Disclaimer: I don't own anything…duh.

Warning: Slash pairing of Remus and Sirius – if you don't like it, don't read it. Flames will be ignored. It probably won't be very graphic and if I change my mind I will up the rating and put a warning at the start of the chapter where I make the decision.

Author Notes: This story is the sequel to Double Trouble and Catch a Quaffle. You don't really need to have read Catch a Quaffle at all but reading Double Trouble is recommended. If you don't want to read either of those, or need a recap, here they are.

Double Trouble – A spell had unexpected results and brought four more marauders from a parallel world into the one in which the story is set.

The other James – Sweet (sickeningly so), dating Lily and best mates with Severus Snape (who was in Ravenclaw rather than Slytherin).

The other Peter – Popular playboy, star of the Quidditch team and the only one who couldn't easily pass for his double as he was in better shape.

The other Sirius – hard working and studious (an exaggeration of Remus but without Remus's sense of fun). Also gay.

The other Remus – not a werewolf, the living embodiment of all the worst qualities of Sirius and James (reckless, arrogant and cruel etc) but without their loyalty and understanding.

The marauders found that the duplicates were fun to have around at first, but later discovered that they were not all they were cracked up to be. They were sent back by Dumbledore shortly after they discovered that Remus was a werewolf. None of the duplicates were animagi (and they didn't learn that the regular ones were) and they didn't take the news of Remus's lycanthropy well at all.

The lasting results of the duplicates' visits were that Remus rediscovered his place within the marauders, he'd been feeling somewhat insecure, and that Remus and Sirius became a couple.

Catch a Quaffle – Merely the story of Remus and Sirius going public with their relationship.

Triple Trouble

"Moony?" Sirius whined as he approached Remus and Peter in the Gryffindor common room.

"No," Remus replied without looking up from the board game.

"You don't know what I'm going to ask yet," Sirius pointed out.

"Yes I do, and the answer's no."

"Don't you want me any more?" Sirius pouted and he gave an exaggerated sob.

"Nope, the novelty has worn off," Remus teased. "But that isn't what you wanted to ask, is it?"

"What makes you think that I didn't want to ask you up to the dorm so that I can make mad passionate love to you?"

Peter looked at Remus with a raise of his eyebrow and a smirk as he picked up a card from the centre of the board. "Go to Azkaban, go directly to Azkaban, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred galleons."

"Hard luck," Remus commiserated as Peter's cauldron piece was suddenly surrounded by mini-dementors who escorted it to the jail square. He then turned to Sirius and smiled. "You don't want me to go up to the dorm with you unless it's to provide you with the map, and you know it."

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do. You're in mischief mode, I can recognise it a mile away."

"But I want to go into Hogsmeade," Sirius whined. "James has gone under his invisibility cloak and I'll get caught without the map."

"James has gone into Hogsmeade?" Peter asked as Remus took his turn and announced that he was purchasing Hogsmeade Station.

"He's spying on Lily because she's on a date with whatshisface from Hufflepuff."

"Sabotaging the date is more like it," Remus muttered. "And if any of us are caught in Hogsmeade this year we'll be in serious trouble. I'm not going to give you the map so quit whining about it."

Sirius knew it was pointless to argue and since they were still working their way through more than enough detentions he decided not to press the issue. He knew that Remus was probably right. They'd all been banned from Hogsmeade visits for the remainder of the year, and with so many teachers in the village on the official Hogsmeade weekends there was a high chance of his being caught.

Instead of asking again, Sirius climbed into the chair that Remus was sitting in and settled down so that he was pressed up against Remus's back, his arms wrapped around the other boy's waist and his chin on his shoulder. Several 'ahs' sounded throughout the room and Remus smiled to himself. He still found it a little difficult to believe just how easily the rest of the students had accepted the fact that he and Sirius were in a romantic relationship together. He suspected that it might have a lot to do with the fact that Sirius was one of the most popular students in the school, not to mention one of the stars of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Sirius didn't agree with his reasoning but Remus was too happy at their acceptance to worry about such a trivial matter.

"What're you guys playing anyway?" Sirius asked as he looked at the board.

"Wizarding Monopoly," Remus explained. "You want to join in?"

"Aren't you in the middle of a game?"

"We've only just started," Peter said. "We're only on the second circuit of the board. There's lots of property still to buy. You ever played before?"

Sirius shook his head and Remus and Peter proceeded to tell him the objectives of game. "So you want to join in?"

"Okay," Sirius agreed. "Where are the pieces?"

Remus picked up the bag with the remaining pieces and noted that there were some missing. "You can choose from the spell book, the broomstick or the potions vial."

"What piece have you got?"

"I'm the centaur and Peter's the cauldron."

"The ones that are left are all boring, I'd rather be the centaur."

"I'm the centaur. Why don't you be the broomstick, seeing as how you're on the Quidditch team?" Remus picked up the broomstick and placed it on the board where it hovered ready to begin.

"Can't I be the centaur?" Sirius asked in a voice that could only be described as pure whining. Remus wondered whether it might have been less trouble just to give him the map.

"There's nothing wrong with the broomstick," Remus muttered impatiently.

"But I'd rather be the centaur than an inanimate object," Sirius complained as the centaur paced back and forth on its square. "Please?"

Remus drew in a sharp breath as Sirius inched even closer and pressed himself intimately against Remus's back. The touch of Sirius's lips against the sensitive spot just behind his ear was enough to persuade Remus to give up his favourite playing piece and let Sirius have his own way.

"Thanks Moony," Sirius gushed as Remus replaced his own piece with the spell book and Sirius moved the centaur back to the start square. Peter meanwhile counted out Sirius's starting money and Sirius took his first turn.

"King's Cross Station," he announced as the centaur came to a halt. "I'll buy it."

"I already have it," Remus said. "Which means you have to pay me rent of fifty galleons."

"Pocket change," Sirius grinned as he handed over the play money.

"You do know you can't replenish your money in the game with real money?" Peter asked, immediately laughing at Sirius's crestfallen expression.

Remus took the money from Sirius and placed it with the rest of his cash. From the corner of his eye he saw an arm reaching out for the cards of the four properties that he already owned. "I can see you, you know," he warned Sirius. "I know which properties I have so you can't sneak any into your own pile."

"I wasn't going to take them," Sirius mumbled. "I just wanted to see what you'd got."

"Okay, I'll forgive you. Go ahead and look."

"Really?" Sirius asked in surprise as his hand hovered over the cards.

"This isn't like poker or something," Remus laughed. "If you'd been here when we started playing you'd know what I've got already."

"Oh yeah," Sirius looked slightly embarrassed by his ignorance and Remus squeezed his hand to encourage his easy smile to return. It reappeared as easily as it always did and Remus turned back to the board for Peter's turn.

Peter remained stuck in Azkaban, refusing to pay to get out, and Remus on taking his turn, was thrilled to land on the Ministry of Magic, which along with Hogwarts School formed the set of the two most expensive properties on the board.

"Does that mean you can build on that now?" Sirius asked.

"Not unless I buy Hogwarts as well," Remus replied. "You can only build if you own a full set. I can't believe you've never played this game before."

Sirius scowled. "My family aren't exactly big on games and things like that. That would require them actually getting along for more than a few minutes at a time."

Remus could feel the tension in Sirius as he passed the dice to the other boy. He leaned back into him and rested a hand on his leg, rubbing his knee gently until he felt the tension drain out of him.

"Stuff your family," Peter said as Sirius rolled the dice. "You've got us now. We're your family."

"Too right, mate," Sirius declared as he rolled the dice and watched the centaur walk through the Azkaban jail square and settle on Diagon Alley. "Can I buy that one?"

"Yes," Remus replied after checking it was still available. He turned round to pass Sirius the card.

"Does that mean I get all the money from Gringotts?" Sirius suggested with a wide grin.

"Not even if you land on Gringotts itself," Remus laughed as he pointed to another square.

The three boys passed the rest of the afternoon playing the game and soon it became apparent that Sirius's lack of experience with the game was easily countered by his wonderful good luck. By the time they were on the tenth circuit of the board both Remus and Peter had been sent to Azkaban twice whilst Sirius had remained free to sweep around the board, mainly landing on previously unowned property. When Remus and Peter landed on the chance cards it was hit and miss as to whether it was a good or bad result. Remus was assessed for street repairs almost immediately after he'd placed a hotel on Knockturn Alley. Sirius had told him it was his own fault since no one with sense would want to stay in Knockturn Alley anyway. Peter meanwhile nearly went bankrupt with the cost of paying for all the players to go to the Quidditch World Cup.

Sirius on the other hand won second prize for the most dashing wizard (he was thrilled to get this card and stated loudly that he was happy to come second as he was sure Remus must have come first). Sirius also acquired both of the get out of Azkaban free cards, much to the disappointment of Peter and Remus who were the ones who seemed to need them.

"Won't you sell me the Ministry of Magic?" Sirius begged. "You can't build on it without Hogwarts anyway."

"Which you have," Remus snorted. Sirius had landed on Hogwarts School on his second circuit of the board and had been regularly begging Remus to sell him the Ministry of Magic ever since.

"Pay St Mungo's fees of forty galleons," Peter sighed. "I'm nearly broke already."

"You'll have to mortgage something," Remus suggested.

It wasn't long before Peter was completely bankrupt and Remus wasn't that far behind.

Sirius fell backwards into the chair, pulling Remus along with him, as he crowed his victory. He flung the fake money into the air and began humming a tuneless rendition of a song Remus couldn't quite place.

"You've been listening to muggle songs again, haven't you?" Peter asked with a grin.

"It annoys my mother even more than the motorbike I told her I was building in Muggle Studies," Sirius replied with a smirk before launching into a rousing rendition of Money, Money Money and proving just how frequently he'd heard the song.

"I thought you were living permanently with James now?" Remus asked once Sirius had finished singing.

"I am. But the muggle songs is kind of a habit now."

"Any chance you could break it?" Peter asked. "Or at least take some singing lessons?"

"Git!" Sirius retorted as he threw a cushion at Peter and sent the board game toppling to the floor.

"I wonder where James has got to," Remus wondered as he twisted round in Sirius's arms and swung his legs over the side of the seat so that he was effectively sitting in Sirius's lap. "It's getting dark and most of the others are already back."

"I don't see Lily," Sirius answered as he pulled Remus closer and hugged him. "He won't come back until she does."

Almost as if she had been summoned by his words, the portrait hole swung open to reveal Lily Evans herself. Her friends looked up eagerly and Remus could tell that they were waiting to hear how her date had gone. From the look on her face, he guessed not that well. He looked past her towards the common room entrance, expecting to see James reappearing any moment. Unfortunately not only was there no sign of James, Lily was making a beeline for them and she had an unreadable expression on her face.

"Professor Dumbledore needs to see you both, right away," Lily said without preamble. "You'd better come too Peter." She turned to leave, clearly expecting them to follow without argument. Sirius groaned loudly as Remus left his arms and dragged him to his feet.

"What's this all about?" Remus asked as they followed Lily back out of the common room.

"I don't know," Lily replied.

"Did James get caught in Hogsmeade or something?" Peter asked.

"Unfortunately not," Lily muttered.

"Then what are we being called to Dumbledore for?" Sirius pressed, but Lily simply repeated that she had no idea.

They arrived at Dumbledore's office at the same time as Professor McGonagall, whom it appeared had also been summoned.

Professor McGonagall knocked smartly on the door and waited for permission to enter. The familiar voice sounded a moment later and Remus and the others stepped into the room to see why they'd been called.

"Ah Minerva, there you are. And the boys too. Thank you Miss Evans." Dumbledore waved them all into the room and to the seats in front of his desk. Remus could see that James was already there, looking as bemused as he was.

"You're probably all wondering why you've been summoned here," Dumbledore began as he strode to his own seat. Remus nodded politely, as did Lily.

"Well I won't keep you in suspense any longer." Dumbledore smiled around the room and a moment later a familiar watery substance appeared to the side of his desk. "You recognise this of course," he continued. "We'll be having a few visitors joining us momentarily."

"Visitors?" McGonagall asked, her tone betraying nothing of her personal feelings at the news.

"Remus, Sirius and Lily, from the other world, will be joining us for reasons I'll explain once they are here," Dumbledore stated calmly. "They'll be living here in our world and joining our students for their lessons for the foreseeable future."

"No!" Sirius exclaimed, much to the astonishment of the rest of the room.

"Mr Black, control yourself," McGonagall ordered.

"But they hate Moony, at least Remus and Sirius do," he muttered. "They found out about him…about him being a werewolf."

"I have spoken with my own counterpart," Dumbledore interrupted with a raised hand. "I can assure you that our Remus will be in no danger from our guests."

The watery window between the two worlds expanded and cleared and Remus felt his stomach turn over when he saw his double standing sullenly on the other side of the barrier. Even Sirius's fingers finding and squeezing his own in silent reassurance couldn't quell the uneasiness he felt as Dumbledore's double waved their guests through the barrier and into their lives again.

Author notes: I hope you enjoyed part one of this fic. The idea of wizarding monopoly was something I intended to write as a one shot last Christmas but never got around to. It was an idea that simply sprang to mind as the argument of who gets the dog playing piece in the standard game erupted for the six billionth time. Seriously, couldn't you just see Remus picking the dog because of Sirius's animagus form and Sirius wanting the piece himself? Okay maybe it's just me. ;-)

Anyway, the one shot idea was quite easy to work around to become the first part of this story.
