thoughts or letters are like this. the wolf thoughts are like this

Things became strange between the boys. James was forcing conversations between Sirius and Remus, Remus began to avoid Sirius, for more than one reason, and Sirius became slightly more protective of Remus. After about a week of this Remus received a letter. He took the letter from the beautiful storm gray owl. Written on the front of the folded parchment was: Remus, read when alone. Remus got up and turned to leave. "Hey Rem, where are you going?" James asked. "Uh...bathroom. I'll meet you guys in lessons." Remus ran to the nearest boy's bathroom. He checked that no one was in it before going into a stall. He sat down on the lid and pulled his knees up." Opening the letter with shaking hands he read.

Remus,

I am truly sorry for the pain I've caused and for ruining your life. I'll understand if you don't want to be friends with me any more. I'll leave you alone now. I'd say farewell but goodbyes are always hard.

Sirius Orion Black

Remus reread the letter four times. He decided that he wasn't going to lessons today and went back to the common room. At the end of lessons the other three boys came back looking a bit worse for wear. They had obviously come from potions. Remus could tell by the state they were in. The ends of Sirius' hair was singed, James' robes looked like they were blown up and Peter's eyebrows were blow off completely. "I hate potions! I'd be failing even worse if it weren't for you guys." Peter said completely oblivious to Remus' standing there. "Yeah well thanks to you we failed that assignment." If looks could kill Peter would be a smoldering pile of ash on the carpet from the glare Sirius was giving him. "What happened?" Remus asked. "Because of Peter," Sirius spat out Peter's name like a vomit flavored Berite bot. "and his stupid prank that backfired James and I are in the state you see now, failed the assignment and have detention for a week with the Gamekeeper."

Sirius completely ignored Peter and had started to freely talk to Remus again. Remus decided he would tell Sirius that he still wanted to be friends with him but he hadn't needed to. On the first night of detentions they got trouble with the Slytherins. "Back off." Sirius growled as the approached. The Slytherins ignored Sirius and went over to Remus. "Fancy meeting you here." Severus Snape sneered. "B-A-C-K O-F-F." Sirius drew out the words and drew out his wand at the same time. "Oh what's wrong Black, don't like people talking to your boyfriend." Snape had his sneer firmly in place. "Remus is NOT my boyfriend, and I am in no mood to have your presence here so I say it again; back off." He had a glare held firm to his eyes. His eyes held rage and annoyance. Snape backed off alright. Snape backed off, backed up and backed right out of the library. "I gotta go or I'll be late for detention. See ya later." Sirius groaned and walked out of the library. Remus noticed the book of parchment that Sirius was writing in was left behind. He picked it up and put it in his bag. Remus thought back on the conversation Snape and Sirius had. He felt himself flush when Snape called him Sirius' boyfriend. 'Why though?' Remus thought. 'I don't look like that much of a pansy do I?' Remus shook his head in confusion. 'You're not a pansy, and I wouldn't mind being Padfoot's puppy.' The wolf claimed. Remus shook his head again. "Hey Remus what's up?" Lily asked as she sat down. "Oh, uh, nithong...I mean nothing." Remus and Lily had become study buddies. If the other boys weren't in the mood to study, most often the case, Lily would study with him. Lily new that when Remus switched his words or said them wrong he was often confused. "What's confusing you now?" Lily asked. "How did you know I was confused?" Remus was taken by surprise when she said that. "I just did, now what's confusing you?" Lily asked again. "Just something someone said that made me blush and I don't know why." Remus spilt the truth knowing she'd get it out of him somehow. "What was said?" Lily enjoyed playing psychologist when a friend had troubles. "That I was someone's boyfriend...a boy's boyfriend." Remus flushed again. "Oh, so you got embarrassed by being call a homosexual." Lily said knowingly. "I guess..." Remus pondered for a moment. "Well are you?" Lily asked. "I hope not." Remus went back to his essay.

Sirius, James and Peter had to shovel out a coral for Hagrid. Sirius, already in foul mood, got angrier when Peter had nearly hit him with a shovel. He got back at Peter by flinging dung on him. "Oy! What was that for?!" Peter shouted at a smirking Sirius. "For almost hitting me with your shovel." Sirius went back to work but stopped almost immediately. He looked around. He had the feeling they were being watched, or more specifically, he was being watched. James noticed Sirius' behavior. "You alright?" "Yeah I thought I...heard...something." It was half the truth because Sirius really did hear something. James glared at Sirius in concern. Sirius walked over to the forest. "Where are you going?" James made to follow him but Sirius held out his hand for him to stop. "Aufenthalt dort." James had no clue what Sirius had said but thought it was along the lines of stay there. Sirius walked into the forest and came out a few moments later a bit stunned. He kept silent about what happened and made James worry. Their detention was over and they left for the Gryffindor tower. Are you going to tell us what happened?" James asked.

Sirius started off. "I heard something in the forest and went to check it out. When I got there...

A/N: Ooh cliffy! Sorry bout that but I had to do it. I won't do it often though. Oh and Sirius is speaking German....
