I DON'T OWN THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS, J.K. Rowling DOES! (I hope that printed properly because I never go back to fix that on line.

I want to say thank you to my lovely reviewer Selesteant. So far you are my only reviewer though, I'm not begging. I'm sorry this one is so late. It feels like I had writers block all week including the weekend. I'm just odd like that. So sorry if this sucks but I couldn't think of a way to start so this chapter might not be so good.


Remus Lupin was never treated fairly. His mother died in the very attack that turned him into a werewolf, and his father would abuse him as a child for being so different. Between the abuse and the werewolf transformations, Remus had scares littered all over his body. The first fair things that ever happened to him were Sirius and James. James being his friend and Sirius his lover before mate. Then, James was ripped away from him and so was an innocent Sirius. Now, Remus Lupin had a second mate and the best thing was that this mate did not care about the down side to werewolves, but did about the good in them and for them. Lady Fate can be cruel, but he had seen her nice forgiving side. Remus prayed that Fate was on his side as he entered 'Spent Wings Bookstore'.

The bell jingled as Remus entered the two story bookstore. To say the music was narcotic was not an understatement, for the sweet sound of a piano playing could lull anyone into a state of peace and love. Remus walked down rows of non-magic (nicer word for muggle) books until he found the one he wanted. It had a spell on it so non-magic people couldn't see it. It was tittled 'Everything You'd Ever Need To Know About Werewolfs' by Lisa Louis. Remus walked up to the counter, and because no one was there, he rang the bell.

"Someone will be with you in a moment," a very feminine voice rang out, as lightly as the bells on the door.
"Sky, stop playing that stupid piano and help the customer, or at least sign for the text books," the same feminine voice said, this time however, it was shrewder and more dark. It was obvious this person didn't like poor Sky.

A few minuets after the music stopped, Sky exited from the back room. His plumb eyes were illuminated in natural light streaming from the high windows and his hair looked wonderful soft though not terribly professional for it was longer on one side as was the emo style. His clothes however, screamed professional for his cotton shirt had no wrinkles and his light brown brown pants were in just as great condition as his shirt. Sky's skin was a snowy white and while he was short, he was fit. He was not fit in the sense of body builder, but he was not lean either. He was godly and Remus what he did to deserve such a beauty. Pity Remus didn't know that Sky had thought the same about Remus.

"Good morning Sir, what can I do for you?" Sky asked in a polite tone and Remus wondered if perhaps Sky didn't remember the dream.

"Good morning, I only wish to buy this book, thank you for asking," Remus replied in a cordial voice, accompanied with a shy smile.

Sky typed the bar-code into the old cash register that looked to be a few decades old. Everything in this shop did seem to either antique or decades old. Remus payed the small amount, and left with his new book in a paper bag. If only Sirius could see Remus now. He went into a book store to get a date an comes out with a book that is not really needed and no date. Remus sighed and walked back to the rented apartment. At least Harry would be visting today.

That night, Sky went over his day in his head and what an idiot he felt, for now Sky wanted to hit himself over the head with one of the new thick textbooks. There was his mate and all Sky could do was look on as he left the store. Sky had hoped that he might have been able to get a date but he had not the guts. As Sky put his head onto the pillow that was on his bed he couldn't help but to want to dream about his ever elusive mates for he never knew what to expect. Sighing Sky closed his eyes and waited for sleep to claim him. Sky did not have to wait long.

Once again they were in a field, Sirius noted. It felt calm and they were surrounded by blue flowers with five petals. In the middle of the field was a lonely looking Sky. His hair was as awsome as ever but, his eyes were void of the light and happiness Sirius had seen earlier. Sirius approached Sky softly and sat down on his right. Remus was on Sky's left. Sirius wrapped an arm around Sky when he did not react to their presence. That snapped Sky out of his reverie. Sky's eyes met Sirius' and Sky rested his head on his shoulder. Sirius smiled softly and ran his had through Sky's hair.

His almost platinum blond hair was soft and had a silver sheen to it. Not that of an elder but one of healthy blond hair. Sky's eyes closed and he hummed a soft little tune. One that spoke of fairies and warmth. When sky was done humming he sighed and Sirius could not have thought of more beautiful sounds then the ones Sky makes. The thought mad Sirius smile.

"How desperate do I have to be if I'm dreaming of you just to get some time to talk, when I haven't even got the guts to ask one of you guys out." Sky asked softly, obviously not expecting a responce.
"Not desperate at all. I had an opportunity to ask you out but I couldn't get m mouth to work. You look so good it should be illegal." Remus responded anyway not believing that Sky thought himself desperate.
"I'm not handsome or even good looking. You should ask Sirius about the scares on my body. They are evidence enough."
Remus looked over at Sirius with disbelief in his eyes, "Siri, what is sky talking about?"
Sirius scratched the back of his head with his free arm. "I went to the orphanage and I saw sky without his shirt on. Moony, he has two scars on his chest. One looks like it could be claw scratches and the other looks more like a burn mark."

Sirius hugged Sky to his chest and kissed the top of his head. Sky, was crying softly in Sirius' chest and Sirius looked over at Remus with worried eyes. Remus crawled closer and rubbed Sky's back in a comforting manner. He kissed the side of Sky's neck slightly. After a few moments, Sky calmed down and looked Sirius in the eyes once again, this time however with a sorrowful look.

"I'm sorry for ruining your shirt Siri," Sky said softly with his head now against Remus' shoulder.
"That's alright. I'd be worried if you held no expression through all that. Just know that knowing about the scares don't scar us. If anything, it made us want to be with you more. I want to know what happened to you over a span of fifteen years. I know you will tell us when you trust us though," Sirius replied with a gentle smile.

The rest of the dream was spent with Sirius and Remus telling Sky about themselves.
