A/N Sirius POV cause why not :p

I'm not quite sure how she got Lily to come. But it happened. James was completely and utterly useless tonight because of it. He was trying to impress her with facts that she probably already knew. I watched Aurora from behind. Remus was talking as he does when he's nervous. "isn't that weird?" Katelyn took my attention away.

"I'm going to be honest I didn't hear a word you said" no sense in lying.

She pouted and latched onto my arm more. "I said, it's sad that Remus is talking about astronomy with her. She knows all about the topic." she started. "and before you even ask how I know. Remember when I told you Annelise was trying to copy my Homework for that class?" I just nodded like I knew what she was talking about. "Well, After I told her no, She went to Aurora. Turns out. Aurora is getting an O in the class. Somehow, Annelise bullied Aurora-"

"She bullied Aurora?"

"Oh my god yes, Sirius keep up." she paused trying to remember where she left off. "Anyways. She bullied her into these study sessions on Thursday's during her free time in the library and I'm not even invited. We're like best friends Sirius. It's not fair... Why can't she help me?" Katelyn whined to me some more as if I could do anything about it. "I'm sure If you ask her nicely, she'd help you. She's a very helpful person." I half-attempted to make her feel better. "Wait, was the weird part?" I questioned.

"Ugh, Sirius! Pay attention! If Aurora is getting an O in Astronomy why are Remus and Aurora acting like She doesn't know everything in the sky and it's story and what not." She groaned at my obliviousness. "The only reason I can think of is that they don't actually spend time together. Like they're just friends?" Katelyn trailed off on some sort of explanation or tangent about those two. But all I could think about was them just being friends.

I thought more on this, they did just seem like friends. She's from America and in America, they casually kiss their friends on the cheek right? Makes sense. They barely do anything of that sort and it's always her doing it.

Is Remus even interested in her? I mean look at him. He's clearly nervous. They aren't even holding hands. If he really wanted her, he'd just take her right? He'd be assertive? Would he though?

"Sirius!" James said as he snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Oh man, thought we lost you. I didn't know how I was going to explain to Mum about your sudden death." he joked. "Not to worry old pal, I am still here" I patted him on the shoulder. It was at this moment I realized we were in the shrieking shack.

"So, How did you convince Lily here to join our little boring adventure," I asked Aurora who simply shrugged. "I just asked and she said yes."

"I'll have you know I came because someone needs to make sure no one gets in trouble or hurt" she attempted to explain herself which it seems like most people bought. I knew better and it seems Aurora knew better too from the look on her face. Katelyn pulled me into the living room where we took a seat on the couch which, due to a recent full moon, wasn't as dusty as you would think.

"I can taste the dust" Katelyn complained as per usual. "Think of it more of as a seasoning for the air." Aurora said as she took a big whiff in and started to cough "Nothing like air seasoning." she barely got out through coughs. I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

When she didn't stop coughing, I watched as a minor panic came over her face as she rushed out the room only to be followed by Remus.

"She'll be fine." James casually said as he placed his arm around Lily's shoulder as they sat on the love seat. I felt Katelyn move a bit closer. "You know what could be fun?" she smirked as she ran her fingers up my chest. I internally groaned. "What could be fun?" I questioned.

"If we-" she was interrupted by her own panic scream. "RAT" she continued as she immediately stood up on the couch to get as far away from it as possible. I watched as Lily just slowly moved her feet off the ground and James just start laughing like he's never laughed before.

It was Peter in his animagus form.

"Don't worry dears! I, Sirius Black. The Noble Knight will save you for this treacherous beast!" I really milked it on how great I was because I am. I dove onto him who just squirmed away out the door, I scrambled out the door in a haste chase of Peter, only to just watch him sneak out the front door.

Peter unintentionally lead me where she and Remus ran off too. The front door was only just a smidge. Typically it would be boarded shut but I recall last full moon was particularly tough for Remus. Dumbledore would have to start enchanting this location for this reason.

I moved against the wall looking the crack between the door frame and the actual door. The moon was shining just enough to see Aurora. She was leaning up against the porch railing. They were talking but I was too focused on Aurora to pay any attention.

I watched the body signals, Aurora went from a pretty open position, arms on her side resting her palms on the railing behind her. I could just barely see her bit her lip and push her hair out of her face. She was clearly looking for something. Something romantic, something she wanted Remus to initiate. I've known Remus for a long time and he was not one of those people to take initiative in a romantic situation. He's had other girlfriends before sure. They all seem to fizzle out before anything could happen.

"Remus," she said as she reached her hand to him. My guess to caress his face. The way she spoke was almost a yearning like. It also felt like she wasn't too confident either.

At this moment I realized I had been joined by James and Lily in fact. I looked at them and Lily looked back at me with her finger pressed to her lips. Shushing me. I had been there before them! I should be shushing them.

I looked back at Aurora. I must have missed something because she looked awful guarded now. Her hand crossed in front of her. She didn't look particularly fowl from what I could see of her face. She looked sad… no disappointed.

She leaned forward almost to leave. She didn't get far though. I watched as Remus, in one quick motion. Step forward to stop her, his body basically pressing against her. His hand had slid up to her cheek, cupping it so gingerly. It was hard to make out what exactly was happening after this point.

"He's kissing her" whispered Lily in the most 'squee' like voice I'd ever heard her do. I looked down at her before looking back at Aurora. I watched them as they stumbled backward against the porch railing, I watched as her arms reached above and wrapped around his neck causing him to move closer. I longer I watched the deeper my stomach sank but I could not look away. I felt an anger boiling, an anger that I didn't have the right to have.

I was envious.

I could feel myself becoming bitter about this.

"Wooh! You go, Remus!" James shouted before the door suddenly shut. "Well, that was rude," he added as he got up from his seated position. "I'm going to look for another view!" James joked as he halfheartedly jogged to the next room.

I guess It wasn't that big of a problem because they never really acted like a couple before this time. Peck on the cheek once, twice at most but isn't that what girls do with their friends? I've seen Lily do that a once or twice before with Katelyn when they were parting ways. I could have any girl in this school if I wanted. I could easily have her. Easily. She'd happily leave him for me.

Remus is my best mate. Why would I ever think of doing such a thing? She's just a girl. There are hundreds of them here. She makes Remus happy and that is all that matters. One of my Best Mates happiness. She isn't that special anyways but the more I thought about it. My stomach started to turn. This pit appeared in my stomach. It simultaneously felt like my stomach had a pit in it but always was up in my throat. Something I don't ever recall feeling before. It was rather interesting.

"Be careful Sirius." Lily drew me from my thoughts. "Your emotions are showing." she snickered before leaving, revealing Katelyn behind her. From the way Katelyn looked, She had to have been in my mind. But there wasn't any way she knew exactly what I was thinking. Unless she read minds.

"The rat got away from me. Sorry Sweets." I attempted to play it off but she had that suspicious look about her. "How about we leave these two lovebirds alone," I said as I wrapped my arm around her, guiding her away. It was the only time I'd be thankful Katelyn was here.

Gave me a reason to leave.
