Chapter 1: Realizations

Remus raised his eyebrows as Sirius stumbled in to the common room grinning.

"Hey Moony, I think I'm in love." Sirius sighed smiling. Remus felt his insides clench together.

"Who with?"

"Freya." At this comment, Remus felt his heart shatter. Freya had been Sirius' most recent girlfriend and was the only girl he'd kept for over 2 weeks. She was a gryffindor, in the year below them. Most people thought Sirius ad stayed with her because James and Lilly had got together, spending more time together as they were both the heads. Lilly was the one who got Remus to realise he liked, loved even, Sirius. However, he forced a smile.

"I'm happy for you Pads," Sirius smiled at Remus and clapped him on the back, heading upstairs. Frank Longbottom came over to Remus.

"You okay, mate?" Frank asked.

"What d'ya mean?" Remus said, going back to the book in his lap. Frank sighed.

"You like Sirius more than a mate, I can tell." Remus made a choking noise. "It's really obvious when you stare at him 24/7." Remus blushed, making Frank laugh.

"Doesn't matter, seeming as he 'loves' Freya." Frank winced at Remus' bitter tone.

"Tell ya what, we'll go into Hogsmede with Pete. Go tell him to get changed, and we'll go down."

"It's only 5!" Remus protested.


Remus and Frank roared with laughter as a blushing Peter finished his joke. Just then, James, Lilly and Alice came up to their table in the pub.

"You ready to come back to the castle yet?" Alice asked, pulling Frank up.

"You go, I'll be up there in a bit." He slurred. Lilly smiled sympatheticly and kissed his head, then going to help James haul Peter up, who was drunkenly snoring.

"See ya mate," James said pityingly. Remus nodded and walked into a different bar, sitting on one of the bar stools.

"Mind if I sit next to you?"

"I thought all seventh year slytherins hated each other?" He said to the person sitting next to him.

"Yeah, well, I really don't care right now."

"Found out about Bellatrix and Lucius?" He said to Nacrissa.
