Sorry this one shot is so short, the others should be longer.


Acrid:

1. Having and irritatingly strong and unpleasent taste or smell

2. Angry and bitter


One date. Just one. He'd promised. But was he here? No. He was too busy playing pranks with James. He hadn't even tried to reschedule. All he got was a 'Sorry Remus, Zonko's got new products, James and I have to try them out.' Not even an invitation to come along. It's always about James, always, every time, he thought bitterly.

How could he ever think Sirius would put him above James, just this once? It was stupid, he was stupid. Stupid, idiotic, naive Remus, believing he might possibly be more important than James for once.

And now he had to go to the restaraunt, alone, with reservations for two. He'd have to withstand the pitying looks from those serving him, and the stares from the other Hogwarts students who would no doubt tell their friends, who in turn would tell theirs. Everyone would know, – it was Hogwarts, how could everyone not – and he'd be known as that pathetic boy who got stood up. All because Sirius couldn't just show up for one date. Just one date. And all because of Potter. Stupid Potter. And stupid Black.
