I don't own Harry Potter. I know I said this would be up yesterday but life was crazier than expected.

Sirius sat in his room at the Potter's staring out the window, a gleaming piece of metal pressed to his wrist. The blood was trickling down on to the floor leaving odd crimson patterns on the hard wood. The moon was full that night and he felt awful, the canine in him longing for its Alpha. Christmas break had just started and his body still ached from what Snape and Malfoy had put it through. He hated them but they made him forget Remus even if just for a moment.

"You asshole." James Potter found himself on his ass in a snow bank with one pissed off Peter Pettigrew on top of him.

"Hi Pete." James was confused. "Why am I an asshole?"

"You and Evans, she is still dating Remus, it'll break his heart and we have enough heartbroken friends at the moment. He's in love with her you know."

James smiled guiltily, "I know. Pete, Lily and I have a plan but in order for it to work we have to leave Remus a vulnerable mess."

"What is this plan?" Peter glared at James.

"I can't tell you because if this doesn't go the way we want it to, somebody will still have to take care of Siri and Remy and they won't want it to be me. Now come on its Christmas, were missing presents."

"Presents are good."

"Sirius can we talk?" Remus asked placing a gentle hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Talk about what Remus? I don't give a shit about how good Evans is in bed and that's all you ever want to talk about lately."

"I don't love Lily. Everyone thinks I do but I don't."

Sirius turned to gape at the boy. "What?"

"I don't love Lily, hell I don't even really like Lily. She's an extreme version of me with red hair. I don't like me, or red heads for that matter. I only started dating her because it's what everyone expected and she looked as if she was about cry."

Sirius found himself giving Remy a bear hug. Why? He didn't know but suddenly he felt as if he was walking on air. He doesn't love the bitch; maybe I still have a shot. This of course was not what the rational part of his brain was thinking but somewhere deep in his subconscious these thoughts were fluttering around and making him hope like the love stricken, fool hearted teenage boy he was. It was great. "Why haven't you dumped her then?"

Remus felt himself return Sirius' smile and barely manage to supress the urge to spin the boy around like in some cheesy, romance flick. "Because I don't know how but I was hoping you could help me with that."

"Mr. Lupin how ever do you expect me to help you dump a girl? I'm gay, no experience in girls, remember?"

"You're also the resident man-whore." Remus declared cheekily before turning serious, "I was going to tell her there was someone else and maybe try and set her up with James. He is way more suited for her than I am, if they don't kill each other first."

Sirius' face fell. "Who is this Someone Else?"

Remus placed a chaste kiss on Sirius's forehead, "That my dear friend is where you come in."

P.S. I don't think this story will be more than a few chapters longer.
