After lunch you could find Remus Lupin under a pale beech tree by the lake, acompanied by no one other than Sirius Black. Remus was leaning up against the tree reading some book about Transfiguration. Sirius was practically bored to tears, until he had an idea. He leaned over and kissed Remus.
"Hey!" Remus exclaimed.
"What?" Sirius said, acting innocent.
"You can't just do that!" Remus argued.
"Why not?" Sirius asked."I thought we were okay now?"
"Well..."
"I thought we'd talked it all out, like you wanted."
"Well...I'm still not sure."
"About what!?" Sirius said exaustedly.
"About us?"
"What about us?"
"I don't know!"
"Then what's wrong?"
"Sirius..," Remus started."I'm going to the library."
"What?!"Sirius exclaimed,"What did I do?!"
"Nothing, just..." Remus was running out of excuses.
"Please just stay, I'm sorry for whatever it was that I did."Sirius looked pleadingly at Remus. Remus opened his mouth to reply, but seemed unable to find a reason to. Instead he turned away and walked towards the castle, he passed James on his way back. James looked raised and eyebrow at Remus as he went to sit by Sirius.
"What's up with him, I thought you guys talked?"James asked.
"I thought so too...I don't know what's up with Remus."Sirius replied.
"Uhm, well you could always give hm chocolate!" James offered.
"What?"Sirius asked.
"Uhh, well Remus likes...and I thought...Erm, nevermnd."James finished.
"Okay..."Sirius said slowly. They sat in almost complete silence for the rest of the time spent outside.
Remus once again found himself contemplating his life in the library, rather than reading or studying, which he really should be doing, he reminded himself. Just as he was about to start researching for a charms essay, someone inturrupted him.
"Remus, what's wrong?" He looked up, it was James this time.
" I've been asked that way too much today..." Was all Remus replied, he was really just muttering it to himself though.
" I just sat silent for almost an hour with Sirius, what's happened?" Remus just looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. "well, besides that." James finished.
"It just can't work between me and Sirius." Remus said tonelessly, and turned back to his work.
"Why not?" James huffed, he didn't like seeing his two best friends upset. Remus sighed.
"It has to do with my condition." Remus started, but was stopped by James.
"You know Sirius doesn't care about that, in fact if I remember right, he's even trying to become an animagus for you!" James' eyes went wide,"I mean...uhm...surprise?"Remus momentarily forgot what he going to say, Sirius would do that for me?, was all he could think. "Uhm, I'm gonna go find Lily before i do something else stupid, or better yet I'm just going to bed because if I find Lily I'l probably have a better chance of doing something stupid, Uh yeah..." With that James stood up and left Remus to his thoughts, well not for long because the wonderful Sirius Orion Black picked this time to show up. He said nothing, he just sat down at the table Remus was seated at, and looked at his friend.
"Can we still be friends, forget this all happened, and just go back be fore the party?" He asked, hitting Remus with his puppy-pout-eyes. Remus thought for a couple seconds.
"Well...we can try, can't we?" Remus let a small smile come over his face. Sirius smiled too, he also stood up and made to hug Remus, but then held out a hand to shake instead. Remus took it, shaking his head along with Sirius' hand. He then stood up too and walked with Sirius back to the common room. The rest of the day was normal, or so it seemed, until Remus noticed Sirius' scent was getting stronger once again. Maybe it'll just go away in time, Remus thought hopefully as he drifted off into a strange sleep, in which he had a dream of a large wolf running around with a black dog.
