199. Talk of The Town

"That's Sirius Black," A first year whispers to another. "He's so cool."

The black haired boy strides with his usual grace, head held high and his Doc Martens clunking on the stone floor. Every year new kids come along and oogle at him like he was a  seal in a zoo. He's used to the whispers by 6th year.

Sirius is loud and the center of all movement. If there's a house party, you bet he's there pouring everyone drinks. He's there making sure everyone has a good time.

"He's so intimidating though." Another whispers.

Sirius scoffs. He wears leather jackets and black lines his eyes. He was inherited the Black bitch face. He doesn't sit when someone's being stepped over. He won't hesitate to throw a punch.

You probably know a handsome senior you'd be lucky to see once or twice in the hallways. The senior has an easy smile and good vibes all around but he seems so far away. That's Sirius to a lot of them; a far away idol.

While everyone's eyes are at him, what about his eyes ?

Only at one.

"Look, is that... the Gryffindor prefect ?"

Remus leans on the wall by the Potion's classroom. Slytherins pass him with an odd look because what's he doing in enemy grounds ?

Then comes oh so menacing Sirius Black, skipping airily, imaginary flowers growing with every step.

The kids spilling out of the classroom tries hard not to look. Is that really Sirius Black ?
Is the blushing boy with his arms around a sweater covered waist really Sirius ?

Remus leans down to bump their noses together. "Hi." He greets.

Sirius has a special smile for Remus. It's not the smirking everyone's used to. It's a whipped, pure, puffy cheeked smile. Amazing how the punk legend is reduced to a fluffy golden retriever in Remus' hands.

"Guess what ?" Sirius teases, pulling Remus off the wall.

"Just tell me." The taller laughs.

"Nu-uh you have to guess."

Remus sighs though his hand continues to swing Sirius' as they walk. "Uhh Slughorn invited you to the Slug club ?"

Sirius makes a gagging noise. "Ew no. He taught me how to make Wolf's Bane."

"In fact," The boy rummages through his bag and produces a veil. "I have one right now."

Remus immediately pulls him to a hug. The students shuffle pass them, not knowing why a werewolf's potion is so important to two human boys.

Sirius giggles. Yes, giggles. Not the bark-like laughter the Gryffindors hear way too often. Not the slight Haha he gives to girls when they try to joke. He's bashful and his eyes smile before his lips does.

"I love you." Remus kisses his temple and they walk off to lunch, leaving the students blushing in their wake.

***

Punk Sirius who doesn't listen to the teachers let alone other students. Who transfigures Flitwick's wand into a goblet for the heck of it. Who doesn't fear any punishment, is scared of one.

"Sirius."

The students around Sirius froze. They were totally not planning anything. The 2nd year hufflepuffs glances nervously at Sirius while the Ravenclaws bite their lips, holding in their laughter. The Sirius wrangler is here.

"Shit." Sirius mutters when he feels a hand resting on his nape.

He turns around like a child caught by his mother. "Yes, moons ?"

"A word ?"

He swears the smile on his boyfriend is sweetly scary. Sirius scrambles to follow Remus out while the other kids wave him off, knowing what's up.

"You told me you won't get in pranking for the rest of this month." Remus says in that disappointed dad voice.

Sirius runs his hands on the soft wool of Remus' sweater. "It's not me getting in trouble. I'm just being a good mentor, you know, teaching the younglings of the Marauder way !"

Remus sighs, his lips go to Sirius' cheeks.  "Don't get caught sunflower. I can't cover for you if you do. Minnie warned me."

Sirius nodds, taking Remus hands. "I'll tell James too then, he's inside."

"Prongs' Evan's problem. Mine is you, Sirius Black."

Sirius smiles against his lips. "Mmhmm, I'm your problem."

Remus shakes his head defeatedly. Yet he kisses his boyfriend anyways.

"Yup, my problem which I hope," Remus squeezes his cheeks. "Does not get into more problems."

Sirius is Whipped with a capital W. Anything for his baby. He'll give up the one thing he swore of; being up to no good. Just for this month at least.

When they're older and Remus teaches at Hogwart's, the students were at awe. That's a two time war hero, werewolf and badass, teaching them how to expel a boggart.

"It's okay Neville, look I'll go first." Professor Lupin pats the quivering boy.

The cupboard opens and a handsome man walks out. The whole class knew who it was instantly. From the chocolate frog cards to the pictures in Gryffindor common room.

"Remus." Boggart Sirius says softly, his hand outstretched trying to reach him.

Remus blushes, looking away to the walls so he wouldn't get red-er. Harry, after whispering to Hermione and Ron, grins knowingly. Meanwhile the other kids are left to wnder if the two legends were close like THAT.

Boggart Sirius suddenly stops in his tracks and the class could see his majestic robes darkening. He clutches his stomach, mouth agape and eyes wide.  He falls to his knees as the stab wound spreads.

"Now, class, this is what you'll face. Very realistic forms of people you love, things you fear. But be brave and say," Professor Lupin points his wand. "Ridikkulus."

The Boggart cries and scrambles back to the wardrobe.

An applause came from the back of the room. Heads turn to find the real Sirius Black leaning on a table. Even when he's older, the girls and guys still blush at him.

He's dashingly charming. Worn, black leather jacket and skinny jeans. Dark hair bunched up into a ponytail. Sirius smiles proudly at a bashful Remus.

"Won't you all line up and take turns expelling the Boggart ? I have someone to deal with for a moment." Remus instructs and everyone follows.

Though they sneak looks to their professor ruffling THE Sirius Black's hair like it's nothing. Harry waves at his godfather and the other kids swarm him with questions later.

Hermione eagerly goes then the next and the next until Neville. Remus ignores Sirius for a while to gently talk to the boy. He whispers his idea and Neville's eyes turn to saucers.

"Watch." Remus smirks and Sirius still finds that incredibly hot after all those years.

Snape comes out with an old woman's clothes. Vulture hat, pink bag and obnoxiously shiny red heels. Sirius snorts so loudly, the kids laugh too.

Neville glows with pride.  He made Sirius laugh ! With Remus' nod, Neville points his wand at the weakened monster and finishes it off.

"Atta boy Neville !" Sirius cheers. Remus elbows him. He shuts up.

And just like old times, the two hears whispers.

"Did you see him hold his hand ?"

"Harry's so lucky."

"I guess we'll always be the talk of the town." Sirius brags.

Remus rolls his eyes and pulls their hips together.  Honestly, he could care less. They're just good ol' Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, nothing crazy about two blokes in love.

But for once, he lets the kids glance at them. He lets Dean tell him about Seamus and ask if he could give him tips. Sometimes it's great being THAT person.

"I guess we will."
