A/N: Back again and I fear to tell you that this fiasco only gets worse…It's more worse for Remus than for Sirius, but it's quite unfortunate for their relationship all the same. Darn those Series of Unfortunate Events books, they're giving me ideas for putting Remus and Sirius in anguish. Oh well, it makes for an interesting story so here I am writing it and it would appear as though you're reading it as well, so please do read on.
Randomness of the Moraco: Isn't it funny how time always seems to pass so quickly all the time, especially as you get older?

Chapter 7
Green Eyes

"Remus!?"
Remus, his eyes wide with fear, looked up to see his loving boyfriend Sirius Black looking down at him from above the restroom stall wall. He tried to say something but when he opened his mouth nothing came out. He then grabbed up his robe, burst out of the stall and grabbed his tie off the floor on the way out of the restroom.
Sirius attempted to get down off the toilet to chase the one he loved (despite what he had just seen), but his foot slipped into the toilet and James came tumbling down after him.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," Peter said, quickly jumping down from his spot, hanging his now green toned face over the toilet in front of him.
The next sound anyone heard was that of Peter literally loosing his breakfast.
Sirius tried to get up from off the floor, but he couldn't move. "My foot!"
"What's wrong with your foot?" James asked.
"It's stuck!"
James finally managed to stand up and noticed that Sirius was not joking. James chuckled at his best friend.
"Prongs, this is neither the time nor the place," Sirius said looking up from the floor where he was unable to stand because of his foot being stuck down the toilet.
"I'd rather have a wet foot than a bruised tailbone," James told him.
"Yeah I guess. Peter doesn't sound so good himself."
"Well, let's try to get you out. I think we can get out of classes today on technical defaults," James said.

Lily stood outside the restroom door waiting for the boys to do whatever they were going to do when she suddenly overheard a voice that was unmistakably Sirius' yell.
"Remus!?"
Lily looked at the door which quickly soon after burst open with a partially clothes Remus running out of it.
"Remus!?" she said, with a tone mocking that of Sirius'. She quickly ran after her friend yelling all the way to Gryffindor Tower where she followed him all the way up the stairs to the boys dormitory where she tried to open the door but couldn't, for Remus was forcing himself against it so nobody could enter.
"Go away!"
"No! I'm not going anywhere Remie, until I find out what happened," Lily protested.
"You can't know!"
"What's wrong with you Remie? You've always told me everything about what was bothering you, and then suddenly today you've shut yourself off from me," she said. "It's like your this entirely other person I know nothing about."
"You can never know what you don't know about me," he said a bit more calmly. "Just go, and leave me alone."
"No, Remus. I'm going to stay right here until you open this door and let me in."
The door cracked open, just enough space for Lily to fit through. "Have it your way," she heard him whisper.
Lily went in and closed the door behind her. Remus was just standing in the middle of the room crying. He hadn't done anything to his appearance since he had fled from the boys restroom. His shirt was still unbuttoned and hanging off only one arm, showing the pale, scarred flesh that hid from the world. Lily had never seen her friend like this. Sure she's always thought it was strange that he covered up like and Eskimo year round, but she just thought it was one of his quirks. She didn't know he was actually 'covering something up'.
"Remie… what- what happened?"
"I kissed him," he whispered.
"Who?"
"Severus."
Lily gasped. "What happened?"
"He was threatening me and then for some reason…."
"Why did you kiss him? And what in the world were you planning on doing, considering your half clothed?"
Remus turned around and faced her and lifted his arms in the air. "I don't know," he said. "It was just an impulsive thing. I don't know why I kissed him but after I did I was at least happy he didn't shove my head down the toilet."
"Remie what's happened to you? You've never acted like this before," she said.
"I had no idea he felt the same way until last night! I didn't even think he still felt it." Remus pulled his shirt off the arm it was hanging on and threw it onto the floor yelling, "How could I be so stupid!?" He went over to his bed and lied down head down into the pillow.
Lily walked over and sat down beside him as he sobbed into the pillow, stroking his back for comfort. "Remus?"
"Yes?" he mumbled.
"Where one earth did you ever get all these scars?"
He turned his head to look up at her to speak, "I can't tell you."
"There seems to be quite a bit you can't tell me lately," she said.
Remus turned over and sat up. "You wouldn't understand,"
Lily lifted Remus' chin to where she could look into his eyes, which were still red and puffy from the crying he'd been doing. "What wouldn't I understand Remie? I'm one of your best friends, or at least I thought I was."
Remus inched his face closer to Lily's. "Has anyone ever told you, you have the most amazing green eyes?" He then gave Lily and quick chaste kiss. "And the softest lips."
"Re-" She was unable to finish her sentence, for Remus had grabbed her into a deep kiss that she protested against by trying to push him away. She finally succeeded in pushing him off and gaped at him. "Remus Lupin! What has gotten into you?"
"I'm depressed. I'm in a state of shock. I need comfort. Hasn't that bisexual boyfriend of yours ever told you that kissing is the most comforting thing you can do for someone when they're in a mental state such as mine?"
Lily got up off the bed and began to back away. "What are you talking about?"
Remus got up and walked towards her. "Oh he never told you about his fiascos with both Sirius and me? Or is it that he never told you that was bisexual?"
"James is perfectly heterosexual!"
"Then what's he doing going around and kissing his best friends?"
Lily's face was red with anger. Almost as red as the hair atop her head. In her fury, she balled her hand into and fist and punched Remus as hard as she could. He feel to the floor with a bleeding nose and blood slowly oozing out the side of his mouth. He didn't move and his eyes were shut. He'd passed out from the blow. Lily's eyes widened at the site of what she'd just done and on impulse she ran as fast as she could and went to her class that she would have been late for had she left any later.
Remus Lupin's pale body lay shirtless, passed out on the floor of the boys dormitory staining it with blood from his nose and mouth.

A/N: Please don't ask me why Remus is turning into such a jerk cause I'm not really sure yet myself, but I will soon find an explanation to cure your curiosity, but I thought there should be just a bit of a darker side to him and his attitude. I mean every rainbow does have its black side. It's just hiding it from the world.
