Chapter Four: Sirius' confusion:
Remus finally gave up with Peter and promised him to finish his homework .He was too tired and confused. Sirius behaviour had depress him so much, what was going on with him, He shocked his head, Sirius was out of his mind "more than usual" sighed him sadly. Peter has gone to the kitchen for something to eat, he was hungry as usual, Remus would have gone with him any other day, but not today, today he needed time to think about his friend and his own feelings…
He was lost into his own thoughts when the staircases started to shift, he sighed "no again", he really hates when this happens mostly at night and alone. He landed in a dark lonely corridor; he took out his wand, just in case!. He was walking quietly, hiding in the shadows, that was a Slytherin corridor and he rather not to be found by the serpents alone. He was about to turned in a corner when a familiar voice made him to stop..
"… not wonder your friends realized as well" said a silky too dam familiar voice….it was Snape, Remus was sure even if his voice sounds kind of amusing, even happy for his standards. Remus hesitated for a while, should he stay and hear why Snivellius sounded so "happy"? Not better not, Snape was "nice" when they worked together but whenever with his friends the Slytherin was dangerous. He was about to turned in his heals when another too dam familiar voice stopped him.
"They didn't, and if they did they would think is Remus not you the one I am interested in"
…is Remus… not you…. the one…I am…. interested in… those words reached Remus slowly but slammed him too painfully. Remus' eyes widened, his mouth felt open, the second voice was… not it wasn't… Not of course no… he couldn't… he wouldn't… not in a million years that sweet playfully voice could be his! He stood there frozen, not sound coming. He was shacking madly, it has to be a mistake, it has to! "Someone with a similar voice" though him hopefully but he knew it was his, it was him. But how? Why? It can't be, he would never use such a tone with SNAPE!
Remus was breathing hard; his heart was beating so fast that he could faint any moment now. He closed his eyes, taking a decision, he didn't believe his own ears, it has to be a mistake, so taking all the courage he didn't have he gave a couple of steps forwards and turned the corner..
Hell frozen…. There, just a few steps in front of him, Snape and him were kissing deeply, passionately… Fortunately they didn't notice him cause even if the moon wasn't full that night, Remus felt like a wild furious animal nevertheless… "Traitor" was all he could think about before turning in his heals, he has never felt this betrayed before…
James arrived to the common room just in time as he usually did, he smiled to himself "not detention today neither!", but his smile disappeared as soon as he entered his room… A mess, a total mess, Peter was transfigurating or better say murdering the poor toads he has to convert into mugs. Remus was at the far corner with his nose buried in a high pile of books, looking disgusted/shocked/furious about something, but what?
"Moony, Pete" said him cheerfully, he hasn't spoken "properly" with them in a while and he felt a little guilty about it, were they splitting apart? He wishes they weren't but he has to admit they were… mostly when Peter just mumbled something like "um" and Remus shot him a dark look without even answering him.
James raised an inquiring eyebrow, what was going on? He was about to ask Remus when Padfoot entered the room, wearing a huge happy smile.
"Prongs, my dear best friend" said Sirius happily sliding an arm over his friend, hugging him tight. "Can we talk?" asked him blinking.
"What are you so happy about?" asked James with a what-are-you-up-to look, happiness was too obvious in Sirius' face.
"Life"…."Love"…."girls" sang Padfoot poetically.
James was about to laugh when a loud "BOOM" was heard. Remus has apparently slammed all the books and more if possible.
"DON'T YOU DARE TO TALK ABOUT LOVE OR GIRLS WITH JAMES IN MY PRESENCE!"
James and Sirius exchanged worried looks, hell has definitely frozen… James shocked his head an obvious "Don't have idea" written all over his face.
"What's up mate? Asked Sirius to Moony. He was still angry about the snivellius thing but this was so un-remushis that he got worried.
Remus was furious standing in front of them, a werewolf would have been less frighten.
"Do NOT call me MATE cause WE ARE NOT!" state the lycanthropic firmly, heading to the door. His usual politeness and kindness totally forgotten.
Sirius was petrified, words totally abandoned him.
"What's wrong Moony?" asked James with caution.
"Wanna know what's wrong? I'll tell you what THE HELL IS WRONG!" yelled Remus back, he was shacking madly, his face burning with anger.
"I am SICK of this HYPOCRIT friendship, I can't believe you still call yourselves my friends! How long have you two lied to me?"
James tried to open his mouth but words weren't anywhere around. Sirius' mouth has felt open, his body frozen, he couldn't fell anything at all, talk didn't even occurred to him. This was definitely not his Moony.
Remus was breathing hard, his eyes expressing hate, disgust, deception. His best friends have betrayed him, both of them. There was not way that secrets exist between the two of them. They both knew about "Snape", he shivered with the memory of Snape and him. And shooting a last dark look to his ex-best friends he left, leaving a scared Peter, a surprised James and a confused Sirius, why all of the sudden Remus' fury affected him so much?...
Next day:
"She is a mugblood you know" a cold-disgusted voice said breaking Severus' concentration. He turned angrily to face Lucius.
"I beg your pardon?" replies Severus with his best mind-doing-your-own-business tone.
"Evans, she's a mugblood, just in case you didn't know" replied Lucius ignoring Severus' previous tone.
"So what?"
The blond almost blinked, was this his I-do-whatever-you-say Sevy, not he wasn't…. was he challenging him, he's better not… though Lucius had to admit Sevy looked quite "interesting" when challenging, and Lucius loves challenges…
"You have been fixing her the whole class" went on the blond as if Severus hasn't realized what he has been doing.. "her friends could realized your "interested" mostly Potter" finished him, stressing too much the word Potter, he knew Severus was pretty sensitive to that word…
Severus ignored him, and turned to Evans again.
"A mugblood, that what she is" murmured the blond angrily to Severus before leaving. Severus groaned. He didn't need anyone to tell/remember him that, he knew what she was, he knew too dam well who she was, he was been watching her closely the last weeks, that "Bloody perfect Evans!"…
Next Chapter: Lily's confusion…. Who is confusing "Bloody perfect Evans"? Will Sirius figure it out why Remus' fury affect him so much?... ;)
