Here's the next chapter. It's kind of short, but I already have the next one written, so I'll be uploading it soon. : D

Disclaimer and warnings same as always.

I woke up to the smell of the potions in the hospital wing. I stretched with a yawn, noticing the empty space next to me. I sat up, and looked around. I saw Remus sitting on the window ledge.

"Good morning," I said brightly to him. He looked up, nodded, and looked back out the window.

I frowned, but before I could ask him what was wrong, Madame Pomfrey came out to check us over. I decided to talk to him about it later.

After being released from the hospital wing, Remus and I went to our classes, but I could still tell something was wrong. He didn't talk to me as we walked to Defense together.

The day went on, and Remus stayed distant with all of us. I couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but as the week went on, Remus was quieter than normal, and he often went off alone. He took the map with him, I noticed one day to my annoyance, as I tried to look for it. I tried talking to him a few times, but each time he pushed me away. So that's where I stayed.

At breakfast, almost a week after the full moon, I sat down moodily after Remus had 1) come down early for breakfast and 2) left without a word after the rest of us showed up.

I stabbed angrily at my food.

"Maybe you should try talking to him again," James suggested, looking at the great hall door as it swung shut behind Remus.

"I've tried! I don't know what I did, or if it was even me," I replied desperately.

James made a thoughtful face.

"I wish he would just talk to one of us. We've been his friends for how long, and we've been together-" I froze, fork halfway to my mouth. "Oh bloody hell! I can't believe I forgot! How could I be so bloody stupid?" I said, slamming my fork down on the table. My pumpkin juice wobbled ominously, and a few of the first years sitting near us scooted away down the bench.

"What did you forget?" James asked, bemused.

I forgot! I forgot our one year anniversary! No wonder he's so mad at me. I'm mad at me. I need to do something special for him. Lily, you've got to help me." I pleaded, turning my eyes to her where she sat next to James.

Lily smiled. "Ok, so here's what we're going to do…"

I smiled in triumph when I found the map, well hidden in Remus' trunk.

"Haha, Got you!" I exclaimed, tapping the map enthusiastically with my want. I easily located the small dot labeled 'Remus' sitting in the library.

With one more glance in the mirror, I hurried down the stairs and out the portrait hole.

I found Remus sitting in a secluded section of the library, pouring over a piece of homework or another. I walked over slowly.

"Sirius," Remus sighed, as I stepped closer.

"Look, I know you're upset, but come with me. Let's go. We need to talk."

He sighed again, but gathered all his stuff together slowly. I helped him put all his things into his bag, and swung it over my shoulder, ignoring his protest that he could carry it himself.

I grabbed his hand and led him away from the library. He lagged behind me, and I'm sure if I hadn't been pulling him with me, he would have turned around. It was quiet between us, just the sounds of the other students behind me other than his soft footfalls.

I led him to the room of requirements. I paced back and forth in front of the blank wall. He watched blankly, arms crossed over his chest.

The door appeared, and I pulled Remus in as I flung it open.

Remus' Point of View

"Sirius, what is all this?" I asked, looking in awe at all the decorations.

The room was dimly lit. Candles floated harmlessly over head. There was a small round table in the middle of the room, set for two. Rose petals littered about the room. Music played from seemingly nowhere.

Sirius looked proud of himself. "Well, I figured out why you were mad at me."

"Sirius, I wasn't-" I started, but he waved me off, and kept explaining.

"I really didn't mean to forget. It's just with the full moon, and falling off a cliff, yeah that would do it."

"Sirius, what are-" I began, confused.

"Happy anniversary," He said, pulling me closer to him.

Our anniversary. I'd forgotten all about that. Our one year anniversary. He'd done all this for me, while I'd been sulking and trying to think of a way to break it off. Tears welled in my eyes.

Sirius looked at me. "What's wrong Rem?"

I shook my head frantically. I didn't deserve this. I didn't deserve him. After ignoring him for almost a week, he thinks it's something he's done, and sets this up for me. He deserves so much better.

"Remus? Did I do something wrong?" Sirius asked, and I laughed at the irony. It sounded almost deranged.

"Sirius, I can't…" I started, and the tears started again. "God dammit Sirius, I can't do this anymore. " I said, and it came out harsher than I had meant for it to.

"What in the world are you talking about?" Sirius asked, but I think realization was coming to him, because his hands went limp on my arms.

"I can't be with you…. Not now. Not ever." I said through my teeth, trying to get it out fast enough, before I lost my nerve. I dug my nails into my hand to try and keep the tears from spilling over any more than they already were.

The acute pain that flashed across his face caused a violent, physical pain to stab through my already aching heart. "What are you talking about Remus? What did I do? Just tell me, we can fix this. I'll do anything just… don't leave me." He said, desperately, pleadingly.

I dug my nails into my palm deeper. "No we can't fix it. There's nothing you can do. It's just… not working anymore."

"But Rem, I lov-"

"Don't say it!" I said forcefully. He shrank away from me, sinking into a chair. Tears were swimming in his eyes. He rested his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands. He thread his fingers in his hair. I couldn't take this.

"Sirius," I said weakly.

"Just go," He said, voice shaking.

"But," I started quietly.

"Just LEAVE!" He yelled, curling even more into himself.

So I did. I ran, sobbing as I did so. He's never yelled at me before. Not like that.

I hurt him again. But it was over, and I wouldn't be able to hurt him anymore. I'd done what I had to. It was for his own good in the end. In the end.

So, hope you guys liked it. Thanks for reading. : D
