A/N: I'm back again and this time I didn't have any homework, so I got to sit around and do some writing not having to worry about needing to do something else. Boy that last chapter was interesting wasn't it? Well I don't care if you thought it was or not cause I thought it was and I wrote it for bloody sakes.
Randomness of the Moraco: I never get tired of this song: "Hard To Explain" by The Strokes. I listen to it every time and minute and second that I write this story, and the idea spawned while listening to this song which is why the story is named Hard To Explain.

Kept Secrets Revealed

Later Remus left the library and went back to the dormitory to find his fellow Marauders sleeping. He changed into his pajamas as silently as he could and then went over to Sirius' bed and pulled back on of the curtains to see the other boy, who was still awake and now staring at him.
"Welcome back Moony," Sirius whispered. His face was stern and his usual smile wasn't at all apparent.
Remus crawled into the bed beside him, put his arms around Sirius and snuggled into his chest. "Go to sleep Padfoot. We'll talk in the morning, I promise." He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Sirius sighed, wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, holding him tightly, and fell off into the land of slumber himself.

The next morning the Marauders awoke and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
"Remus?"
"Yes Sirius?"
"You said we'd talk this morning," Sirius said.
Lily looked up from her breakfast at Remus and Sirius. "What's going on?"
"Trouble in paradise," James muttered.
Remus looked over to Lily, "Could I talk to you for alone for a minute Lil?"
"Sure."
Remus got up from the table and so did Lily. Remus turned to Sirius and said, "I'm sorry for slapping you, and I still need to talk to you about something else later."
Sirius nodded as his boyfriend and best friend's girlfriend left the Great Hall.
"If I didn't know any better sometimes I'd swear those two were cheating on us with each other," James said.
Sirius chuckled. "I know what you mean."
"Wonder what he wants to talk to you about," James said.
"It would seem as though Lily's going to know before me."
"Hmmm, wonder where the git is this morning," Peter commented.
"What?" James and Sirius both looked at him quizzically.
"Snape. He's not here this morning, which completely ruins our food fight plan."
"Curious," Sirius said.

"What happened Remus? You've go to tell me!"
"If I wasn't going to tell you I wouldn't be talking to you," he said.
"Well what happened?"
"Last night we were sitting around the dormitory and I'd been sort of moping around since potions because of Severus."
Lily shuddered at the mention of the other boy's name. "I wouldn't worry about him if I were you."
"We were starting to become friends, acquaintances at least, and then Siri-"
"What? What did he do?"
"Never mind what he did. Let's just say that thanks to him Severus knows something about me that he shouldn't. And ever since potions yesterday he completely tried to dissociate himself from me," he explained.
"I wouldn't worry my head about it, Remie," she said.
"Oh it gets worse. Sirus confronted me about my moping and kept calling him a slimy greasy haired git and at that moment it made me angry so I slapped him and ran off to the library."
"Well, you apologized for the slapping so what is this that you're going to talk to Sirius about later?"
"I found Severus in the library last night. I asked him why he'd been treating me the way he had and supposedly he's in love with me, or was," Remus told her.
Lily's eyes were wide as that of an owl's. "Just the thought of Snape being in love with someone I'm as fond of as you makes me want to puke!"
"You puking is such a lovely image."
"Why are you even worried about something like this?"
"There's something that I never told you. Before Sirius and I got together, back when I swore to myself he'd never feel the same way about me, I had some feelings for Severus."
"WHAT?!"
"That's why I still care about what he thinks about me," Remus admitted. "At the time we'd just started talking after being partnered up in potions, and he's not the slimy git everyone thinks he is, and he's got that dark and mysterious quality to him as well."
Lilly knocked her fist on Remus' head, "Knock, knock, what happened to my Remus? The Remus that's in love with and going out with Sirius Black."
Remus chuckled a bit. "Nothing happened. It's just ever since Severus said that last night, my feelings for him are starting to resurface, even though I don't intend on acting on them. I mean, I do love Sirius and hope to spend the rest of my life with him."
"Please tell me that when you tell Sirius about this, that you'll leave out the part about resurfacing feelings for Snape," Lily said.
"You're right. It would just make him even more jealous, than he was when he told Severus about the shack."
"The what?"
Remus stiffened, realizing that he'd said something that he shouldn't have considering that Lily was the only one of his circle of best friends who didn't know about his lycanthropy. Even though he had a certain bond with the girl, he'd decided that such a thing would either scare or fascinate her too much. He'd rather not have her run away from him screaming, or having her trying to get him to take of his clothes so she could do a further examination of a real werewolf.
"N-nothing. I s-said nothing," Remus stuttered.

A/N: Poor Remus and his big mouth….Poor Lily for the torture she's going through…this was a rather odd chapter I guess in my opinion. If you would please, since I'd like to hear your thoughts, review.
