Oblivious // Wolfstar

The end

Remus packed his belongings in the big oak trunk he had received for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The once shiny,smooth surface was now fading and covered in blemishes. It was decorated in various stickers from different places, mainly shops in Hogsmead. The inside had a charm cast on it so it could fit in all of the miscellaneous knickknacks and items he had acquired over the years.

He sighed and took in his surrounds one last time before closing the heavy lid. The rest of the boys were already in the common room, waiting for him to finish packing. Remus' heightened senses picked up on the little things that most people didn't notice. The smell of the room, for example, was a mixture of old books and chocolate. There was a hint of dirty socks and smoke from all of the candles they had burned during their late night prank-planning sessions.

The werewolf grabbed the handle of his luggage and dragged it down the long staircase. By the end, he was wishing that he had remembered that he could use magic for this, he was indeed a wizard after all. Sirius spotted him struggling and rushed over to him.

" Here, lemme help you with that mate," Sirius said gallantly. He reached over almost reaching the handle, but instead, groped Remus' arse. The latter growled playfully and Sirius immediately retracted his hand.

" Just help me with this trunk, will you? It's more heavy than I anticipated," Remus stated grumpily. The Black gladly obliged and together with Sirius' strength from quidditch and Remus' small, yet effective muscles, they got to the great hall.

The said hall was bustling with exited young students ready to get home for the summer holiday. All of the large trunks were piled high in the middle of the room, ready to be loaded onto the scarlet locomotive known as The Hogwarts Express.

Sirius and James were talking to each other animatedly and Peter and Remus stood watching in admiration. The lycanthrope gazed at the other pupils chatting and took a long breath of the air.

It felt magical. Of course, this was a magic school and there were quite a few charms being cast, but this was different. Remus felt the magic of friendship, of opportunity, and of hope. He never really was a sucker for cheesy things, but sometimes he just couldn't help it.

" James, stop staring at Lily like a stalker and go talk to her!" Sirius shouted at his best friend. He gave him a slight nudge towards the said ginger.

James rolled his eyes but bit his lip nervously.

" But , what if she hates me? Or what if she doesn't like me back? It' completely possible that she's already dating someone, I mean, come on! Look at her!"

Sirius snickered at this comment.

" That's entirely true, Prongs. I guess you'll never know unless you go find out!"

The messy haired boy groaned and reluctantly made his way over to Lily.

The three other boys watched as he awkwardly started a conversation with his long-time crush. Remus laughed as his friend turned bright red at something Lily said.

Soon getting bored with the interaction, Sirius sought entertainment from his boyfriend. He took Remus' hand in his own and dragged him outside.

" Moooony," he complained, " I'm booored!"

Remus chuckled and released his friend's hand. Grinning he replied," I suggest you do something about that then, Padfoot"

Sirius groaned and dropped to the ground. Remus plopped down beside him, taking the other boy's hand once again. He rubbed little circles in it out of habit.

Sirius sighed and closed his eyes.

" I could lie here forever with you, Rem."

The mentioned boy blushed and hummed in reply.

" Yeah?"

" Definitely. I don't know how I'll survive without you."

Remus faced the taller boy and inched closer to him, ever so slightly. He pressed his lips against the animagi's softer ones. He tangled his fingers through Sirius' long black hair as the his companion played with his own curly brown locks.

Sirius sighed in contentment. The sun blazed down on them, it's powerful rays burning their skin. Remus pulled away.

" We should probably go inside or we'll get a sunburn," Remus said, almost disappointed.
His boyfriend laughed teasingly.

" Only you, white boy."

The werewolf slapped Sirius' arm and pulled him up.

" I'm serious-" he started.

" No, I am!"

Remus rolled his eyes, giving up hope with his boyfriend's immature behavior. He dragged the laughing boy behind him and made his way back into the great hall.

The sound of a whistle blasted throughout the train. The Marauders were in their signature compartment, discussing what they were going to do over the summer.

" Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm doing homework! Professor Bins assigned 3 feet on the history of enchanted quills!"

" Oh, Moony! You're so boring! Don't you ever do anything fun?"

The question was meant to be a lighthearted tease, but it made Remus feel a twist of something inside.

Sirius immediately noticed the slight change in the werewolf's behavior. He shoved James and gave him a glare.

" Oh, shove off! You know, maybe you should do your homework. Then you'd actually get a decent score for once!"

James scoffed and looked at Sirius intently.

" Who are you and what have you done with my best mate?"

Sirius tried to keep a straight face, but in the end he guffawed loudly. Tears welled in his eyes from laughing so hard.

" You're right! I don't know what came over me!"

Throughout the long journey back to London, the air was filled with childish banter in the boys' compartment. Sometimes it lulled to quiet snores from various residents and hushed whispers from the others.

During one of these times, it happened to be Remus and Sirius who were awake. Sirius massaged the lycanthrope's back gingerly, while they talked of their summer plans.

" I'll probably just be locked away all summer like I was last year," Sirius said bitterly.

" Yeah, I probably won't do much besides reading."

Sirius curled up to his love and inhaled his scent.

" I wish there was a way we could see each other."

Remus hummed his agreement. He thought for a moment before an idea popped into his head.

" The dog park."

" Pardon?"

" The dog park, Siri. The one you went to last summer holiday!"

Sirius grinned like an idiot and kissed Remus' head.

" I love you, Moony."

And they were oblivious of the years to come...

So my friends, that is the end to Oblivious. It was a rushed story and an intro to much better stories to come ( I hope🤞🏼). The next story of this trilogy is going to be called " Ignorance". I hope you enjoy it.
