Peter found his friends in their dormitory—James on the floor, still looking shocked, Remus looking pale with embarrassment on his bed. Sirius was standing against the wall, glancing from James to Remus and back. Teddy too looked uncomfortable in this silence.

Peter bit his lip when Sirius looked at him. He shook his head and said, "Does someone want to tell me what's going on?"

Everyone looked at Remus. Slowly, he raised his head.

"We didn't want to tell you," he began quietly, "because we were afraid of how you'd take it. Specifically you, James. Lily was all for going public, but I didn't want to risk my friendship with you, and she respected that."

It was silent for a moment before James whispered in a hoarse voice, "When?"

"Last year," Remus closed his eyes, letting the memories wash over him. "I found her in the kitchens eating chocolate éclairs—"

"Her favorite snack," the five boys chorused; James had told them numerous times, as well as Lily herself.

"—and everything sort of fell into place. She broke up with me about a month later because she was tired of the secrets." Remus couldn't bring himself to tell the truth; that he had broken up with Lily because he felt like he was betraying James.

The room was quiet once more. Teddy's brain was spinning. He felt like it was his fault all this had happened. Why did Lily have to have feelings for him? If she knew the truth—where Teddy was from… Teddy grimaced at the thought. She would have been repulsed that she had sex with his dad…

"Do you hate me, James?" Remus's eyes were begging.

The two boys looked at each other, while the others glanced at them.

After a moment, James smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "'Course not."

Remus grinned and stood up to hug James.

"I hate to ruin this love session, but we have more pressing matters at hand," Sirius said seriously.

His roommates cast him quizzical looks. "What do you mean?"

Sirius laughed darkly. "We have Snivellus to get back at."

An FYI: This chapter and the one before it has a slight reference back to HorcruxFinder's fic "Wicked Lovely." If you read/read it, you'll know what I'm talking about. And I think you should, because it's an amazing story anyway. -SunnyDropped
