James Potter woke up with a pillow pressed hard against his face,

"Mmmhphaanmnurfff" James' shouts were heavily muffled by the pillow. After flailing for some time James managed to throw the pillow off. His eyes strained to see his attacker. Over him loomed Remus Lupin.

"WHAT THE HELL MOONY?" James yelled, gasping from his recent near suffocation. In response Remus threw the pillow at him. It hurt.

"You had it coming." Remus snarled as he watched his friend clutching his nose.

"What?" James(the poor dear) was utterly confused.

"What do you think?" James just stared. "You know, turning me into a girl."

"I don't think that that's enough to kill me over!"

"Then how about the cows?"

"…What cows?" James' eyebrows knitted together, trying to figure out what Remus was talking about. Remus plopped down on the bed, his head in his hands.

"Oh! You mean the mooing thing. That was ages ago."

"Right, of course." Remus muttered. "And I wouldn't have actually killed you…"

"I was just about dead when I pushed you off!" James scooted further away from Remus, so far in fact that he scooted right off the bed.

"Just about I would have let go. Promise." Remus didn't even make a move to help James up. James snorted as he pulled himself to his feet.

"So, Moony, what's up?"

Remus shook his head. The last thing he needed was for James to know that he had indirectly called Sirius cute.

"Spill it." James demanded. Remus didn't say a thing. James stared at him. Not a word from Remus.

"Fine. I'll guess. Was it…missing classes? Was it food, 'cause that's been getting to me too, and I might let you off the hook for attempted murder. How about using the toilet? It does take forever now. Hmm…" James wrinkled his face in disgust; probably at whatever it was he was thinking. Something that he would soon share with Remus. "No! It couldn't be! You're not…it…no you…are you…" Remus stared blankly at him. "Are you…going through…that thing? The one that makes Lily grumpy? I mean even grumpier then she is for the other weeks of the month? Are you…PMSing…? Or is it the full moon? Sirius?" At this point James noticed the look on Remus' face. James knew he'd guessed right. But which guess had been right? One of the last three. He figured he'd restate them.

"Are you PMSing?" He was kinda dreading the answer.

"No! And I certainly hope I won't, because if I do I will kill you." That hadn't been it. Two more to try.

"The full moon? I can see why that would worry you, but I'll still transform with you, and try and keep the other two away."

"The full moon isn't going to be any fun, but then again, when is it?" James nodded in agreement, trying not to smile, he'd solved the mystery!

"So then, you met Sirius." It wasn't a question. Remus paled. And it was then that James realized he had not solved the mystery, he'd just dragged more questions up.

"What did he say? What did you say? What was said?" He grabbed Remus and shook him wildly.

"Let go!" Remus shoved James off, who, for the second time this evening, found himself on the floor.

"Ow!" James shirked, Remus kicked him, if Sirius heard noise he'd come to check it out. He'd be doomed. James clambered back onto the bed, then he remembered Remus' earlier comment: 'Then how about the cows?'

"Did he bring up the mooing?" James' eyes widened. If Sirius brought that up then maybe he'd figured everything out. Remus shook his head.

"I did. Sorta…I said a cow sat…" He shook his head again, this time harder. He was not going to tell James. No way!

"A cow sat? How does that lead to you trying to kill me? Girls make no sense!"

"I was not going to kill you…all the way…And I am not a girl!" It scared Remus that James was actually starting to think of him as a girl. A real girl. Not a…fake one.

"Still though…" James really didn't understand. It downed on him that maybe Remus wasn't telling him everything. So he asked something new.

"The cow sat…on what?" Remus looked away.

"It doesn't matter. Listen, I'm sorry I almost killed you. It won't happen again. I swear."

"I dunno if I can believe you. I might have to tell Lily I have a murderous suppose to be friend trying to kill me. She'll probably let me sleep with her." He was not joking.

"Don't you dare. It would mess everything up. More." James grinned at him.

"You can't help who you fall in love with. I guess you wouldn't understand, little Moony's never been in love."

"You're right. I wouldn't even know I was in love it hit me in the face." Sad. But true. James laughed, nodding his agreement.

"It's great though. You really ought to try it sometime. All you want is to be by that person. All you can think about is her…" James trailed off, thinking of Lily most likely. But that description sounded familiar. Wanting to be by that person, only thinking about that person, letting it slip that you thought they were sweet or cute, enjoying their kisses. Sirius. For Remus Sirius was the object of all of those things. As much as he hated to admit it he had liked the kiss from Sirius more than from the girl during truth or dare. And he never liked it when Sirius flirted with girls, actually it was usually girls flirting with Sirius, he only went after girls he really wanted.

"No. No. No. NO!" Remus face planted into the pillows.

"What?" James was staring at him.

There was just no way that he was in love with Sirius. No way! At all. He needed to get the thought out of his mind. He sat up and looked at James.

"To make up for the pillow thing how about I talk with Lily? I think I know what I could say to make you look good." James stared at him in confusion for a bit, then his face split in to a huge grin.

"You'd do that? Really? You think she'll like me more?"

"Yes, yes, and I think." Remus smiled, helping James might just keep his thoughts away from…that person.

"Back to the couch." Remus said, pushing James off the bed. And again James felt his butt connect with the floor. Remus grinned then collapsed backwards; he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
