One-shot of Remus' reaction to finding out what Sirius did to Snape
"-you incompetent, idiotic-" Remus just seemed to keep going. There really wasn't an end in sight, and the longer he went, the angrier Sirius got. At first he had seemed to think Remus being angry was funny, that had passed after the shouting had begun.
After he seemed to have run out of insults, and began circling back into repeating a few of them, Sirius finally cut him off by snapping, "What are you still yelling for? So I screwed up, you're not the one in trouble with every teacher in this school are you! Would you just let it go!"
Remus went bug-eyed, his mouth gaping open in shock as he spluttered, "You think I'm mad because I could have gotten in trouble. Sirius, I could have killed him, and you don't care!"
Sirius opened and then closed his mouth for a moment, before shaking his head in disbelief. "Really Moony, don't you think you're exaggerating just a bit?"
"Okay you two," Peter finally cut in, his eyes flickering between the pair, "perhaps we can pick this up again when we're all a bit calmer."
"Don't bother," Remus snapped, glaring at Sirius with the darkest eyes either of them had ever seen, "now I know there's no point."
He turned his back on him and began making his way up to the dormitory, leaving the two of them in the empty common room.
Sirius gave the stairs one more fiery look before flouncing into an armchair and grumbling, "Can you believe those two? First James, now him-"
Peter hesitated, his eyes ghosting between his ruffled friend and the empty staircase, before he whispered, "Do you really not care what you did? What you could have done."
"Not you to!" he exploded out of the chair as loudly as the words that had escaped. The pent up rage he had contained while Remus yelled at him washed over Peter now; "How about I blame you for this stupid mess! You didn't have to go telling James, and then Remus! What was the good of telling them I sent Snape down there?"
"So you'd have rather I hid that from them? Lied?" Peter demanded right back.
Sirius hesitated for only a moment, but it was enough. Peter shook his head in disgust, then he to made his way up the stairs, leaving Sirius more alone in that moment than he had been in his life.
Sorry for the delays on this, can promise to have the next one up sooner.
