Marauders
He carved into his bed again.
They were right, it did have a nice ring to it.
Two days until the next full moon. Twelve hours until tomorrow's classes. Roughly thirty seconds before James asked him to have another piece of the candy he was eating.
Sirius popped into his mind again.
"No", he thought to himself as he continued to fight it.
Carvings and countdowns used to be the only thing that steadied Remus's mind, why was he struggling now?
Remus sighed. He hated that vexatious grin of his, yet it kept overriding his thoughts.
"Is it cool if I have another piece?", James asked just as he had predicted.
"Yeah", Remus tossed him one.
He didn't have this feeling with James, or Peter, or anyone else for that matter. Played records, borrowed books, and shared secrets were moments all friends shared, but why did it feel so different with him?
He turned back over and figured one last carving couldn't hurt. He decided to go back to his old routine of writing his name, maybe the familiarity of it would ground himself again.
He pulled his hand away abruptly as he noticed he had subconsciously began to write an "S" instead of an "R"
"Shit", he thought to himself, "This is really getting bad."
That stupid Sirius Black grin of his.
*********
That was just a little snippet of a future scene I'd thought of, trying to set the tone :) This fic is pretty slow-paced at first, as both are hesitant in their feelings, but I promise it's worth the wait. The story is mostly told in Remus's third person pov, with small bits of Sirius's scattered here and there. I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT, feel free to leave comments and feedback, I love reading them <3

I Love You Padfoot (ENG)
What if in the year of the Marauders there was one more girl who would be worthy of being called Marauders? How would history have unfolded then? The biggest school Casanova and a small and quite mean witch. What happens when these two characters meet? ""And why are you so scared?" Lily laughed seeing her friend. The teenager moved towards her, and as soon as she saw Padfoot, she grabbed the red-haired's hand and dragged her to the corridor. "What's wrong?" Evans was surprised. "I start to worry." "Lily." Girl looked seriously at her friend. "Look, I don't know exactly how it happened, but..." Began, then took a deep breath and finished. "I slept with Sirius. " "How did I know I'd find you here?" James approached sad teenager. "It's not normal for you to be so sad. What happened?" He asked with concern. "I got lost in all this, James..." Girl whispered. "I don't know what I really feel anymore." "Is it about Sirius?" Boy guessed at which she nodded hesitantly. "Go ahead and talk to me." He encouraged her to talk. "Listen, Sirius is my friend, and so are you. Don't worry, I won't tell him. I promise." Potter smiled warmly. "Whatever you tell me, it stays between us." "Thank you." She replied with a shy smile. "You know... I think I'm in love with him... " They both don't know the exact meaning of love. Will all this change in the near future? • Coloring Book Cover by Lean •Complete
Scars|| r. lupin
She was tired, she was so bloody tired of it all. From the constant nagging and picking and pulling to the waking up at 6 am everyday to do that stupid crap. She didn't think it was stupid really, she just didn't like having to do it. She didn't really like having to do schoolwork either, but she found herself to be fond of the teachers and the curriculums. Most of all though, she didn't mind being at school all too much because it kept her away from the house. She found James to be nice, and Sirius to be troublesome, Peter was quite thoughtful, but Remus, he was kind to her. She had found that Remus was her favorite of them all, he was really very kind to her. What she had really come to see though, was the fact that he had scars too, and that meant they matched. Mature content. There are certain parts of this story that I will put a trigger warning before but you should keep cautioun when reading because I mention a lot of triggering things and topics in this book including self harm, abuse, mental illnesses etc. Also, the first year is really shitty writing and like the first part of fourth but I swear it gets so much better. I just haven't gotten around to editing the bad bits yet :( Credit to J.K. Rowling for the characters and parts of the plot and obviously Hogwarts fandom and Everything Harry Potter related. But, credit to J.K. Rowling. I mean- for everything other than my plots and characters too so.Complete
Brightest (Sirius Black X Reader)
Sirius Black. There is no denying that the boy is very charming. To add more to the charm, is the fact that Sirius came from the well known pureblood family. The noble house of Black. To cut a long story short, he's the brightest star of Hogwarts. Sirius Black and (Y/n) (Y/l/n) aren't friends, nevertheless, the two are still familiar with each other. Having been partners with a task before, not to mention one of Sirius' friend, James, is head over heels for Lily Evans, a friend of (Y/n). The two converses with each other occasionally, only not in ways they might like it to be. Though when Remus Lupin befriended (Y/n), the girl found herself caught in an unexpected bond with the rest of the boy's friends. Yet it seems as if (Y/n) has favorites as she and Sirius became much closer to each other, so much so that the rest of the boy's friends took notice of Sirius Black trying his best to shine the brightest even more. ______________________________ I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters.

Unrelenting Fate: A Marauders Era AU
James, Sirius and Remus were shocked when Peter walked calmly towards the Ravenclaw table, but they were even more shocked when instead of being ignored, he was greeted warmly by not only Royan Chase, Head Boy and Ravenclaw quidditch captain, but two beautiful girls. ************* Adelaide Harthwood enjoyed the shy Gryffindor boy's sweet nature and kind smile. It was refreshing compared to the arrogance that floated around Potter and Black. ************* When their paths cross and James Potter is awed by the fiery Ravenclaw girl, he doesn't know what to do or say. But when James has something (or someone) on his mind, he is unrelenting. And as fate would have it, so is Adelaide. -------- I am writing this just for fun, so if you don't like my ships or character changes then don't read.

Dumbledore offers him a position at the Hogwarts library as an assistant. There he can do research for the Order, as well as spend his moons like he did during his school years.

RUB A DUB
It's been a few weeks now. Remus hears them every fucking night, and he can't stand it anymore. Well he doesn't hear them usually because of the silencing spell, but he knows they're here, every night, fucking in his dorm. He knows it because he smells them. He smells sweat and sex, and that's the worst thing ever. He hears her walk in every night around eleven thirty, go to his bed, and cast the silencing spell. They could have a bit of modesty and do it somewhere else, where there's not other people sleeping for god's sake. At first he was surprised when they started dating. He was friends with Mary long before Sirius even knew her name, so he'd thought she'd have told him. But he'd started realize there wasn't much between them, except for their night meetings. A group of first year had surprised them in an embarrassing situation and decided to tell the whole Gryffindor common room that Sirius Black had a girlfriend. They didn't want to tell the truth, that they were only "fuck-buddies", so they played along with it. Or how Sirius and Remus got together in 5th year, after a series of unexpected events.
