Summary: Tris shows up to take Moony through the motions
Status: Dropped

Tristan had been ... surprised at the request. He wondered how hard the healer had fought against him being invited to the castle for an extra moon, and he grinned slightly. He was never sure if it was better or not that she was just afraid of him, and it wasn't that she hated him or his kind.

Landon had been understandably disappointed; he'd been looking forward to watching Tris run through the woods behind Isaac's place. But he understood, too. And he was jealous as hell, but goodnaturedly so. He'd be meeting the infamous Marauders in a few days. Maybe even tutoring or something, if they went that route.

Tristan arrived at Hogwarts just after his own dinner and a peek in the Great Hall showed he was just in time for the end of their dinner. Brilliant timing then. He tried to shove his hands into his pockets only to recall he was wearing pocketless sweats (because they were easier for on and off before and after his shifts). So he settled for letting his hands dangle at his sides.

Blue eyes swept over the lot of them, and he nodded. No one had ever mentioned the three of them were so hot. He tried to guess which was which, and process of elimination was quick enough to label them. James had the glasses, Sirius had the dark hair, and that meant Remus ... was the other one.

Plunking himself down beside the other wolf, he grinned. "Fancy a shag then?"

Oh yes. Tristan certainly had to make an impression, didn't he? The fact that he'd happily have a go at any of the three of them didn't hurt matters any, either. Though he reasoned at least two of them were straight what with the fathering children and all that ... unless they had had wild bisexual sides in school that they'd just repressed. Yes, he'd think along those lines. Because that was more fun.

Sirius covered his mouth and gasped in as girly a way as he could manage before his ego and self respect started whimpering from the corner he had banished them to until he had need for them.

"Really?" Sirius asked, looking to James in mock horror. "That's it, then. Before it was all a joke, but now Remmy really is off and eloping. Don't quite know what to say."

Which was a lie. It always was. Remus and James would know that -- Sirius always had a smart comment to make when he was in a good mood. He'd been off his game since landing himself in the Ministry, but reuniting with two of his best mates had boosted his spirits considerably.

Sirius propped both elbows on the table and rested his chin in his hands.

And smiled as innocently as he could manage at Remus.

"Except... can I be your maid of honor at the wedding?"

He would give Remus a break. One day. Not today.

Sirius quirked an eyebrow at Tris. "You're going to adopt me and Prongs here, yeah? Remus is our parental voice of reason. 'specially since he's got a year up on us now."

Remus was too fascinated by the description of being a werewolf using the potion to be distracted by James and Sirius... though he did toss another pea at Sirius. Tristan's description sounded a lot better than what he usually went through.

"No," he said with a shake of his head and a small grin at the nudge. "I've never really remembered too much of the night. Just vague impressions and feelings really." He grimaced. "Sometimes I remember more but it's never really clear."

He stared at Tristan for a moment after his little revelation then he blushed and looked away, reaching for his pumpkin juice almost reflexively. "Uh, it... uh, doesn't bother me." He blushed a bit more when he realised how that could sound - and even more so because he was fairly certain he wouldn't mind Tristan hitting on him or getting a bit handsy - and he hoped that Sirius and James were going to continue with their teasing. When they were teasing, he knew they were okay with everything. It was when they got serious that he knew there was trouble.

He pulled himself together and rolled his eyes. "Well, someone has to be the voice of reason around here," he said with a rueful grin. "If for no other reason than so we can at least say that we were aware of the consequences when we get in trouble. That always goes down well for some reason."

James snorted. "We'll have to go dress shopping for you, Pads. I don't think anything you've got now would be suitable for a wolf wedding," he paused, thoughtfully. "Would we have to hold it on the night of the full or something?"

Though he had to wonder with the way Remus was reacting to it how much of it was a joke, and how much of it was everyone taking seriously. He shrugged though, it wasn't like it made that much of a difference now. Maybe he'd chat with Pads about it later, if he remembered.

He did listen with curiosity to the wolf stuff. It sounded great, in theory, but he didn't really want to get his hopes up until he actually saw it in action. There'd been moments during the fulls where they'd thought they'd gotten through to Remus, after all, but it was never the case. He'd stopped hoping after a while.

"I dunno about adopting us, mate. Moony here's been eased into it. We weren't nearly so bad when we were younger," he crossed his arms, and made like he was sizing Tristan up. "Bloke's a bit young and he hasn't even died yet. Don't know that he's up for the challenge."

"I've got a nice lilac number that could work for you," he offered to Sirius with a grin. "Should fit just fine, and it'll bring out your eyes. And I'd be honored to adopt the pair of you, but shouldn't we wait until I officially propose? I mean, I haven't even snogged him yet and you two are marrying us off already." He winked playfully to Remus before he regarded the other two.

"I may be young, but I've got experience," he assured James with a waggle of his brows. "Plus, I've been dealing with Potters and Weasleys since my first year here. Think I've got you lot sorted out."

He smiled to Remus. "Lan's my voice of reason. Imagine you'll get to be good mates with him while the two of you caution us hellions and roll your eyes when we get caught wreaking whatever havoc we've invented."

Tilting his head curiously, he nodded to Remus. "Do you think you'll be taking lessons in the potion? I meet with Professor Stirling once a week for extra lessons in that potion. I'm probably still a few years off, because it's bloody difficult to make, but ... someday I'll be able to make my own." He paused. "Though I suppose if we're to be married, I could just make it for the both of us, yeah?"

Sirius decided to grace the peas that had been flicked at him with his attention at last. He carefully retrieved them all and loaded them in a spoon, setting it up as a catapult aimed at Remus' nose.

He didn't fire yet. He would wait.

It was always best to nail someone in the eye when they weren't expecting it.

"Your spawn is trouble," Sirius shared quietly with James. "We're going to have to get around this Lan fellow and show them all how the pros wreak havoc and amass mayhem."

"Sirius would look awful in lilac," Remus said absently, frowning down at his dinner then deciding that he wasn't in the mood to eat anymore. He could feel the sunset approaching and it was making his skin crawl. He wondered if the Wolfsbane would make the full moon's any more tolerable. Maybe one day he might not view them with dread and hate.

He pushed his plate away along with those thoughts and looked over at Tristan. "I'd like to take the lessons but I'm not great at Potions. If Professor Stirling is patient then I wouldn't mind trying." He chuckled at the married comment and wished he could be as relaxed as Tristan obviously was. How did he not feel the full moon?

"I think this year is going to be very, very interesting," he said dryly. "Between us and the Potters and Weasleys, the teachers are going to be having very full detentions."

"I gotta agree mate, I don't think I approve of this spawn going around and getting the credit for the efforts I put in," he nudged Sirius with his arm. "I mean we put some solid planning hours into our pranks, and just 'cause they get my namesake, they get to come in here and claim some sort of rights?"

He held up his hands defensively. "Weasleys, I'll give. They've done their share. I've been to the joke shop - bloody fantastic - but the others?" he grinned at Tristan. "Trust me. Anything they can come up with is child's play."

While he nodded and pretended to be interested, he wasn't really paying attention to the talk of extra potions lessons (really? Someone would inflict more potions on themselves? The Slimy Git liked potions). But he got that it was important to Remus, so he just stayed quiet since he didn't have anything clever to add.

"Detention rooms are only full if students are foolish enough to get caught," he reminded Remus with a smirk.

"Well, they know who to look out for in my case," Tris offered to James with a little shrug and a grin. "Imagine they'll know the stories about you lot and keep an eye on you, too. If you're going to get caught though? Try to make sure it's Professor Silver. She's got a prankster's genes and she'll go a little easier on you. I heard she goes to magic shows just to screw with the Muggle magicians."

It occurred to Tristan then just what sort of gap there was in their time and this time. The professors he had now likely weren't even born when this lot was in school.

That was freakish.

Shaking it off, he thumped Remus lightly on the shoulder. "Ready?" He could feel the moon and knew it would be time, soon. "I usually shift out behind Hagrid's hut. It's a bitch in the winter," he added with a wink before he slid off the bench to stand. "From there I usually prowl through the forest. I have a few favorite paths to run ... guess I could show you lot."
