A/N : Number 2 in the series! Hey, has anyone else thought that Justin Bieber would make a good young Remus Lupin (not that Im a fan of him - Bieber I mean, Remus I'm a crazy fan of!). I imagine a more watered down, less confident version of his would be a perfect Remus! Tell me what you guys think ;)

Drabble 2

Central Word : Blood

Timeline : Year 1, End of November.

"Did you see Evan's face, I thought she'd combust!"

James snorted gleefully "No sense of humour, that one."

"I think we should do it bigger next time, y'know, take it to the next level"

"She'll kill us"

"Aww come on, McGonagall loves us"

"I meant Evans"

It was Sirius's turn to snort. Before he could call James a pansy, the door opened and Remus Lupin shambled in, looking small and exhausted.

"Hey Remus" said James cheerfully and was met with a hesitant smile. After two months of sleeping in the same dormitory, Lupin had yet to hold a complete conversation with them.

"Hey" Sirius said automatically, wondering what it would take to get this boy out of his shell.

The brown eyes turned to him for an instant

"Hey"

An awkward silence lasted for ten seconds, then Lupin spoke in a soft voice.

"Y-You're sitting on my bed" His eyes were focused on his shoes .

Sirius leaned back on his elbows, a grin forming slowly on his face. James would have told him to be kind, but he wanted to provoke the sandy haired boy into speech.

"Am I, now? Well, what are you going to do about it?"

James glared pointedly, but was ignored.

Lupin looked up for a second, and Sirius was astonished to see his eyes filled with tears.

"P-please I need to sle-"

"Remus, is that blood on your sleeve?" said James sharply.

Lupin flinched away, with a frightened expression as James reached forward to touch his shirt.

"No!" Lupin stepped back two paces, and looked around the room frantically, as if expecting a saviour to materialise.

"Remus" said James gently "Tell us what happened, we'll help"

"It's noth-nothing, I'm going down to have my lunch" Remus turned and practically ran.

Sirius raised an eyebrow "That was highly mysterious"

"You are an insensitive git!"

Sirius didn't answer.

"Did you see his reaction? I think someone hurt him."

"Well then, they'd better watch out."
