THE DEVIL WITH AN
ANGEL'S FACE
Chapter 13: Remus is..gay?
By: littlebit
DISCLAIMER: you're on the 13th chapter, you should know by now what's hers and what's mine
I had noticed that Remus had been away a lot. Once a month to be exact. I knew his mother was sick and that some of his relatives had died, but still. Once every month? And now Peter had started to disappear too.
Remus and I had become pretty good friends and we had told each other a lot of stuff. But what was he hiding? Was I just nosy or did I have a right to know?
I sighed, grabbed my bag and walked out of the library.
'Come on...' 'Stop it, not so hard!' 'Sorry, so move!' Remus' and Peter's voices floated towards me. What were they doing?
They came stumbling out of a secret passage way behind a mirror that I hadn't known about. They stopped when they saw me. I raised my eyebrows.
'Uh, Lily. Hi. We were just...uh...' Remus trailed off, looking at Peter.
'Yeah, we were just...talking,' Peter finished lamely.
'I didn't ask,' I said, walking away.

Later that night as I sat by the fire (all four of the boys had seemed to disappear). And suddenly I realised it. Remus was gay! It made perfect sense. Remus and Peter must just be sneaking off once a month to...have fun. And James and Sirius seemed to be helping them hide it. Why couldn't they just tell me? I thought I was Remus' friend.
I waited for them to return that night, but they never did. At about 4 in the morning I stumbled up to my dormitory, and went to bed.
In the morning I woke up and went downstairs. My favourite two people were waiting for me.
'Hey Lils!,' James said coming over to me and wrapping me in a big hug.
'I want some too!' Sirius whined.
James pulled me into his lap. Then he yawned. Sirius and James looked really tired. They had bags under their eyes and looked like they just wanted to crawl back into bed.
'Late night?' I asked, hoping that he wouldn't lie to me.
'Sort of, we went up to the dormitory really early. We talked a lot.' With a look of pain in his eyes.
I knew he was lying, I could see it. I had check the dormitory before I had gone to my own bed. I got up from his lap. 'Sure you did,' I said in a sarcastic voice. Then I walked out of the common room.
I went to lunch by myself, with James and Sirius sitting a little way away, mumbling to each other and giving me shady, guilty looks.
I sighed, and left the Great Hall. Walking towards the Gryffindor common room I changed my mind and went to "my" room in the library. I sat there for hours and just thought about everything. After the sun went down, I fell asleep.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I woke up in my bed. Damn James. After awhile I went downstairs. It was early, the sun was just rising. And sitting in one of the chairs was Remus.
'Where's Peter?' Remus jumped. Then he smiled. 'Haven't seen you around lately,' I continued.
'Yeah, well, my mum...' he said.
'Remus,' I sat down. 'I know.'
'What?' Remus said looking alarmed. 'You know what?'
'Look, it's ok. You shouldn't have to hide it. It's who you are.'
'But Lily, how, when, what? I mean, it's not that easy.'
'Of course it is. I figured it out. It won't be long before everyone else does too.'
His eyes got bigger. I went on. 'So you should just everyone. Don't keep it bottled up. At least say it out loud. Just to hear it yourself. To get a feel for the words.'
He took a deep breath. 'Ok, Lily, you're right. I'm a werewolf.'
Littlebit:Yeah, yeah, stupid, but whatever. The next chapter will be a continuation of this one. And just so you know (I don't want to get any unnecessary flames) I have no problem with people who are gay or bi. Anyway, thanx for the reviews.. Ciao
