Chapter 5

Potions class.

Hell on earth number one.

After another display of Lily Severus fan service, Professor Slughorn gave instructions on the next potion. Remus and Sirius worked together quietly as James worked with Frank again in the front of the class.

His face had a large bandage covering it and it concealed his left eye, nose, and lower chin.

Severus loudly proclaimed he'd send flowers to whomever did that, to which Remus smirked and said in a loud carrying voice, "Sorry Snape, but I don't like you that way."

James's posture turned ridged as laughter exploded around the classroom, Severus raised an eyebrow but shrugged and turned his attention back to Lily.

Sirius chuckled and patted Remus on the shoulder, "Nice one, mate."

The rest of the class was spent without any further spite.

Once the bell had rung however, James passed by them and muttered, "Fags."

Sirius replied almost instantly, "Tool."

"Fairy."

"Four eyes."

"Bitch."

"Emo."

James seethed, "Man-whore!"

Sirius smirked, "Can't get a woman."

It was like watching a tennis match. Back and forth insults flew, each more hurtful than the last.

"Homeless!" James spat.

"Pussy."

Remus rolled his eyes and began dragging Sirius away, "Come on, we'll be late to class."

"WHORE!" James shouted after them.

"FATASS!" Sirius yelled in reply, earning a super ugly evil look from James.

"Lets go." Remus insisted, shoved Sirius into their Charms classroom.

"Welcome boys—oh I mean men!" Their tiny Professor squeaked, "Please be seated!"

Sirius opened his mouth to reply when a deafening shout of "GAY-TARD!" echoed around the corridor.

A stunned silence followed broken only by an enraged Professor McGonagall shouting at James, granting him detention so loud that the muggles could have heard her screams of outrage.

Remus couldn't help the small snicker escape his lips as he and Sirius quickly found their seats.

The day passed quickly and Remus and Sirius soon found themselves in the comfortable chairs by the fire.

"Remus? Sirius?" Came an all too familiar voice.

"Lily." Remus greeted.

"Shouldn't you be in the Slytherin dorm or something?" Sirius grumbled, scrawling out an essay on Moonstone.

"Haha." Lily sniffed, "Actually I was wondering why James and you guys are fighting." She tossed her red hair over her shoulder, "I mean, we all heard him in the hall."

"And you think he meant one of us?" Remus inquired stiffly.

Lily blushed slightly, "Well, no, but I… I um…"

"Spit it out." Sirius growled, crossing a sentence out.

Lily glared at him, "Well are you two gay?"

Remus sighed and put down his book, "Does it matter?"

Sirius straightened up and stared at her coolly, "It's really none of your damn business."

Lily shifted uncomfortably, "I know, I know, but…I was thinking if you where then maybe I could help…or something."

Sirius's expression made it clear what he thought of that statement, Remus was a little nicer, "We do not need help, Lily. Thank you anyway."

Lily shrugged and moved away to join her friends.

"Nosey little bitch." Sirius growled, turning back to his homework.

Remus rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to his book.

After about 10 minutes, the portal opened and James stepped through. His eye that wasn't covered by a bandage glowed with fury.

Sirius stuffed his now completed essay into his bag and raised an eyebrow at Remus, "What?"

Remus just shook his head as he watched James spot them and sneer.

"Oh look, the little fags are all alone. What's wrong boys," James called loudly, drawing the attention of every person in the Gryffindor tower, "is everybody a homophobe?"

A stunned silence greeted James's words, broken only by Sirius's snicker, "No, only the fact that now everybody knows how you tried to sneak Lily Evans a love potion during lunch and Severus caught it."

Gasps.

James retaliated at lightning speed, "Well at least I got the hots for a GIRL, not some filthy dog."

Open mouths.

Remus struck back before Sirius could open his mouth, "Fat lot that means coming from a guy whose ego is bigger than the Dining hall."

Snickers.

"Well at least I'm not fucking my best friend!"

Stunned silence.

Sirius stood up, his normally handsome face looking shadowed and dangerous, Oh yeah, and that's coming from a guy who's never got a girlfriend! You know why? Because James Potter has a small—!"

James grabbed the nearest object, a textbook, and chucked it at his former best friend, "I DO NOT!"

Remus calmly flicked his wand, sending the textbook flying back at James's head, "Really?"

James dodged the missile and brandished his wand, "You two are going to pay!"

Sirius drew his own wand as Remus moved to stand next to him, "Oh and how's that going to work?"

James opened his mouth but was temporarily muted by a flying pillow from the direction of the windows, "Knock it off!"

Lily Evans stormed toward them, her red hair billowing like angry storm clouds, "Fuck off, Potter!

James stared in shock, "I…what!"

Lily took her own wand out, her green eyes flashing murderously, "Leave. Them. Alone."

Sirius raised an eyebrow as James wilted and slunk away defeated. "Nice one."

Lily just sniffed and stalked off, joining her giggling friends.

The rest of the night was passed in complete silence. Sirius and Remus sat alone by the fire as everyone else quietly worked, glancing at them occasionally.

The real torture was at night. When Remus and Sirius went up to their dorm room James was already there. The furious teen looked ready to spit out some rather choice phrases; but one look from the pair of men silence him. He threw himself in bed and pulled his curtains around him with an angry flourish.

Sirius, in a display of maturity, stuck his tongue out at his former best friend and stomped of to his own bed where he yanked his curtains around himself with even more exaggeration.

Remus sighed and changed before climbing into bed and, after a brief thought, also pulled his curtains closed.

A heavy silence descended upon the trio as they lay in bed and fumed. Finally James broke the silence, "What, not gonna fuck tonight?"

Sirius sat up in bed, "Oh that's right, Potter, throw insults at us while hiding in your bed—that's very manly!"

"What the bloody hell would you know about being manly!" James snapped, rolling over and glaring at his curtains.

"Says the virgin." Sirius sneered.

James ripped his curtains back and sprung out of bed. He marched over and flung back Sirius's canopy to find the teen ready for him, "Ha! So you like it up the ass huh? Well that's fitting! Being such a spoiled, arrogant, cocky, little Slytherin!"

"Excuse me?" Sirius growled, "This is coming from the ma—no, boy who has such an overinflated ego that he can't see past the end of his nose!"

Remus chimed in, "You know James, we've tried seeing things from your point of view; but we just can't seem to stick our heads that far up our asses."

James's eyes flashed, "What about each other's asses?"

Sirius leapt up and stood nose to nose with James as Remus got out of his bed and walked around to join the confrontation, "Remember when I said my mother kicked me out and I stayed at the Cauldron! I lied! I stayed with Rem!"

James looked affronted and then recovered just as quickly, "Oh yeah! Well guess what! I broke your first broomstick!"

"I was the one who set fire to your quidditch robes!"

"I was the one who stole your Potions essay and got you a month's worth of detention scrubbing bed pans with a toothbrush!"

Remus smirked, "I was the one who set Lily and Severus up."

That stunned the pair of them into silence. James and Sirius both slowly looked over at Remus in complete horror.

"Just kidding." Remus sniggered, "But now that I have your attention; James why are you acting like this?"

Sirius opened his mouth to, no doubt, spit something nasty out in response but Remus shook his head, "No Pads, let's hear why first."

James sputtered for a second before finding his voice, "W-why! Why! Because I just found out my best mates are a couple of fags!"

"You ex-best mates, thank you." Sirius sniffed, looking peeved.

James glared at him, "No one asked your opinion you filthy little—!"

"That's enough." Remus snapped, "James, you honestly hate us because we're gay?" He scowled at his friend, "You're worse that Sirius's mother." They both winced, "She threw Sirius out exactly because of that—he was gay. You're his—no—our best mate! Why are you acting like this!"

The rage in James's eyes died a little and he stared mournfully at the pair, "Last night…I heard you two…err…"

"Shagging?" Sirius supplied helpfully.

James glared at him, "Yeah, and I thought; 'huh, my two best mates love each other that much—and I don't know about it? I mean after everything we've been through, every adventure, hell, and detention; and they won't even tell me they're in love?'" James deflated a little as he stared at the two of them, "I dunno…I figured you two were better than that…"

Sirius blinked and looked stunned, but thankfully Remus found his tongue, "Prongs, listen, we were going to tell you, honestly we were, but it's such a…tender topic sometimes. I mean the school didn't know—well now they do obviously—but we didn't know how you'd react. We wanted to push it off for as long as possible so…well something like this wouldn't happen."

The shaggy haired male grinned suddenly, "And don't get the wrong impression; that was only our second time!"

"Sirius!" Remus snapped, smacking his boyfriend, "Shut up!"

James grinned shakily, "Oh and I actually didn't steal your Potions essay…that was Peter."

Sirius snorted, "And I didn't set fire to your robes."

Remus laughed, "And I defiantly didn't set up Lily and Severus."

"Rem that was just bad, I mean there are some things you just don't joke about." Sirius sighed, shaking his head.

They laughed for a bit, and then shared nervous grins, "So," James said, "can you forgive me for being such an overbearing ass?"

"Yeah." Remus sighed, "But you better take back all that shit you said."

James raised an eyebrow at the profanity but didn't push it, "I take it back."

"Good!" Sirius crowed, "Now, lets go find Peter and set HIM on fire! Those bed pans took bloody forever to clean!"

The trio laughed and set off for another marauders adventure.

The next morning they all sat together at Potions and goofed their way through, sending little paper airplanes to go and drop ink bombs on unsuspecting student's potions which promptly caused a rather large explosion and everyone had to be evacuated. The students milled around, aimlessly chatting with their friends, as Sirius plucked on Remus's sleeve and they began sneaking away. The pair caught James's eye and winked cheekily, before running off.

James rolled his eyes and began to think of a rather elaborate explanation to tell the Professor where his friends had gone; Well you see sir, my best mates have just left…

Sirius dragged Remus into an empty classroom and hastily locked and silenced the door. He then practically pounced on Remus and pressed his lips heatedly against the werewolf's.

Remus moaned and gripped Sirius tightly as they battled for dominance, more for fun than anything, before the brown haired male gave up and let himself be rapidly stripped in record timing.

…to find an empty classroom, I believe. And once they're in that classroom they shall proceed to…

The animagus growled and quickly stripped as well, rubbing their heated bodies together with caused them both to moan.

"Yes…Sirius let's just do it, I want you…" Remus begged, already at full attention from all the pent up feelings from the couple of days. He just needed to release.

Sirius groaned in response and fell to his knees, taking the werewolf's member into his mouth and sucking deeply.

…strip each other and act in certain ways that would make an average witch or wizard feel complied to take a mental health potion—perhaps the draught of the living death…

"YES!" Remus cried, clutching the shaggy black hair desperately as he was licked and sucked on, "Sirius, please! A-agh!" The smaller male moaned loudly as he felt fingers probe him teasingly before entering and finding his pleasure spot, "AH!"

Sirius hummed around the shaft and added another finger, before pulling back and reaching down to wet his dick for a better and swifter entrance. He was detoured, however, as Remus pulled Sirius's fingers out and crouched to the ground.

"Let me." He whispered, and took Sirius in his mouth.

…so after you have taken this fatal potion do I feel inclined to tell you that my two best mates are probably fucking each other right now.

The black haired man groaned loudly as the small sinful tongue wrapped around his length and slicked him up, sending bolts of fire through his body, "R-Rem…!"

Remus leaned back and grinned, before falling onto his back and spreading his legs, "Take me, Padfoot."

Sirius growled dangerously and climbed on top of his lover and entered in one quick thrust, causing them both to cry out in the mixture of pain and pleasure. It all just felt so good, it was too overwhelming, too much…too much…!"

"Fuck me! Sirius just take me please!" Remus cried, arching his back wantonly.

The raven haired man couldn't resist such a voice. He grabbed Remus's hips and began to thrust into him at a brutal pace, tossing his head back and moaning along with his lover's pleasure filled cries. "Remus, Remus, oh god Remus I love you!"

Remus was teetering on the edge as it was, but those words filled with such raw passion and love sent him over, "SIRIUS!" He came violently over them both, his body shaking as his climax tore through him and released all of his pent up emotion and stress.

Sirius shouted out his partner's name as he came as well, burying himself deep inside Remus, before slowly withdrawing and flopping down next to him, panting.

They lay there like that for a bit, breathing heavily, and riding out the last of their sex high. Sirius reached over and sluggishly tugged Remus into his arms and cuddled with the wolf man, "Love you."

"I love you too." Remus purred happily, and then giggled, "I wonder what excuse we can use to get out of Charms?"

Sirius threw back his head and laughed loudly with his lover, their voiced joined together and making the empty room come alive.

James shook his head wearily as the Professor walked closer to him; he really needed a better excuse.
