Chapter Twenty Six: You Have No Right.
'Urgh. How could she be so stupid?', thought Sirius as everything mentally clicked into place.
"Look Lily, I know you won't believe me so just come with me", said Sirius in the calmest tone possible, though - inside - he was enraged.
Lily nodded, she had no words that could describe what she wanted to say. She kept her silence as she followed Sirius, lower and lower they went, until they arrived in a corridor with a dead end.
Rolling her eyes slightly, Lily began to doubt Sirius' sincerity. However, her doubt was quickly replaced by confusion as Sirius rhythmically tapped a stack of barrels. This caused the barrels to move and Sirius crawled through the passage revealed: Lily followed him eagerly.
The room was warm and comforting, if not slightly overwhelming. Lily was certain Severus would describe the room as 'hiddious' or 'repulsive'. The sheer amount of yellow and copper was burnt into Lily's eyes, permanently.
"Oi! Adelaide!", Sirius screamed, "You have gone too far this time!". Lily watched as the docile environment was shaken by Sirius' presence. Many students gawped at him whilst others contemplated getting rid of him, though ultimately deciding to just watch the show.
A small, blond haired girl descended one of the nearby staircases with an undeniable amount of elegance. She gracefully sat in a nearby armchair and looked up with her wide - if not vacant -violet eyes. "What is it, Sirius?", she asked sweetly.
"Why did you do that to those muffins?", Sirius said fiercely, "Why did you dope Remus and I?".
No reply.
"How could you mess with my feelings like that?", Sirius looked as if he was about to break into a thousand tiny pieces, "How could you betray my trust?".
"It was for your own good", her eyes widened further. "Nothing can stand in the way of true love, I just needed to give it a shove in the right direction", she giggled without any hesitation and awaited Sirius' response.
"You make no sense. You have no right to mess with my feelings, our feelings. I barely know the poor boy and - even if I did like him", Sirius looked at Lily sharply, "I would never take advantage of him like that".
"I had good intentions!", she erupted into more nervous giggles, "I wanted you to be happy. I wanted you to feel loved!".
"Stop laughing at me!", Sirius snapped, "Why are you acting like a control freak?". He felt all his anger at everyone redirect itself to her, "You can't just choose what is right and what is wrong and make decisions for people! We are people: not pieces of a sick game of chess! Why can't you see that?".
"I am sorry", cried Adelaide, "I didn't mean to make you sad... I just wanted you to be happy. I want to make everyone happy, and I always get it wrong!".
"Oh, Allgood... It isn't up to us to make other people happy. Sometimes the only person who can make them happy is themselves. Being sad is ok too", Lily said sadly. She could see exactly how Adelaide felt. Lily knew what it was like to want to make someone happy, only for then to be angry. "Please don't cry. I'm sure Sirius understands you weren't being mean".
"How can I tell Remus?", Sirius remarked flatly.
"Don't worry Sirius, I'm sure he will understand", Lily said and, knowing when enough has been said, she led him back to Gryffindor Tower in reflective silence.

I hope you guys are not disappointed in the outcome. I wanted to lead you to assume the person who gave Remus a love potion was a main character with bad intentions, only for it to be revealed that it was an entirely new character who didn't realise what they did was wrong.
Originally, I briefly considered Sirius but then realised it's too soon, and (honestly) he's just not smart enough. Instead, he is also under a love potion that attaches him to Remus. Basically, Adelaide is Wolfstar shipping lol.
How do you think Remus will react?
Thank you guys! I wouldn't be here without your support!
