I don't want to write this bit (T-T)
I've known exactly what to write for ages but I've been stalling

The final day of the school year. It had come too soon. "I don't want to leeeeaaaave." groaned Sirius,
"I don't want you to leeeeaaaave." James groaned back,
"That's the tenth time you've done that today." said Remus, "We get it you don't want to leeeeaaaave."
"Ah Remus," sighed James "you're allowd to be sad that he's leaving, things aren't good because they last."
"Oh shut up." that was exactly what Remus was doing, he wished he hadn't met Sirius just so he wouldn't miss him. Or did he? Who (other than me, you and every wolfstar shipper) knows.
"I'll miss you too Moony." Sirius said, dramatically hugging Remus' face, Why is he so warm? Is this allowed? So waaaaarm. The few blissful seconds of warmth Remus felt were taken harshly away as Sirius pulled away and Remus had to settle with the avarage-ly warm British summer temperature, shame (England is either too hot or too cold).
"SIRIUS!" Sirius whipped round to see Regulus sprinting (well... kinda) towards them "Sirius!" Regulus was panting, he had to lean on James and Sirius to catch his breathe
"What happened are you ok?!" it was both James and Sirius demanding this, which confused all four of them,
"Um." started Regulus "I wanted... to talk to... Sirius."
"Ok..." replied Sirius, he noticed that Regulus' eyes were slightly red, the two of them walked off to have a private conversation "Are you ok?"
"I... have been meaning to talk to someone and since we're... leaving," he was starting to sob "I thought I should tell hi- them but I don't know how an- and-"
"Hey. Reg." Sirius had stwitched on his calm down before you hyperventilate voice "Take a breathe, like I've told you. That's it. Ok, who do you want to talk to and what message do you want to get across?"
"Ok, ok." Reg was taking deep shaky breathes "I'm not going to tell you who but they go to Hogwarts and I may have fallen in love and I think I should tell hi- them before we leave."
"First of all," sighed Sirius "I don't care if you're gay and I won't tell mum, you know that." Regulus nodded "Second. In this area you just need to say exactly how you feel and I don't know exactly how you feel so I won't be too helpful. Last but not least, be dramatic and give him your address."
"Got it." laughed Reg as he ran off,
"Don't run too fast!" James yelled after him "They grow up so fast." he sighed, dramatically, Sirius nodded wisely (sort of) Remus couldn't help snigger at them, these people. Lily once asked why he put up with them, honestly it was because no one else - no matter what they said - would greet him nicely at the first meeting and never hold it over his head as blackmail for something. Sure they were idiots but these idiots saved him.
Sirius felt the same, if he hadn't met these two then he'd've gone straight into Slytherin and who knows where he would've gone after that. If he hadn't gone to France he wouldn't have known them like this, he only wished that his parents never went to the seer, that way he'd've known them sooner.

What Regulus had said had awoken something in Sirius, a thought, so that night - the night before he left for France - he went to Remus. "Are you ok?" asked Remus, seeing Sirius standing awkwardly in front of him, (Lily noticed what was happening immediately and started filming on her muggle camera, she beckoned James and Marlene over to watch) "You've gone a little pale?"
Sirius took a deep breathe and started.
"Remus, I'm in love with you," he didn't stop at Remus' expression of mingled shock and confusion "I know you probably don't feel the same way," Lily James and Marlene exchanged looks, this was not going how they expected "and I don't want this to ruin our friendship," Regulus smiled slightly as he watched this happen "I just couldn't leave without telling you." Sirius paused.
"Sirius I-" Sirius didn't hear any more as he'd run off. Lily stopped filming as Remus went up to their dorm.
"Didn't see that coming." Marlene said quietly.

^v^v^

The next morning, Sirius and Regulus - having said their goodbyes - stood by Sirius' window taking one last look at Hogwarts.
"What the hell are you waiting for!" James yelled at Remus who hadn't woken up to say goodbye,
"We know you're in love so don't even deny it." added Marlene
"Go get him!!!" shouted Lily
Remus stared at them for a minute, "GO!"
"Ok ok I'm going!" Remus ran down to where the flying house was, trying to figure out what to say, You're the best? he ran past student who had said their goodbyes, I wish I'd met you sooner? he ran past teachers doing their daily buisness, I wish we had longer? "SIRIUS!" he yelled beckoning him down.
Sirius' face lit up, he had come to say goodbye! he climbed down from the window "Re-" he couldn't even finish the word, Remus had wrapped hi arms around his neck and kissed him.
When they pulled apart Sirius - for once - was speechless "I love you too." laughed Remus, this was when Sirius' brain caught up to him
"Really!?" he asked "Becau-"
"Oh shut up," replied Remus "yes really!" they both beamed, turns out Remus knew exactly what to say anyway.
"Woo!" came a shout from the window, Regulus was grinning, he knew the whole time. Lily stopped filming, now was the sad part, they all knew it.
"I wish you didn't have to leave." whispered Remus
For the second time a thought occured to Sirius.
"Maybe I don't have to," he said "I could write to my parents, say I'm staying with my cousins, go to stay with Andy, she has a two year old so she'll be fine with me, but Bellatrix, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, I won't have to leave! I could transfur to Hogwarts!"
"Really!?" Remus didn't think that could happen "You can Really do that!?"
"I've literally been getting transfur letters but I was never allowed so I could accept in person!" Sirius was yelling now, he turned to Regulus - who had also climbed down - and said "Come with me Reg, we can stay with Andy, stay at Hogwarts!" what Regulus said to this question would shape his future - if he said no he'd become a death eater with his parents and never be able to fight his way out, if he said yes, he'd be pressured into becoming a death eater and... you know the rest - Regulus considered for a moment "Can I really?"
"Do you want to?"
He nodded.

Long story short, the two of them would move in with Andromeda but tell their parents they moved in with Bellatrix, Sirius and Remus would eventually move in together then... war.

Six of them brought Regulus' and Sirius' stuff into the Gryffindor common room. Two of them went to McGonagalls office to get sorted - Gryffindor and Slytherin - McGonagall was receiving bet money from Dumbledore (everyone knows that happened).
Sirius and Remus spent the rest of that day together. Regulus did tell the boy how he felt. Marlene and Dorcas disappeared again. James and Lily actually got along for a bit. They all wanted to stay like this forever.
Keyword: wanted.

emotional roller coaster, pretty much my life. Bit of sad, bit of happy and a whole lot of bad writing and confusion. Glad it's over. should I do some more Hogwarts? I think I'll probably do a little more.
