Chapter 2
Remus's Pov
This is ridiculous. I am currently wandering around the halls of Hogwarts with no idea what I'm doing! Although it's a Wednesday we have the day off lessons, because Dumbledore felt that the students deserved a break as exams start tomorrow. From my point of view all it did was give me even more time to ponder my current problem. You see for the past 2 years I have been in love with one of my best friends…Sirius Black. As you can imagine that has caused me a fair few problems. Not only is Sirius as straight as a plank of wood but even if he was gay it wouldn't matter anyway as Sirius could do a hell of a lot better than me. I mean come on look at me…my biggest flaw is the fact I'm a werewolf. Then there's the problem that I am completely ordinary and boring. Sirius is one of the most attractive people in the school he is constantly being hounded by, as they have come to be known as, the Gryffindor Sluts. Who have covered their body in Merlin knows how many different substances, they have brightly painted lips and breasts pumped so much they rest about their multiple pierced ears. Which self-respecting wizard is going to pick me over them? No wizard that's who! The only person that is aware of my predicament is Lily Evans. She managed to get it out of me about a year ago after she confronted me in the library while we were studying for our OWLs. I can still remember every detail of that conversation.
**FLASHBACK**
Me and Lily were sat in the back corner of the library. I was writing an essay for Transfiguration about Animagi.
"You love him don't you!" she just said suddenly. As if she was just stating a well-known fact.
"What?" I said. I tried to act normal pretending I had no idea what she was on about. But she just looked at me with that knowing smirk on her face and a gleam in her eye as if she had just solved a great riddle or mystery
"Sirius. You love Sirius" she replied locking her eyes with mine. I sat there frozen. A blank shocked expression was on my face but underneath my brain was going nuts. 'How had she figured it out? Was it obvious? What if she told him or James or Peter! I'd lose my only friends! They wouldn't want to be friends with a poof! It was too much to expect on top of the werewolf thing! I couldn't expect them to deal with this as well.
"Err…I don't know what you're on about!" I said trying to shrug it of but I knew as my voice broke on the last few words that there was no way out of this one.
"Don't lie to me Remus!" she said keeping her eyes locked on mine.
"Please don't tell them," I whispered surprised by the begging tone in my voice "please Lilly they'll hate me!"
"Remus, your friends maybe the most arrogant bunch of dick heads I have ever had the displeasure of meeting they won't hate you for this." Lily said very quietly
"I don't care Lily please promise me you won't tell anyone?"
"OK. I promise."
**END OF FLASHBACK**
And so far she'd kept her promise telling no one. A few months back I did accuse her telling Sirius because recently he had been acting a tad strange like staring at me and turning away blushing when I looked at him. I think James is in on it as well, because when I do catch him, James leans over and whispers 'you're slipping'. Something that I always hear because of my werewolf hearing.
But she had sworn she hadn't so I have been trying to figure out what was going on. So far I've been unsuccessful. The only thing I was picking up on was the looks James kept shooting Sirius.
I was jerked out of my internal monologue when I rounded the corner to find most of the professors, including Dumbledore, stood around outside the staff room.
"Ah, Mister Lupin I was wondering if I could talk to you about prefect rounds?" Dumbledore called to me up the corridor.
"Of course professor " I called back and started to walk up the corridor.
END OF CHAPTER
So there you have it! Chapter 2 of 'I Can't Do This Anymore'. I hope you liked it and pretty please review! The next chapter will be from Lily's perspective and her views on all of this. I'm going to have fun writing Lily I always liked how she was described in the OOTP during Snape's memory. See you next week!
