Haunted Eyes

Disclaimer: Do I really need to write this stupid thing? It's obvious that I don't own Harry Potter! If I did, the whole story would be revolved around Sirius and Remus snogging each other daily!

Sweets

"Look at all these sweets!" Sirius screeched, yes, screeched. "I've never seen so many in my whole life!"

"You see the same amount every time you come to Hogsmeade Sirius." Remus said, bored.

The pair was currently in Honey Dukes, Sirius gawking at all the candy and Remus bored out of his mind.

'This is what I gave up studying for? To gape at endless sweets and… ooohh! Are those sugar quills?'

Abandoning Sirius, who was gazing at the quality flavor of the new and improved Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans ("try our new 74 flavors!") Remus ventured over to the Sugar Quills, staring at them with much affection, very much like Sirius was doing… at the sweets? No, Sirius was watching Remus, whose bright amber eyes were lit up, a feat only certain sweets could manage, Sugar Quills being one of them.

Too engrossed with the sweets, Remus failed to notice the pair of eyes watching him, which was soon joined by another pair of eyes.

The dark clad figure growled at the absent of his mate. He knew that he was in Hogsmeade, but the problem was where? Not in the Three Broomsticks, where he had last spotted him.

The stranger pondered the fact. He knew so little of his mate.

'That'll be changed soon.'

The stranger smiled at the thought. When he claimed his mate, their worlds would literally revolve around each other.

'Oh, to see those stunning eyes again!' the stranger thought longingly. 'Those bright amber eyes with flecks of gold with hues of autumn!'

The stranger began to think of the whereabouts of his mate. 'He's merely a child. An innocent, pure being. Where would someone like him go in the village?' The answer hit him suddenly. 'He'll be where the sweets are!' the stranger thought. After all, all young people enjoy sweets. The stranger went off to Honey Dukes, certain that his mate was there.

"I'll buy you some quills," Sirius said to Remus, who was gazing longingly at the sweet. Sirius knew Remus didn't have that much money, so he couldn't enjoy the simple pleasures of life, sweets being one of them. Having any type of candy was usually a rare treat for him, and of course, Sirius was willing to change that.

"You don't have to Siri," Remus mumbled.

"Nonsense! I'm loaded!" Sirius laughed while he grabbed some galleons out of his pockets. He would do anything for Remus, and if Sugar Quills made him happy, he would buy all the Sugar Quills there.

"Thanks Siri!" Remus exclaimed enthusiastically and hugged Sirius. Sirius had always done so much for him. He wished he could repay the favor.

After buying the quills, (three dozen cases of them) Sirius dragged Remus to Zonkos, wanting to see the new products he could buy to prank the Slytherins. ("It'll show those slimy buggers!") Both were unaware of the stranger watching them in the shadows, who was fuming with jealousy.

'GET your hands off my mate!' the cloaked figure growled. He had seen that boy before with his mate, and he certainly didn't like how close he was to his mate. The stranger knew that he would be competition, seeing how his mate stared at him adorably. He wasn't bad-looking either, with long, wavy, pitch-black hair and shining grey eyes. The stranger didn't want him near his mate anymore; he needed to mark his territory!

'You'll pay dearly. No one touches what is mine.'

Author's Note: Okay! Okay! I have never seen so many reviews in my life! May I apologize for updating so late? I've been lazy, but I was also busy! With basketball, soccer, and the stupid science fair, I barely had free time, and the free time I had was spent reading other peoples' updated fics. Sorry it took so long though!

Well, I'd like to thank all the reviewers. I've finally cracked after AffectedMangoO told me to continue. I know this chapter could've been better, but now I feel obligated to give you readers something to read after all that waiting. I'll try to make the next chapter sooner.

Also, I know I keep preventing the meeting of Remus and his mate, but something will happen soon. And I know this chapter was so short (only 500 words) and I tried to make it bigger, but I didn't know what to add to it. The next chapter will (hopefully) by longer.
