Okay folks, it's been awhile since I've posted anything and as much as I'd like conculde this story I think I will only do so if I get enough people wanting to read the rest of it.

Disclaimer: I do not own the pups or any other recognisable character. You should know that She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named owns them. You know of whom I speak.

A/N: I've given Remus's dad the name of Julius because well he needed a name and I like Julius. Oh, I don't know what possesed me to write this, I might just be the first to come up with this bizarre unlikely idea, who knows but please don't yell at me. I know I'm a sick puppy.

Summary: For right now, Remus tells his dad that he's gay, Mr. Lupin is all right with it but does not approve of Sirius because he has some grudge against the Blacks. Sirius catches his father reading something naughty and uses it as blackmail. If you get where I'm going with this, I'm sorry if it disturbs youm it disturbs me too.

Reveiws: Only if you have something nice to say, want me to keep going or have any ideas.

Without further ado, here we go...

September 1st 1976, before leaving for King's Cross

Remus closed his eyes and waited for the blow to fall, he had just dropped the G-bomb on his dad. In other words he just said "Dad, I-I'm gay."

It seemed like an eternity before his father spoke "Open your eyes Remus."

Remus opened them and gulped.

Julius got the message "Don't be afraid of me, son. I'm not angry."

"You-you're not?"

"No. It's just a lot to take in. Are you certain?"

Remus nodded "Very."

Julius flopped down on the sofa simultaneously placing his legs on the coffee table "Have a seat, son" when Remus was seated (in the chair opposite the sofa) Julius flicked his wand "Accio firewhiskey." Once the bottle was in his hand he said "Anyone you fancy in particular?"

Remus nodded again, pulse beginning to race at the thought of his Sirius.

"Does he reciprocate?"

Remus smiled, his cheeks starting to burn despite himself "Yes, he does."

Julius took a sip of the whiskey and swished it around his mouth before swallowing; he looked thoughtful "Is he good to you?"

"Oh, yes, very." Remus was beginning to wonder if this conversation would turn into twenty questions.

Julius seemed to be staring at something beyond Remus and for a moment Remus could have sworn his father's eyes were shining a bit too brightly but then he blinked and his eyes were normal "May I ask, which of you is the proverbial trouser wearer?"

Remus blushed some more "I rather like to think we have an equal partnership but he does do whatever I tell him…mostly."

"Mostly?"

"Yeah, he has trouble keeping still and he sometimes causes trouble."

"Ah. One of your tricksy friends then? Who is it?"

Finally, this was the part Remus was most afraid of-his dad had some sort of grudge against the Blacks and wasn't exactly thrilled when he learned Remus was friends with Sirius.

"Blacks are a bunch of evil, vile inbred sadistic maniacs. They mean only trouble and it's best to stay away from them." Julius had said, well shouted actually. Remus had jumped to Sirius's defence saying that he was nothing like his family but Julius would have none of it. Remus mother had been very ill and begged her husband to let Remus choose his own friends. She passed away a week later (muggle cancer of all things) and Julius never criticised Remus's friends again.

Now here it was four years later and Remus was going to tell his father that his boyfriend was none other than Sirius Black. He took a deep breath

"Sirius Black"

But Julius didn't shout this time; he looked almost as if he expected the answer. He set the bottle of whiskey down, after taking another swig "Remus," he voice was tired "I have no problem with you being gay but please think about what you're doing. Blacks are…"

"I know what you think Blacks are" Remus interrupted "but Sirius is different, he's not like his family. He hates them and he loves me."

"It only seems that way; he'll change especially if he's anything like his…never mind. Blacks can't be trusted."

It took a second for that statement to sound odd to Remus "Like his what? What are you talking about?"

Julius stood "Nothing it's nothing. Get your stuff, it's time to go. You don't want to miss the train."

Remus stood up too, deciding to forget his father's unusual behaviour for the moment "Dad, I love Sirius and he loves me and there's nothing you can do about it."

"We'll Apparate, it's faster. Get your trunk."

Sirius Black and his younger brother had just arrived at Platform 9 ¾ accompanied oddly enough this time by their father. Sirius kept his expression neutral as he knew exactly why his father had decided to take his sons to the train station today. Orion clamped Regulas's shoulder "Regulas, go on ahead to the train I need to have a discussion with your brother."

Like the perfect son he was Regulas nodded and headed towards the train, once he was well out of earshot, Orion pulled Sirius to the side and whispered with a touch of panic "What are your terms?"

Sirius smiled wickedly, normally a father wouldn't be asking this to his son but Sirius had recently acquired some delectable blackmail material.

It was the night before, Sirius had been sent to fetch Orion for supper because that dratted house elf was otherwise occupied. When Sirius entered his father's office, Orion was in his desk chair, back to the door and he seemed to be rather absorbed in something. Curious Sirius crept closer even though he knew he'd be in serious trouble (no pun intended) if he were caught spying on his parents. At first Sirius was shocked to see what his father was looking at but then he thought he'd have some fun.

"Father" he said "why are you looking at a muggle magazine with naked blokes in it?"

After a few threats from both father and son, eventually Orion must have realised that he couldn't win because even if no one believed Sirius (and everyone who wasn't a Black would) his reputation would be ruined. "Fine" he hissed "you may tell me your terms tomorrow."

"All right, firstly I want you to never say bad things about my friends again, secondly if Mother should ever find out that I have similar tastes as you…"

"What!"

Sirius for the moment ignored the fact that from his father's tone voice his exclamation sounded more like he was afraid of his wife finding out than his firstborn being gay "…you will not agree with her when she starts yelling, in fact you will come to my defence and point out that you still have Regulas to carry on the line."

After several seconds of silence Orion said "Very well" Orion saw something behind Sirius, his eyes narrowed and then he looked back at his son "It's that Lupin boy isn't it?"

Sirius was taken aback "What gives you that idea?"

Orion grabbed Sirius's arm "You listen to me, Lupins are poor pathetic cowardly…" but he never finished because an even louder voice right behind Sirius said

"Blacks are evil, vile, inbred sadistic maniacs."

Sirius turned; it was Mr. Lupin with a very angry looking Remus at his side.

Sirius and Remus looked at each other, Remus's expression softening as he saw Sirius and then they looked at their fathers who were now glaring daggers at one another.

"Black" Julius spat out the word as if it were poison.

"Lupin" the hatred in Orion's voice didn't sound as strong; in fact if Remus didn't know better he could have sworn he heard a tinge of regret.

"All right" said Sirius "what's going on here?"

"None of your business" both Julius and Orion said as one.

Julius then tore his eyes off of Orion and said to Remus "Best get on the train now, son. I'll see at Christmas."

Remus nodded "Yeah, see you."

Sirius shrugged, said to Orion "Remember our bargain and not insulting my friends includes not killing their parents." He then joined Remus.

Once they were out of the hearing range of their fathers Sirius said "Wonder what that was about?"

"You know, I think I'm afraid to find out." Remus glanced back; the older Black and Lupin had gone back to staring down each other as if they were both hippogriffs.

As I said, if you want more just say so. No flames or I'll let Sirius use them to set the dungeons on fire. Anywho, oh I've made a track list of songs that I think would be good for Sirius and Remus, I'll post them with the next chapter, if people want a next chapter that is. Ta, Lady A
