Remus'spov

I stayed up late finishing my homework, when I was in the middle of my essay I heard Sirius come in.

"Padfoot?" I called

"Yeah Moony?" He peaked through my curtain.

"What's up?"

He blinked and sat down.

"Not much…"

"Where did you go?" Something told me to be worried.

"The room of requirements of course, I um…needed some time alone." He was only half lying now.

"Are you sure? You're not stashing away some secret girlfriend, are you?" I said trying to sound sarcastic. He blushed. Really?

"Who is she?"

"No one." He wouldn't look at me. I was starting to get nervous.

"Sirius, you never kept them a secret before," I pointed out.

"Remus I don't have a girlfriend."

"Then what have you been doing?" His blush deepened. That good, huh?

"I can't say…"

"Is it embarrassing?"

"No."

"Angela's been missing you," I said this hoping I'd get a reaction, because I thought he liked her. He just shrugged though. Maybe he didn't then.

"Lily knows something, doesn't she?" I said purposely. I watched him closely. His eyes met mine now, searching for the truth in this.

"What?" He asked, with a slight shake in his voice.

"She knows something. She has that look to her."

He looked panicked. Hmmm interesting.

"Is it so bad you can't tell me?"

"I can't tell anyone Moony." He said gravely. What was that suppose to mean?

"Why?"

"Because I can't."

"Sirius," I said in a warning type voice.

"Please, I'm tired. Good night," and then he left. I was puzzled by his behavior but decided not to push him. He'd tell in good time, right?

Marie's pov

Angela was pouting and it was pretty cute.

"I miss when my brother would tell me stuff, now he just sneaks around doing only God knows what. I think he may be seeing someone, even though he won't admit it. At least to me," She said, with a sad look on her face.

This reminded me of Sirius, but I didn't look to much into it.

"Maybe he has his reasons, I mean you're his sister, you'd think he'd want to tell you at least a little. Maybe he's just doing something right now he thinks you wouldn't approve of or something. You never know with boys, their unpredictable," I suggested. I really hope I'm ok at giving advice.

"That's true but this is different. It's kind of scaring me. Tell me…has Sirius been acting weird, too?" She lowered her voice at the last part.

"Yes, but that's normal for him." Was I trying to convince myself more than her?

"Like how weird? Like sneaking around, being secretive weird?" She took another stab at it anyways.

I felt myself blush.

"I'll take that as a 'yes', but I wouldn't think of that since you said he was straight, and knowing his history I don't think he'd suddenly go for Matt. He's not exactly known for turning straight guys gay."

"Well he does have his good qualities…" I said without thinking. She giggled at this.

"That's what a lot of people say. Welcome to the club."

"Oh what club?" Lily interrupted, popping out of nowhere.

"The 'I think Mathew is sexy' club. The me membership is free," Angela said teasingly.

"Oh well never mind then." Angela giggled again.

"Oh wait Lily what's your opinion on how odd two certain boys are acting?" She asked.

"You mean Sirius and Matt?"

"Yes she means them, we were just talking about them," I told Lily.

"Oh well…" She blushed cutely.

"You know something?" Angela asked surprised. I was hoping she'd say it, instead of making me suffer when she obviously knew something.

"It's not my place to say," She said firmly. Damn you Lily Evans.

"Lily, please, I'm worried about my brother, I need to know."

She blushed deeper.

"Lily?" I asked.

"I won't give away Marauder secrets. I know enough of what would happen if I did."

"This is dif…" Angela tried to say.

"No, it's not different. You wouldn't tell one of your best friend's secrets if you felt it had to be kept." She really was determined, wasn't she?

"But…" She tried again.

"Marie, you know you've kept secrets and I assume you felt you had good reason."

"But I didn't, I told you…"

"I'm not talking about that."

"Oh."

"Please don't' make me tell you. If you want to known so badly ask Sirius," She said finally.

"But he wont' tell anyone what's going on," I pointed out.

"So they'll never know."

"That's not fair." I pouted.

"But it is," She was looking at me, trying to get a message to me. I didn't catch it.

"My brother isn't a Marauder secret," Angela said, obviously wanting answers bad.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

At least she was being a good friend. You had to give her credit for that.

Lily's pov

If you push, I'll pull. I refuse to tell you a secret so big, I won't betray that trust. I won't hurt a friend for your curiosity. If I die, then so be it. I at least didn't die in vain or greed. I at least still have my dignity. You'll see in the end it will all be worth it. In the end I'll still be able to smile.
