Those Grey Eyes - Wolfstar Au (Jily, Marauders Era)

Chapter 1. Remus

          Remus was having a shit summer. And that's saying something. First, his dad had been away on a trip for the ministry and since then, his mum had been very strict and on edge the entire summer,  which gave Remus zero privacy and zero anger control. Second, after one really bad transformation, he found that he had gave himself a new scar, upon his face. And third, at the moment he was trying to steal some fags, and it was not going well.

      Im getting too tall for this, Remus thought to himself as he climbed through the thin window, to the back office of the shop.

      Remus was in his fifth year and he was very, very, excited to go back to Hogwarts and see his friends. Sirius, Peter, James, Lily, Marlene, and Mary were his very best friends, and he couldn't live without any of them.

     Remus extracted his fags of choice and quickly went to the back window and squeezed himself out into the crisp autumn air. He briskly walked away from the store and towards his number-one smoke spot. Once he sat down he took one out and lit it with his lighter and sucked.

     Remus had always loved his friends. James and Remus had sat down together in the compartment in first year and became friends. Remus had been told by both of his parents to not make friends at Hogwarts as to protect his secret. But James is an arrogant prat and had not given up on Remus.

      Sirius had walked into the compartment five minutes later very visibly angry, and had not waited for any of the boys' permission to sit in the compartment before he slammed his case in the rack and slammed himself into the seat next to Remus. James being- well James had made an attempt at friendship and surprisingly succeeded, against Remus' assumptions.

Peter had stumbled in after being chased by a couple of Ravenclaws trying to get him to try a Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Bean, and failed, leading to the group chasing Peter throughout the train, leading Peter to stumble inside their shared compartment, leading to a best-friendship with the three boys  seated.

Remus was almost done with his fag when he saw something in the sky heading towards him. The owl, James' owl, landed next to him holding a letter.

Remus grabbed the letter and the owl flew off, not waiting for him to give any treats or any letters. Remus unfurled the letter.

    Remus,
    This is an emergancy, and i need you to come to my house NOW.

Sirius has just arrived through the floo and he's hurt. My mum thinks it was the cruciatus curse. He's still unconscious, but he's very ill.

My dad said that it would be ok if you came for the rest of the summer since the moon has already passed.

Please Remus, don't even write back if you can come, just come. If you absolutely can't come write back quickly.

Please hurry,
     James

Remus' stomach twisted and he quickly got up, stubbed out his lit fag, and started running towards his own home.

AN-

Don't hate me for calling cigarettes fags. I am non-binary and queer so i can say it, and also that is what cigarettes were called in the seventies in the UK. Im going to try to update everyday, but if not, three times a week since i'm not a very busy person. Also i am from the states and i'm not very good with british slang. All i know is what i've heard in other fanfics i read (context clues), and Harry Potter books themselves. Enjoy this fic and i apologize for my rookie writing.
