Disclaimer: Sirius and Remus are not mine. I'm thinking of making plushies, though. James, Molly, Peter, and Arthur are not mine. Randi is mine, though she doesn't really do anything.

Notes to reviewers: First of all, thank you so much for positive and helpful comments. Secondly: I tried to put double spaces or something in between scene switches, but it just deleted them. I'm trying something different this time. Sorry if it confused you. If this works, I'm going to re-do the other chapters in this format.

James sat down at the Gryffindor table. Remus and Molly were sitting across from each other.

"Where's Sirius?" They asked in unison. Molly giggled and Remus put his hand over his mouth, grinning.

James grinned, and sat down. "He had to go do something at the library. He'll be here."

Remus nodded.

A tall, redheaded boy walked up to the table and sat down next to Molly. "Hi, Molly."

"Hi, Arthur." Molly glanced at James as if to say, "This guy's a nut."

Arthur Weasley looked around at the rest of his new company. "Hi, guys."

"Hi, Art."

Arthur looked annoyed, but didn't say anything.

Sirius sat down at a central table in the library. He looked around impatiently. A girl with curly black hair walked in, glancing around. Sirius raised his arm to signal her.

"Oh," she said, and went to sit down across from Sirius. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, there is. Do you know Remus Lupin?"

"Know him? It's all the girls in my dorm ever talk about. Remus is so smart, Remus is so handsome, Remus helped me with my history homework, I could just die… It's sickening, really."

Sirius blinked. "I had no idea he was so popular."

"Well, he's mysterious. Girls find mystery intriguing."

"Hum. Alright, then." Sirius shrugged.

"Yes. Of course, he doesn't show the slightest interest in any of them, which makes them want him even more badly."

Sirius shook his head.

Randi shrugged. "Anyway, what about Remus? Is there something you want to know about him? Whether he sleeps in the nude?"

Sirius's eyes widened. He let out a choked sound. "What?"

Randi shrugged again. "It seems to be a popular speculation."

"Well, no, that isn't what I wanted to know. I wanted to know if you could… give him something for me. Well, not give it to him, per se, just… make sure he gets it."

"Er… what is it?"

Sirius handed her a small black box.

"This? What's in it?"

Sirius looked at the box. "Nothing. Well… he'll know what to do with it. Just leave it on his bed or something, okay?"

"Sure. I'll go do it right now so I don't walk in on anyone changing clothes. At least it isn't something heavy." Randi sighed.

"Thanks, Randi."

"You're welcome."

Randi got up to deliver the package. Sirius sat there for a moment before gathering his things and heading to the Hall for dinner.

-----

Everyone was eating by the time Sirius got to the Great Hall. Arthur Weasley was sitting next to Molly. Sirius glared at him. Even if he didn't have any real feelings for Molly, Weasley should have the good manners not to encroach on other people's girlfriends.

"Shove off, Weasley," Sirius growled.

Arthur looked up, annoyed, but something in Sirius's eyes told him that it would be a good idea to just scoot over. He did so, and Sirius sat down next to Molly.

"Hi, Sirius," she said, looking up at him briefly before looking back at her plate.

Sirius grabbed some food. "Hi, Molly. Hi, James. Hi, Remus."

"Hi, Sirius, Remus replied. James was eating.

"Where's Peter?"

"Died," Remus replied succinctly.

Sirius let out a short bark of laughter. "You don't know, then?"

"Nope. He said he had to send an owl."

"Oh."

"Yeah, but he should be back by now."

"Yeah. Wonder where he is.

Peter rushed into the Hall, red-faced. He sat down next to Remus. "Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late."

"No problem, Peter," Sirius replied. He was beginning to think he'd never get to eat at this rate.

"I kinda got sidetracked."

Remus looked up. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I was coming back from the owlery and this Hufflepuff girl bumped into me. She had all this stuff in her arms and it flew everywhere. I helped her pick it up."

Sirius looked up. "Did you get her name?"

Peter rolled his eyes. "I swear, Sirius, all you think about is girls."

Sirius grinned. "No, it isn't."

Peter grabbed some food off the table. Sirius finally looked down to his plate and took a bite of potatoes.

-----

Remus yawned. He and Peter were walking down to the Ravenclaw wing, having just bid goodnight to the rest of their group. Remus gave the password and the boys went straight up to their dormitory.

"Goodnight, Wormtail," Remus said.

"Goodnight, Moony." Peter crawled into his bed and drew the curtains.

Remus was about to follow suit when he noticed a small black box on his pillow. He picked it up, and realized what it was—it was just like the little box that he'd bought at the joke shop a few days ago. He pressed the sides in and it turned into a bouquet of flowers. Remus blinked, shocked. A note fluttered down out of the flowers to rest on his bedspread. Remus picked it up.

It read,

Love, Me.

Remus sighed and summoned a glass of water to put the flowers in. He set them on his nightstand and climbed into bed. He fell asleep looking at the flowers, wondering who they were from.

-----

James went up to bed, leaving Sirius and Molly alone in the common room. Sirius put his arm around Molly's shoulder.

Molly looked at Sirius. "Do you love me?"

Sirius stared at her. "Don't you think it's a bit early in the relationship for that?"

Molly shrugged. "I guess so, it's just that you seem a little preoccupied lately. Is something on your mind?"

"Actually, yes, there is."

James came back down, crossed the common room, and went out the portrait hole.

Sirius glanced after him, then turned back to Molly. "I suppose I should tell you, it isn't right to lead you on."

Molly looked at him, silently, and waited for him to continue.

Sirius was silent for a moment, gathering his thoughts. Then, he continued, "I'm in love with someone… but it isn't you."

Molly nodded understandingly. "Who is it?"

Sirius looked at the fire, watching it dance. He sighed and looked back at Molly. "It's Remus."

Molly looked a bit shocked. "Oh."

"I'm not gay."

"Right. You just like boys."

"I do not. Just Remus." Sirius sighed. "This is stupid."

Molly put her hand on Sirius's. "No, it isn't. You love who you love. You can't help that."

Sirius looked up at Molly, and smiled. "Thanks, Molly. I guess you're right." He kissed her on the cheek.

Molly smiled. "So, I guess we're no longer a couple?"

Sirius shrugged. "It's your call."

"I don't want to be in a relationship that won't grow and change with me."

Sirius nodded. He let go of Molly's hand and stood up.

Molly watched him walk up the stairs, then turned to look at the fire. Sirius Black was certainly the most unique person she'd ever met.

James came back into the common room. He looked over toward Molly and Sirius, but Sirius wasn't there. He walked over.

"Where's Sirius?"

"He went up." Molly pointed in the direction of the boys' dormitories.

"Oh. Why are you still sitting here?"

She shrugged. "I felt like sitting for a while."

James looked up to the stairs, then sat down next to Molly on the couch.

"Did something happen between you two?"

"No. He broke up with me."

James blinked at her. "Oh?"

Molly looked at James. "Yeah. He's in love with Remus."

James blinked again. "Really?"

"Yeah. I take it you didn't know about it."

"No… only…Remus is in love with Sirius."

It was Molly's turn to blink now. "Really?"

"Yes. He was quite agitated about it, too, a few days ago."

"Really…"

James looked like an idea had come to him. "Do you think that maybe Sirius is the one who's been sending Remus those secret admirer notes?"

Molly looked at James. "Yeah, I'll bet he is!"

James grinned. "I have an idea."

They sat on the couch in the common room, their heads bent together, conspiring, until the sky began to lighten with the grey of the false dawn, around three in the morning.

Next chapter: James turns into a salamander. Somebody kisses somebody else.
