Remus was so engrossed in his thoughts, that he hadn't realised that his words had offended Sirius. He snapped out of his revelry and saw the look on Sirius's face. He gulped and tried to make amends. "I didn't mean that you're not a good wizard. I mean, you did all this research and you, if anyone will be the first to crack it." He smiled reassuringly at him.
"Please Sirius, I'd like you to try. It will be nice not to have to go through my furry times alone." He hoped that he had not offended him so much, that he would no longer be his friend. Remus cherished his friendships with Sirius, James and now Peter, no matter how annoying he could be.

Sirius grinned, it was slip of the tongue, and like Remus said, obviously once Sirius put his mind to something and decided he wanted to do it, it showed that he was actually capable of picking up a book and getting the work done.
Apart from the fact that helping Remus would make him feel better about the fact that one of his best friends had to turn into a werewolf every month, being an animagus would be seriously cool.
"I'm glad you think so." he laughed his bark like laugh and reached across to take the book back from Remus. "All we have to do is get trying. I'd say we could ask for some help, but I'm not sure what we're doing is actually legal. So it might be best to just do it ourselves, and I think we need to do some more reading before we try anything, I mean my parents only had one book on it, so it'll probably be in the restricted section." he sighed, that would be a problem.

Remus heaved a sigh of relief, as Sirius grinned back at him and laughed. He allowed the book to be taken and he folded his arms across his chest and Sirius voiced his ideas and concerns. Remus looked thoughtful as he pondered on their options.
"You know we could forge someone's signature to get a book from the restricted section... We just need to see what book will help us the most." Frowns a little. "I can troll through the books we have access to, they might help point us in the right direction."

"Sounds like a plan to me." said Sirius as he flicked back t the chapter he had been reading last night. Visualisations and Mental Excercises which was what you did after you found your 'animal wthin'. It turned out that just about anyone could become an animagus, but it was extremely difficult and dangerous which was why almost no one attempted the transformation.
Difficult and dangerous however were two of Sirius' favourite words.
"I'm going to try out for the Quidditch team again this year." he said absent mindedly over the top of the book, glancing up at Remus as he did so.

Remus was still tyring to figure out a course of action, as Sirius read the book. He looked at him however, when he spoke about the try outs. "You are?" He knew that he'd been disappointed the last time he'd tried out for the Quidditch team and he hoped that Sirius would be more successful this term. "So are you trying out for one of the beater positions again?"
Remus had never contemplated trying out for the Quidditch team, he didn't always feel at his best, so he was just happy to watch the games and support Gryffindor

"What else would I try out for? I'm no good as a seeker, I'm too well built for that. I don't want to steal James' thunder by being a Chaser, and we have a really good fifth year keeper. Whereas one of the beaters left a the end of last year." he said all this very fast, and knew Remus was hoping they wouldn't have to deal with depressed Sirius for a few weeks after try outs again this year. Even if he onl made the reserve team this year, Sirius would be happy, he was determined.
"I'm going to have to get a new Beater's bat though.Mum obliterated my last one. She confiscated it about a week after I got home, then when i tried to steal it back she reduced it to splinters at dinner that night. Evil old Hag." he spat the last few words out with a bitter tone, and his eyes darkened in anger. "I bought that myself too, my own money, and she obliterates it over the stuffed partridge at dinner."

Remus listened and nodded as Sirius spoke. He to hoped that his friend made the team this year. "Well mate, you're good enough in my opinion, it's just unfortunate that it's not me making the decision." He smiled and playfully nudged him.
Remus frowned at the next bit of new and shook his head. "Oh mate, that really sucks. I guess that means that you will have to use one of the school bats then." He tried to hide his smile, as he heard that the bat had been obliterated over the stuffed partridge.

"Yay, a rubbish, centuries old school bat, that could explode in my face the next time I hit a bludger. I can't wait." Sirius slumped a little in his seat at the thought of using such a rubbish bat. I'll just have to make sure I get there first he thought to himself them smiled. Late night excursion after the feast? I think so.
"And dont you laugh about the stuffed partridge, my dad was really upset that he had to keep picking splinters out of it. Personally I wish he'd choked on one, then I wouldn't have ended up grounded all summer."

Remus pats Sirius's shoulder comfortingly. "I'm sure we can come up with something Sirius." He openly sniggered as Sirius talked about what had happened over dinner. "You know you could have just hidden your bat, and not let your mum find it in the first place."
He smiled at sirius. You know if I could get you a bat I would. Maybe McGonagal will help you out?"

"I did hide it, but you know my mum, I have to seal my door shut when I leave for the Holiday to try and stop her from searching my room as soon as the train has gone, and now there's no Regulus at home to tell me when she has. She's actually insane I swear. You know she nearly disowned me for being put into Gryffindor." He sighed and smiled across at Remus. "You know I've given up hiding the muggle motorbike magazines I've been getting. I decided to repaper my walls with them using a permanent sticking charm. She went mental, it was almost worth being grounded."
He laughed at Remus' suggestion. "I know you would, but why would McGonagall help me, I'm a trouble maker, she hates me, but is also secretly my biggest fan, she wouldn't want to tell the world about us by buying me a bat." he grinned wryly across at Remus and shut his book. Ahh his affair with his darling Minerva, his favourite subject, it was completely in his head and he knew this, but it was still fun to joke about. He was seriously considering sending her a Valentine one year.

"Blimey your mum's obsessive." He grinned"You would think that she suspected you of something." His smile faded, as Sirius forced him to recall how bad it had been for him, when his mum almost disowned him. "Yeah i remember mate. I know I was making light of things before, you do have it rough at home." He smirked a little as he heard about the motor cycle magazines saga. "I'm surprised she actually let you out of the house, to attend school Sirius."
Remus looked at Sirius as he waxed lyrical about McGonagal. "Well my hopelessly romantic pal. She happens to love Quidditch more then you I think, and she would like the team to have the advantage of a phenomenal beater, who has a decent bat." He continued. "She also quite likes me, so, if I ask her to get you one, for the benefit of the team, she might go for it. Or at least send for one, if you give her the money." He laughed shaking his head at the Valentine idea. "You seriously need help mate."

"You think I don't know that she's obsessive, I only get away with having my hair how I want it because I'm only at home for two months of the year. It's times like this I'm jealous of James, his parents are awesome. As is your mum, who I've only met once." he lounged back swinging his feet onto the seat next to him his finger still stuck between the pages of his closed book.
"This is true, I've been saving up money to buy myself a place as soon as I'm of age, I could take some money out of that, it's no where near enough t buy myself a house yet, and unless a relative dies and leaves me a lot of money it's not going to be unless I get a job, and let's face it, none of my family is ever likely to leave me any money. I'll talk to her about it after our first transfiguration lesson, lets home she still loves me, despite our time apart." he sighed dramatically and put the back of his hand to his forehead in a mock swoon, before laughing at himself.

Remus smiles and nods as he listens to Sirius. "You know, you could have a really snazzy basin cut Sirius, and become a real babe magnet...If you just let your mum at your hair." He laughs, and holds onto his stomach, as he giggled.
Once he'd recovered and caught his breath, Remus nodded in agreement at Sirius's observations about His and James's parents. "Yeah, James's parents are cool, they are the only people I know, who just accept me without question. It's not often that happens." He to put his feet up on the seat. "I wonder where James is?" He said distractedly. "I bet he's trying to get Lily to like him again."
He nodded at Sirius's future plans and shrugged. "Well if you do get on the team, you will need a decent bat, before you need a place to live. Anyway, James wouldn't see you homeless, should the worst happen."

"I'll give you a basin cut if you're not careful." said Sirius with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he slowly drew his wand and twirled it menacingly between his fingers.
"Hey we accepted you without question, once you finally admitted what was going on, what did you think we'd do, abandon you for something that isn't your fault?" Sirius laughed. "He probably is you know, it's unhealthy for him to be so obsessed, however it does leave more girls for me. Peter hasn't turned up yet either, what's the betting he tripped over into a Slytherin 6th year and is currently getting beaten up? I'd go and find him, but I'm just too comfy."
"This is very true, and James' parents keep telling me to just go to theirs for the summer, I might actually take them up on this year. Or at least get James to look after my bat for the summer."

Remus pretends to cringe and puts his hands up defensively. "Oooh no I'm sorry!"I take it back. Don't curse me!" He giggled warily, he wouldn't actually put it past Sirius to give him a bad hair day.
He sighed and nodded his head slowly."I know you did Sirius, and it was more then I expected. But when your parents just accept you...That's a big thing." he actually meant James' parents, as Sirius's mum and dad were not accepting of anyone or anything that didn't fit into their ideal. He chuckled at the thought of there being more girls for them, if James kept his focus on Lily. He looked a little concerned about Peter though. "Maybe i should go and see if the little butter ball is OK?"
