oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was a beautiful Monday night of September. The 4 Marauders were hanging out in the Gryffindor Common Room. Peter and James were playing chess, Remus was doing a Transfiguration homework that was due in two days, and Sirius was watching them from the couch, completly bored. He wished one of his friends would join him to prank the Slytherins instead of doing such boring things. Sighing, he got up and sat next to Remus.
Sirius looked at the boy next to him, deep in thought. Sirius had realised that he never knew how to act or what to say when he was next to Remus, because he always wanted to impress him, or show off, only to get his attention. Because he liked him. What he felt for his friend was far more than friendship since last year. Sirius sighed. No one knew about his infutiation with their favourite lycanthrope. Not even James. How could he ever tell his best friend that he, Hogwart's ladie's man, was gay? Not that he thought James would mind (after all, if he had accepted a werewolf, how could not accept his friend's homosexuality?) , but love was a subject Sirius hated to talk about, and he always avoided it when he could manage it. It's not like if Moony liked him back. Remus wasn't even gay! So it didn't matter anyway how Sirius felt, because nothing will happen! Never!
Sirius came back down to earth when he heard Peter swore loudly when James took his Queen. He shook his head, laughing.
" Hey Moony. Wanna play a game of Exploding Snap? " he asked hopefully.
" No, sorry Pads, but I'm not even nearly done with this... " said Remus, without looking up from his book. "Maybe Prongs and Wormtail will play with you, though. "
" I don't think so... they've been playing chess for ages, and their game isn't even half finished... " sighed Sirius. "
Remus continued to write things down, muttering to himself in fast French. Sirius smiled fondly. He loved it when his friend spoke in French. Remus, whose family came from France, often used French when he studied or wrote things down. Sirius thought it made him look even sexier than usual. Not that Remus knew, of course. The only thing he hated when Remus spoke French was the fact that he never understood what his friend said. And Remus often said sentences in French in front of him, for fun, just to annoy him.
Sirius looked at his friend with his best puppy eyes, and said slowly:
" Come on, Moony, entertain me here! I'm bored to death! "
When the werewolf didn't reply, Sirius decided he would not give up. He took his friend's quill in one fast move.
" Sirius, give it back. " Remus sighed, clearly annoyed.
" Only if you accept to play a game with me ! " smiled the Animagus, smiling broadly.
" Don't make me hex you! " Remus warned.
" Like you could ever hex me, Moony! You love me far too much for that! "
" Si seulement tu savais (1) " muttered Remus. " Come on, give it back. "
" Oh, no, I won't! You're gonna have to catch it then! Come on, you're always doing homework, that's so boring! Have some fun for once! Go! I bet you can't take it back! " Sirius smiled evilly, waving the quill in the air to provoke his friend.
Remus looked at him for a while, then angrily took his things, and left in direction of their dormitory. Sirius got up as well, running fastly after Remus.
" Come on, Rem, it was only a joke! Don't be mad! "
" Sirius, tu es la personne la plus arrogante que je connaisse! Maintenant fous moi la paix! (2) " Remus yelled, walking faster to avoid his friend.
" Rem, please, you know I don't understand a word of what you're saying... " Sirius said, desperate.
" Tu es toujours en train de faire des devoirs! (3) " Remus said, imitating Sirius's voice. " Et qui a eu l'idée de la carte des Maraudeurs? Qui a organisé notre dernier méfait? Moi! Alors ne dis pas des choses qui ne sont même pas vraies! (4) "
Remus seemed close to tears. Sirius took him by the arm, and made the werewolf stop.
" Come on, Moony, you know I didn't mean it! I was only trying to provoke you so you would play a bit, that's all! " Sirius said pleadingly.
" You said it anyway! " Remus said bitterly. " J'arrive pas à croire que c'est ce que tu penses de moi! (5). "
Remus walked away, clearly heartbroken. Sirius looked as the one he loved shut the door of their dormitory. Clearly he wasn't welcome tonight. He swore loudly. Why did he always have to mess things up like this? Why was he always the one to hurt Remus?
Sirius sat on the couch of the Common Room, feeling very bad inside. James and Peter, who had apparently finished their game, looked at him.
" What happened to Moony? " James asked.
" Nothing, Prongs. I'm just a stupid prat. But hey, that's nothing new. " Sirius muttered angrily.
" What did you do this time? " Peter asked slowly.
" I don't wanna talk about it, okay? " Sirius shouted.
Silence.
" Sorry, Pete. I just want to be alone, okay? " Sirius said in a small voice.
" Yea, that's alright. See you tomorrow, Pads. " James said, and he got up to the dormitory with Peter.
Sirius sighed. He wondered why Remus had reacted so much. And what the hell he was saying in that stupid language that was French. He fell asleep, thinking of Remus.
