Chapter seven.
It was well past one in the morning when Remus finally returned to the Gryffindor common room. When he arrived he found Lily sitting in a chair staring at the fireplace. She looked up towards him and their eyes locked for only a brief second until Remus heard his name called from the other side of the room. He tore his eyes away from Lily feeling as though he was tearing his heart right out of his body, on the other side of the common room he seen James, Sirius and Peter sitting in their regular spot. James and Sirius were having a game of chess, while Peter was watching excitedly. Remus walked over to them shooting one more, quick glance in Lily's direction before sitting down to join his friends.
"Hey mate, where 'ave you been?" asked Sirius, looking at Remus he realized how tired he looked and he knew that something was wrong. Sirius always could tell when someone in the group was felling down or depressed.
"Ya, we were worried about you." James said also looking at Remus and seeing how tired and worn out he looked. James although kind didn't have the same talent as Sirius did for sensing others emotions, thought maybe Remus had just had to late of a night. "You look like you could use some sleep mate, you better go up to bed before you pass out right here."
"Your right, I'll do that," Remus said getting up, "thanks a lot you guys." With that he left the common room. His head was still spinning with thoughts of Lily and how he had hurt her; he kept seeing images of what James would do if he had found out. Remus just shook his head and as he laid down on his bed he thought to himself, "No one shall ever know, I'll forget it all and pretend it never happened.
