Disclaimer: I dont own any of these characters, dammit. Well, except for Brittany O'Neil, cause I just created her out of nowhere, and my cousin Brit will be happy, since she likes Sirius, too...

The Next Day...

This can't be happening. After so long, why? He promised we'd always be together. He just broke every promise he ever made to me. He promised he would never get sick of me – that I would get sick of him before he got sick of me. I wonder if he was seeing her while he was seeing me...? I wonder if it was because he wanted sex... and I wouldn't give it to him? Oh, if I could only get him back, I would.... Anything to get him back... Oh, Sirius!...

Remus was lying face up on his bed, staring at the ceiling. It was early, but not early enough that the others weren't up. James and Peter had already left for breakfast. Try as they might, they couldn't convince Remus to go.

"Come on, Moony, you need to eat something."

"No, I'm not hungry, Peter."

"Remus, come on. Why wont you go?"

"I'm not hungry, James."

But all three boys knew the real reason that he didn't want to go. Sirius had made the safe decision to not sleet in the dorm last night. Not even James and Peter had seen or heard from him since "the incident". Now Remus was just waiting for the two sympathetic Marauders to come hopping back from breakfast to try to cheer him up. Again.

--------------------------

"You know we have to talk to him eventually." James stated.

"Why?" asked Peter.

"... Because he's our friend."

"Well, he shouldn't be; after what he did to Remus."

"I know it was bad, Pete. But we can't just ignore him. Besides, he's got to come back to sleeping in our dorm sometime." James said, slightly exasperated.

"Just because he sleeps there doesn't mean we can't ignore him. We ignore plenty of people. Let's just pretend he's a Slytherin."

"Well that doesn't make an ounce of bloody sense, Pete."

"Fine. See it your way. But I'm telling you now, I won't talk to him." Peter grumped.

"All right, Wormtail, all right..." By using the nickname, James signaled that the conversation was over, and they were to move on to something less important.

By this time, the two pranksters had arrived at the Fat Lady's portrait. James said the password, (since Peter could never remember it), and they entered the common room. And what do you know, there sat a tall, black-haired youth. James sputtered and Peter looked indignant. Sirius stood and looked somewhat nervous, something rather unusual for him.

"Er- hullo, James.... Peter..." Sirius muttered.

"Hullo..." James said, not meeting Sirius' eyes. Peter was trying unsuccessfully to hold back a sneer.

"I- er- came to talk to Remus... if you would, uh..."

"What? Go up and tell him that the horrible person who had the nerve to destroy his already miserable life is here? Is that what you want us to say?" Peter growled.

Sirius' face fell.

"Peter!" James exclaimed. Peter never acted like this. Even around Slytherins, he was usually the quiet one who only shot nasty looks.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come. I'll go..." Sirius rasped, shuffling towards the door.

"No, no, it's alright, I'll go talk to Remus for a minute. Wait here," James said, heading up the stairs. He noticed Peter lagged behind, standing glaring at Sirius, who looked wary of Peter attempting to attack him. "Pete, come on. You too."

Peter sulked and followed James to the dorm.

Yay! Chapter 2! All done! Sorry my chapters are so short, I'm grounded from the computer and its slightly difficult to write a lot when you're grounded. I have vacation all this upcoming week, so expect at least one more chapter, maybe two.

Does anybody notice the violent tendencies I'm installing in Peter? I picture him with lots of pent up emotions, not just always the innocent boy. *shrug* Seems logical. Anyhoo, Please REVIEW!!!
