CW - Child abuse

“Remember Sirius, you are representing The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black while you are at school and your actions will reflect that, am I making myself clear?” Walburga growled out to himå without even looking down, yet somehow she caught him rolling his eyes. Sirius felt the cut even before the blood could begin to ooze out as she sliced her long, pointed nail across the back of his hand.

“Yes, Mother,” He quickly responded, bowing his head and covering the scratch with his other hand.

“Good. Now go and find a seat. We will be expecting your return during the Yule holidays. Your cousins will be reporting back to me any failures in your behaviour,” She paused, and her eyes flicked down to her other side. “You may say goodbye to your brother,”

Sirius immediately rushed around her and gathered Regulus into his arms before she could change her mind.

“I’ll write you everyday. I love you Reggie,” He quickly told him, wiping away a tear from Regulus’s cheek before their mother saw. “I’ll be back before you know it, promise,” Regulus didn’t answer him, probably because his voice would show emotion and Walburga would drag him away. Sirius pulled him in for one last hug and made his way to catch the train.

He found an empty carriage. There was luggage in the luggage rack, but no one was sitting in it, so he hoisted his own trunk up opposite the one already in there and sat down to look out at Regulus and his mother waiting on the platform. 

He waved at Reggie and got a little half-wave back before Walburga's mouth twitched, and he stood up with his back straight. Sirius hated that he was leaving Regulus alone in that house, but there was nothing he could do about it. He sighed as he tried to figure out again a way to keep Reggie safe while he wasn’t there, but his thoughts were cut short as the compartment door banged open.

“Oi, dickhead, I’m sitting there,” Sirius looked at the scruffy looking boy with the out of place sandy curls, untucked shirt, scuffed boots and a long thin scar that started at the back of his jaw, trailed down his neck and disappeared into his creased collar, and knew this foul-mouthed boy was exactly the type of person his mother had warned him about.

“Sirius Black,” he declared happily, offering his hand to the boy.

“Remus Lupin,” Remus returned the greeting, shaking his hand and settling into the seat next to him.

The train began to pull away and Sirius looked out of the window and watched Regulus until he couldn’t see him any more. He slumped back in his seat. “Chocolate?” Remus asked him as he offered the muggle chocolate bar to him. Sirius looked at him wide-eyed and eagerly took the offered treat. He’d never had muggle anything.

“Thanks,” he beamed, taking a bite of something called a Mars bar. He groaned as the myriad of flavours hit his tongue. He sighed happily and thought he was going to like Hogwarts very much, especially if grumpy, scruffy near strangers like Remus Lupin gave him chocolate. 

[neongreenllama]

Remus laid down his cards. A straight flush, yet again.

“I don’t like this.” Sirius exasperatedly threw down his own terrible hand which consisted of nothing but a weak pair.

“You just don’t like it because it’s the one thing you’re not good at.”

“How come you’re so good at it?” he asked petulantly.

Remus just shrugged, the wanker, and mildly replied with, “Pokerface.”

“Bullshit. You’re cheating.”

He didn’t confess, but he didn’t deny either. Instead, he said, “You lost, you have to pay up.”

Sirius wasn’t sure if he really saw the glimmer in his eyes and the tiniest tug of the corner of his mouth, or if he’d just imagined it.

“You’ve already robbed me of everything I have!”

Remus pointedly raised his eyebrows.

He thought about just not paying and seeing what happened, but then he huffed and stood up to remove his last item of clothing, while the other man was still fully dressed save for his socks. When he was done, he angrily let his hands fall to his sides.

“Happy?” he bit out.

“Mhh.”

That stupid wanker and his stupid smile.

“Strip poker is fun, they said. Strip poker is sexy, they said. Fuck them and their stupid strip poker. Nothing sexy about losing …” he grumbled and then he shut up when Remus pulled him close by the hips.

“You’re not done paying your debts yet,” the other man mumbled against his stomach.

Sirius wanted to stay angry, he really did.

He lost at that too.

Regulus (whispering to Remus): Good job on the test today.

Remus (whispering back): Thanks shorty. Why are we whispering?

Regulus (still whispering): I want Sirius to think we're conspiring against him. Please look at him when you reply.

Remus (looking at Sirius): Messing with my boyfriend? Fun .

Regulus (also looking at Sirius): I'm glad you agree.

Sirius, sweating in fear: What are they talking about?

James, who overheard them but doesn't want to ruin their fun: Stabbing

[theyrealllesbians]

Obsessed with the idea that Remus uses all the marauders being animagi as blackmail.

Sirius catches Remus eating chocolate even though he is under strict instruction from Pomphrey to not eat it just to see if it makes his migraines go away. Remus immediately responds with "yeah, I suppose it is weird that I'm eating chocolate, Pads. But you know what would be weirder, Dumbledore finding out a black dog was in the Gryffindor common room last night?" Sirius doesn't utter a word.

James catches Remus studying the night before a moon, knowing it will make him tired and grumpy in the morning, making the moon even worse. "Moons. Go. To. Bed. I'll go get Sirius." He is stood there with his arms crossed and as stern of an expression as he can muster. "You go get Sirius and I'll tell Regulus you're a deer. Yeah, that's what I thought, now leave me to it Prongs, I'm fine."

Peter watches as Remus tries to get ready for classes, even though he has the worst cold their dorm has ever seen. "Remus, I swear to Merling, go back to bed, you idiot. You can't even walk straight, you are that ill!!!" In the most hoarse, scratchy voice ever, Remus just bites back a weak "I will report you to the ministry Peter, just you wait."

Remus knows it's never a comparable threat, but it works for him every time, so why would he stop?

[adharastarlight]

The Marauders on a road trip:

Sirius driving at 90

James: slow down, mate

Sirius speeds up

Reg: slow down.

Sirius ignores him

Remus: Slow. Down.

Sirius immediately slows down to 50

[not-rab]

James: I’m gay

Remus: I know

James: …

James: Do u think Regulus knows?

[ultravioletbrit]

“miss” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 222 words

James stands with his bag on his shoulder, Sirius has his on the ground at his feet.

“I’ll miss you, Pads.” James tells him solemnly.

“Yeah, I’ll miss you, too.” Sirius looks up from where he was staring at the ground.

“They do know we’re just driving in separate cars, right?” Regulus asks Remus as they’re leaning against one of the cars.

“I’ve seen them do this when one of them has to go to the bathroom.” Remus tells him dryly and Regulus rolls his eyes pushing himself off the car.

“Alright, idiots, let’s go or we’re going to be late.” Regulus yells and gets in the passenger seat of James’ car.

A moment later James gets in the driver’s side and Regulus just stares at him.

“What?” James asks.

“Should I be worried?” Regulus jokingly asks and James rolls his eyes.

“That? That’s all for show. You–” James leans over and kisses Regulus. “–have my whole heart.” James tells him.

“I’m going to tell him you said that.” Regulus says as he turns to grab his seatbelt. When he turns back, James is staring at him with actual fear in his eyes.

Regulus rolls his eyes and shakes his head as he leans in to kiss James. James starts the car and they follow Sirius and Remus, but James sends Regulus nervous glances the entire drive.

[hearts4dorlene]

Remus: I'm just going shopping with Dorcas to help them with their Christmas presents for Marlene, do you want anything?

Sirius: No thanks Moony, love you, bye!

Remus: I love you too, see you later!

Regulus: Merlin, you guys are so gay

Sirius: Homophobia doesn't work when you are quite literally fucking my best friend Reg

James: *jaw dropped*

Prompt 17 - Beast

@wolfstarmicrofic September 17, word count 567

Previous part First Wolfstar part

Over the next few days, they set up training classes for those in the pack who wanted to learn. Sirius was surprised by how many signed up. They had to share wands for the moment. A few had their own already, and by partnering up with those who didn’t, they had just enough for one between two. 

“Now you must follow the exact wand movement I show you, or you’ll blow your partner’s head off,” Remus warned the group. Some of the wolves shifted nervously, but Sirius had seen the mischievous glint in his eye. He was only joking, the worst a Depulso would do was give you a headache for a few hours. “Alight, repeat after me. Depulso!” Remus cast the spell on Sirius. Sirius was lifted off his feet and soared backwards through the air, landing on the cushions they’d transfigured from handfuls of moss. “Right, everybody, give it a go, and we’ll come round and help if you need it,” Remus told the group. He had Sirius, Regulus and James all waiting to jump in. It took a few hours, but by the end, all the wolves had cast a decent Depulso and walked back to the camp, chatting merrily.

“Marcus?” Sirius got the attention of the other wolf as they followed the others. “Can you explain what you meant the other day about me being a second, what is that?” It had been bugging him for days. He’d meant to ask, but then the diadem and the cup and his father happened. He’d totally forgotten about it, until now, when he’d had more than a second to think. 

“Oh, that, it just means you stepped up to the plate. You took over beside Remus, and the magics chose you. I was filling in, but I guess I’m more of a third now,” He shrugged. “Basically, your word is law unless Remus overrules you. You’re also in charge if Remus isn’t around or if he dies while a new leader is picked, though most of the time, the second becomes the new pack leader,” His expression turned serious. “You’re a totally different beast than what you were before, being a second comes with new magics as well. You’ll be stronger in your wolf form and be able to order us. It’s not as strong as Remus’s, but still, you’re a boss man now, and that my friend comes with responsibilities,” Sirius stared at him with wide eyes. New magics? New pack powers? His head was spinning with all the information. He’d never meant to invoke anything, he was just tired of them shouting at Remus. 

“Well shit,” He breathed. He was becoming even more entwined with the wolf pack. He hadn’t even thought about what would happen to them after the war was over. He’d just assumed he and Remus would leave and drop right back into their old lives once they didn’t have to hide any more. He was the Black family heir as well and that had its own responsibilities. But now, he couldn’t see himself leaving them. 

He had a lot to think about. Marcus left him to it, sensing he was lost in his thoughts. Could he do it? Could he permanently become part of the wolf pack? He needed to discuss everything with Remus. Remus would know what to do. He hurried after Marcus, determined to sort everything out.  

Next part

[my-castles-crumbling]

Some random student: So, are you going to ask a girl to Hogsmeade?

Sirius, deeply offended: You think I’m straight???

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Remus: how did Reggie first came out to you?

Sirius: well there were always signs, but when he really did, he did it by giving me a bunch of blue cupcakes and a greeting card that said "it's a boy!"

Remus: That's cute

Sirius: It was NOT cute!

Sirius: I thought he was pregnant.

[addsalwayssick]

James: next time someone says smth mean to me i’m going to go to their room in the middle of the night and be like “mummy i threw up 🙁”

Regulus: You’re an ugly rat

James:

Regulus: are you coming now

[adharastarlight]

James, over breakfast: why aren't breakfast dates more of a thing?

Sirius: because that's stupid???

Regulus, from the other table: I'll take you on a dinner date and a breakfast date the next day

Sirius spits out his juice

James very quickly agrees
