Chapter Two: Strange emotions, strange thoughts
Lily looked at James, shock very evident on her face. "But, but..."
"What?" James asked happily. "You said so yourself that Sirius is gay, why not help me set the two up? They both need each other."
"You're right," Lily said sadly. Remus was forever going to be labeled a werewolf and apart from the Potters, Sirius had no one who really cared for him in a loving way.
"Potter, I mean, James, you've got a deal." James smiled and hugged Lily.
"You're the best Lily!"
Sirius and Peter watched James and Lily from the other end of the table.
"Looks like Prongs is finally getting somewhere with Lily. About time too," Sirius said with a smile on his face. Peter nodded but seemed a little downcast by the news.
"So I guess they'll be spending more time together." Sirius looked at Peter with disgust on face and loathing in his eyes.
"Honestly Wormtail, it's not like he was your boyfriend or something. Hey, where's Mooney?" Sirius asked noticing that the fourth marauder was missing from the group. Peter helped look around the Great Hall.
"He must have gone down to the kitchens for food," Sirius concluded to no one. Peter nodded and continued eating his food, okay, inhaling his food. Sirius quickly lost his appetite.
Sirius faked a yawn and got up. "Well, I'm going to bed Wormtail. I need to be ready and well rested for tomorrow night." Peter just nodded his head and continued to fill his plate with more and more food.
Sirius was almost out of the Hall, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, he looked down into the eyes of Jennifer.
"Hey Jen, I'd walk you back down by the kitchens, but I'm really tired so I'm just going to head up to my common room and go to bed." Jennifer nodded and stood up on her toes to give Sirius a kiss on the cheek. He smiled and kissed her fully on the lips. Jen smiled as he pulled away.
"Sirius, it's so wonderful being with you. I must be the luckiest girl in Hogwarts to be dating you. Did you know when we kiss that it leaves me absolutely and completely breathless? Does it happen to you too?" Sirius smiled and nodded.
"Of course Jennifer."
Dumbledore watched from the High Table as Jennifer and Sirius shared their last kiss. He knew what was going to end up happening but he didn't know what to do about it.
Sirius walked up to his dormitory stunned. For the first time in his life, he lied to he girlfriend. He lied to Jennifer and he hadn't realized it until she walked back over to the Hufflepuff table. He couldn't believe he agreed with her when truth be told it was the opposite. He didn't feel that way at all towards her. He had to feel something towards her right? That's why they were together. Sirius searched through his mind, whom did he ever feel happy, emotional, or excited around? Going through his mental checklist, he went through Lily, Jennifer, some of Jen's friends, Molly, and then it hit him. A face appeared in his mind and the face belonged to none other than-
i NO Sirius. That can't be possible at all. I mean you can't have feelings for Remus. You're both guys. We aren't like that. I must be losing my mind or going crazy. i
Sirius shook his head and tired to push the thought away. The thought ended up taking over the back of his mind.
Remus looked around the common room. Everyone was still at dinner so he had time to think, time to examine his confusing feelings for of his best friends. Sirius haunted Remus' dreams and thoughts whenever his mind wasn't concentrating on something else.
Why? That's one of his questions. Why did he have feelings for Sirius Black?
Okay, that's a really dumb question. Remus thought, He's the best looking man anywhere, he's charming, amazingly intelligent when he wants to be, he's funny, he has- Okay Mooney, so you like Sirius. Remus shook his head and flipped open his journal. October 13, 1973
James found out about my crush on Sirius. He promised that he would only tell Lily. Somehow I think she already knows. I'm pretty sure she knows I'm a werewolf too, she helped cover for me during the last full moon. I'm so thankfully that she hasn't said anything yet.
Speaking of Lily, over the summer, she had sent me some records by the Beatles. She told me about how the broke up but refused to let their music die. She told me how great the music was, I must agree.
Sirius and Jen are still together. As a good friend I'm happy for him because he is happy. Sadly, a small part of me would love to do nothing more than hex Jennifer until she had to go to St. Mugno's. I hate that part of me and wish it would leave, but it can't.
Dumbledore's planning to throw a Halloween Ball. We get to dress up and everything. Lily said she'd make me and Sirius costumes. Sadly, we agreed because we couldn't think of anything else to go as. She said she'd dress up James too. I don't have a good feeling about this, oh well; no backing out now, she's started on the costumes already. Oh, I hear the portrait opening, got to go.
Sirius looked up at the portrait. "Boomslang skin." The picture winked at Sirius and swung open. Sirius spotted Remus closing a book and placing it in his bag.
"Hello Mooney."
"Evening Padfoot. Have you seen James or Lily?" Remus asked, looking into Sirius' blue eyes.
"Ya, they were talking at dinner, then left. I think they finally got together and are having a small snog session," Sirius said smiling and waggling his eyebrows. Remus laughed at him.
"Honestly, Lily's not like that at all."
"Like what?" Remus turned to see Lily looking at them.
"Nothing really, just talking about a few things. Where'd ya go? Sirius asked, tilting his head like a curious dog.
"Well, I was using a spare classroom to construct your Halloween costumes," Lily said smiling. James shook his head sadly.
"I pity you two. She used the word 'cute' down there." Remus smiled and Sirius shivered. They still had no idea what they were going as and it almost scared them, almost.
Lily looked from Remus to Sirius. They were standing really close to each other.
"So what have you two been up to?" Lily asked smiling to herself.
"Just talking to each other, enjoying a friend's company as the sky gets darker." Lily nodded. Sirius looked down at his watch.
"Well, I'm gonna go to bed." Humming a small tune, which oddly sounded like 'Eight Days A Week,' he walked up to the boys' dorm.
"JAMES! I'LL KILL YOU FOR GETTING THAT BLOODY SONG IN MY HEAD!"
James laughed, "Sorry mate! Blame Lil, she got it stuck in my head first!" Lily pushed James and walked over to Remus.
"So how are things going Remus?" Lily asked sitting down on the couch. Remus sat down next to her and sighed.
"I wish I could tell him ya know? When I'm near him, everything is perfect. Nothing is wrong, not even Severus' presence would be able to ruin it. It's hard to explain but- I don't know. I would tell him, I just don't want to feel rejected and I would hate to split up him and Jennifer." Lily smiled at him kindly.
"Lupin, do you know why girls look at Sirius longingly?" Lily asked, still smiling. James joined in the smiling too.
"Is it because he always has a girlfriend so he's always taken?" Lily chuckled softly.
"No Remus. The reason girls stare at him that way is because he is also gay." Remus stared at Lily in disbelief. He shook his head.
"Your joking Lily. He can't be. He's as straight as an arrow. He- no, you two are just pulling a mean joke on me and it's highly not amusing." Lily still smiled at him
"No Remus. You see, girls have a sixth sense. A gay-dar. We know when someone is gay, but stay silent out of respect for the person. Every girl with eyes knows Sirius is gay."
"What!? So-"
"Yep. Every girl, or at least ones that aren't daft, know. Yes, even the Slytherin girls know Remus. But it's a law that girls must keep silent about the person until they come out in the open about it." Remus was speechless. He didn't know what to say. Did it mean that he stood a chance with Sirius?
Remus tried hard not to smile, but failed. James patted Remus' back.
"See Remus, now Lily and I get the pleasure of playing matchmaker." Remus looked up at the two, his smile fading.
"Sirius has a girlfriend you guys! She won't give him up, she's a bloody controlling Hufflepuff!" James and Lily laughed with Remus.
"Oh true, how very true! Don't worry Remus, between the smartest witch here and the king of Slyness, we'll think of something!" James exclaimed.
Lily looked at James like he was a psycho. "Aren't the Slytherin's the sly ones?"
"No Lily, they're the greasy, whore gits!" Lily frowned and shook her head. Remus laughed and stood up.
"Don't stay up too late you two, I'm off to bed."
"Night Mooney!"
"Good Night Remus!" Remus waved them a good night and made his way up the stairs. Lily and James immediately set off to work.
Remus entered the boys' dorm to see Sirius fast asleep.
i He looks so peaceful. Gods is he gorgeous.i
Remus sighed and got into bed and quickly fell into an uneasy sleep.
"No!" Sirius sat up and looked around. He had a dream. It was him and Mooney and they, they, they were... kissing. Sirius felt his shirt stick to his back from sweat. Looking over at Mooney who was sleeping, Sirius let out a long sigh. What scared Sirius the most was that he really, really needed a cold shower, now.
The next day Sirius hurried down to breakfast. What was wrong with him? Since when did he ever feel that way towards Remus? Sirius was lost in his confused thoughts, when he ran into another person.
"Bloody Gryffindors." Looking up, Sirius watched Severus pass him. He could hear him muttering more curses about Gryffindors under his breath.
"Scourgify!" Sirius yelled, wand pointed directly at Severus' hair. Pink bubbles created lather in his hair and an invisible brush scrubbed away. Smirking as he watched Severus try to run away from the invisible brush, he turned and walked into the Great Hall.
Grabbing some toast and orange juice, Sirius got lost in more thoughts and memories.
Can't wait till tonight. It'll be the most fun ever! With Halloween coming up we can make loads more noise in the "Shrieking Shack." I remember the first time we showed Mooney us transforming. He had a look of disbelief written all over his face. I thought he was going to cry from happiness. He apologized over and over again for not telling us and thinking that was would leave him. He thanked us and told us that it was the best thing that ever happened to him. I wonder, will he ever start thanking us?
Remus opened up one eye part way, saw sunlight and quickly closed his eye again.
"Damn you morning. Damn you and your evil brightness," Remus muttered as he grabbed an extra pillow and threw it over his face.
"Mooney? Mooney, do you want me to bring up some food for ya?"
"Sure James."
"Remus?" He recognized Lily's voice and sat up.
"Lily? What are you doing in the boys' dorm?" Lily smiled.
"Well, I finished Sirius' costume. Now I need to start on yours." Sighing, Remus stretched out his arms and back and slowly got out of bed.
Lily grabbed a tape measurer and pointed her wand at it. Muttering a complicated charm with even more complicated wrist movements, the measurer shot up and began taking measurements of everything while Lily wrote them down.
After a minute, Lily smiled and grabbed the measurer which went limp at her touch and raced down the steps happily.
"I wonder what she's making?" James grinned evilly.
"Oh trust me Mooney, you'll just love it. I'll be back with food." Lupin nodded as he once again lay down into his bed.
James walked down to the Great Hall but stopped. In front of him stood a very pissed Severus. James, confused as to why, tilted his head.
"Something's different about you today Snivellus." Severus grinned like a maniac and walked up to James.
"Really Potter?" Said Severus, "Really? Well no shit Sherlock. Thank Black for it." James looked at him closer, his eyes widened. He stepped back and let out a loud, long laugh.
"Oh god! I can't believe it! Oh, oh I can't breath! I can't breath!" Severus took off, still angry, in fact, angrier than he just was. James laughed his way into the Great Hall. Only when he sat down, did he begin to breath normally again. Sirius looked at him oddly.
"You okay James?"
"YOU WASHED HIS HAIR!" James laughed again, now tears were forming in the corner of his eyes. Sirius quickly realized what James was laughing at and laughed with him.
"Now if we do that at least once a week, he'll never be greasy again," James said, trying and failing to act serious. Sirius snorted, trying to hold back laughter.
"No, the grease will end up becoming immune to the spell after a few weeks of it." The two boys could no longer hold it back and laughed once more. They couldn't control it. Everyone in the hall was starting to stare at them.
After a few minutes, the laughter died down and he grabbed an extra plate.
"Need to bring Mooney some food, then we force him to go to the hospital wing till night." Sirius nodded and got up.
"I'll meet you up there." James nodded and started eating.
Sirius only reached the entrance of the hall when he heard his name spoken by two different people.
Turning around in a circle he saw Lily and Jennifer. Jennifer spotted Lily and narrowed her eyes at her.
"Morning Evans." Lily stopped and looked at Jennifer, eyes also narrowed.
"Morning Martian. Sirius, I finished you costume and I need you to-"
"He can do that later," Jennifer interrupted, still glaring at Lily.
Lily looked amazed. "Look Jen, I don't care if your jealous but I need to make sure it fits so that I can begin on Remus'." Sirius watched Jennifer shoot daggers at Lily, but Lily just ignored it.
"It'll a minute Jen chill." Jennifer's eyes widened for a moment before becoming slits once more.
"I see. Have fun," Jennifer said coldly before turning on her foot and walking back other to the Hufflepuff table.
Lily smiled and dragged Sirius into a room half filled with sewing items. Grabbing a black garment, she tossed to Sirius who caught it with one hand.
"Go try this on." Sirius obeyed and reappeared three minutes later, frowning.
"Whey did I agree to this?" Lily smiled
"It's cute. Now let me pin up some of the material and take it in a bit so I can fix it for you." Sirius nodded and waited a few minutes.
James climbed the steps to the boys' dorm and opened the door to see Remus fast asleep.
"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!" Remus jumped up at James' voice.
"Could you do that any louder?" Remus asked annoyed. James nodded his head and walked over to his bed.
"Here ya go Mooney. Breakfast and then off to the hospital wing you go." Remus nodded and began eating his eggs quickly. James stared at Remus for a while.
"So, you really like him?" Remus looked up as he drank some orange juice.
"If you mean Sirius then yes." James nodded and smiled.
"Cool. For how long?"
"A few years."
"Really?"
"Yep."
Sirius walked out of the extra classroom a little annoyed.
"Why the bloody hell did I agree?" Lily laughed and walked up next to him.
"Because you had no costume and you never imagined James and I could be so cruel and evil." Sirius looked at Lily shocked.
"You mean, it was James' idea? He's the git behind this all!?" Lily nodded her head happily.
"You catch on quickly my friend." Lily and Sirius quietly made their way up the stairs to the common room. "So why do you like Jen?" This caught him off guard.
"I don't know." Lily smiled.
"Really? Then I guess you won't mind if I experiment something would you?" Sirius shook his head. Lily smiled more and walked faster.
Remus and James walked out of the common room to see Lily and Sirius coming around the corner.
"To the hospital wing?" James asked.
"To the hospital wing!" The others cried.
Around eight o'clock, James, Peter, and Sirius got the invisibility robe and marauder's map and quickly walked out to the entrance hall.
"Ready?" James asked. Peter and Sirius nodded their heads and they quietly opened the door.
Racing through a light rain, the three made their way to the tree. Throwing off the cloak, they transfigured and Peter went up and touched the knot in the tree, which froze it. They raced in and were out of sight.
Through out the night, people in Hogsmeade stayed away from the shack, fearing that the spirits were unhappy and in a very bad mood.
