messers moony, wormtail, padfoot, and prongs
Authors note: Sorry I haven't been active much, I've been very busy making memories in this reality. Summer holidays have started so expect a little bit more of me, at least until September.
So here's the next chapter, ever wonder why they chose to put their names in that specific order? (other than it just sounding cooler)
-------------------
It all started with the moon, or him, or it as Remus likes to call it, at least that's his version. the other three versions? Chaos, mischief and so many more laughs and memories to make. but soon, even though he still despised himself and that thing inside of him, he started to think like the others.
It continued when they found out about the thing, how they could have run. Or scream. Or cry. Or run towards the nearest teacher and panic about why there is such a dangerous monster let loose in the castle, let alone the dorms.
'he could have eaten us while we were sleeping for goodness sake!'
But they didn't do that. They didn't run, or scream, or cry. What they did is that the patted him on his back and told him that "we're always here for you mate, yeah?" It shocked him almost as mush as they had been shocked before. Then they went back to whatever they were doing, playing a card game like they weren't just sitting next to one of the most dangerous creatures in the book " fantastic creatures, and where to find them"
Now he has almost the same amount of shock to hear what his friends have done, of course, now it all makes sense. Most things do after seeing the result. Last month was heaven for all of the castle, and now Remus understands why they were so quiet.
A loud squeak echoes through his skull and he was brought back to the present with small claws scraping along his shoulder. It was unbelievable. incredible, amazing.
"This is amazing" Remus voiced his thoughts " How did you-why did- how-why...what?" His brain was having a hard time catching up with his mouth, or was it the other way around? He looked up towards his two smiling, no, beaming, friends and suddenly his chest was filled with warmth. To think they went through all of this for him, not because they wanted to do it, even though Remus was sure that was part of why they wanted to do this. They did it for him.
Remus' eyes brimmed with tears as James brought him into a hug followed by Sirius and a tiny brush of whiskers on his cheek from peter.
"Okay, now to tell you the bad news" James turned to Sirius and gestured towards Remus' arm where Peter was sitting happily. Sirius inhales sharply "Pettigrew cant turn back"
--------------
After that, and after Peter managed to transform back into himself, Sirius and James also revealed that it hadn't worked for them yet, Yet!
"We're just taking time to choose our Animagus aren't we James"
James nodded slowly "Yep just taking our sweet, sweet time" Sirius looked at James, and James looked back. They stared at each other very silently before something came out of Sirius' mouth that corrupted the entire week.
"I bet I can turn into my Animagus before you!"
"How much?" James smirked.
"Fifty galleons" Sirius said triumphantly
"Fine then I vote sixty Galleons" James smirked, Remus didn't know how they could bet all that money, but knowing that this wasn't the first time that they've bet high numbers, its always funny to see who looses and how much their money bag increases.
Sirius and James smiled. It was on
---------------------
The quiet snoring of peter cut through the silent room making quite a rhythmic beat to read to, even if one of bowies song was playing on repeat in his head. His fingers drummed the edge of the book as his long hair curled on the pages.
Shuffling on his right caught his attention, turning to look beside him, Sirius caught an image that made his heart swell and his cheeks flush. A mop of curly mousey brown hair was flattened against the pillow. Freckles danced over his face, particularly over his nose, and is pale pink lips stood still, perfectly parted. Remus loved sleep, it was where nothing bad could get him, or at least very easily.
Sirius knows that he was staring a bit too long, If he'd done that a year ago, he would have brushed it off, saying that he got lost in thought, its just that his eyes were on Remus at the time.
But now, he knows that feeling. He embraces it. Loves it. The way that Remus could make him melt with those dark brown eyes, long eyelashes and that smile.
His heart jumped as he heard peter give a particularly loud snore, and it was that moment that he found himself on all fours, with legs as skinny as twigs and body as furry as well, a dog. He almost yelped out of joy, instead he settled with a huff.
Deciding to celebrate his victory of winning the bet, Sirius the dog, slowly jumped down from his bed, admittingly a little wobbly and braced his friends for what they were about to see. Giving his hind legs (whoa, he's a dog) a push, and successfully landed on the edge of his best friends bed.
Carefully and slowly as to not wake him yet, Sirius slowly moved closer and closer to his target before attacking him with a face full of slobbering dog kisses. Barking happily as James flailed round under his bedsheets turned into silent shock as he was now sitting on top of a very large deer.
It stayed there for moment, as though a 'deer in headlights ' before giving out a very confused bleat, Sirius barked in response before jumping down and running past his bed to the others. Jumping quietly on top of Remus' bed, as carefully as he could, Sirius sat down beside him.
Rolling onto his stomach as Remus turned, still very much asleep, he poked his tongue out and gave a short sweet kiss to his nose. Remus' face scrunched up whilst Sirius almost yelped with how fast his heart was going. Granted it wasn't a proper kiss, but it was a dog one and that counted, right? oh merlin his face, its too cute.
Large brown eyes, looking almost black in this light opened and stared into the others. Another quick kiss wouldn't hurt. Remus fell off the bed as Sirius whined, jumping down and sniffing over his friend, instincts taking over, checking if this human he cared about wasn't hurt. No blood, good.
James gave a short bleat over the other side of the room, followed by a short grunt as Sirius barked back as though they could understand each other. Remus, looked between the black dog in front of him and the large stag in James bed. Putting the pieces together in his very tired brain he groaned.
"O merlin, faint o'r gloch yw hi?" Sirius tilted his head as Remus groaned at the time making up a decision In his head.
Gesturing to whatever James was doing over the other side of the room, with his accent heavy in his words "I don't care what you are doing, I'm going back to sleep"
Curing up under his duvets, Remus felt a presence beside him, turning to find a quiet, black haired dog, looking at him with large black eyes. Remus felt a sile tug at his lips, taking him hand out of the warmth he brought it up towards him.
"can I?" the dog huffed "Ill take that as a yes" Sirius loved it when Remus was tired, his welsh accent heavily intertwined with his words made his heart flutter. What he did next however soothed the playful side of him, nerves seemed to go haywire as his hand carefully caressed the soft fur that Sirius contained. Remus laughed as he scratched behind Sirius' right ear and the bed slightly shook from his leg.
All in all Sirius won 60 galleons, and got closer with Remus.
Not a bad night if he des say so himself.
