The Gryffindor common room was silent.

There were only two people.

But it really shouldn't have been as silent as it was at the moment.

Sirius and Remus were the two.

They should have been talking about what had just happened. But there just nothing to say.

Tessi was quite the thespian when it came to breakups. Remus was weak, and jealous. He would've done anything for a girlfriend, but was just too skittish. Instead, the girl had come to him.

Sirius rocked back and forth, a pillow squished up against him, a wall of protection. His eyebrows were knitted together, and his eyes had signs of wetness.

Remus was on his back in the the best chair, his legs hanging over, and his head resting on the arm. He was paler than usual, and an enormous empty chocolate wrapper balanced oddly on his stomach. He gave an occasional sigh.

Finally, he spoke.

"How did I miss it."

Sirius darted his gaze to Remus.

"What?"

"How did I fall into her trap?"

"How would I know? You never told me how you felt."

"Hey, hey. You would've been ticked off at me if I had."

"I'd rather know."

"What attracted you to her anyway?"

"I wasn't attracted to her, mate. It was her trap."

"And all that snogging was on impulse?"

"...yes."

"Ugh."

"Was that becoming instant boyfriend impulse?"

"Shut up."

"Moony, we needa talk about this."

"It was my fault."

"What?"

"Getting girls between the Marauders."

"It was a dumb dare! Don't blame yourself like that."

"It was the night before the full moon, I was giddy."

"No, I think it was impulse."

"Stop it."

"Sor-ory!"

Now a bit maddened, the two fell back into silence. Sirius grinded his teeth, and Remus picked at his fingernails. The two most annoying things.

"I'm glad you stopped me today."

"What?" Again, Remus had spoken.

"When you saw me walking with Tessi."

"Why?"

"If we had been together any longer, I would've said I was a werewolf."

"And then everyone in the school would know, most likely."

"She was a snitch."

"Hard to catch, but so worth it once you do."

"Getting descriptive, now, are we?"

"Well, I have a way with words, and-"

"Muffins?"

"Oh, you know me too well, Moony."

"Too well indeed, Padfoot."

"I think we should make an oath."

"An oath? Sirius Black and oaths? Nuh-uh."

"Yes. That there will be no one with a girlfriend, unless permitted by the rest of the Marauders."

"Except for Lily."

"Except for Lily. Deal?"

"Deal."

"Down with Tessi?"

"Down with Tessi."

They shook hands, mischievous twinkles in their eyes.

"Mr. Moony, do you think Zonko products would make good use in the girl's dormitory right now? On particular auburn colored heads?"

"Indeed, Mr. Padfoot. I do agree."

"And then-"

"And then what?"

"We have muffins."

A/n: -cries- Chapter 15! Before Chapter 16, which will be the last chapter! Oh, I'm gonna wait a day or two and build up the suspense for the last chapter. And I'm also dead tired. Oh, odd question, but I'm interested. I was just thinking what instrument each Marauder would probably end up playing. Not that that's gonna go in the story or anything, just an odd thought. You can say in your review. I just thought up the piano for Moony, and the guitar for Padfoot. Maybe the tuba for Wormtail...and the sax for Prongs...hmm...-goes and wanders in stupid thoughts-
