Cloudy Skies and Heartache
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Harry Potter and I'm making no profits out of this. I wish I had Sirius though –sighs-
Chapter 1
Remus sat in a quiet corner of the Gryffindor common room. Watching, thinking, wishing and hurting. He was watching Sirius (as usual), chatting a mile a minute to his girlfriend of 4 months, Isabella Delour (as usual). Thinking, Remus was thinking about how he'd like to throttle the girl, and kiss the boy. He was wishing how he could be the one in Isabella's shoes and have Sirius eyes gaze so adoringly at him. And hurting, because all the wishing and thinking in the world would never make it come true.
Despite the close friendship he shared with Sirius, the large amounts of time spent together and secrets shared, Remus often felt that Sirius never did really 'see' him for who he was. Perhaps it was because he was a guy, or that he was not Sirius Black's type, but Remus always felt insignificant in Sirius' eyes, as though he was just a tree in the background of Sirius' life. He was just there.
And while Sirius was always concerned and overprotective about Remus' well-being, especially during the full moon, Remus always wished for something more. He could not curb his greedy urges. He should count his blessings that Sirius was able to look beyond his 'furry little problem', and willing to become an Animagus for him. He should be grateful to have a friend like Sirius.
But no, his traitorous heart would not listen. All he had ever wanted, since 3rd grade, was to claim Sirius as his. And so did the wolf…
'NO NO NO!'
He forced that disgusting thought down, sighed tiredly, and rubbed his blurry eyes. Too much staring today. Anymore and he might as well wear a neon flashing sign saying 'I LOVE SIRIUS BLACK' on his forehead.
Growling under his breath, he shot one last dirty look at the couple, before stalking up the stairs to the dormitories.
Sirius as usual, oblivious to his best mate's predicament, merely yelled a chirpy, 'Good night Moony!' in response.

And so this continued daily, till last two months before the NEWTS.
"Damn that bitch! How could she do this to me!"
Remus could hear Sirius ranting and raving the whole way up the steps to the dormitories, in which Remus had originally escaped to for some peace and quiet.
"There goes my peace and quiet," Remus sighed internally.
The door burst open, signally Sirius' entrance. A thunderous expression was on the handsome face of the black-haired boy, and you could practically see the anger quivering through his limbs as he stalked towards his bed and flinging himself rather dramatically on it.
Remus kept quiet, watching Sirius carefully, just waiting for him to burst, when...
"ISABELLA'S BEEN CHEATING ON ME! WITH THAT SLYTHERIN IN OUR YEAR! THAT DRAGE-E, DARGA, OH WHATEVER HIS NAME IS. THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF ROCK. SHE CHEATED ON ME! ME! ARGHHH! AND TO THINK I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE FELT SOMETHING FOR HER. MERLIN!"
Well this Remus had not expected. Sirius reaction, rather than Isabella's actions. He knew what a two-faced hypocrite Isabella could be and had been waiting for the day something like this was going to happen. But he didn't think that Sirius would have reacted so violently.
Whenever a relationship Sirius was in ended, it never did bother him. No matter what the girl did, he would just walk away, without a backwards glance. Relationships to Sirius were like disposable plates, to use when in need, appreciate its use for that moment, before throwing it away, with no strings attached and no emotional attachment.
This kind of reaction was the first he had ever seen. And unfortunately for Remus, it was not the last he was going to hear about this.
