Cheated -Chapter 3:
The next morning Remus woke up and went into the Great Hall for breakfast hoping that Sirius wouldn't be there. He looked around and found that only about seventeen students were in there Sirius not included, but James and Peter were there. He walked over and sat next to James with Peter across from them.
"Hey you guys, sorry if I worried you I was just not up to sleeping in a room with him," said Remus rather gloomily and tired.
"It is alright, we are mad at him too, I can't believe he would do that to you, it is just wrong!" James went on ranting about him, not noticing the depressed Remus right next to him. When he finally looked over at him he got quiet and said apologetically, "sorry, just ignore him and he will leave you alone."
"That is exactly what I am going to" he said. James and Peter nodded their heads in agreement, while Remus kept on sending nasty looks over at Salina.
Sirius never came to breakfast that day he was in the kitchens eating until he could hardly move and then fell asleep sitting up. He didn't go to any classes because he was too tired and felt too guilty.
The rest of they day went by slowly, Remus was depressed, Sirius avoided everyone, James stayed with Remus and Peter fallowed them around, and Salina went on as normal without even knowing what happened between the Marauders.
:::::::::::The Next Day in Tutoring:::::::::::
"Hey, Severus, ready?"
"Yes, Lupin, and what happened to you? And why do you call me by my first name?" said Severus noticing the dark rings and the pale complexion of Remus' skin.
"If you really want to know… Sirius cheated on me and I call you by your first name because I don't have any reason to not dislike you, besides the fact that my friends absolutely hate you." said Remus rather out of it.
Severus was completely shocked, he never thought that this would happen he felt sorry for Remus because Sirius hurt him but was happy that he may actually get a chance with Remus. But he would never do such a thing to him as Black did. "So I take it you two finally broke up?"
"Yes and we are never getting back together again, we may be friends once more, but I refuse to go out with him again." Remus said.
"Do you like anyone else perchance?" said Severus with hope in his eyes that Remus wasn't able to see.
"Oh, no one in particular at the moment." Remus said putting the bird's intestines in their new potion that they were working on.
All hope that Severus was holding was lost. "Oh, oh okay" he said disappointedly.
Remus caught the disappointed look and asked, "What? Do you know anyone who likes me or something?"
"Ummm, no not that I know of."
"Really, because you looked kinda disappointed when I said that," Remus noted.
"…well I know someone but I can't tell" Severus blushed.
"Well can you give me a hint? Is it someone I know?"
"Um…a … yes you know him."
"Come on please tell me I really want to know," Remus whined giving the dark haired boy the puppy dog eyes that no one can resist.
"Uh…um…sorry I cannot tell you, maybe some other time." Severus looked away as they just finished their potion. "So, when do you want to meet next? How about in two days same time?"
"Ummm, well I can't in two days, sorry, I have something do on that day, how about four days, same time." Remus said uneasily.
"Alright, in four days then," Severus said ignoring Lupin' uneasiness, opening the door for the werewolf, "after you."
"Thanks, you're so kind," Remus said blinking. 'He really is not as bad as others think; wait was I just flirting with him? No he was flirting with me first!" shaking off his thoughts he walked out of the room, Severus fallowing close behind.
"Thank you Severus, see you later?"
"Yes, see you later." And they parted ways to there suitable common rooms.
When the werewolf got to the common room lost in his thoughts of the past couple of days, he was interrupted by James, "Where have you been? We have been looking all over for you."
Remus had forgotten that he didn't tell any of his friends that he is being tutored by Severus and he was going to keep it that way. "Um, nowhere." He said.
"…sure, but Sirius wanted to…" James didn't get to finish his sentence because Remus interrupted him.
"I don't want to talk to him, where is he any way?"
"He's upstairs, but I really think you should talk to him."
"Why? We are over, and we are never getting back together again. I don't even want to see him, good bye." Remus said sadly as he turned to go.
"Wait! Where are you going to go, you can't just leave, someone could find you." James called.
"…um I don't know…" just then Sirius came down from the dorm rooms.
"Hey, Rem, uh, could I talk to you?" Remus turned around and began to walk out of the common room through the portrait hole. "Aw, come on Remus, don't leave, please forgive me? I promise I won't do it again." Sirius said fallowing Remus. "Please, why can't you forgive me?"
"…"
"Please, just let me explain, I just want to talk things through."
"…Sirius just shut up I don't want to talk to you or hear your lame excuses." Remus said on the verge of tears.
"… Rem, please," the dark haired boy begged.
"No, I said go away and shut up, I don't want to see you." Sirius was not going to give up that easy, so he ran in front of Remus with tears running down his pale cheeks and grabbed his shoulders.
"I am so sorry; I promise I won't do it again!" Sirius pleaded.
"Don't touch me!" Remus jerked himself out of Sirius' grip and ran down the hall to the same classroom as before. Sirius thankfully didn't fallow him. 'How could he expect me to forgive him for cheating on me for the whole summer so easily, I trusted him. If he wants me to forgive him he must prove to me that I can once again trust him!' He thought as he cut into his arm with the same knife as before, letting his blood drip all over the floor. It was already 2:00am by the time he finally fell asleep.
After the fight with his ex-boyfriend Sirius went back to the dorm wondering if he should or should not go with Remus to the shack on the full moon. There was no telling what he might do to him in wolf form. He decided not to because he knew his Remus wouldn't appreciate it. He wanted his Moony back. He then walked into the common room once more and found James there sitting again. "Well? How did it go?" James said when he spotted his friend.
"He won't even let me even talk to him, I'm going to bed, good night Prongs." Sirius said as he left the common room and went up the stairs to the dormitory.
:::::::::::The next day:::::::::::
Tonight was the full moon and Remus was really tired so he slept pass breakfast causing his friends to worry. When he finally got up he had already missed a few classes. It was time to go to Transfiguration with the strict Professor McGonagall, he was sure to get detention. He got up from the stone floor of the old classroom and cleaned up all of his drying blood including his wrist and forearm. He then went to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom to wash his face and finger comb his sandy blonde hair that had premature grey streaks in it. He then began walking to Transfiguration.
When he got there class had already started about ten minutes ago. He pulled down his sleeves so no one can see his cuts and scars and walked in. He didn't have his supplies but he was sure that James or Peter would share with him.
"You are late Mr. Lupin, I would have never expected this of you, but I will have to take a few points off and give you a detention tonight." Professor McGonagall said sternly. Then she realized the look Remus was giving her and said, "Oh, sorry I had forgotten, tomorrow then, at nine. Now take your seat." McGonagall noted that the full moon was tonight.
"Thank you, ma'am," he said and looked around and realized that the only open seats were next to Sirius and Severus. He looked at his friends and then sat next to Severus who was slightly surprised by his actions but still happy that he sat next to him.
The other Marauders gave Severus a nasty look, not believing that Remus would rather sit with their rival than with them.
"Okay class, now get to work, and mister Snape would you please explain what we are doing to mister Lupin?" said the Professor.
"Yes ma'am," said Severus. He turned to Lupin, whispering, "Why aren't you sitting with your friends Remus?"
"Because I don't want to see Sirius, can I hang with you for a while? Hey and you finally called me by my first name." Remus smiled.
"Yes, well it is your name isn't it? And yes I guess you can hang with me for a while if you would like." Said Severus rather shyly, glad that Remus is actually willing to talk to him.
Over at the other Marauders table James whispered to Sirius, "Since when did Remus get along with Snivellus?"
"I don't know and I don't like it one bit."
"Just look at him he is enjoying himself, how could he," James said in a hurt voice. But what they did not know was that Remus heard them with his better hearing than everyone every one else, so close to the full moon.
:::::::::::Later a Half an Hour Before the Full Moon:::::::::::
Remus was about to leave the common room to go to the Shack when James and Peter ran up to him. "Hey are you going to let us come with you this time?" Said Peter.
"Sure as long as he is not coming, the wolf is not very happy with him at the moment." Remus said sadly, he did not like to talk about Sirius.
"Um he wasn't going to come anyway; he didn't think it would be a very good idea. But you can't keep on ignoring him like this he is going to go mad and maybe even do something he is going to regret." said James.
"Whatever, now are you coming with me?" Remus said impatiently. They didn't say anything they just fallowed.
When they got down to the Whomping Willow Peter transformed into his Animagus form and went to the tree to hit the knot. The tree froze and they went in through the hole in the trunk.
Once they were in the Shack Remus made James and Peter turn around when he undressed as his cloths don't grow with him when he transforms. A few minutes later the moon touched his soft skin and he began his painful transformation.
:::::::::::The Next Morning:::::::::::
Remus woke up and he felt the pain from the transformations right away. James rushed over and gave him his clothes. "It looks like you cut your arms on something, I don't remember when that happened but you did well the rest of the time without hurting yourself." He said.
Remus quickly hid his arms in the sleeves of the shirt he had just put on, knowing full well that those were not from his night as the wolf. "Oh, well, lets go, I would like to get back to the castle to get some sleep." Remus said.
"Of course, now come on Peter." James said as he was walking out the door into the tunnel of the Whomping Willow, Peter hurried in after them.
When the got to infirmary Poppy came in quick, "Oh, you got a little scratched up, you have been doing so good, well, come in take a seat on the bed and I will be right back." She said and left.
"Well Moony, we'll see you later at lunch when you finally get some sleep, alright?" said Peter.
"Alright, see you later." Remus said tiredly. Poppy came back a second later and gave him a few pain killing potions and bandages to clean his cuts.
"Well Lupin, you are good to go to your dorm and get some rest, now sweet dreams."
"Thanks, bye" he said sweetly.
He walked all the way up to Gryffindor Tower very slowly, he was used to having Sirius help him up the stairs, and to snuggle with after his transformations, but he was going to have to get used to his former lover not being there.
When he finally reached the portrait he said the password and went inside. The common room was completely empty besides the fact that Lily Evens was sleeping over her homework at her favorite table. He finally made it to his dorm that he had not slept in for a while James and Peter were fast a sleep and Sirius was too but he was dreaming of what? He did not know.
He was looking at his ex-lover between the slightly open curtains hanging around his bed. He decided that it was not a very good idea, as he would probably end up doing more damage to himself, oh how he wanted to join him in bed, and make love to him once more. But no, Sirius just had to go off with some other girl, Salina.
He shook those thoughts out of his head and went to lie on his comfortable soft bed. He laid there for a few moments before he went to sleep.
When Remus woke up at noon for lunch, he really didn't want to go down to the Great Hall, even though he had not eaten since lunch yesterday. But he promised to eat lunch with James and Peter. He quickly took a shower, tied his hair back in his usual ponytail and got dressed. He was finally ready to go down to breakfast knowing he was going to have to be in Sirius' presents no matter what.
When Remus got to the Great Hall he saw his friends in their usual spot. He quickly walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to James with Sirius across from them and Peter next to James. "Hey, guys."
"Hey." His fellow Marauders said in unison.
"So why did you sit next to Snivellus instead of us in Transfiguration yesterday?" said Peter who was usually quiet.
Remus thought real fast thinking of what to say. He was actually starting to really like Severus, but not just like him but like like him like he did Sirius, he just realized. "Um, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention. Sorry."
"No, no it's okay we understand." said James.
Sirius who had not said anything but 'hey' yet said, "but why were you laughing with Snivellus, I thought you didn't like him." forgetting that Remus wasn't talking with him.
Remus looked down at his plate picking at it, trying to ignore what Sirius just said. "Um, let's not talk about him anymore okay?"
"Sure" said James and Peter.
"Okay, well then let's talk about where you have been for the last few days! You never come to eat with us, you sleep who knows where, and you have been avoiding us, what is wrong?"
Remus couldn't believe that Sirius was saying this, wasn't it obvious? "…"
"Well are you going to answer me?" Sirius was getting impatient.
"…"
"Padfoot, just leave him alone, what is it with you?" said James getting angry.
"No, I want an answer and I am not going to 'just leave him alone' until I have one." Sirius said furiously.
Remus was looking down at his plate and not daring to look up, what was wrong with Sirius, he never gets like this unless he's really pissed.
"Hello I am talking to you?" Sirius said waving his hands in front of the sandy blondes face.
Remus was desperately trying his hardest not to bit Sirius' fingers that were in his face. Now was the time to speak before Sirius does or says something that he would regret. "Well…maybe if you didn't cheat on me I would like you a bit more, actually a lot more, but no Mr. Sirius Black former sex god of Hogwarts couldn't even stay with the same person for less than a year. Wouldn't you be mad if I cheated on you?"
"Yes, well I already said I'm sorry, and I still love you Remmy, please just give me another chance." Sirius pleaded.
"No, we are not getting back together, so stop asking! Would you still get mad if I just kissed some one right now, Siri?" Remus said with a grin.
"Well of course, I still love you," said Sirius, not getting what the werewolf was getting at.
"Then how would you like it if I did this?" Remus stood up from his table and walked over the Slytherin table.
"What is he doing?" asked James.
"I don't know," said Sirius.
And the next moment Remus was over at the Slytherin table whispering to Severus, "It means nothing" and kissed him on the lips long and passionately. At first Severus was too shocked that his crush was kissing him but then began to kiss back. Remus was now sitting on Severus' lap with his hands tangled in Severus' hair. Remus then licked and nibbled Severus' bottom lip asking for entrance, he gladly opened his mouth and soon enough they had to stop for air. "Thank you" Remus got up off of his lap and looked over at the Gryffindor table and realized that everyone was staring at him.
James and Peter looked completely shocked and Sirius just looked plain jealous and furious. Remus walked over to the exit and waited for Sirius, James, and Peter to come with him before he left.
"What the hell was that?" said Sirius outraged.
"That was just a kiss Padfoot." said Remus simply. "What? Did that piss you off Sirius? Don't you want to just hit something?"
Sirius looked down, Remus was right, it did hurt. Now he could truly see how much he had hurt his ex-lover.
"I am so sorry!"
"Sorry is not going to cut it this time." Remus turned to go.
"Wait; just…answer one question, please."
"What is it Sirius?" Remus said boring tone.
"Do you…you know? Really like Snape?" asked Sirius hoping to all god not.
Remus thought for a second, "No, Siri of course not." He lied.
"Okay good!" said Sirius, James and Peter in unison.
Remus shook his head and turned around going back to his dormitory, thinking about his kiss with Severus, it did mean something and I do like him. He was actually a pretty good kisser, about just as good as Sirius. Well he would talk to Severus tomorrow either in class or at tutoring. But now he had to get to detention with McGonagall.
