Cheated –Chapter 20:

Remus was on his way to the Owlery to send his letter asking weather he should come home for Christmas or not. He walked into the room to find his brown owl sitting on its perch waiting to deliver a message to anyone. He walked over, avoiding all the shit on the floor and tied his letter onto his owl's leg. "Give this to my parents" he whispered to it. When he turned away after it flew he crashed right into Sirius. Remus quickly looked down and tried to get out of the room as soon as possible.

"Wait," Sirius whispered, "please, what can I do?"

Remus decided not to answer and continued at his attempt to escape the room. Sirius was not going to let him go that easily and began to chase him once he saw him leave.

Remus began running too; he did not want to talk to Sirius so soon. He ran as fast as he could down the halls trying hard not to crash into anyone or get caught by a professor. He turned a corner quickly and looked back to see how close the other boy was and crashed right into someone. Remus looked down quickly to see who he had landed on, and surprisingly enough it was none other than Severus Snape. Together they fell to the floor with Remus lying right on top of Severus.

Remus saw this as a perfect chance to get rid of Sirius. He grabbed his boyfriends head and gave him a rough kiss, pinning him down more than he already was. Right then Sirius turned the corner and gasped at what he saw. He was not expecting this, how was it that Snape just had to be there when he needed to talk to Moony alone?

Passer bys were now staring at them and finally some really short second year with his group of friends yelled, "GET A ROOM!"

Sirius turned around and left as Severus and Remus broke apart. He didn't want to deal with the awkwardness it would have caused if he had stayed. "What was all of that about?" Severus said licking his lips.

"Thank you for being right there. Oh, and I was just trying to get away from someone, but they are gone now so you don't have to worry about it." He smiled

Severus gave his boy friend a weird look and stood up. He held out his hand to help Remus up and also helped dust him off. "Thanks."

"So would you like to go to an empty classroom and talk?" Severus asked.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked confused.

"Well…I would like to know more about your…uh…condition." He whispered the last word smirking.

Remus paled and his heart sank a bit but nodded anyway. "Okay, come one let's go." He knew he was going to have to explain everything to Severus one day, so he might as well get over it now. He was going to tell his the truth about everything. Well not about the Marauders secret, maybe when they were older.

When he reached the empty class room they sat down on a couch that they transfigured from a chair. "Okay, so…what about my lycanthropy would you like to know about?"

Severus thought for a moment, "When did you first get bitten?"

Remus sighed, "Well I was bitten when I was six years old."

"Wow that long eh?"

"Yes."

"Oh, come on Rem; don't be all shy like that."

"Okay I am just not used to it."

Severus looked confused, "Not used to what? Being a werewolf? I would think you would be used to that by now after all these years of being one"

"No Severus not that, I just don't like talking about it very much! I no, I do not think I will ever get used to the transformations" Remus said hotly.

"Okay, sorry but can I still ask you questions?"

"Sure, as long as you don't say anything to make me mad. Alright?" Remus asked.

"Alright, alright, so how did you parents take it?"

"Is this supposed to be like an interview or something?" He looked up at his boyfriend raising an eyebrow. "Never mind. Well at first they were distant and were afraid to get too close to me as they thought I would rip them apart. But soon, my mom began getting closer and she basically took care of me as my dad wouldn't." Severus looked like he was about to say something but shook his head and let the werewolf continue.

"My father started drinking from the stress of what had happened and would come home drunk, and he isn't a happy drunk. You need to promise me something Sev." He took Severus' hand and squeezed it looking up into his lovers black eyes.

"What is it?" Severus asked.

"Promise me that you will not to do anything to my father, no matter what I tell you about him alright. I have never told anyone before and it's because I don't want them to know. So you promise?"

"I promise." He said giving his boyfriend a soft kiss on the lips.

"Ok then so…where was I? Oh yeah, my dad began to drink and he would come home late, then he would beat on my mom. In the morning he would act like he couldn't see the cuts and bruises and would go to work. So after about a year when I was seven he began to bet me too." Remus convinced himself he wouldn't cry, he wouldn't.

"Don't say anything until I am done." He took a deep breath, he was sweating and shaking a bit out of nervousness and continued his story. "With my transformations and his beatings I would never have one day that I could go with out suffering from cuts and bruises. He attacked me because he didn't like the fact that I was a werewolf. He couldn't stand to have a son that was a monster even though it was only one day out of the month. He sent me to these werewolf camps where there were tons of us and they would teach us to train the wolf. My mother doesn't get beat that much anymore, his main focus is on me."

"But when I was at the camps he wouldn't be able to get me. I could easily kick his ass, but I could never to that to my father even though he does it to me. So when I was eleven I did get my Hogwarts letter and my mom really wanted me to go so father wouldn't get the chance to beat me for a few months." Severus felt really sorry for Remus so he took his hand and squeezed it tightly and allowed for him to continue.

"So mum, dad, and I went to Dumbledore and we told him about my condition and we talked about pre cautions that had to be made in order for me to come to school here. I couldn't tell anyone that I was a werewolf. I was so nervous but I was also glad that I could escape from my father. Now he only messes with me on holidays that they want me to come to and during the summer. So that is basically it." It was silent. Remus didn't even shed a tear but hardy anyone has ever seen him do so.

"I am so sorry Rem-"

"I don't need you to feel sorry for me. I just wanted trust in this relationship, so that is why I told you. You can now forget about it all."

"But Remus, you can't-"

"Yes I can, now leave it." He said stubbornly.

"Okay then."

"Okay." It was silent again. "So let's go to lunch I am starving."

"Do you want to eat in the kitchens instead of the Great Hall? So we can eat together?" Severus asked running his hands through his silky black hair. "I really wish that we could sit with who ever we want to during meals. But I guess that eating with our own house will prevent a lot of fights."

"Let's go to the kitchens but James and Peter will be worried. I guess they will be fine with out me. So let's go."

They got up and headed to the kitchens. When they got there the house elves got them what ever they wanted and they sat down to eat. "So I think I finally know where they got the name Moony from. But I am not sure about the others. Your nick name comes from you being a werewolf with the moon."

"Yep, I don't like the moon but I don't mind being called Moony. It's a name for the group, you know, we called ourselves the Marauders." Remus said taking a bite of his crackers.

"Yeah, I know your group call each other the Marauders but do you know what?" Severus asked getting a nasty smirk on his face.

"What? I don't like that look!" Remus said eyeing him carefully.

"Did you know that Moony sounds a lot like moon me?"

"Excuse me?"

"Come on I am your boy friend, I can say stuff like this." Severus said, "So are you going to moon me?"

"No!" The werewolf said blushing.

"Aw come on! I want to see that sexy thing!"

"No now stop it or I'll get you!"

"Whoa, is that a threat?"

Sirius was desperate to get his friends back. He was dieing with out them. So when he saw James and Peter at the Gryffindor table he walked over to sit next to them. But they paid no attention to him. Sirius sighed, "James. Peter. Please what can I do to make it up to you? I am sorry I betrayed Remus, I couldn't help it and you know that. So please still be my friend. I am nothing with out you guys, I need you. Please." He begged.

James spoke after the silence that lingered after what Sirius said, "As touching as that all may be my dear Padfoot, but we are not forgiving you until Remus does. He was the one who got hurt so therefore we are with him. You are the one who did the wrong thing. Sorry Sirius, please leave now."

Sirius stood up, "I am so sorry" he said before he left out of the Great Hall with out eating anything.

"You should be saying sorry to Moony, not us." James called after him.

"Hey James do you know where Remus went?" Peter asked.

"He said that he was going to send a letter to his parents, but he should be back by now. Well he could have crashed into Snape. You never know, but I am sure he's fine."

"So you are fine with Remus and Snape being together now? Because sometimes it seems like you are okay with it and sometimes you seem to be completely against it."

"Well Peter, I am confusing myself, I think that Snape it good for Remus because he accepts him for who he is and will try his hardest to protect him. But I have always hated Snape and always will. We will never get along but I will for Moony because he deserves it." James answered.

Peter looked at James like he had to heads, "Are you sure he is good enough for Moony? I really don't think so."

"Well it really isn't much of our business unless there is a chance that he could get hurt. But it doesn't look that way any more. So yes, I do think that Snape it good enough for Remus even though that sounds completely insane coming out of my mouth." James shook his head not believing what he was saying even though it was all the truth.

"Well if you're sure. What about Sirius?" Peter asked, he like to hear others opinions before he decided things for himself to make sure he was with everyone else. That was just the way he was.

"Well like I said earlier he should say sorry to Remus before he comes back to us. Usually I would take Sirius' side for anything but not this, he has gone way too far. I have no idea what went through his mind when he cheated on him or when he told Snape Remus' secret. It was not his secret to tell and he should know that." James said taking a bite of his turkey and cheese sandwich. "But he does seem pretty sorry. So we will just have to stick with Remus until Sirius apologizes. Everything seems to have gone down hill since Sirius cheated on Remus. So it is basically all Sirius' fault to begin with. If Padfoot never cheated on Moony than he would have never been with Snape and he most likely wouldn't have told Snape about Remus' secret. I don't know how Rem will ever trust Sirius again after his betrayal. Well we need to get out of here. I am finished and it looks like you are too." He stood up along with Peter and they left the Great Hall to the Common room to finish up on homework.
