Chapter 6
Title: The Hidden Life
Author: mtranc3
Rating: R
Spoilers: All six books
Summary: Sirius, Lucius, and the secret between. Pairings: Lucius Malfoy/Sirius Black, James Potter/Sirius Black, James Potter/Lily Evans, Severus Snape/Sirius Black
Warnings: Slash, Unbeta'd
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.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling, no profit is being made. The title is borrowed from a Smiths song.
Don't worry about the James/Sirius focus in the latest chapters, this fic is most definitely Sirius/Lucius. It's not my fault that Sirius got around a lot in his time...

Chapter 6: This charming man
James looked up from his book 'Healing Herbology: The Herbs That Help' and surveyed the library. Sirius who was sitting opposite him, raised and eyebrow, but James ignored him, and turned back to his book. The four of them were in their usual spot in the library, catching up on their overbearing homework. But only Remus seemed do be doing any work, his head was bent down and he was writing something vigorously on a piece of parchment, with the occasional reference to one of the many books that were piled up in front of him. Sirius was gazing out of the window, tapping his fingers on his leg, and Peter was a step from falling asleep on his book.
James contemplated his best friends for a moment; a question that had been on the back of his head, surfacing again. He glanced at Peter once more; they were so different from eachother, yet they were friends. James believed that it was probably because Peter made him feel good about himself. The boy was so helpless, and the way he idolized James was well, kind of flattering.
As for Remus, it took James a longer time to warm up to him. Remus was quiet, studious, but not show-off-y about it. It was as if he wanted to disappear. But ever since they found out his 'secret' back on the first year, and his behaviour was explained, he instantly became one of them, and James came to appreciate his calm manner which made for really good conversations.
Hence, James decided that Remus brought out the 'thinker' in him, and Peter brought out the 'hero' in him, but the question that was bothering him was, what did Sirius bring out?
He gave Sirius' aristocratic profile a surreptitious look; He was letting his hair grow long again, and it had started curling towards the ends.
Sirius was a rebel at heart, but the strict manner in which his family raised him, left him with an other-worldly quality, that was hard to put a finger on. He was like a diamond in the rough, although James would never loudly admit to thinking that. In the end, he decided that Sirius probably brought out the real him, underneath all the layers that he put on when he around other people. When he was with Sirius he could say whatever came to his mind, without worrying about being a prat, and sometimes it was as if Sirius could even read his thoughts.
A few years from now, looking back to their time at Hogwarts, James would realize that Sirius was quite simply cool. The kind of cool teenage boys look up to, the kind you cannot fake, and that can put you in more trouble, than it can save you from. But right now, he was still chasing that elusive quality about Sirius.
Something had subtly shifted in their balance though, lately. James rarely consciously thought about what happened behind closed doors during detention, or when they took the invisibility cloak and raided the hallways late at night. It had started when Sirius moved in the Potter house at the end of the summer, and they had never talked about it; it was almost like a dream you forget when you wake up, but when you're seeing it, it's as vivid as reality.
James shook his head to clear it from the tangled thoughts, and noticed that Sirius was staring at him again, an unvoiced question in his eyes.
"You need a haircut" was all James said before stuffing books back to his bag. Remus raised an eyebrow, but didn't stop writing, and Peter was drooling on the table.
Sirius turned back to the window, but it had gotten dark outside, and what he was looking at, he was the only one who knew.
