Summary: The Marauders, in the prime of their lives, from the last day they set foot at Hogwarts all the way to a reunion thirteen years nearly too late. *Remus/Sirius-centric, relatively canon-compliant, for all of us who would like Remmius to have their happy ending—enjoy your fluff here! Ch11: Home at last.

"The first thing I want…," Remus panted, "…is a bloody chocolate milkshake."

James nodded alongside him, and Frank gave him an encouraging smile as the three of them walked the short distance from where they'd Apparated to James' flat. "I want a shower," James piped up.

"I want to sleep in a real bed," Frank stated, and he rubbed the dark circles under his eyes for good measure.

"I still want my milkshake," the werewolf grumbled.

"When it's this cold, Remus?" Frank asked. He pointed to their surroundings. "There's even snow out, mate."

James waved him off. "Give it up, Frank. In any shape or form, he's gotta satisfy that sweet tooth of his or there'll be consequences to pay."

"What'd you mean?"

"Well, you see, once, Sirius ate his last chocolate bar kinda out of boredom and general laziness. You remember that time when McGonagall was so angry that she almost hexed those Slytherins during Transfiguration?"

"Fifth year, yeah, of course."

"Even McGonagall would've been scared of that Remus."

Frank whistled. "Wooh, boy. Gotcha."

"It'd be nice if you two stopped chatting away whilst I'm right here," Remus remarked pointedly to James as James unlocked the door to his place and they went up the stairs.

James grinned. "But isn't it better to be talked about and remembered than not talked about at all and be forgotten?"

"Good Merlin, your kind of logic will do us all in, Prongs," Remus mumbled.

"Love you, too, Moony."

Any ill will was forgotten and dropped when Lily and Alice woke up in the living room and greeted their significant others. Remus felt sorely like a third wheel, though he appreciated the girls still fawning over him, as they were all friends there. Remus wondered how Sirius was, though, as he hadn't been on call but he wasn't there with them either.

"Sorry I'm late!"

To answer Remus' internal question, Sirius burst through the door, his face red and his fringe in his eyes. He tugged his scarf off and grinned. Remus thought it a funny kind of magic that a smile from Sirius was all it took to make his mood do a one-eighty. "Never a gathering without you, Sirius," he said, unable to keep from smiling back.

"Moony!" He walked—well, sort of ran—right up to him and grabbed him. He managed to pick him up off the floor so he could give him a twirling hug, and then he set him back down. He hugged James, too, but not as enthusiastically, and he shook Frank's hand. "Well, by the looks of things, you three obviously made it."

"With the unnerving news that most of the werewolves like You-Know-Who's ideas," Frank stated as he wrapped his arms around Alice's waist for comfort.

"And those who aren't joining now are remaining neutral—in the meantime," Remus finished. "They have the right and ability to change their minds anytime, so we've got to step lightly."

James furrowed his brow. "Do you think they might alert other dens that we're going around…essentially recruiting?"

Remus shrugged. "They might. But we can't know for sure, so our job won't end. Werewolves are fickle by nature—they're with one side one moment, and the other the next. All we can be certain of is that, ultimately, they're for themselves."

An uneasy quiet settled over the six of them, only to be broken by Lily. "We should owl Dumbledore and let him know you're all back safe and sound."

"I'll come with," James said. "I've got something I want to say to him…" The couple went down the hall and disappeared, and Frank and Alice relaxed in a large chair by the window in James' living room. Remus felt awkward once more, but then Sirius led him into the kitchen, which was a separate room like the rest.

"Nothing bad happened, right?" Sirius asked as he sat Remus down at the kitchen counter and draped his cloak over his friend's shoulders.

"No, not really. We were inconspicuous where we were, and we were upwind of the wolves, so the rain-turned-snow kept our scents practically buried." He sighed and rolled his shoulders. "I was a little wound up, though, I'll admit."

In the blink of an eye, Sirius was standing behind him, rubbing his shoulders. It was a heavenly touch, and Remus was very thankful that he and Sirius managed communication without words sometimes. Remus leaned on his arms on the counter while Sirius' thumbs worked the kink out of the lycanthrope's neck.

"…thank you, Pad," Remus said, muffled, into his sleeves.

Sirius gently chuckled and leaned against Remus' back, hugging his shoulders. "It's nothing, Moony. You just look more exhausted than usual."

"I feel that way, too."

Sirius nodded against his back. "Then can I do something else for you?"

"…chocolate milkshake."

"…er, what?"

"I want a chocolate milkshake," Remus mumbled.

Sirius backed away and faced Remus, who looked up at him. "Seriously?"

"Yes." Remus furrowed his brow. "Oh, wait… You know, let me get it. If you…"

"If I, what? C'mon, Moony, even I can handle a simple milkshake."

"I'm sure Prongs would appreciate it if you didn't make his kitchen look as though a tornado blew through it, mate."

Sirius winked, and Remus' stomach flip-flopped again. "Remmy, just let me take care of you for once." When Remus said nothing, he rummaged through James' freezer and found a carton of chocolate ice-cream from Florean Fortescue's, and then he dug out milk from the fridge, which had been well-stocked in James' absence. Sirius grabbed a large glass and dumped the two ingredients into the cup, and then he used a spell to whip the two things together. He even found chocolate chips to put in the drink. And, truth be told, there was not a lot to clean up once he was done. He turned around and placed it in front of Remus with a straw. "There you go, Remmy."

Remus quirked one eyebrow but sipped it—and smiled like a lazy cat. It was funny how the smallest comforts in life could make everything so much better… And then Sirius swiped the glass to sip it himself.

"Hey, this is pretty good," he said with another devilish grin.

"Sirius…! That's mine! Get your own!"

"Isn't it good to share, Moony?"

Remus' face reddened, as the thought of an indirect kiss via the straw came to mind. "Just give it back. Or at least get your own straw." He took the glass back and took a big gulp—and, as suggested, Sirius stuck his own straw in the glass.

"Well, good to know you aren't completely heartless, Rem," Sirius said.

Remus looked at that mischievous face and laughed. With Sirius, there was no winning. And really, he thought as he sipped from one side and stared into Sirius' eyes from across the few centimeters spanning the glass, is it such a bad thing to act like a couple like this?

Especially when he isn't running away?

Remus' already red face darkened another crimson shade, but Sirius did not appear deterred by his friend's odd reactions. In fact, if Remus weren't mistaken, Sirius seemed to be enjoying them.

"Oh, and, hey, Remus?"

"Yes, Sirius?"

Sirius rested his forehead against Remus'. "Welcome home."

OMG. 8D This could've been a sweet oneshot on its own… X3 I. Love. This chapter. And the next few will be good, possibly/maybe tied to this one (well, 12 definitely is). So I can't wait to hear from you guys!

Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave an anon/unsigned review via the FFN link or comment via the AO3 link at the top of the post, especially if you enjoyed this!

2017 note: Still one of my fav chapters. -w- It just. It's so cozy?? So, funny personal note. Back in 2011, when this story came out, I had zero interest in milkshakes. Now I'm a chocolate milkshake addict. *lol* Though I like it straight ice-cream with milk, and nothing else. So yummy… -w-

Episode #5: "his Kirby ass can shut the hell up” - Marie

Charlie being safe!? Yas. Good for me since he is part of my alliance.

An alice them challenge. Uh yass!! 🦑 i have the book so i can quickly look thru it and find people, items, food, and other stuff which is good for us. I dont want to go to tribal.

nicolegilmoreToday at 7:42 PM That was probably Kaleigh bc I would open messages and not answer them

that was about when we played before and she was part of a 3 person catfish. but funny enough it still applies to this game!!! love when she leaves me on read for 20 hours

So I feel good with my standing in this tribe tbh. I feel like I have made meaningful contributions to the tribe in challenges and have a good rapport with a few tribe members. Keaton and Marie might be the easiest too get out, even though I am aware that it makes me a threat but we been used to that feeling. Having the idol as extra security as well makes me feel good so eeeek. I just want too survive to merge and link up with new people and people who i know as well, and play off that. im super nervous but also excited, i just hope to god we win this immunity

At first I thought this Alice and wonderland challenge was going to be super fun an exciting. At first it was. Now its getting a little frustrating and annoying seeing Not Found (something along those lines). I'm hoping that our 28 items is higher than the other tribe's or at least being a tie. I want to avoid tribal still because still feeling sketch about this tribe.

Our search isnt doing too well. And nicole went missing and dont know she is. We have 28 items. Hopefully thats enough but i have a feeling in my stomach that it isnt and im scared. Dont want to go to tribal. Hope we win though. 🤞

if kirby does not tell me his great great great great grandmas waffle recipe hes done for. like why bring it up if ur not gonna share. ??? um we won immunity again and im so happy bc i dont want to go to tribal bc even tho there are MULTIPLE ppl i want out i dont want to risk it. stan list right now is dennis, naptime, matt, marie. everyone else? and matt and marie barely on there too... but um actually starting to like them and theyre more responsive now so love that! by the end of this game ill actually know things about alice in wonderland wooh!

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Okay so this sucks. We all really tried hard and we only lost by 2 points which is so frustrating. Not to mention that Nick and Charlie couldn't even find anything at all. And now we're in a really shitty spot because sending Nick home would be an easy out but he possibly has this legacy advantage thing which he can use tonight and if that means he's safe than idk what to do because I have a strong alliance with the other 4 people on my tribe. Which means now we have to come up with a plan to make sure Nick feels safe and he doesn't use his advantage but we still put the majority of votes on him. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Okay I'm laying it on thick with Nick. Really trying to play the middle and see where his head is at. I think honestly chances are Nick will make it through this round but I want to make sure after the vote he still trusts me but he does use his Legacy Advantage. Brian and I are walking a very thin line.

Yas. We won immunity again! 🦑 Still on of the 3 people not go to tribal yet which is pretty awesome. I’m now hoping that Charlie, Sharky, and Brian can find a way to survive again. Don’t want to lose any of them. Hopefully we merge soon. Its going to be down to 12 people after tomorrow’s tribal. Only ones to really talk to me on this tribe is Dennis, Bryce, Keaton and sometimes Matt. Havent talked to much to Marie. And Nicole ive tried but ignored. If anything it would be cool to blindside Nicole at first tribal in the merge.

I think im going to talk game to keaton today and see if we could work together. And im also going to see what Bryce thinks about us working together as well. Im just nervous if tonight we do merge at tribal, i dont want to be first boot. I want to make it far in this game.

I don't know if my last confessional went through, so I'll just send another one in hehe...

I do feel like Charlie is going home this round because of his idol play last round, but it could also be Nick going or him using his Legacy Advantage and all that being gone. I don't really know, but I want to make sure it ain't me and that's what's important.

As for other things... love Sharky, what a king. Love Nathan, another king... Annabelle's really cool, ya... I love Charlie but he's still probably gonna die... and ya kjHDA... that's all I have to say...

Scared for merge because L O fucking L... that's going to be a mess. It could be coming tonight, but I really do not know and I'm scared…

Keaton decides to call me inactive in the tribe chat but his Kirby ass can shut the hell up, he's just bitter I voted against him the first tribal and he's tryna put the target on my ass. Thank god we won the challenge because I don't know if I would've stayed. I have good relationships with Bryce Matt and Dennis but I don't know if that's enough to keep me.

So first off. Sorry for no video confessional. But not enough happened to bramble around and take 3 hours of my internet for uploading slow AF but here is a small summary of what happened to my game. Idolsearch: went to the tugley woods again. I guess you need a map to find your way through it, but what do i know D: Last tc: Charlie played his idol and mentioned publically that all of his old tribe knew about that idol anyways. What kind of made me a bit suspicious. Mainly because when he told me, he said that he really wants to work with me and thats why he is telling me this secret. I don't mind that the idol is gone, but if he told that everyone? mhm... I approached maynor to see if he knew and he said NO. so maybe I did a whoopsie? WHO KNOWS.

Eitherway. Anna announced a "live challenge" after this tribal (oh yeah we are safe again woo), but since we would be down to 12 I wouldn't be surprised if that "live challenge" is actually the merge announcement? If not. I think EVEN IF WE LOSE i should be in a decent position? Because Keaton couldn't keep his mouth shut and when it came to sitting someone out and called out Marie in the tribe chat. Bad move for him, good for me. Because even if we go to tribal unless someone really wants to target me for some reason it should be between those 2

youtube

Okay so we've come up with a slightly complicated plan. Looks like I'm going to lose Charlie this round which makes me kind of sad because I really get on well with him. But it's what i have to do to get further in the game. We're going to split the vote so The Dinah Dudes vote fro Nick. The OG Absolem people vote Charlie. Anna tells Nick he needs to use his Legacy Advantage so we get rid of that from the game. I just hope I come out of this without hurting Charlie or pissing off Nick.

AJ just used an emoji that CHANGED. MY. LIFE. It's like praying and trying to stay calm and then fire happens and it says BOI! And if that isn't a fucking mood idk what is!

Y'all I am so bad at this idol hunt. I keep choosing locations that don't even have choices. Yikes. Everybody else has advantages and shit and I'm just sitting in an empty meadow.

I’m sad we lost i actually tried for this because I didn’t want a complicated tribal but bleh Idk how this will work but I think it will work out for the best potentially if it goes the way I’m hoping. I loved this comp though the hosts did a great job with it. It was actually fun

youtube

With merge approaching I think that it’s important I remember I really don’t owe anything to the people on my tribe... they voted out Jayden and told me nothing and I think it’s time for some revenge.. all you people in the viewing lounge stay tuned... Ima show you why I’ve never not made a merge!

I’m not sure if it’s day 13, I’ve been safe every single round and I have absolutely no clue how I am doing that.....Dennis is my one and only ally. Hopefully it's merge time!

Honestly, I think I might be going home lol. Brian and Sharky are telling me Nick but no one else has messaged me. Severely regretting using my idol now lol.

Hope my bois have still got my back, even though I haven't been that helpful in challenges recently. I'm hoping it'll reduce my threat level for merge hehe

Ive been talking to Bryce and wants to work with me. This is great. So on this tribe i have Dennis and Bryce and perhaps even keaton. So just nervous for live challenge.

LAST MINUTE SCRAMBLING. Sounds like Nick is trying to flip the vote on Brian. he asked Nathan and Anna to flip off of Charlie. So Now Brian is worried (Which is totally fair) because he doesn't know if he can trust Anna. So even if Nathan/Brian/I stick to the plan, if she flips and Nick uses his advantage Brian goes home. So now he wants to flip his vote so worst case scenario it goes 2-2-2 and we can fix things on the revote. Ugh I hate scrambling. I prefer my tribals over easy.

Charlie is voted out 3-2.
