Annnd… Chapter Three. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I love you all dearly. Sorry this took so long. Oh, and if anyone has noticed, all the chapter names are now songs. hehehe. this one is Falling For You by Taking Back Sunday.

"You're lying." James said firmly, staring at his eggs instead of Sirius. He refused to admit that Sirius had seen Remus and Lily together. "I know you're lying. Lily is very full of Ravenclaw pride; she would never go out with someone out of the house."

"You aren't in her house either." Sirius said exasperatedly, taking a small sip of his pumpkin juice. Hopefully he could keep this conversation going, so James wouldn't start asking about the details of how he managed to sneak down to the dungeons to see any of this at all.

"Shut up!" James whined, tearing apart bits of toast with more strength than needed. Sirius watched him, hoping he would bring it up again. Thankfully, James was self-centered enough to do so.

"But… She was mine. Everyone knows that." James said pathetically, letting the tiny pieces of toast fall to his plate. Sirius took another sip of pumpkin juice, and swilled it in his mouth while pondering his response.

"Well, I guess Remus doesn't care. Most of the guys here are afraid enough of you to back off, but he isn't." Sirius said finally. James glared at him suspiciously.

"Since when do you even call him Remus? You're always talking about how much you hate Lupin, Lupin is such an annoying twit!" James spat. Sirius stared back at him emotionlessly.

"Well, Remus is his name." Sirius said vaguely, looking down interestedly at the bacon on his plate.

"Whatever. I'm going to pay a visit to your little Remus. Teach him to… Well, no one should be near Lily except me." James said angrily, glaring in the direction of the Slytherin table.

"Wait, where is he?" James asked, scanning the Slytherin table curiously. Sirius didn't even have to look up.

"Ravenclaw table, next to your Lily." He mumbled. James turned bright red. "And don't get into a fight with Remus."

James looked at him sharply. "Are you ordering me around?"

Sirius looked at him blandly. "No, but if you beat up all of the teacher's favorite little student, you're going to get in loads of trouble. I'm just keeping an eye out for you."

James snorted. "Well, go look out for someone else. Like your dear Remus, because he's going to need it."

Sirius felt a little hysterical as James stalked off. He could hear Remus's laughter echoing from the Ravenclaw table.

Remus looked at his schedule absently. He had a free block next, but Lily had Herbology. She gave him a kiss good-bye and headed off. He smiled contentedly. She was so pretty. Prettier than Black, that was for sure.

Said Black was watching him. Remus had turned his head just so that his eyes were caught by Black's, and trapped. They were frozen like that for what felt like an eternity, and then Black looked away with a faint flush.

Remus rolled his eyes and rose from the Ravenclaw table. He had a Charms essay to finish.

As quickly as he could, Remus walked out of the room. But as he passed the Gryffindor table, he tripped over something, and fell sprawling to the floor.

Remus raised his fingers to his split lip, and then looked to see what he had tripped on. It was Black's foot. Remus growled in the back of his throat and stood up hastily. Titters from all the tables echoed around him.

"Watch your step, Lupin." Black said smugly. Remus wanted to knock the look off his face, but somehow restrained himself. As coolly as he could manage, Remus collected his dropped things and walked out of the hall. He could feel the blood dripping down his chin, but it just made him feel more foolish, rather than some sort of grizzly fighter. Black had tripped him, and he had fallen.

Sirius watched as Remus walked away. He waited a minute or so, and then followed. He had time- he had a free spot right now.

As quietly as he could, Sirius caught up to Remus, who was slithering up the stairs towards the library. Sirius wanted to get his attention, like he had in the Great Hall.

"Hey, hey! Lupin!" Sirius heard himself shout. Remus turned around, saw who was calling him, and then continued up the stairs as if nothing had happened.

Sirius sighed and leapt up the stairs until he was walking right next to Remus. Still, however, he was ignored.

"Loony Lupin…" Sirius cooed. Remus still didn't respond. They were at the landing now, which gave Remus the chance to make a beeline away from Sirius. However, Remus continued walking at the same pace, totally ignoring Sirius.

Frustrated, Sirius gave Remus a nice hard shove into a thick stone wall. Remus recovered quickly, and finally gave Sirius a reaction.

"What is your problem?" Remus snarled.

"You!" Sirius snapped back.

Annnnd… cliffhanger. I have some evil plans for the next chapter. Bwuha.
