Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Remus, Sirius, James, or Severus. Tough

without...)

THIS IS FROM REMUS LUPIN'S POV....huzzah
I figured it was a dumb idea to hold a grudge against Sirius for long. He had this charm that makes it quite impossible. He made a huge fuss over sitting next to me, so I figured we'd have a chance to talk anyway. However, Transfiguration was deafeningly silent this time around, and when I glanced over at Sirius, his hands were trembling.
"Sirius...? What's wrong?" I asked kindly as possible.
"What's wrong? Nothing's wrong, Remus." His head stayed low as he rummaged through his bag. I smiled and nodded.
"Okay, Siri". I heard a small sigh and thought I just imagined it. There was no doubt about it, he was acting peculiar lately.
McGonagall went on to explain about turning muggle water bottles into deodorant and I leaned over to Sirius.
"I just want to let you know that no mater how close I seem to be trying to get to Severus, it in no way compares to being your friend, Sirius. For that matter, sure I would be more than pleased to spend all of my time with you three and not with Snape, but I feel we owe him something. I won't jump to any accusations just yet about his motives if I were you, Sirius, because so far he has been a completely innocent and kind man. And I think maybe, some day, you could grow to understand each other or at least respect one another. Homosexuality isn't such a terrible thing, Sirius, and I know I'd most certainly still be fond of you if you told me you were gay. He should be no different. It's the same as being a werewolf. Some things you just can't help, Siri, and does that make it evil or sick? No. But I'm going to try and forget it because I don't want him to stand in the way of our---"
"Mr. Lupin, please pay attention," Mc Gonagall snapped. I stopped and leaned back, seeing only black hair covering his probably indescribable face.
' So, Remus, figure you'll be coming to watch our quidditch practice again today?" James asked, hyper as ever.
"Would you mind terribly if I don't today? I actually have some studying to catch up on--" I muttered, hoping they didn't see my bluff.
"Remus, extra credit isn't studying," Peter laughed. I forced myself to smile.
'You sure, Moony?" James pleaded. Sometimes I wondered why HE had puppy dog eyes, too.
"Yeah, I'm real sorry, but I have to do this before time runs out. I'll see you later, though!" I called, running down the hall in the opposite direction. I spotted the library and ran inside to find exactly what I was looking for.
'How did I know you'd find me here?"
"Just lucky, I guess," I smiled. Severus smiled too, but shook his head.
"You're a nuisance, you realize..."
'Well, I could only hope so," I grinned. " But I was wondering if maybe you could help me, you know, give me a private lesson in Potions? I've really been having some trouble in it, and you're the best in the school, Severus."
" If you're going to use me as a tutor, then--"
'' No! This is just a request while I try to get to know you. Really. I would never dream of taking advantage of you, Severus," I smiled sincerely. But then I did think of 'taking advantage' of him and had to stop myself quickly. As far as I was concerned, things may have been going too fast, much more toward a desired goal rather than just enjoying a journey there. And besides, I wasn't even sure if I really did like Severus that way or if it was just the full moon taking over. But I suppose I had a while to find out.
