The Frenchman - a wolfstar au (Complete)

rivalry

It had been a few days, Walburga and Orion had left without a word (Sirius thought McGonagall might've had something to do with that), three boys and a girl were under a tree by the lake, two boys in a tree, one trying to get them down, the girl on the grass. Remus gave up trying to get them out of the tree and sat down next to Lily "I honestly don't see why you bother." said Lily laying back on the rug they brought out (it's not like they were going to sit on th frosty ground it's the Christmas holidays) "Is the lake frozen over?" asked Sirius
"Looks like it." said James, they grinned at each other. They leapt out of the tree to do some ice skating, Remus rolled his eyes, he then spotted severus, Bellatrix, Lucius and Dolohov coming towards them, he groaned. Lily turned round to see what he had seen and groaned too. "Yep," Bellatrix was saying "I was told I could do whatever I liked to punish him."
"That's what he gets." agreed Lucius "Is he doing ballet?" they all looked to see Sirius doing ballet on the ice,
"Oh look I have an audience." he groaned when he spotted his cousin, he and James headed back to the tree where the other two were still sitting.
"Hey Potter!" yelled severus "I made a new spell, mind if i try it out?"
"I'd rather you didn't." said James "Did we do something?"
"No it was my cousin he existed." said Bellatrix
"Aw," said Sirius "all this trouble for me? You shouldn't have Bella."
"Where'd you get the wig Malfoy?" sniggered Lily
"How dare you speak to me, m*dblood." replied Lucius, all three boys drew their wands at this but Lily was too fast, she'd incased Lucius head in a pumpkin.
Dolohov tried to start a duel with Sirius, but James wanted to have a go so he stepped in. Remus was about to go back to his book when severus yelled "Sectumsempra!" and a streak of red light hit Remus, he looked down to see blood all over his clothes, he heard Sirius yell "HE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!" and saw him rush over as Lily started hexing severus. Nothing else really computed to Remus apart from Sirius' face and voice, "Remus can you hear me?" Remus could hear him but he was in a lot of pain, he could feel tears streaming down his face, he saw a sort of tunnel with light at the end, he wanted to go towards it when he heard "Squeeze my hand if you can hear me." and saw Sirius with an outstretched hand, he walked towards him, away from the light, feeling returning to him with every step, he fell to the ground before he got to Sirius. Remus suddenly became aware of the fact that his hand was in Sirius' he gave it a weak squeeze. Thank Merlin, thought Sirius as he shot red sparks into the air to hope someone would see and get Madame "You're gonna be ok Remus, just breathe, in through your nose out through your mouth." he got out his wand to try doing the healing spells not 100% sure if it'd work but it was worth a shot. He took a deep breath making sure he did it right "Vulentura" he repeated that multiple times until Remus' wounds were completely gone "Remus? You ok?" Remus could see Sirius' concerned face but he was exhausted with the effort of staying alive "Come on keep those eyes open, just look at me." Remus tried his best to stay awake, did I almost die? he thought DID SNAPE JUST TRY TO KILL ME!? His eyes stayed open now "Oh thank Merlin." whispered Sirius "How d'you feel?"
"Like I almost died." Remus managed to say, unable to get up "I swear I saw light."
"That son of a-" started Sirius but the rest of his sentence was cut off by him running off to attack snape. Madame Pomfrey came over to Remus "Someone said they saw red sparks are you ok?" she asked
"I am now," replied Remus "it's a good thing Sirius knows healing spells, snape almost killed me and there are three other people who'll agree."
Madame Pomfrey nodded and left to tell Dumbledore. Remus then noticed James and Lily dragging Sirius away from snape who ran back to the castle with the others. The three of them came back over to Remus "You ok?" asked James, looking him up and down as if checking for injuries
"I am now," Remus did a weak smile "thanks Pads."
"Anytime." Sirius smiled, not that I'll let it happen again.

If you were wondering where peter was this whole time, not that we care if he's alright, he was being persuaded by Lucius - who had used polyjuice potion on someone else to make it look like he was by the lake - to join the death eaters. Unfortunately he agreed after some time of persuasion involving mentioning how Sirius was replacing him and that he was useless to them anyway.

It was full moon the previous night so Remus was especially tired, when they were in the Gryffindor common room Sirius was laying on one of the sofas and Lily and James were sharing a chair while Remus put away his study materials. Remus suddeny started to feel pretty dizzy, he just stopped infront of the sofa Sirius was on "You good?" he asked, Remus felt like he was about to fall over, he was very pale but Sirius couldn't see his face, James and Lily both came over to force him onto the sofa as Sirius moved over. People were starting to stare, they were muttering, about me? I don't want them to see me like this people already think I'm weird. Sirius saw what was happening and was pretty sure Remus was about to have a minor panic attack, he got up and went "Oh Romeo!" getting a few confused looks "Poisoned thyself? Oh Romeo were thy not told I weren't truely dead? I shall use thine dagger to join you in the next life." he then got Remus' wand and pretended to stab himself with it, James and Lily started clapping as people went around their buisness thinking they were just being idiots again. "You're ok." whispered Sirius, laying next to Remus "Just get some sleep." Remus nodded, then regretted it it just made him more dizzy "Put one foot on the floor, it'll help." said James.

It was around midnight when Sirius realised he'd been asleep (aka he woke up), Remus was using Sirius' chest as a pillow with his arms round Sirius' torso as though he was scared Sirius was going to leave, he proved this right as he moved slightly making Remus whine slightly and grip him harder, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, he thought, WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO GOD DAMN CUTE!? He stroked his hair then prised Remus of himself and wrote a note before climbing out the window and heading back to his room.

*AN*
was that too long? no? good cus theres more

At around five in the morning, Sirius woke up to a tapping on his window, he looked out to see James "Sorry Prongs I just don't like you that way." he called sleepily, he kept throwing stones "Go away it's five in the morning!"
"Fine," called James "I'll just tell Remus, who had a nightmare and is asking for you, that you wouldn't come out of your room. Not sketchy at all."
"Remus had a nightmare?" Sirius was suddenly wide awake, Remus usually had nightmares after full moon that he'd hurt or killed one of his friends, since he'd met Sirius no one else was as good at calming him down. Staying in his room would make Remus think Sirius was hurt and didn't want to let anyone see. "Yeah that got your attention didn't it loverboy?" sniggered James
"Shut up." said Sirius who was already on the ground "For the record I'm not getting up for you."
"So you're saying you're in love with Remus?" asked James as they ran back to the castle
Sirius paused for a moment "I don't deny it."
"So you are?"
"I didn't confirm it either."
"Sure."
They climbed through the window, and as soon as Sirius' feet were on the floor, his vision was obscured by a mop of messy brown hair as Remus threw himself upon him. "It's ok Re, I'm ok." he stroked Remus' hair, feeling his breathing go back to normal, "You ok now?" asked Sirius, Remus nodded,
"C- Can you stay here?" Remus whispered quietly
"Sure." Sirius smiled, he slept in Kingsleys bed (who went home for the holidays), but when Remus woke up crying again at half five he switched to Remus' bed and that was the best night of sleep Remus had ever had. He woke up happy and full of energy.
