Chapter 11: Best Friends Forever

Hey, wasn't it you

Who's always been there for me

Don't forget what we've been through together

Hey, isn't it true

We promised to always be best friends forever

"Sirius?" Sirius looked up and saw Remus peeking through the door into their dormitory. He waved him in.

"Hey, mate." Remus walked in and sat down on his bed, then turned to face Sirius.

"James is your best friend," he began. Sirius looked away, attempting to hide the guilt he felt.

"You've been best friends for as long as I've known either of you. You're dating the love of his life," he said. Sirius sighed.

"Yeah, I know, Moony. Don't you think I realize what I'm doing is wrong? I know it's stupid!" Remus sighed.

"I didn't tell him," he said. Sirius looked over at him in surprise.

"Why?"

"He's your best mate. He deserves to hear it from you, if he's going to hear it at all."

"Argh, dammit, Remus! You're supposed to yell at me and tell me I'm a horrible person! You're supposed to tell me to just break up with her! You're supposed to tell me to tell him! Anything but be nice and understanding about it! What am I supposed to do?" He groaned and grabbed the nearest book, angrily throwing it at the wall.

"Sirius, you just answered your question! You know what you need to do! You know that you deserve to get yelled at! You know you're horrible! You know you should tell him! And you know you should break up with her! You don't need me to tell you that!" Sirius stood up, frustrated, and stalked out of the room.

"Hey, Padfoot, whoa, what's wrong with you?" James asked, stopping his friend in the corridor. Sirius growled and pushed James out of the way.

"Nothing. I'm fine, mate. Just leave me alone."

"Whoa, wait a second! What?"

"Sorry, mate. I'm just…nothing. I'll tell you later. I just need to take care of something."

"Do you want help?"

"No."

"Lily?" Sirius peeked into the small room, knowing that she'd probably be there. It was a hidden room, the door behind a large bookcase in the corner of the library. She had shown it to him a few months ago, telling him he could always find her there. She looked up from the large book in her lap and smiled.

"Hey!" She made to stand, but he gestured for her to stay where she was. He walked over to her and sat beside her, instantly reaching for her hand. He looked down. Her small, pale, and smooth hand, entwined in his large, tan, and callused one.

"Lily, we need to talk."

"Best Friends Forever" KSM

A/N Wow, so I'm pretty cruel, huh? CLIFFHANGER! Not really. Like we don't all know he's about to propose to her. And then of course, she'll say yes. They'll be secretly engaged for a while and then THEN she'll break the engagement and marry his best friend! HAHAHAHAHA! Man, that would totally suck :) Anyhoos, since I just totally ruined the rest of the story for you…JK JK I would never do that. That's not what's going to happen at all :D Also, I'm sorry this chapter is so short. It's kinda a filler chapter! I didn't even hit 500 words :(

Also, I'm posting this at the same time as I'm posting Chapter 10 and I seriously considered posting chapters 10, 11, and 12. But then I decided to be super mean and terrible and wait to post Chapter 12. Muahahahaha! Reviews?
