Cheated –Chapter 18:

When Dumbledore, Sirius, James, Peter, and Severus got to the Headmasters office, James and Sirius took some seats near the desk and Severus was slouched over another chair. As this has hardly anything to do with Peter so he went back to the Tower. When Albus took his seat in the main chair he looked angry. The students had never seen this old mad angry ever. "So who is anyone going to tell me what happened?" he asked. Silence fell, you could hear a pin drop it was so quiet.

It was like that for what seemed like forever when James said, "Well…are you going to tell him Sirius. I am sure you are cause of all this!"

"…um…It's all my fault." Sirius said but nothing more.

"What is all you fault? What did you do to cause all of this?" Dumbledore asked Sirius.

"I told Snape Remus' secret."

"And why would you do that? Did Remus want Mr. Snape to know?"

"No, he wanted him to figure it out himself or Remus was going to tell him on the last day of our seventh year." Sirius said. His ears were ringing and he was thinking about all the damage he has caused.

"So why did you tell Severus his secret, what were your approximate words?"

"Well…I told him that I wouldn't tell him Remus' secret but I would tell him how to find out. I told him how to get into the Whomping Willow."

"And what were you expecting to happen to Mr. Snape?" Dumbledore continued his questioning. He was not happy, he knew that Severus needed medical attention but he wanted to get this over with before Madam Pomfrey took his student away. He silently cast a healing charm that would only help to keep the pain away until Madam Pomfrey came to get him. Severus looked at him in confusion. Albus couldn't allow his student to suffer anymore than they have to.

Sirius broke him out of his train of thoughts, "I don't really know, I just wanted Snape to stay away from Remus."

"Aren't Mr. Snape and Mr. Lupin together?"

"Yes and I didn't like the idea, I don't think that Remus deserves that slimy greasy old git!"

"Mr. Black, please cease from calling him names, it's really not necessary."

"Fine, but I think Remus deserves someone better!" Sirius said beginning to stand up.

"Who? You?" Severus asked.

"I don't know, I don't even think I deserve him anymore! And don't talk to me!" Sirius said sitting back down.

"Okay, we are not getting any where at the moment. So James will you tell me what happened?" Dumbledore asked now looking at James.

James cleared his throat, "Well, I was just looking for Sirius with Peter and I found him in the Entrance Hall looking very nervous. So I asked him what was wrong and he told me that he told Snape how to get into the Whomping Willow. I freaked out and told Sirius and Peter to get you while I go and get Snape." James said, he lied about the just looking for Sirius part, they were really going to go meet Remus but he couldn't tell the headmaster that.

"So Remus told you guys how to get into the Whomping Willow? When?" Albus asked.

"Yes he did, last year. When Sirius, Peter, and I asked where he transformed he made us promise that we would never go down there on a full moon night. So we promised and he took us down there. We don't go there much, Remus doesn't like it and it's sort of creepy down there." James finished.

"So when you found Severus what was happening?"

"He was against the wall with a horror stricken face on and Remus was about to pounce on him. So I stunned Moony and grabbed Severus and we ran but as you know stunning a werewolf doesn't hold for long so he woke up and began to chase us. Snape and I jumped through the whole but I had forgotten about the tree and it attacked us. Snape got hit in the arm and I got a cut on my cheek." James said pointing at the cut wiping the blood off and rubbing it on his grass stained pants.

"So I guess that makes you a hero Mr. Potter." Albus smiled. "Mr. Snape do you agree with everything that was said that happened?"

"Yes, the story seems to fit. But I think that Potter, Pettigrew and Lupin were in on this trick." Severus accused. Sirius and James raised their eyebrow at what he just said.

"I was not in on this and neither was Remus. Do you really think that Remus would do this?" James asked.

"Well he didn't tell me about his lycanthropy!" Snape shouted, he felt betrayed, hurt, anger, and sadness. He couldn't believe that his lover, no ex-lover was a fucking werewolf! How could he have ever loved Lupin? He didn't ever want to see him again! He felt like crying but he would not allow himself to do so in front of two of his worst enemies and the headmaster.

"Well I assure you that Mr. Lupin and Mr. Potter were not in on this were they Mr. Black?"

"No! I was alone and Remus has been gone for a while so how were we supposed to make a plan like this? I made this all up by myself." Sirius snapped.

"Mr. Snape don't take this out on Mr. Lupin, he didn't do anything. Anyway I am very disappointed in you Mr. Black do you know what could have happened if Mr. Snape was bitten or killed?" Dumbledore looked at Sirius seriously.

"Um, no"

"He would first have to be expelled from this school as he is not allowed to even be here. Then he could have been sent to Azkaban or the Ministry of Magic could have slaughtered him or he could have been shot with a silver bullet. Do you really want that to happen to Mr. Lupin?"

Sirius visibly paled and he was shaking. He was not informed of when would happen should Remus bite someone or kill another. "Um, no, I had no idea. I didn't mean to tell Snape. It just slipped, I was just so angry! Damn!" Sirius slammed his fists on the desk. Remus would never forgive him.

"Watch you language! Now Mr. Black I want you to serve detention for two months and you have no more privileges for the rest of the year."

"Yes sir." Sirius said, he did not complain because he knew he deserved it and more. He thought that Dumbledore had let him off too easy. But he knew he was going to be punished by Remus and James enough. Sirius didn't think he could even look at Remus in the eye for at least a long time.

The Headmaster stood up, "You can leave to the hospital wing now as Severus and James needs to be looked at. Sirius take them there with out fighting with Severus on the way. But Mr. Snape, before you go, I need to ask you to please not tell anyone of Remus' condition."

Severus looked up and sighed, "Yes sir, I promise."

Sirius, James, and Severus all stood up and walked out of the Headmasters Office. The walk to the infirmary was a long and silent one. Everyone seemed to be thinking about what was to happen and what has happened. James and Sirius walked side by side like they always do but further away than usual. Severus just fallowed at a distance behind them caressing his arm. When they got there Madam Pomfrey came out and sent them to a bed each. She tended to Severus first which took quite some time. They were all still silent. When she got to James she just gave flicked her wand and the cut that was beginning to get infected. She gave him and Sirius a Sleeping draught and the two walked back to Gryffindor Tower. Severus had to stay the night to be closely watched.

James and Sirius were in the Gryffindor Tower and Peter was already asleep snoring loudly. "Sirius, I hope I am very pissed off at you right now?"

"Yes, I know." Sirius said softly. He felt horrible, how could he have done this to the one he loves. He regretted ever cheating on Remus. He hated himself for it; it's what caused all of this mess. When he was with Remus he was the happiest he had ever been but he had to ruin that. Well at least there is a chance that Snape could dump him; that would be great for Sirius.

James and Sirius got in their own beds and split half the sleeping draught as they wouldn't be able to sleep at all without it. They at least needed some sleep. But they were worried about Remus as they were not there last night he probably ripped himself up pretty bad. But they took the sleeping draught anyway because they needed their sleep.

A little after sun rise Madam Pomfrey went out to go get Remus to bring him back from the Shrieking Shack. When he was in the infirmary he was covered in blood. The werewolf had bit and scratched at himself for the rest of the night from not catching the human that was standing right in front of him. Severus saw him brought in and gasped; he didn't think that from just being a werewolf could do that much damage.

Madam Pomfrey laid him on one of the hospital beds close to Severus and cleaned him up and healed his bite and scratch marks. He slept there until 8:00am. When he woke up he felt pain unlike usual, it felt like before his friends had become Animagi. He looked around for his friends that would usually be there to ask what was wrong but when he opened his eyes he found no one but Severus looking at him a few beds over. He was confused. Why did he feel like this and why weren't his friends here? Did they not come last night? He decided to talk to his boyfriend, "Sev, what are you doing here?"

Severus looked like he wasn't going to answer but he looked over at Remus and said, "Don't even talk to me."

"W-what? What are you talking about, what's wrong?" Remus asked, did something happen, did Severus find out his secret? But Severus wouldn't talked to him he looked away and stared out the window.

A few minutes later the Hospital Wing doors flew open and Remus looked up to see who it was. It was Sirius, James, and Peter. James looked pissed and was the first to reach his bed; Sirius was second looking like he just saw a ghost, and Peter fallowing him looking scared. "What's going on you guys, something's wrong and I can't figure it out." Remus asked but no one said anything they just stood there. "What? Are you guys not talking to me either?" he asked close to tears, why was everyone acting strangely? He wanted to cry but he wouldn't allow himself.

Finally James spoke, "Sirius has something to tell you."

Sirius looked down twisting his hands in nervousness. "Um…"

"Don't even start this again Sirius; I am not in the mood for it." James said.

"Okay, um, Remus, I am really sorry but I told Snape how to get into the Whomping Willow…"

Remus' eyes widened and he looked over at Severus and began to breath really hard, "I-I didn't bite you did I?" he asked Severus shocked.

Severus didn't answer, he just looked away, so Sirius answered, "No, you bit no one, but you almost did."

"Then why is he in a Hospital Wing bed, what happened?" his face darkened.

"Snivellus and James got attacked by the tree and that's about it." Peter said.

The werewolf looked horrified and began to mutter "oh my god" a hundred time under his breath.

"I-I'm sorry Moony, I didn't mean for this to happen." Sirius said.

"Sorry is not enough Sirius! How could you? Do you know what could have happened to me if I killed Severus or bit him!" the amber eyed boy said. This had to be a dream, Sirius; his friend/ex-lover had betrayed him.

"Yes, I know sorry is not enough, I don't know how I could make it up to you, I don't think I ever could. And I now know what could happen if you did something to Snape, and I didn't know before, but Dumbledore told me and if I knew than I probably wouldn't have done it. I couldn't help myself." Sirius sighed, he was truly sorry.

"Why though Sirius? What have I done to deserve this?" Remus was one the edge of tears, he had never cried in front of his friends before and he didn't want to now, but he couldn't help but let a few tears drop.

"You have done nothing, it was all me and I feel so bad, I want to say I'm sorry, but I know you won't accept it, so I don't know what to say to you. I just wanted Snape to stay away from you, he doesn't deserve you, you deserve someone better. Not even me." He said the last sentence in a whisper.

Remus didn't know what to say so he didn't say anything. Finally after about five minutes of an uncomfortable silence Remus spoke to Sirius, "Go away."

"What?"

"I said go away, I don't want to see you eight now."

"But Re…"

"GO!"

Sirius looked hurt but he turned to leave anyway and when he got to the door he looked back and saw Remus roll over on his bed and James moving over to comfort him.
