Sirius should be here. So why was Remus standing alone in the middle of The Hogwarts Express? Was Sirius having second thoughts? Remus was starting to panic when a girl's voice sounded.
"You must be Lupin." Remus turned to face the redhead who held her hand out towards him, "I'm Lily Evans."
Remus took her hand, "Remus Lupin, Nice to meet you, Evans." he smiled.
"Lily, please. They asked me to help you with potions." she confided after he'd met her friends Mary and Alice.
"And what did you reply?"
"Yes, of course." she beamed at him, "It's not every day we get a new pupil, in fact, I can't remember it ever happening. Did you transfer from Beauxbatons?"
"No, not really." Remus had to admit, he didn't even speak French, "I was ill a lot when I was younger," he smoothly lied, "so my parents weren't comfortable with me being so far away for such a long period of time."
"Oh, I'm sorry, haven't you gone to school at all, then?" Lily asked.
"I went to a Muggle school." Remus had to admit.
"Really?" Lily almost sounded excited, "So did I, well, before I got my letter. Which one?"
Before Remus could reply, a hand was placed on his shoulder, "I would say I'm sorry to steal him away but I'm actually not." Remus turned his head a bit to see Sirius beam down at him. Sirius gently stirred him away from Lily and her friends.
"Black! You can't just pounce upon the new pupil like that!" she shouted after them.
"It's all right, I know him." Remus said as he heard Lily curse 'Sodding, self-absorbed Black' behind them.
"Oh, you know me?" Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"Ehh…" was all Remus got out before Sirius was kissing him hard. His familiar tongue slipped between Remus' lips and Remus found himself clinging to Sirius as if his life depended upon it.
"Those have been the worst four weeks of my life." Sirius panted, "I'm not letting go of you ever again."
"Really?" Remus whimpered.
"That's very touching." a boy drawled. Remus couldn't see his face but Sirius pulled a bit back and glared at a point behind Remus.
"Do you mind, Snivellus? I'm kind of in the middle of something." Sirius slowly leaned down and demonstratively kissed Remus.
"Come on, Snape, he's not worth it, bloody ponce." another boy snickered. In a blink of an eye Sirius was forcing the boy against a wall by the collar.
"You were saying, Rosier?"
"Let go of me." Rosier spat.
"Not until you apologise." Sirius sneered.
"Sirius, please." Remus whispered. Sirius turned towards him and for a moment he looked conflicted before letting go of the boy and wrapping an arm around Remus' shoulders.
"What…" Remus started.
"Slytherins." Sirius sighed as if it explained everything, "I was almost starting to wonder if you'd turn up at all."
"Are you kidding?" Remus looked dumbfound at him, "Hogwarts has been my dream since… always and with you here..."
"Aw, you better watch out or they're going to place you in Hufflepuff."
"And that would be the end of the world?"
"Yes!" Sirius dramatically exclaimed, "Then we wouldn't share dormitory." Sirius winked at him, "How'd it go, anyway?" Sirius asked as they entered a compartment.
"The test?" Remus asked, Sirius nodded but was cut off by one of the boys in the compartment. James slowly got up and shot Remus a smile. The fourth hand that day was held out against him.
"Yeah, we have met, but… James Potter, anyway."
"Remus Lupin, anyway." Remus cautiously smiled back as he took the hand.
"That's Peter Pettigrew." James nodded his head at a mousy haired boy who waved at Remus.
"Whom you'll be sitting next to for the remainder of this journey, James." Sirius said.
"You can't just take my seat." James outraged said but sat down next to Pettigrew nevertheless while cursing his best mate.
When Sirius had sat down on James' old seat and slung an arm around Remus' shoulders ("Really, Black?" "Shut it, Potter.") Sirius reminded Remus of his earlier question.
"Oh, the test? They said I can start with the 6th years but I have to take extra courses and in the end of 6th year I'll have to take my OWLs. The girl I was talking to, Lily, has actually agreed to help me with potions."
"That is so not fair." James exclaimed, "You're on first name already? I have known her for five years but no." then he suddenly lit up, "You can help me. She likes you, if you casually mention me a couple of times." James excitedly began.
"Yes, yes, then she'll suddenly realise she's madly in love with you and you'll fly away on a pink unicorn and live happily ever after, we know." Sirius drawled, earning a snicker from Pettigrew.
"Actually I think the unicorn part is your dream, Black." James shot back.
"No, no, in Sirius' dream he'd ride away on a huge black wolf or a dragon or something because he thinks he's so cool." Remus offered.
"Hey! You're supposed to be on my side." Sirius pouted as James and Pettigrew started giggling loudly.
A/N: Wow, that's quite short... and shit... it's just a little mood-thing/ future-thing-stuff
That was it. I'm still writing Wolfstar stuff so if you're interested you can check out my other stories, or something. I'd love it if you would take two seconds of your time to write a review *puppy eyes*
See you.
