Putting all the things together in his mind Remus raised his wand at Sirius and cursed him so that he flew across the room and landed unconcius on the floor.

"What the HELL where you doing to her Black!" Remus screamed at the unconcius form and then ran over to Hermione who was in a state of shock.

Remus knelt down in front of Hermione and tried to cover her up with her dressing gown but she was shaking to much from crying so he just bundled her up into his arms and held her issuing soothing words to her.

Suddlenly Hermione snapped out of her dased and tramatised state and turned to Remus as if she had only just notice that he had come in.

"What did you do to Sirius?"

"It's ok. I wont let him hurt you. I promise."

"He was never going to hurt me you baffon. You didn't hurt him did you?" shreaked Hermione. Remus spluttered

"But I thought….. I thought that… he's over there… What did happen here then?"

Hermione got up and ran over to where Sirius was lying. Muttering the spell to wake him up Hermione lifteh his head onto her lap and started to stroke his hair as he started to moan.

"Ummm Hermione you might want to explain to me what just happened because I come out here to see if he's alright and I find him in here trying to…" Hermione cut across him.

"He wasn't trying to do anything." Snapped Hermione.

"then what was that all about then."

"Sirius found something out about my past today that he had a little trouble coping with and I didn't like going back into that part of my past either. So we were both just upset. And then you came in and thought that he was trying to attack me. Do you really think so low of one of your best friends?"

"No of course not. I just got a bit caught up in the scene I suppose im really really sorry. I was only trying to help." Replied Remus bashfully.

Hermione sent him a weak smile that told him that she didn't hold anything against him and then turned back to Sirius. She muttered another spell under her breath and as if automatically Sirius got up from the floor as if he hadn't just been thrown across the room and knocked out.

"Wow I think that I'm feeling a little dizzy. What just happened I remember that……" Sirius' face went ash white as the past conversation came back into his mind. Then he went hysterical muttering things and then screaming things, pacing round the room.

"Peter. We have to go. I'm going to….." his ramblings were cut short as Hermione swiftly slaped him hard around the face.

"Sirius please calm down. Peter HASN'T don't anything yet. Ok. Just remember that it was a different Peter that did those things." Sirius slowly nodded and took deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

\remus looked on in confusion at the strange pair and then walked up to Sirius and looked his best friend in the eye.

"Sirius, I'm… I'm really sorry I thought that….. well I thought….." Remus was having trouble getting his apology out but was surprise when he was quickly embraced by Sirius in a brotherly way.

"It's ok Moony, you did the right thing. If you hadn't done that then I probable would have lost it ang gone around destroying everything in site."

"Thanks Padfoot. But what was it that made the two of you react so badly. Hermione, you don't seem the type to over react, so it must have been big."

"I'm really sorry Remus. If I could tell you I really would. I just can't. you will find out eventually though. I promise."

"I'll keep you to that promise. But now I think that I should take you back to Gryffindor tower. You both need to rest. It's a Sunday tomorrow so you don't have to get up early. Come on." Said Remus calmly. Gentaly pulling them both toward the door.

Over the next few days the three that had been in the room of requirements that evening where very quiet and subdued. Sirius spent all of his time in his bed with the curtains spelled so that no one could open them.

Hermione had been acting like she no longer wanted to be associated with the marauders and spent all of her time with Lilly and the other girls in her year.

Remus tried to act as normal but would always sneak sidelong glances at both Hermione and Sirius. James and Peter new that there must have been something going on and tried to talk to the three of them. But Sirius and Hermione both shrugged them off or yelled at them while Remus would promise that he knew nothing and try to change the subject.

The Tuesday after the incident in the R of R James and Sirius were sitting in the back of divination together trying their hardest not to listen to. They were the only two out of their friends that took that class, and usually used it to think up a new prank or discuss who was the latest hot girl of the week.

This class however James found the conversation very one sided. "So I was thinking that maybe if we carefully planned it properly then we could make it so that Snivilleus has to walk over and kiss mini McGonagall's feet and ask her to marry her. It will just be a simple charm." Sirius nodded and muttered something in return and then went back to folding his spare piece of parchment. "Sirius! Are you even listening to me!"

"I should hope not Mr Potter as he is supposed to be listening to me! Just like you should be. So could you please refrain from talking in my class again!" Sanpped Professor Chinwits walking up beside the duo's table.

"Yes professor." James replied cheerfully beaming at his teacher. Professor Chinwits just tutted and then walked back to the front of the class and carried on here he had left off.

"Seriusly mate. What happened before because you and Hermy have been acting really strange. Especially around me and Peter."

"I don't have to like the rat if I don't want to thankyou James!"

"What has Peter ever done to you!"

"Nothing. Yet!"

"Mr Potter, Mr Black! If you do not be quiet this instant then I shall have to put you both in detention. Separately!"

"Yes Professor!" the boys chorused angelically.

The same sort of conversation was taking place in ancient ruins between Hermione and Remus.

"Hermione I said that I was sorry for jumping to conclusions and I do respect both of yours privacy but I can see that whatever it was is tearing you both up inside. You both need to let it out."

"But look what happened last time that I let it out. Look what happened to Sirius. I doubt that any of you could handle the thing any better than he is. That's why I mustn't tell you. I was forbidden from telling anyone and I made a mistake in telling Sirius but he had found some of my personal stuff that I had to explain. That is all that happened I swear. I promise you that you will find out what happens in the end."

"What happens? Don't you mean what happened if it was about your past. And how will I find out if you wont tell me."

"I cant tell you Remus I'm sorry but that's the way it is."

"You two at the back be quiet! This is an important class that I happen to be teaching you."

"yes Professor!"

sorry this is a shorter chapter but I don't have a lot of time and this can be the calm place to stop instead of a cliff hanger that I know that everybody loves.
