Sirius
Sirius can’t wait to see Remus.
He spent the whole summer at the Potters after the whole fiasco the previous year. He, James, and Pete spent days playing quidditch or laying out in the sun. The only thing missing was Remus.
He wasnt able to visit all summer. He said in letters that it was because his mom or dad was sick or something like that, but none of them believed him. He was known for just disappearing and making himself scarce for no reason so Sirius was getting a little worried to be honest. He seemed distant in every letter that he wrote. Like he wasn’t interested in them anymore.
But Sirius told himself it’s fine. He would make Remus like them again if it was the last thing he did.
So as he walked on the train to Hogwarts he was determined to show Remus just how good of a friend he could be.
Remus
Sirius Black is gonna be the death of him.
He felt bad for not visiting all summer but he just couldn’t. His crush on Sirius had grown into something Remus didnt want to admit to himself and if he had to see him glistening with sweat, shirtless after a game of quidditch in the Potters’ backyard-. Well let’s just say he wouldn’t be able to be held responsible for his actions.
So the whole summer instead of hanging out with the marauders he found other ways to occupy his time. He spent days smoking weed or messing around with the neighborhood boys. Anything to get his mind off of Sirius, his beautiful, totally straight bestfriend. Even started working out! Working out! Can you believe it?
So when he walked onto the platform to get onto the train he was determined to push his little crush aside and just be like any normal kid would be around their best mate.
Sirius
Where is he?
Sirius and the others had been waiting in the carriage for quite a while talking about everything and nothing. It was almost time to depart and Remus was still nowhere to be seen. Thoughts spiraled through his head, maybe he just got tired of us and decided to go sit with some other kids . But his train of thought is stopped when the hottest man ever walks through the door. It take Sirius a second to realize its Remus.
He’s grown about half a foot, with abs that poke through a practically see through shirt. A lit cigarette is hanging halfway out of his mouth and he had beat-up doc martens that should not, I repeat not , look that good. And to top it of he has his septum pierced. His fucking septum pierced. What could be hotter!
It takes Sirius a second to realize he gaping and shuts his mouth. He looks over at the other boys and realizes they had simliar expressions on their faces.
Its James who says something first, “WHAT THE FUCK?!” This is then followed by a series of barely intelligible questions from Sirius and Pete about literally everything.
Remus just walks into the carriage and puts his stuff up. He starts chuckling at their odd behavior. “Okay slow down, what are you all even talking about?”
Sirius just stares at him as Pete says, “Remus fucking Lupin, you have grown 25 million feet, you’re ripped, and you’ve apparently taken up a smoking habit. What do you mean, ‘What are we talking about’. Just look at yourself!” James nods enthusiastically as Sirius continues to stare.
Remus just laughs again and takes a long drag, then picks up a book and starts reading. The others stare at him for a bit longer till they start up a conversation again. Sirius just continues to stare, and after a while Remus looks up and meets his gaze. He sure he turns an unnatural shade of red and he looks away quickly. He can still feel Remus’ burning gaze on him but he ignores it.
Well, there goes his plan to become a better best mate, now all he can do is stare at this new Remus, who is somehow even hotter. Oh shit, how is he gonna get through this year…
