Once in a Blue Moon
A/N - Yes I know this first part is very short. However this is just the prologue and the actual chapters will be longer. Also the chapters themselves will be from the points of view of Remus and Sirius. Only the prologue isn't.
The warnings are posted in relation to the whole story, so don't expect anything of an adult nature right away. This story is going to be long and the relationship is going to be a gradual process over a number of years. If you are here just for the smut, sorry it will be a long wait for anything even remotely graphic - put another way, there are ten chapters of this story already written in full and neither of the two boys have even thought about kissing yet.
Big thank you to my new beta LostAndAwaiting from the regular fanfiction dot net where this story is also posted (albeit in an edited form to comply with their rules).
I don't beg for reviews for feedback (although it is much loved of course). But if you see errors (typographical, continuity or whatever) feel free to let me know. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Once in a Blue Moon
---------------------------------------
Prologue
“You’re not taking him,” the wizard ordered, his wand raised towards his eldest son, who could see that he had every intention of using it.
“You’re condemning him to death,” the younger man replied with equal venom.
“He’s not our son any more,” the witch sobbed. “It’s for the best.”
“He’s six years old,” the young man yelled. “I won’t let you do this!”
“The Ministry officials are on their way. It’s too late.”
“He’s your son!”
“Not any more. Now he’s a monster.”
“For one night of the month, the rest of the time he’ll be a scared little boy.” Romulus Lupin pushed his parents aside and ran up the stairs to his younger brother’s room.
“Remus?” he called as he pushed open the door.
“Rom?” a small voice called out from beneath the bed and Romulus cursed his parents for the fear he heard in his younger brother’s voice.
“I’m here Remus,” he said softly. He held out his arms and his younger brother threw himself into them. The boy was thinner than he remembered and there was blood on his robes. That Romulus didn’t know whether they were injuries from his brother’s first transformation or inflicted by his parents only made him that much more furious.
“I’m scared Rom,” Remus whimpered.
“It’s all right now,” Romulus assured him. “I’m here now. You’re going to come and live with me now.”
“Mum and dad too?”
“No Remus, just us two.” Romulus swore silently to himself as he felt Remus relax at the news that he was being taken away from his parents’ care.
“You’re not taking him.” Romulus turned to face his father who was now blocking the doorway, his wand raised ready to fight. “You’re still underage.”
“And that he’ll be better off with me, an underage wizard, than his own parents is hardly something to brag about!”
“You’ll be hunted down all your life if you take him now.”
“I’m not going to let you turn my brother over to the monsters that work for the Ministry. And if that means I spend my life on the run, then so be it.”
“He’s the monster!” the elder Lupin snapped before spitting on his younger son.
Romulus pulled out his wand and sent a disarming spell at his father. He vaguely noted the sound of Remus crying but he didn’t have time to comfort him. He pulled the young boy into his arms and ran for the door. There was no time to pack and no time for explanations. They were on their own.
--------------------------------------------------------
“Is that our new home?” Remus asked as he and Romulus walked the short distance from the village of Hogsmeade to the rundown and dilapidated house that stood on the hillside.
“It’s not much to look at,” Romulus admitted.
“They won’t find us will they?” Remus asked quietly.
“Not while I’ve breath in my body,” Romulus promised. Remus nodded seriously in response and they continued on their way.
With little money and no chance of a legitimate, well paid job, Romulus knew that this shack of a house was the best they could hope for. He prayed that they could remain hidden from the Ministry of Magic officials who even now were searching for both himself and the young werewolf who was in his care. Realistically he knew it was only a matter of time before the long arm of the law caught up with them.
