AN- Weeeee! I think this is MUCH better than the first chapter. oh ya an my friend, Silvan Wanderer (she has a few stories on here), reminded me to tell you people that the first chapter happened over a couple years. thank you Silvan for your help in some plot boosts (I was having writer's block, so she gave me some sinarios and suggested that I build off of them). hugs

Disclaimer- As much as I hate to admit this, but none of this is mine except the plot, that is mine. huggles the plot

It was the train ride to Hogwarts at the beginning of sixth year for the marauders, and Remus Lupin was sitting in a compartment alone, just like when he was starting first year. This year though, he was not afraid of other people finding out about him being a werewolf just by sitting with them, but he was saving the rest of the seats for his best friends James, Sirius, and Peter.

Once again, Remus's mind was off in space, and did not notice anyone enter the compartment and sit down next to him.

"Moon!" someone familiar said nearby using Remus's nickname. 'Hmm, lovely voice.' Remus thought to himself, still off in space, and looking out the window, not really seeing the people on the platform.

"Moony!" the someone shouted in his ear. That made Remus come back to earth and look around right into the beautiful grey eyes of Sirius.

"Huh, Wha? Sorry, just thinking." said Remus blushing from embarrassment, and from being so close to his secret crush. He had had a crush on his best friend since fourth year. The truth was that he had been thinking about how hot Sirius was, and wondering if he was any different from when Remus had last seen him. "Aren't you always thinking?" asked an amused Sirius.

Remus smiled and sighed, thinking, 'He's the same charming Sirius he has always been. God he has wonderful eyes.' "Hey Padfoot. How have ya been?"

"As well as I could have been with the horrid family I have." Just then, James and Peter walked into the compartment. "Prongs! Wormtail!" shouted Sirius, "look who I found off in LaLa Land," he said looking at Lupin.

"Isn't it to be expected?" said James laughing, and smiling at Remus, "only joking Moony." Remus smiled a bit and nodded, blushing slightly. He usually did not like being the center of attention.
Remus, James soon noticed, was being oddly silent. An hour into the ride he took the young werewolf. Out in the hall, so the others couldn't hear, James asked, "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing."
"Come on, you can tell me."
"I-IhaveacrushonSirius," he mumbled.
"What?"
"I... I have a crush on Sirius. Please don't tell him," Remus whispered. James stared at him.

"You hate me don't you," Remus mumbled in more of a statement than a question, feeling downcast. James was still staring.

After a minute, during which nothing happened, James exclaimed, "That is so cute!"

"So... y-you don't hate me?"

"Because of that?" Remus nodded. "Of course I don't hate you it would take more than having a crush on our best friend to make me hate you."

Remus sighed and said, "God, I'm so relieved! It's also nice to have said something to someone about it. Just promise me something."

"Yees?"

"Please promise you will never tell Sirius about this."

"I guess I promise."

"Thank you!"
