Chapter two: Discussions with a certain red head

Sirius awoke the following morning with many thoughts. He had been up most of the night sitting on the astronomy tower dwelling on what to do about the Remus situation. When he had finally decided to go to bed his thoughts, had reached no conclusion. Glancing at his clock, he noticed that it was only seven o'clock. He decided to get up, knowing that nobody else would be awake at this hour on a Sunday.

He showered and dressed quickly and made his way down the stairs, deciding that some breakfast was in order. He was a bit surprised to find Lily seated comfortably in one of the squishy arm chairs upon entering the common room. She looked wide awake and quite interested in the book she was reading.

"Morning, Lily."He said, yawning and stretching.

"Well, well." She replied, looking up and grinning in a devilish manner. "I never thought I'd see one of the marauders rising at such an early hour. Particularly the infamous Sirius Black."

"Always a charm to be full of surprises."

"I guess that's what makes you Sirius. So what madness awakened you at this hour?"She asked.

"It's nothing . . . "

"It's Remus." Lily replied, cutting him off.

Sirius simply stared at her. It was truly unbelievable how such a clever girl chose to go out with James he marveled, laughing quietly to himself. Then again, he supposed, his affection for Remus wasn't such a big secret. Sirius had never made any great efforts to hide his sexuality. Although he had never dated anyone, he suspected that James had figured it out long ago. They had once discussed the many girls that had taken to staring at Sirius during classes. Sirius had clearly expressed that he wasn't interested. He opened his mouth to reply when Lily started talking again.

"Don't bother trying to hide it, Sirius. We saw you two last night."

"I know. I'm not trying to keep it a secret."He said.

"Have you figured out what to do about it yet?" She asked him, finally placing the book on the table and looking at him intently.

"I'm going to wait. Remus will come to me with his feelings."

Sirius was confident in this. Remus needed time to think things through. Admitting to being a homosexual was a difficult thing. Although Sirius had never told anyone straight out, admitting it to himself had been the hardest thing to deal with.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Remus needs to come to terms with the consequences of liking another man. There will be some prejudice toward us." He responded.

"Remus has grown up with that all of his life." Her eyes were serious. "I think to be with you is what would make him happy. It would take his mind off of everything."

"I know. I want to give that to him so bad Lily." Sirius responded honestly.

He had never discussed this with anyone. Lily was a person to be trusted and he was grateful for a person to talk to. Sirius was now realizing how much he wanted to change Remus' life. Love was still a strong word, but Sirius was beginning to realize what it meant.

"What about you Sirius?"Lily asked suddenly, surprising him.

She glanced at his perplexed expression, a look of slight amusement dawning on her face. It quickly sobered and the seriousness returned.

"How are things with your family?"

He sighed. There had been no contact with his mother in more than ten months. It had been in the summer that he had finally snapped and left his house and all the bad memories in it.

"Mummy is probably still angry over my very existence."Sirius replied, joking about the subject as usual.

Lily, however, did not laugh.

"I guess Mrs. Black wouldn't be happy about her son being homosexual." She mused.

Sirius gave his barking laugh.

"As far as they're concerned they never had a son. I'll bet good money I'm scorched off the old family tapestry."

He dearly wished he could wipe the look of deep concern off of Lily's face. Sirius never appreciated seeing his friends look sad, particularly over himself.

"Don't worry. I'm much better off without them." He said, smiling at her. "I'll get a place of my own in the fall. Old Uncle Alphard gave me the key to his vault for my birthday."

Sirius meant it. He didn't feel much toward having a life without proper parents. To him the Potters, Peter, Remus and Lily were his family. Sometimes he wondered what it would be like to have parents who loved him but often pushed the thought aside. He didn't like to think of what could be. Not on that particular topic anyway.

"Okay." She returned his smile.

They were interrupted by James and Remus coming down from the boy's dormitory. Both looking tired from the previous night, they bid good morning to their friends and the group headed toward the Great Hall together.

Sirius glanced at Remus as they walked, Remus slightly in front. Yes, he did want to make Remus happy. He wanted it more than anything else in the world. He wondered if it was what Remus wanted. He marveled the fact that one person could cause him so much confusion. Yet glancing at the golden hair and the bright green eyes, he suddenly realized that it was all worth it.

There it is. Once again coming off rather short although I didn't intend for this to be a long chapter. Leave a little review please and thank you.
