Chapter Four: Confessions
Sirius sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Remus looked around and sighed. They were locked in a small closet thing together, with no wands, no way of getting help, and were in very close contact with each other.
"Looks like we're stuck together," Sirius said sliding down to the floor. Remus nodded and sat down next to him.
"So, you said that you needed to tell me something Sirius?" Sirius looked up and nodded his head.
"Yeah, but, it'll be hard to say really. Not sure where to start." Remus looked confused and sat opposite of Sirius. Taking a deep breath, Sirius looked into Remus' eyes and smiled. "I don't know if you'll even believe me being the jester I am."
"Try me," Remus said smiling back.
"Well let's see, it all began when Jen's presence was annoying, then when I lied to her. I remember the shock it gave me as well," Sirius said with his eyes closed. Remus stared at him; butterflies seemed to be sumo wrestling in his stomach.
Flash Back
Sirius sat on his bed smiling. He had figured out what was wrong. He figured out why everything felt different. He had realized that he was gay. Unlike the muggle world, the wizarding world was way more open about gay people. Now the only thing he had to worry about was if Remus liked him as well. "Only one way to find out."
End Flash Back
"Look Remus, I like you," Sirius said opening his eyes and staring at Remus.
"I like you too Sirius, you're a great friend, now what do you want to say?" Remus asked, staring at Sirius. "Are you and Jen back together?" He added sounding disappointed.
"No Remus, Jen and I are not back together. And I don't mean as a friend Remus. I want you as my boyfriend. I want our relationship to go beyond our friendship." Remus looked like he was going to explode from happiness.
"Really? No joke? So if I told you now that I felt the same way then-"
"I'd jump up, hug you, and probably dance for joy," Sirius responded.
"Then jump up, hug me, then dance," Remus said outstretching his arms. Sirius smiled widely, jumped up, and hugged Remus.
"Just one more dance James!" Lily called as James made his way back to the table.
"Lily, if I dance anymore, I'll probably die from exhaustion. How girls can keep dancing, I'll never know," James called as he sat next to Peter who was staring up at the ceiling. 'Eight Days A Week' began playing and Lily began to complain.
"Come on James! This is my favorite song!" James shook his head.
"No thanks I'll just sit here with- hey! Where are Sirius and Remus?" James said looking around. Peter looked up and sighed, as if bored with the whole night.
"They went on some walk together. Said they'd be back by ten." James looked down at his watch. It was quarter till eleven.
"Lily, I'll dance with you to this last song and then we go look for Sirius and Remus okay?" Lily nodded her head and dragged James out to the dance floor.
Remus and Sirius sighed. They were sitting down on the floor. Sirius had his arm wrapped around Remus protectively and his other hand was twirling a piece of Remus' hair in his fingers.
"You've got soft hair Mooney. Tell me, what's your secret?" Sirius whispered into Remus' ear.
"I shall never tell you my secret. Never!" Remus protested strongly. Laughing softly, Sirius nodded.
"Okay, don't bite my head off over it. I wonder what I'll tell Snivellus." Remus turned his head to look at Sirius.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have said anything. That'll be excellent," Sirius said happily.
"Oh yes, that will be a pleasant one. ' Severus! Thank you so much for helping get Remus and me together! I shall always thank you for this!' He'll hate that," Remus said as he closed his eyes and drifted off into a light slumber.
James dragged Lily away from the dance floor and found Peter.
"Ready to go hunt for our two MIAs?" James asked. Peter nodded and Lily slowly nodded her head. James smiled and marched out of the Great Hall to find them.
"They could not have gone far," Lily said looking around. James nodded and searching. Peter bent over and picked up two wands.
"These are their wands you guys!" James and Lily turned around to see Peter holding up two wands.
"Search the rooms!" James declared as he began to open random doors. Lily joined in and Peter grabbed hold of a door handle and pulled.
"Hey! This door won't open! Alohamora!" Peter said quickly trying the spell. Nothing.
"Go get Professor Dumbledore, Peter!" Lily said rushing over to the door. Peter quickly ran to find Dumbledore.
About three minutes later, Dumbledore arrived with Peter following behind him.
"What's the problem?" Dumbledore asked, eyes shinning brightly.
"Well, we believe that Sirius and Remus are locked in this closet, we can't open it sir," Lily said looking from the door to Professor Dumbledore. Nodding his head understandingly, we raised one hand and moved it in and 'x' shape across the door. A small click could be heard. Lily quickly opened the door. The light poured into the closet to reveal a half-asleep Remus and Sirius holding him in his arms.
"Sirius, turn off that bloody light," Remus said tiredly. Sirius nodded and opened his eyes to see James, Lily, Peter, and Dumbledore standing there, smiling.
"Professor!" Sirius said standing up quickly and pushing aside Remus accidentally. "This isn't what, well, actually, it is what it looks like, but it's all SNAPE'S fault!" Remus got up quickly and straightened out his costume.
"Oh yes, it is Severus' fault. Let's see, how about ten points to Slytherin? Yes, I think that shall do." Remus looked at James' smiling face.
"What's so funny James?"
"So, how far did you two go?" Sirius glared at James, Lily blushed, Peter squeaked, Dumbledore smiled, and Remus joined Lily in blushing.
"Get your ruddy mind out of that gutter that it has been so keen on living in recently," Remus said pushing his way past James and making his way up to Gryffindor. This site immediately got Sirius laughing. Watching someone get angry while wearing a cute werewolf costume, then marching away, was just funny. Remus turned to see Sirius dying of laughter.
"Shove off Padfoot." Sirius stopped laughing and caught up to Remus.
"Hey, don't take it serious. I mean it's not like I was laughing at you."
"Really? Well, you weren't laughing with me either," Remus, said stomping upstairs. Sirius sighed, caught up, and wrapped an arm around Remus.
"I think someone's cranky and needs a nice nap!" Remus smiled and nodded. Sirius intertwined his fingers with Remus' and the two walked up to the Gryffindor common room together.
"Well James, I believe our match maker days have come to a close," Lily said looking at James.
"Can-Can we still talk to each other?" James asked nervously. Lily smiled at James.
"Of course, we're friends now." Lily leaned over and kissed James on his cheek, "Thanks for dancing with me tonight. That meant a lot to me." James nodded as a small reddish tint spread over him. Lily giggled and walked up the stairs.
"Well, I believe you've all figured out your problems." James and Peter turned to see Dumbledore returning to the ball. "Don't stay up too late you two. I must return to this ball and bring it to a closes soon."
"Good night Professor," the two boys said happily.
"Good night boys."
