Two figures walked down the desolate road at Hogsmede, doing some last minute Christmas shopping no doubt. The taller of the two, Sirius Black had long black shiny hair and cold grey eyes that were trying to stay focused to the ground. The shorter boy, Remus Lupin had shorter dirty blonde hair and bright amber eyes. Remus seemed to be frowning as the two walked down the road this particular night. Earlier Sirius laid his hand on Remus's on "accident" and was quite shaken up about it. They walked in silence until Remus spoke up," Sirius, what's wrong? I've known you for a long time and something's not right". Sirius began to speak but his words were quick and ended in a jumbled up mess," I. you. secret for so long". Remus sighed, "Now take a deep breath Sirius and tell me what's wrong?" Sirius did as told and sat on a bench nearby, "I. I. I love you Remus!" he said starting to cry, "I'm sorry" he said crying harder. Remus blinked and smiled walking over, "there's nothing wrong with that now is there?" he said wiping away a tear, "why are you sorry?" Sirius paused and then said "I. I . I thought you would think I was weird because I like you and I'm a guy too, I thought you would hate me." "Most were wolfs end up bi-sexual anyway" Remus said, this was one of the many facts stored in his mind," and the truth is after all you've done for me, I love you too Sirius" . Sirius blinked and buried his head in Remus's shoulder crying tears of happiness. Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius and rested his head on Sirius's and a tear or two came to his eyes something he never allowed to happen in front of others. After what seemed like hours (but was actually minutes) Sirius looked up a bit teary eyed and said "I think we should go back to the castle now". Remus nodded getting up and holding out a hand to help Sirius up who took it and rubbed his eyes. "Try not to look like you've been crying, we don't want James to think I attacked you or something", Remus said with a laugh. Sirius laughed too still holding onto Remus's hand," you're covered in snow " Remus stated watching Sirius. At that Sirius shook his head like a dog, snow going everywhere. "Heeyy" Remus said picking up some snow off the ground and lightly tossing it at Sirius, "Oy I look like a snowman.." Sirius said looking in a shop window. "a weird snowman at that" Remus said chuckling. Sirius opened the Honey dukes door and they made their way to the trap door in the back.
