So, this is my first attempt in wolfstar and also my first attempt in english. Reviews will be highly appreciated :)

I almost forgot a disclaimer! So - everything's JK Rowlings, I just borrowed it when she wasn't looking.

1 - At Three Broomsticks

It was one of those parties James was regularly throwing at Three Broomsticks on weekend trips to Hogsmeade. His theory was that outside the school, Evans could finally agree to go on a date with him. Madam Rosmerta could never say no to his puppy eyes and she was big fan of James' crush too, so they always had the best tables for their small company and when there wasn't a lot of other customers, Rosmerta would sit with them and laugh on Lily's sarcastic remarks about James.

Sirius was looking at his glass of butterbeer, not paying attention to anyone. He was thinking about Remus - last few months, he's been thinking about Remus a lot. He didn't really know when he started having crush on him and he didn't know when this crush became something more either. But that didn't worry him as much as Moony avoiding him. He's been doing it for last two months at least - it was strange coincidence that Sirius made the decision to talk to him about his feelings two months ago. But he couldn't know, could he? No, that wasn't possible.

Sirius finished his butterbeer and took a look around. James was at another end of the table trying to impress Evans as usual. He wanted Sirius to be his wingman like always but Sirius declined so Peter was doing the job. He was even better at it than Sirius - maybe it was because he actually seemed interested in that dreadful friend of Evans. But Peter was interested in any female that came into his sight.

And Remus… Remus was talking to some gorgeous Ravenclaw girl who was trying hard to flirt with him, but Remus was always oblivious to this sort of things. However, he had cute expression of interest on his face as she was telling him something while touching his hand. His thin hand with long pale fingers that were warmer than they seemed. Sirius has been having quite inappropriate thoughts about Remus' hands lately. He shook his head and ordered glass of firewhisky, deciding to get drunk and then go back to the castle, sleep for no less than twelve hours and wake up not having any confusing feelings for any of his friends. That's it.

While working on first part of his plan - getting drunk on firewhisky - he noticed Rosmerta looking at him with pensive expression. Having nothing better to do, he stood up, took his glass and without looking at Remus and his blond companion again, he headed to the bar.

"What's going on behind that pretty face of yours, eh?" said Rosmerta as soon as Sirius sat on a stool. "You almost didn't smile today and you're not helping James to get the love of his life finally like him. And on top of all - no pranks today? Did you have an argument or something?"

"Not at all," smiled Sirius. "I'm just not in the mood for pranks. And I think James is better off without me when it comes to Evans."

"Yeah, it seems so," Rosmerta agreed as she watched Lily jokingly ruffling James' hair. "It must be all new for James. I only saw her touching him when she slapped him on his face."

"Oh, I'm sure when we come here next time, you will hear all about this famous evening. More times than you'd like, actually." Sirius finished his glass and handed it to Rosmerta to fill it again.

"You know I'm not allowed to serve that to you, don't you." said Rosmerta casually.

"I know but I also know you would never say no to someone trying to drown his sorrows. And you love me," said Sirius with crooked smile.

"Oh, you know me too well." Rosmerta laughed, poured firewhisky to glass and handed it back to Sirius. She waited until he took a sip. "So. These sorrows of yours. you mean anything in particular?" she asked then.

"Nah, just usual teenage problems, you know. Excuse me." Sirius stood up and left in the direction of restrooms. When he came back he noticed another glass near his one and a young man sitting on the next stool looking at him with smile on his lips.

"Hey there," the guy said when Sirius climbed up on his stool. "My friends left earlier than I would have liked, so I was thinking I could find someone to drink with and you seem you're here on your own. I am Michael, by the way." He offered Sirius hand.

"Hey, I'm Sirius, but…" He meant to tell this guy he was not alone, but then he looked at his friends. James was still sitting next to Evans shining like a star, and Remus… Well, Remus just burst out laughing at something Miss Blond said. Screw them. He looked again at Michael, who was waiting for the end of the sentence.

"...but I'm under age, you know, so maybe you shouldn't drink with me. Enough that Rosmerta may get in trouble."

"Don't worry about me, I know right people to not have these kind of problems." Rosmerta winked at him and left to wait on tables.

"And I personally," said Michael in lazy voice, "don't mind getting in some trouble. In fact, I think that troubles are exciting."

"Well then," Sirius smiled and raised his glass. Maybe it would be nice, having someone who isn't all "No, Sirius, you shouldn't do that" and "That's not funny, the consequences could be really bad" or "Do you think Evans will like it?" about his ideas.

Some time later he was more than just little drunk, but definitely in better mood. Michael proved himself to be amusing drinking buddy and Sirius almost forgot about Remus having way too much fun with that Ravenclaw. He found himself feeling more comfortable than he felt in ages. So when Michael suggested moving to Hog's Head, he agreed without really thinking about it.

They were almost at the door when a hand landed on Sirius' shoulder. A thin hand with long pale fingers. Sirius looked up to Remus' face, his sight blurry from the firewhisky.

"Padfoot, where are you going?" his friend asked.

"We're moving to Hog's Head, me and Michael here." Sirius noticed that Michael didn't smile at Remus. In fact, he was looking at him with displeasure in his eyes. It seemed everyone was able to recognize a prefect in Remus.

"You can't go to Hog's Head on your own." Moony's voice was full of concern.

"I'm not on my own, I'm with Michael. It's not a big deal. Go back to your beauty queen," said Sirius sharply and tried to shake his friend's hand off.

"You'll get yourself in trouble, mate. you're already drunk and won't be able to come back in time. Come on, we can be here some time more and then we'll go back to castle together." Remus tried to direct Sirius to the table where the blond Ravenclaw was pouting, obviously annoyed at how the evening was developing. For a second, Sirius was tempted to stay just to annoy her more. But witnessing her flirting with his crush didn't seem as a healthy thing to do.

"I don't want to disturb you lovebirds. And I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself, you know. Don't worry."

"No, Padfoot…"

"Hey, he's already told you he doesn't want to stay here with you. He wants to have fun, you know what fun is?" Michael intervened impatiently.

"I know what isn't fun. Getting expelled, for example," Remus looked at the other boy grimly. He still had his hand on Sirius's shoulder and was trying to divert him.

"Didn't you hear?" asked Michael coldly, clearly preparing for fight.

"I think that you're the one who needs having his ears checked," answered Remus in similar voice and finally let go of Sirius.

Michael was already lifting his fist, but out of nowhere, a push came that made him take few steps back.

"Don't you dare speak like this to my friend," Sirius warned him, all of sudden holding his wand and pointing it at Michael's chest. He was breathing heavily, his eyes glittering with anger. "He's mine. If you try hitting him I will hex the hell out of you. Understand?"

"What's wrong with you?!" Michael shrugged. He was clearly confused. "Man, I don't get you! First you're all for leaving this inn and then you threaten me just because I tried to solve problems with this guy for you. You should get checked at Mungo's." He shrugged once more and left, not wanting to see any Hogwarts students for few weeks at least.

"Cavalier as always, aren't we?" murmured Remus.

"You know me, I always come to help when there's damsel in distress," grinned Sirius and hid his wand.

"Especially when you yourself are the main cause of the distress, I dare say. Well, my white knight, I think you really are quite drunk. Let's get you to bed," said Remus and turned over to go to James and inform him of current situation.
