Author's notes: One of my favourite pairings in HP fandom is Lucius/Sirius, one that is unfortunately not very popular, so at the lack of related fic I've decided to write Sirius/Lucius myself, to satiate my cravings. It's kind of experimental, because I've only written (and mostly read) Harry/Draco, and I don't really know how exactly it will proceed, but I thought I'd give this partially formed plot-bunny a chance.

Chapter 5: The best of enemies


15th October 1974


“Somebody's bound to notice, I mean you blew up yours almost as an afterthought...” Sirius bumped against his best friend's shoulder, sending them off course.

James laughed and pushed him back. They were walking down the dungeons corridor in a lazy manner, trying to postpone going to the detention they inevitably had to report for.

“Well you should have warned me! Mind you, Slughorn didn't seem too happy, having green muck all over his walls.”

“I was bored! Besides...” He gave James a look, and James suddenly got quiet.

“Still,” he said, recovering, “you should have aimed it on Snivellus, or something... you know, kill two jobberknolls with one stone.”

Sirius grinned, but his smile quickly fell, and his eyes darkened.

“Talking about slimy gits...”

James looked around; Severus Snape and his usual gang of Slytherins: Wilkes, Rosier, and Avery, were coming from the opposite direction. His hand flew to his wand instictively.

Snape gave them an unpleasant smile, as the other three spread out around them, forming a semi-circle.

“Going to detention Potter? Seems like your friend's idiocy is rubbing off on you...”

The Slytherins laughed, and James felt Sirius stiffen beside him.

“Watch your mouth Snivellus.”

Snape's lip curled up,

“Tell me Black, is it true that your own family kicked you out? Even they couldn't stand you?”

Sirius pulled his wand out, directing it at Snape's face. Four more wands were simultaneously drown out, James aiming it at the Slytherins; Avery, Wilkes, and Rosier pointing them at Sirius. But no one attempted to throw a hex yet.

“My brother the twat, told you that?”

Snape shook his head, black, greasy hair falling over his eyes.

“Rumours go around quickly in a place like this. So, how does it feel to be homeless?” He asked maliciously.

“Sirius has a home!” James said loudly, his wand hand trembling. He looked over at his friend, but Sirius' eyes never wavered from Snape's face;

He was calculating their chances, maybe he'd be able to throw in a good hex before the others stunned him to oblivion, and he knew James would give as good as he got.

"What's going on here?"

Six heads turned to the direction where the voice had come from. Remus Lupin was walking down the corridor, his prefect's badge shining in the lamplight.

"Put your wands down, all of you. No spells are allowed in the halls."

“Think you're so high and mighty now that you're a prefect Lupin? Avery called out, but slowly retracted his wand.

Upon seeing his friend, Sirius' face softened, and he smiled.

"Hiya Remus, what are you doing here?”

“Making sure you two are reporting for detention...”

James huffed in mock indignation. “As if we'd skip it! You know us Remus...”

Remus rolled his eyes but seemed to relax a bit at that.

“Now tell me what's going on here... should I be alerting a teacher perhaps?” he added airily, but James and Sirius knew he was putting on an act for the Slytherins.

Snape gave Remus an expression full of loathing.

“I should think that you knew your friends better to realize they were the ones that started it. But of course, a Gryffindor prefect will naturally support his own House.”

Remus pursed his lips, but before he could answer, Snape signaled the others, and they walked on apprehensively, their wands still out.

When they had left the corridor, Sirius grinned and patted Remus on the back.

“Lucky for us you're a prefect Moony, but do be careful; I thought you were channeling Filch for a moment there...”

Remus shot him an annoyed look.

"Remus, really, they started it. Snivellus called Sirius homeless..."

"the slimy git..." Sirius added, folding his arms.

Remus' expression then eased a bit. "Still, you were 2 against 4, how did you think it would have turned out?"

"Well, you didn't let us try, did you?"

"You should be thanking me. Now off to detention, Professor Slughorn said 8 o'clock exactly."

He rushed them down the corridor. James and Sirius groaned, but took off nevertheless.

Remus watched them go, a deep frown set between his eyebrows. He knew Snape was malevolent and nasty, but he was minding his own business most of the time. Sirius and James on the other hand would never miss an opportunity to pick for a fight.

The last thing he saw before his friends melded in the shadows was James hitting Sirius' shoulder and Sirius kicking James foot in return. A smile crept on Remus' lips in spite of himself.
