Just a pointless stupid little story I wrote a long time ago(:
"My aunt's sick, so I'm going to visit her today."
"Stop lying, Remus."
"What? I'm not lying!"
"Oh, no? Your aunt died twice in the last six month."
"I have a few aunts."
"And all of them died this year, and in a weird coincidence they all named Aunt Margaret?"
"I-I'm not…"
"If you're lying, at least be good at it."
"That's not-"
"Remus, just stop. We know you're lying. Now, do you care to explain us why?"
"Fine, you're right. But I can't tell you the truth."
"Why not?"
"I just can't."
"If you're not going to tell us where wou're going, can't you at least tell us why you can't?"
"Dumbledore."
"Dumbledore? You can't tell us because of Dumbledore?"
"Yes, he made me promise I won't tell anyone. And besides, if someone finds out the truth, they'll expel me."
"Expel you?!"
"Yes."
"Are you lying again?"
"No! I swear! You can go and ask Dumbledore if you want!"
-------
"Yes, Mr. Potter and Mr. Black, he did not lie. But he did not say the whole truth either. He thinks that if you know the truth, he'll be expelled, but that's not necessarily true. Unfortunately, all I can say that if he's right about you, he will have to leave school."
"But why?"
"This is not my secret to tell. All I can do is to ask you, for your friend's sake, to stop asking questions in that matter and forget about the whole thing."
------
"Do you think Remus and Dumbledore were telling the truth?"
"Yes."
"And do you think it's not our business?"
"Yes."
"But do you think we should keep investigate and find the truth?"
"Without a doubt."
