Wow I updated within a month! GO ME! Dances around happily Well it would've been done sooner if the opening scene didn't require some thinking and, eventually, re-writing. Glares at muse for taking its time

On the fantastic word smelt….according to my fantasmagological dictionary, my A grade best friend, my insane fellow fanfiction writer and my grandmother I can conclude that smelt is a, yes a, past of smell. The other being smelled. I don't know, maybe smelt is a Yorkshire thing grins rock on Yorkshire!

About the girl messing with Sirius's hair…. Looks at Sirius in question Yes, yes he did stop her, but we didn't see that scene.

On clichéness…..I can't help it, but something totally unexpected will be thrown in later on. Smiles innocently I'm not saying what though.

I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed, you guys had me on a high for two days!

Thoughts

Adopts Soap opera voice that Lykaios Nyx used and now, on with the next episode of Torn.

Sirius was sat in the Quidditch stands, completely oblivious to the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin that was being played in front of him. Instead, his thoughts were on his brown hair lycanthrope friend. Sirius silently wondered, not for the first time the morning, why Remus had left the main hall in such a hurry. Sirius had decided against following, it looked as though Remus could use some time alone to think. He had looked rather distracted throughout breakfast.

I wonder what's on his mind. Sirius frowned thoughtfully, he was sure it wasn't Rebecca. Remus hadn't looked at her as much as he used to throughout the meal. Was he thinking about me? His heart fluttered at the thought, but Sirius ruthlessly quelled it. No. he was probably thinking of some other girl. He sighed unhappily and rubbed his eyes.

"Sirius, are you alright?" asked Lily in concern.

Sirius jumped. "Huh? Oh. Yeah, yeah I'm fine." He smiled reassuringly at her.

Lily raised an elegant eyebrow. "Sirius, you've not been paying attention at all during this match."

"I have." He interrupted.

"Ok, what's the score?"

"Uh…it's…" Lily smirked and Sirius glared at her. "Alright, fine. I haven't been paying attention. So what?"

Lily opened her mouth to reply, nut the stands erupted into cheers as Gryffindor scored. She stood and pulled Sirius to his feet. "Come on, let's go and talk someplace quieter than here." She shouted in his ear and led him away from the cheering crowds.

When they were clear of the Quidditch pitch she turned to him. "So, are you going to tell me what's on your mind?"

Silence.

"Sirius?" When he didn't respond again she sighed, then smiled as an idea came to her. "Alright, I'll guess what's upset Sirius so." He looked questioningly at her and she smiled innocently back. "Sirius is so in love with someone that he can't focus on anything." He stopped in mid-step. She grinned and stepped in front of him. "Aha! I thought so! Who is it, Siri?"

Sirius folded his arms. "I'm not at liberty to say."

"It's Remus, isn't it?" she asked, bluntly.

Sirius' mouth dropped open. "How…what…meh?"

Lily laughed and linked arms with him, setting off towards the castle. "Well it wasn't that hard to guess. I've been watching you for a while because you've been so quiet lately. You're always looking at him and you were the first one to step in and comfort him when he broke up with Rebecca, among other things." She smiled at him. "The signs were all there, dear."

Sirius bit his lip. "Does anyone else know?"

"I don't think so. I haven't told anyone and I'm sure James would've approached you by now if he knew. So it looks like it's just you and me."

Sirius sighed in relief and smiled gratefully at her. "Thanks Lils."

She shrugged it's not my business to tell, but what is my business is what you're going to do about it."

He frowned and looked at her. "Do?"

Lily sighed in frustration; men were such cowards at times. "Yes, do. You have to tell him."

"Whoa, wait a minute!" he stopped walking and turned to look Lily in the eye. "I can't tell him! It'll make things awkward between us! I don't want to loose his friendship."

"Sirius, for all you know he could love you too. All he might need is to hear it from you."

"But…"

"You'll never know if you don't say something." She smiled reassuringly.

Sirius opened his mouth to reply, but closed it and shook his head. When Lily wanted something done, you could guarantee that it would be done. There really was no point in arguing any further. He glared at her. "Damn you and your stubbornness!"

Lily smirked, slipped her arm in his and proceeded to lead him to Gryffindor Tower. They eventually made it, after much dragging of heels and protests on Sirius' part. He was still protesting when they stopped in front of The Fat Lady, who gave the pair an amused look.

Ignoring Sirius, Lily straightened his shirt and combed his hair. "You'll be fine, just be your charming self." She looked over him critically, then nodded in satisfaction and pushed him into the common room. "I'll be here if you need me, ok?" he nodded "Well, what are you waiting for? Get a move on!"

Oblivious to what was happening downstairs, Remus was sat thinking over what had happened at Breakfast. His earlier attempts at homework lying forgotten behind him as he worked his way through his confusing thoughts, trying to figure out his new feelings towards Sirius.

It can't be love, it's just not possible. Male wolves don't mate with other male wolves, so unless Sirius is secretly female, these feelings aren't attraction. The wolf is just confused at Rebecca's absence. But then Remus remembered the possessive growl at Breakfast. He sighed and buried his head in his hands. He was so confused.

"Remus?" Sirius felt his nervousness disappear and be replaced by concern at the sight of his love with his head in hands. When Remus didn't react to his presence, Sirius hurriedly crossed the room and knelt in front of him. "Remus, what's wrong?" he took Remus' hands in his own and gently lowered them so that he could look Remus in the face.

Their eyes locked. Sirius opened his mouth to ask him, again, what was wrong, but found himself moving closer to Remus. Before he realised what had happened, Sirius felt his lips on Remus'. His brain shut down and his instincts took over. He pressed his lips closer to Remus' and skilfully used his tongue to open Remus' mouth. His tongue explored the forbidden territory of Remus' mouth gently, but thoroughly, not noticing when Remus tensed. He did notice when Remus pulled away and gasped at the sudden change.

Sirius' eyes widened when he realised what he had done. Oh shit. He looked up at Remus, who was looking away. Sirius swallowed thickly and let go of Remus' hands. "I'm sorry, Remus." His eyes misted over and he stood up. "I never meant to. Forgive me." He quickly left the room as his tears began to fall.

Sirius stumbled through the portrait hole and walked past a confused Lily. "Sirius?" she called out and frowned when he ignored her. "Sirius, wait!" she ran after him and grabbed his arm to spin him round to face her. She pulled him into her arms when she saw his tears and he broke down on her shoulder. "Honey, what happened?"

"I'm a bloody fool!" he choked out through his tears. He pulled away from her and wiped his eyes.

Lily fished around in her pockets and handed him a tissue she found in one of them. She waited until he calmed down. "What happened, Siri?"

He sniffed. "I kissed him before I could say anything, I didn't mean to! It just happened! Anyway he…he pushed me away." Sirius swallowed down his tears. "How stupid do you get? I'm an idiot!"

Lily tucked a stray lock of black hair behind his ear. "You're not an idiot, Siri. You probably took him by surprise, that's all."

Sirius looked up into her confident Emerald eyes. "But he pushed me away. He'll never talk to me again." He sighed. "I'm off to the kitchens. Thanks for trying, Lils."

Lily sighed as she watched Sirius' defeated figure disappear down the stairs to the kitchen. This is all my fault! She bit her lip. I know Remus likes Sirius, I'm sure of it! She walked back to Gryffindor Tower. He's probably confused after the kiss. I'll just have to talk to him. She smiled. I'll have Sirius and Remus together by the end of the week.

Lily gave the password to a confused looking Fat Lady and prepared herself for a long talk with Remus. She only hoped that she wasn't too late.

Ahhhh…let's hope that Lily can sort things out and convince Remus that he really does love Sirius! Hides behind keyboard I can't help it if Remus is in denial and Sirius does rash things! Really, I can't! It'll be right…I hope.

I hope the kiss scene was ok, I've never written one like that before.
