Chapter 2
Slowly, Remus trudged back to the Gryffindor common room.
"Moony! Moony! Guess what?"
Without waiting for an answer, James carried on;
"We followed Snape down into the deepest dungeon, ready to capture him and force him to submit to our will, and, you will never believe this, he was meeting up with his, his…"
Spluttering
with laughter, he burst out
"His
boyfriend! He's a bloody fag!"
Remus paled, he knew very well that Snape was gay, he would never forget the day those cold eyes and greasy black hair had cornered him in a hallway and asked him out, holding a wand to his throat.
"His boyfriend is a first year as well, and a Hufflepuff"
Sirius said, smirking and sipping something that looked suspiciously like fire whiskey.
"Anymore of those, Siri?"
Remus said, with a rather convincing grin. All he wanted to do was drown his sorrows.
"Well I suppose I could get a couple more"
He drawled, with an odd look on his face
"But, at a cost"
Remus knew something like that this was coming, Sirius didn't miss a beat.
"Of course"
Replied Remus, feeling smaller by the moment
"First of all, tell me why you didn't come with us to torment Snape, usually you come along to stop it getting out of hand, but this time, not only did you not protest, but you said that you would PLAY the forcing milk down his scrawny neck game, but you had charms homework to do. We don't have charms homework."
He kicked his feet up on the table and leaned back in his armchair, looking quite the detective.
"Well I…… thought we did"
He argued feebly
"Well, we didn't. Why didn't you come find us once you realised? You're hiding something from me, Moony."
"Come off it Moony, we're your mates, we wouldn't tell anyone, would we Siri? Would we Peter?"
Remus felt like a trapped mouse.
