Chapter Two
In the morning, Sirius woke up earlier than usual, about 6:30, and he noticed that Remus was gone. Not very unusual, as Remus was usually up before them. But then he noticed that his trunk was gone as well, and there was a slip of paper tucked into the mirror that hadn't been there the night before. Puzzled, he walked slowly over to the mirror with a growing sense of dread. He unfolded the paper, not wanting to see what was written on it. In shock, he read the following words:
Dear Sirius and James,
I am a werewolf. I just didn't want you two to hate me. I have left. It is the best thing for everyone. It is only a matter of time before my true nature shows and I hurt someone. I never want to hurt either of you so PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIND ME. The best thing to do would be to forget me.
Remus
James woke to a very white Sirius. He looked to be in a state of shock.
"What is it Sirius?" He asked worriedly. It wasn't often that Sirius looked like that. The last time had been when he had fallen off his broom and broken his leg. Sirius didn't answer, he just dropped the paper and sat on the nearest bed, which happened to be Remus'. James saw that Remus trunk wasn't there and frowned. He then picked up the note that had fallen to the ground and scanned it.
"Oh hell." He said, almost tonelessly. "I can't believe Remus has done this. Running away! Where would he run away to? The Forbidden Forest? He doesn't have a broom. And he was a werewolf! You were right!" He trailed off. Sirius had begun to cry, silently, tears rolling down his face. Now this was really alarming, James had never seen his raven headed friend cry, not even when his father had killed his dog.
"I did it Jamie, I made him run away. If I hadn't guessed then he would be here." Sirius sobbed
"Shh, calm down Sirius," James comforted. "It will be all right. We'll tell the professors and they will find him don't worry."
"He was so patient. He was the only person who would put up with us and help us with our homework." Sirius cried. "He was a Marauder, James!" With that parting thought he burrowed his head under Remus' covers and wouldn't say any more.
Surprisingly, none of the others in the dormitory had been woken by this. James went to find Professor McGonagall to report Remus' absence.
Hey. I am rather sad at the greeting that the first chapter got (NO REVIEWS!) but maybe this time people could leave a litlle something? Hm? What do you say? Good! Reivew!
