Chapter Three: Remus' confusion
Remus was already in his bed when Sirius arrived. "Moony can we talk?" practically ordered Sirius.
"Grrr" groaned Remus without standing up. "I'd rather sleep, let's talk tomorrow".
"No we need to talk now" insisted Sirius.
"Let's-talk-TOMORROW" snapped Remus, he already knew what all was about, and didn't fell like discussing it right now.
"Fine! But don't ask for help cause I won't help you with your "friend"".
"Can you forget about it? He is NOT my "friend", we are just working in a project together, that's all!"
"Fine but when that git cursed you I won't be there to help you!" said Sirius shutting his curtains. Remus was so stubborn!
Next morning Sirius woke up in a bad mood and got even worse when he didn't see Moony around.
"Where's Remus?" asked him to James. James shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know mate".
"He woke up early and said something about a project" said Peter annoyed. Sirius rolled his eyes.
"What project?" asked James, why didn't he know anything about his friend anymore?
"He is working with that Slyther-brat, in a difficult and PRIVET project" answered Sirius mimicking Remus.
"Slyther-brat like in Snivellius-brat?" asked James raising an eyebrow.
"Who else? Remus LOVES to work with him" said Sirius angrily. He couldn't understand how Remus could manage to work with that git!
"I see" answered James getting out of the room, better not be around Padfoot today.
About an hour later, after breakfast, James, Sirius and Peter entered the library. At the end of the library two boys were studying and discussing something. Sirius roller his eyes, something about them working together really bothered him.
"I can't believe Remus is actually laughing!" said Sirius angrily a couple of minutes later, they were sitting in front of the "couple" and he hasn't been able to read or write anything, eyes fixed in them.
At the end of the library, Remus was having a good laugh and Severus well wasn't but he looked quite relax so it was a lot to his standards. James clipped Sirius in the back of the head. "Leave them alone, Moony is just working, nothing else"said him with a nothing-to-worry-about tone, he was sure there was nothing going on between them, Sirius was just overeacting...he went back to his work but couldn't help to shot a dark look to the "couple", he had to admit Sirius had a point...
"yes sure!" replied Sirius rubbing his head.
Severus leaved the library and seconds later Remus approached his friends. Sirius ignored him. James sighed and said he got things to do, not way he was going to stay for the upcoming fight. Peter asked Remus help with his homework and Sirius left quite angry with the lycanthropic. Remus shocked his head; he couldn't understand why Sirius was acting so odd. He was just working with Snape, just that. Sometime Padfoot confused him so much…
"You are late, as usual" hissed Severus a couple of minutes later to his "love". The Griffindor arrived looking more indifferent and colder than usual.
"Quidicth as usual" answered the Griffindor neutrally. Folding his arms on his chest, resting against the wall.
"You were at the Library, I saw you…. So you got not excuse!"
"Really? I though you didn't notice me, since you got a new griffindor with who spent your time at the library"
Severus couldn't help but laugh, "Are you jealous?"
"Of course not, Remus is not mach for me" answered him with a matter-of-fact tone.
"Really? I saw the glace you were shooting at us, you didn't look too happy, not wonder your friends realized as well" said Severus with a amusing smile. His lover looks so cute when jealous!
The Griffindor flushed, has it been that obvious?
"They didn't, and if they did they would think is Remus not you the one I am interested in" replied the Griffindor with a sweet playfull tone, a tone he knew the Slytherin loved...
He didn't say anything else, he got a step closer to Severus and they forgot about anything else…
