A/N: Woo! I broke 100 reviews! I -sniff- don't know what to say. -pulls out a REALLY long piece of paper- Ahem. "Ever since I was little I'd love to read. Pretty much anything was acceptable. And I-"

-Sirius comes over and places his hand over my mouth-
S: "We're experiencing technical difficulties. Please read the story and maybe this speech will continue." -turns to me and takes his hand off- "No what did I say about the speech?"

Me: -looks at feet- "Not until you and Remus are happy." -looks up at him- "But I got 100 reviews!"

S: "Are Remus and me happy yet?"

Me: "No…"

S: "Then no speech!"

Me: "But-"

S: "No!" -pulls me back to my computer-

Me: -sigh- "Fine. It's Remus and I, by the way."

--

"What are you talking about?" asked Rick. "How can you technically not be single?"

Still looking at his feet Remus said, "My boyfriend and I haven't broken up."

Rick stared at him in disbelief. "Then why did you say yes? You're cheating on him."

Remus looked at him and blushed, "It's not cheating. He doesn't know that we're together."

"Wait," Rick held up a hand to stop Remus from continuing. "Your boyfriend doesn't remember that you two are going out? Is he stupid?"

Remus shook his head, "He lost his memory a couple of days ago."

"He lost his memory…You mean like Sirius? I thought he was the only-." Rick paused as it all came together. "You and Sirius?" he said louder than necessary. Remus looked back and saw Sirius hiding in the bushes. Trying to remain unheard, he pushed Rick to the back of the store.

When they were away from the other customers Rick apologized. "I was just a little shocked, I guess. I can't believe you and Sirius were lovers."

Remus' blush deepened when Rick said 'lovers'. He cleared his throat to try and break the silence, "Yes I was. But he has Claire now."

"That's right," confirmed Rick. "She told everyone that she was Sirius' secret girlfriend for the past month. Why did she do that?"

Remus raised an eyebrow, "Why do you think?"

"Oh…right," he said sympathetically. "That really sucks for you, huh?"

Remus slowly nodded his head and sat down on the ground. Rick crouched down next to him and noticed that he was much paler than before. He placed his hand on Remus' forehead, which Remus' blush come back.

"What are you doing?" he asked as he tried to push the hand away.

But Rick kept it in place, "I'm making sure that you're not sick." He pulled his hand away when he realized that there was no temperature and looked at Remus. "We should get you to Madam Pomfrey."

"I told you I'm fine." Remus tried to get up but he lost his balance half-way and landed on his butt.

Rick chuckled and stood up; he offered his hand and Remus gladly took it. "Come on. We're going to see her."

Remus rolled his eyes but agreed.

--

When Sirius heard Rick yell his name he quickly turned and looked through the window. He saw Remus briefly look his way. 'He can't see me, I'm hidden.' But the way that Remus had looked right at him made him wonder if he was hidden as well as he thought he was.

The couple caught Sirius' attention when Remus pushed Rick to the back of the store. Sirius stood up and tried to see where they went. He was about to go in when he heard someone call his name.

"Siri-kins!" He cringed at the name and slowly turned around. Standing there was Claire and…

"James?" Sirius walked over to the two. "What are you doing?"

James had the decency to look ashamed as he said, "Showing Claire where you were."

Claire moved so she was standing right next to Sirius and took his hand. "I've been looking for you everywhere!"

Sirius pulled his hand away, "James can I talk to you for a second? In private?" James nodded his head and he and Sirius walked away. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"Don't blame me!" cried James. "Your stupid girlfriend caught me off guard."

Sirius punched him, "She's not my girlfriend."

James rubbed his arm and glared at the other boy. "Then why don't you break up with her?"

Sirius glared back, "Fine. I will." Sirius turned around and stated to walk back to Claire. James quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him behind a building.

"I didn't mean it!"

Sirius looked at him confused, "Why would I want to stay with her?"

"Uh…," Sirius could tell there was something that James didn't want to tell him. "People will wonder why you guys broke up. Think about it. You and Claire have supposedly been going out for a month. And as soon as you lose your memory you break up? Wouldn't that seem a little suspicious?"

"That's her problem, not mine." He started to walk away but James stopped him again.

"But then she'll have to tell everyone the truth and then all the girls will do the exact same thing as her."

"You and Peter can tell me who I was really dating," Sirius told him matter-of-factly.

"But we promised them we wouldn't," James countered.

Sirius crossed his arms over his chest, "So you'll let this happen over and over again?"

James smiled and nodded his head. Sirius glared at him again and stomped off toward Claire with James following close by.

Sirius walked up to Claire and smiled, "So, why did you need me?"

Claire smiled and took his hand again. "Well, I was hoping we could go to Madam Puddifoot's. And after that I need some new robes, so can we go to Gladrags Wizardwears? Okay? Good."

She started to drag Sirius off when he heard the bell to the bookstore. He quickly turned around and saw Rick holding Remus' arm. Before he could comment on that he heard James gasp. He looked at him and saw that he was staring at Remus. His gaze shifted back to the werewolf and saw that he was much worse than before.

He yanked his hand away and he and James hurried over to him. "Moony!" he cried as he got closer. Remus looked up from the ground and weakly smiled.

"I'm fine guys," he assured. "I'm just a little tired. Rick decided to cut the date short and take me to see Madam Pomfrey." Sirius saw Rick subtly poke Remus in the side.

Without Sirius' realizing it, Claire had walked up next to him and took his hand for the third time. "Oh, poor Remus. Are you sick?"

Remus looked from Sirius to her and shook his head. "No. Not re-."

But he was cut off by Rick. "Of course he's sick. Can't you tell?" Sirius looked over to the girl and saw her blush a little from embarrassment. Sirius looked at his sick friend and saw how Rick was holding him up.

"Remus," he said worriedly.

Remus looked at him, "I'm fine, Pads." James had walked over and took his other arm. They started to move him towards the castle. "Guys, stop." And they did; he walked away from them 

against their protests. He made his way to Sirius and stopped a few feet away. "I want you to have fun today. Can you do that for me?"

Sirius swallowed the big lump in his throat but nodded. He saw Remus smile and nod himself. He started to turn around but Sirius hugged him. "Be careful. Okay?"

Remus hugged him back, "Okay." Sirius let go when he saw Rick and James move towards them. When he was sure that Remus was okay he took a reluctant step back. He watched as the two boys took Remus back to the castle.

For the fourth time that day Claire took Sirius' hand and finally dragged him to the Tea Shop.

'Moony…'

--

The three boys had successfully made their way to the Hospital Wing. When Madam Pomfrey saw Remus she quickly took over and had placed him in a bed. She told the other two boys to leave so he could get rest.

"Thanks for taking such good care of our little Moony," James said with a jokingly tone. But then the pitch turned serious, "He really needed it." James leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

Rick copied him but kept his eyes open. "He's really strong isn't he?" He looked over to the Gryffindor and saw him nod.

"He's really brave too," James added, his eyes still closed.

"Yeah," agreed Rick. It was silent for a few minutes while both boys thought about Remus, but then Rick cleared his throat. James turned his head and looked at him. "Remus told me about him and Sirius." James mouth fell open as he stared at him.

But his recovered quickly, "What did he tell you exactly?"

"He told me that he wasn't technically single and I asked him what he meant. He told me that his boyfriend lost his memory and I put two and two together and figured it out. I asked him about Claire and he told me she was lying. Obviously, if it had been Remus who stole Sirius' heart."

James chuckled, "Romantic, much?" He saw Rick smile at his comment. "Did he tell you why he let Claire have him?"

"I didn't get the chance to ask him about it. I saw how pale he was and made a quick decision to bring him here." He looked James in the eye, "Why didn't he fight?"

"He doesn't think he's good enough for Sirius."

"What!?" cried Rick.

"I know!" James equally cried. "Sometimes he's the smartest dumb person I know!" He saw Rick smile again but he quickly turned serious. "What?"

"I want revenge."

James scrunched his eyebrows together, "What are you talking about?"

"I want to make Claire pay to what she's done to Remus."

When the words sunk in, James smiled an evil smile. "We have so much to talk about." He wrapped his arm around the Ravenclaw's shoulder and led him away.

--

Remus was staring at the ceiling when Madam Pomfrey came back to his bed. He gave her a weak smile as she handed him a Sleeping draught. "You really scared your friends."

When the potion was completely gone, Remus handed the cup back to her and turned away. "I know. I hope they know I'm really sorry about that."

Madam Pomfrey set the empty cup on the tray near them and sat at the foot of his bed. "Now, tell Poppy why you went out today. You and I both know it wasn't such a good idea." When Remus didn't answer her she placed a hand on his leg; he looked at her with tears in his eyes. She hurried to hug him and he cried into her shoulder. When he was all done, she handed him a tissue. "Well…?"

"I don't know," he replied with a sniffle. "Rick asked me out and I thought about it. But I couldn't come up with any reason why I shouldn't."

"What about Sirius?" she cautiously asked. Remus' eyes widen to three times their normal size. "Don't be so surprised that I know about you two."

"But how…?"

Madam Pomfrey blushed as she said, "I overheard you two the last full moon." Remus blushed when he remember what had happened. She placed her hand back on his leg and rubbed it in a soothing manner. Remus closed his eyes as the potion helped him fall fast asleep.

--

When James and Rick walked into the Gryffindor common room they saw Peter eating a chocolate frog. As he popped it into his mouth James whined. Peter and Rick both looked at him, "Sirius wouldn't let me eat at all today." Peter held up another frog and James dove for it. "MINE!"

After the chocolate had magically disappeared in James' stomach, he sat next to Peter on the couch. He pointed to the chair near them and Rick gladly took it.

"What's he doin' here?" asked Peter.

"He wants to help get revenge on Ms. Devil," James said as he licked his lips looking for any remaining chocolate.

Rick looked at them both, "Ms. Devil? You guys really couldn't come up with anything more creative?"

"Well what do you have in mind, Mr. Smarty-pants?" countered James.

Rick thought about it, "How about… 'Chienne'?" Peter and James stared at him with blank looks. He rolled his eyes, "It means 'bitch' in French."

Both James and Peter smiled, "Perfect."

James clapped his hands together, "Now, on to business!"

The three boys spent the rest of the afternoon coming up with a devious plan for revenge.

--

"What do you think of this, Siri-kins?"

Sirius looked up and saw Claire holding up an atrocious purple dress robe. "It depends…" he answered hesitantly.

She tore her gaze away from the garment and gave Sirius a questioning look. "It depends on what?"

He gave her his best smile when he said, "On who's wearing it."

"Oh, Siri-kins. You're so funny!" As she was laughing Sirius tried to sneak away but only made it a couple of feet. "Siri-kins! Where are you going?" He turned around and saw that Claire had set down the robe and was now following him.

"I was going to get something to drink," he lied. But now I plan was forming, "I kinda missed breakfast. And lunch. Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten all day. I'm going to head back to the castle and get some dinner." He was about to turn and leave when Claire grabbed his arm.

"We can go together. Let me just but the robe." She dragged him back to where she left the robe and then to the cash register. "Do you really like it, Siri-kins?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah. It's a nice color." He looked at her and saw a huge smile. 'Crap.'

"That's great! Because I got it for you!" She held out the horrible dress robe to him.

'Why didn't I realize that this was a men's robe?' he whined in his head as he reached for it.

--

When Madam Pomfrey thought he was fine Remus was allowed to leave the Hospital Wing, so he made his way to the Gryffindor Tower. He was about to give the Fat Lady the password when the portrait swung open revealing Rick, James, and Peter laughing. As soon as they saw him standing there they stopped.

"How ya feelin'?" asked Peter.

Remus shrugged his shoulders, "I've been better. What are you three up too?"

A mischievous smile spread across three faces. "Don't worry your pretty little head about it," answered James as he ruffled the werewolf's hair. Remus swatted the hand away and almost lost his balance, but Rick caught his hand.

"Thanks," he said with a blush.

Rick let go of his hand when he was sure he could stand on his own. "No problem." He turned the two Gryffindors. "I'm going to go back to my common room to…uh…figure out that problem. I'll see you guys at dinner." Rick waved to the three boys and headed to his own common room.

Remus turned back to his friends, "What are you three planning to do?"

James gave him an innocent look and Remus knew he wasn't going to get a straight out of him. So he turned to Peter, "Well…?"

"We…uh…You see…" stammered Peter.

But James came to his rescue, "What part of 'you don't have to worry' didn't you get?" he asked in mock annoyance.

Before Remus could answer that question, all three boys heard Peter's stomach complain. "I guess its dinner time," sighed Remus.

"Yayy!" cried James as he rushed to the food, leaving Peter and Remus alone together.

Peter looked at Remus, "Uh…"

Remus smiled at his uneasiness. "Come on, let's go get some food."

--

"And then Jennifer came running into the dorm room crying. We asked what was wrong and she said that Brad left her! And to make it worse, he left her for the big lipped Hufflepuff Angelina. Can you believe it?"

Sirius absentmindedly nodded his head; he wasn't really listening to her. 'Moony looked so sick today, I should make sure he's okay. But he said he was. But he says that all the time, he could've just been being stubborn.' He tuned into what Claire was saying.

"We told Jen not to go out with that singer. You know who I'm talking about, right? I think his name is Johnny Mayor or something like that. But did she listen? No. So she…"

And then he tuned out again. 'This girl can talk forever! Why did I ever believe her? But if it wasn't her then who was it?'

He made a list of possible suspects, mostly girls.

They were entering the Main Hall when Sirius thought of someone who he wouldn't mind going out with. 'Moony. Like he'd ever go out with me.'

He was stopped suddenly when Claire placed her hand on his arm. "What?"

"Put your new robe on. I want everyone to see how wonderful you look in it." She took it from his hands and held it out for him to get into. He sighed and moved into his 'lovely' gift.

"Don't you think this is a little to formal for dinner?" he asked, hoping she'd say yes.

"No."

'Shit.'

"Nothing's too formal for my Siri-kins." She smoothed it and pushed him through the big double doors.

No one noticed them at first. But as Sirius and Claire made their way down the aisle heads turned, some whispered, and others giggled.

Sirius blushed and hurried over to his friends whom he saw sitting at their table. "Hey guys," he sighed. "How was your day?" He saw the others trying to not laugh.

"Rick, Peter, and I got to know each other better," said James around a mouth full of potatoes.

"James Potter," scolded Remus, "Chew your food!"

"Hey Moony," called Sirius and Remus turned to him. "Do you like sea food?"

Remus raised an eyebrow but nodded. Sirius sticks out his tongue which had chewed up chicken on it. "See? Food!"

Remus shoved Sirius and he fell off the bench. "That's gross Sirius!" he said while laughing. The others soon joined them. Sirius climbed back onto the bench eventually and they finished eating.

--

"Hang on, guys," pleaded Sirius. The three boys turned to see Sirius' new robe stuck under the foot of the bench. Remus walked over and lifted the seat while Sirius pulled the edge.

"Better?" asked James as he looked from afar.

Sirius looked up and glared at him. "No thanks to you," he said after he stuck out his tongue.

When they entered the common Remus looked out the window. "I should get going," he whispered to the others; they all looked out the window and agreed. Remus left for the shack and the others sat by the fire, giving him and Madam Pomfrey a head start.

10 minutes later they were ready to go.

"Are you really going to wear that thing tonight?" asked Peter before they left.

Sirius looked down at what Peter was talking about and remembered the robe. He quickly took it off, "This'll just take a second." He rushed up to the dorm, threw the robe on the bed, and rushed back to the others. "Ready?" he smiled; James and Peter nodded.

"Siri-kins!" The boys halted and turned around to see Claire coming down from the girls' dormitory. "Where're you going?" She walked over to said boy and reclaimed his hand.

He rolled his eyes and turned to James and Peter. "I'll be right there. Just go without me." Peter turned and walked out but James hesitated. "Go," Sirius said persistently. James nodded and rushed out.

Claire pulled Sirius back to the couch and pulled him down with her. "So, where were you going?" she asked putting an emphasis on the word 'were' as she leaned her head on his chest.

He got that and emphasized his own word, "I am going to go do guy things with my friends. Moony went ahead of us to get ready and we were about to join him."

He looked down and saw that she was pouting, 'Does she really think that'll work?'

"Why don't you stay here with me?" she asked trying to sound seductive and failing.

"Because it's something we do every month and I wouldn't want to miss it."

"Not even for your girlfriend?"

Sirius smiled smugly, "Not even for my girlfriend." She pulled away and looked at him.

"How can you be so mean!?" She looked like she was going to cry.

He tried to look sad, "I did this last month, I'm going to do it this month, and I'm going to do it next month. As my girlfriend, can't you understand that?" He looked at her and saw the tears had disappeared.

She crossed her arms and sat back on the couch, "Whatever."

He smiled and got up. He was almost out the door when he heard Claire call out his name. He turned around and she shoved her tongue down his throat.

--

Remus was waiting in the Shrieking Shack with his hands in his pocket when he realized that the heart was missing. He was about to look around when James and Peter rushed in, "Hey guys." He looked around for the missing Marauder, "Where's Sirius?" He saw James and Peter share a glance and waited for an answer.

James was the first to speak up, "Claire needed to talk to him."

"James tried to stay but he told us to go," added Peter.

Remus was starting to get worried. Moony hadn't been very happy the past couple of days and he wasn't sure how'd the wolf would react tonight. And to top it off, Moony was never happy when his Padfoot wasn't there.

But before he could contemplate it further a sharp pain shot through his body.

A/N 2: Sirius told me that I can't finish my speech until he and Remus are happy.
S: And together!
Yes and together. So you'll all have to wait for it. The next chapter will be during the full moon. I hope it doesn't stink. X3

A/N 3: If anyone has any good ideas for revenge on Claire let me know! You have only one more chapter (besides this one) to get your ideas in!
