No!" Remus shouted as Snape fired upon Dumbledore. Dumbledore fell to the ground and moved no more.

"Snivellus!" Sirius shouted and began to take off towards Snape but Remus stopped him and pointed to the left side of the hall where he had spotted Harry hiding under a table with a blond haired boy. Harry appeared to have scratches all over his body, the red standing out against his dark skin, and Remus had a moment of panic as he worried someone like himself may have attacked and infected Harry.

As Remus and Sirius ran over to Harry, Snape and what remained of the Death Eaters exited in a hurry, their mission apparently complete. Remus recognized one of the Death Eaters as Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius's cousin. As she exited the great hall she made sure to look over and at Sirius but Sirius was too busy focusing on Harry.

Remus and Sirius crouched underneath the table and Sirius immediately grabbed Harry and hugged him, causing him to grunt in pain as Sirius had forgotten to notice the scratches all over Harry's body.

"What happened to you, Harry?" Sirius asked.

"I was standing at the window when the ship arrived," Harry said.

"I see you've ran into Malfoy here," Sirius said, gesturing at the blond haired boy. Remus realized this was the boy who had been ordered to torture Harry but had failed leading to Harry and Sirius escaping. Harry nodded at Sirius and the Malfoy boy looked down scowling.

"I think I'm going to go survey the damage and let you two catch up," Remus said gesturing at Harry and Sirius. "Oh, I'm Remus Lupin by the way," he added and extended a hand to Harry which Harry then shook. Then without a word Remus went to look around the room.

Most everyone was gathered around but Dumbledore but a smaller group of red-haired teenagers was gathered around the stocky red-haired boy who lay dead outside the hall. There were three of them, a girl, a tall skinny boy, and a stocky boy who looked identical to the boy on the ground only he seemed to have got an ear blown off by a energy pistol. Remus felt for this family and couldn't imagine the pain of losing an identical twin.

Remus looked around the room for a familiar adult face and found Rubeus Hagrid to whom he ran over to. Hagrid appeared to be crying. Remus knew how fond he was of Albus Dumbledore.

"Hagrid, I am sorry," Remus said and hugged Hagrid from the side. It wasn't really possible to wrap his arms around the large man but he tried. No one was actually sure why Hagrid was so big and Remus had always felt like it wasn't his place to ask. He wondered if perhaps one of his parents wasn't an alien.

"Thanks, Remus," Hagrid said, through sniffles. "Dumbledore was a good man. Didn' deserve to be killed by someone like Snape."

"I agree," Remus said. "I knew Snape was working for Voldemort but I still can't believe he would be capable of this."

Remus left Hagrid to grieve and went and found Minerva McGonagall. He asked her what he could do to help and she instructed him to help tend to the wounded which he gladly did, assisting the school's nurse Madam Pomfrey who Remus had a long history with as she had helped him with his transformations during his years at Hogwarts all those years ago.

Once Madam Pomfrey was satisfied that everyone was tended to, Remus helped with the disposal of the Death Eater bodies. They were all removed from the great hall and stored in an empty room where they would all be identified and their families notified of their passing. After finishing that task Remus headed back to the main corridor where he found Sirius waiting for him.

"Harry and that Malfoy boy ran off to bed. Together. I think their going to shag," Sirius said.

"I can relate to the need for some therapeutic shagging," Remus said and kissed Sirius before pulling away quickly.

"Do you know what I saw in the docking bay, Moony?" Sirius asked. Remus shook his head in response and Sirius provided the answer: "Our old ship." Sirius smiled slyly.

Remus and Sirius ran off to the docking bay where they found The Marauder. Sirius quickly entered the code to enter the ship which still worked to Remus's surprise.

"I can't believe Harry's friends have never changed it," Remus said.

"Oh they've changed nothing," Sirius said as they entered, gesturing around dramatically.

Sirius was right. The ship was completely unchanged after all these years. The Marauder's map still remained in the center of the main room. Remus suspected that it still remained the most in depth map in the galaxy and it's ability to remember ships and track their positions was unique tech the four of them had created.

Remus walked over the captain's chair. James had always insisted on being the one to captain the ship and they rarely fought him on it. Sirius always said that they should stroke his ego but then maybe a wanking motion which made Remus laugh, despite himself. Remus plopped down in the chair. James wasn't here today.

"Oh, Padfoot, remember the fun we had," Remus said. "Remember that planet where we broke down and we were right in-between two villages where one side had green skin and horns and the other had blue skin and tails? We needed help and we couldn't agree which village seemed more friendly. You and James wanted to try the blue skinned group but Peter and I wanted to try to the green skinned group. Then it turned out there was third red skinned group with horns and tails!"

Sirius laughed hard and said, "Oh Merlin yes! Turned out the person from the red skinned group was a tech expert and they fixed the ship in no time and then demanded payment. Merlin knows what James paid them but they walked away with the biggest smile I have ever seen!"

Sirius then walked over to Remus and kissed him hard, his hands clutching Remus's side then one of them moving to Remus's groin where his cock was quickly stiffening. Sirius began to rub Remus's cock through his trousers. He then unbuttoned and unzipped them, pulled it out then began to stroke the shaft.

"I want to ride your cock right here in the captain's chair, Moony," Sirius said.

"Go right ahead," Remus said and then Sirius flung off his clothing as quickly as he could but Remus didn't move, except to remove his shirt. Sirius pulled out a tube of lubricant and used it to slick up Remus's cock. He then positioned himself over it and slowly pushed himself down his large shaft. Remus bit his lip and groaned at the feeling of being inside Sirius. Remus had to admit fucking Padfoot in the captain's chair was a bit of a turn on.

Sirius began to pull himself up and down Remus's shaft while he stroked his own cock. As Remus inched closer to climax he began to thrust up into Sirius in motion with Sirius thrusting down and soon was pounding into Sirius's arse very fast and he yelled, "Fuck, I'm coming," as he felt his body tense and pleasure surge through him, and he ejaculated inside Sirius. Almost immediately, Sirius came as well, shooting his hot load onto Remus's torso.

Sirius collapsed into Remus and kissed his neck and Remus's cock went soft and fell out of Sirius's arse. They slept in one of the cabins that night and the following day they snuck onto a transport headed towards the edge that would take them most of the way to home planet of Remus's infection. Sirius was worried about Harry but Remus insisted that Harry would be fine. Remus hoped he was right.
