Remus left the hospital wing the next week feeling much better, although still a little woozy. He returned to Gryffendor tower with a wave of comments. Everyone wanted to know how he was and if he was better. Remus appreciated the sentiment, but he did not enjoy being in the spotlight, even for a little while. Remus moved back into his dormitory with help from James and Sirius who helped him move most of his books and clothes back. He managed to catch up in all of his school work very quickly.

That Monday, Remus went back to classes. Flitwick squeaked his apologies when he saw Remus, who told him that he had nothing to feel sorry about. When Remus walked into class, Lily looked up at him and smiled. Remus looked at her and smiled back, trying very hard not to blush.

On Monday, at lunch, Remus sat down with James, Sirius and Peter.

'Peter, where's Jean?' he asked looking around for the quiet girl.

'Oh, well, er…' Peter trailed off in some kind of quiet mumbling. Sirius was grinning from ear to ear. 'That's Pettigrew language for we split up over arbitrary issues.'

'-Which is Sirius Black language for Jean said Peter was fat,' said James.

'Oh that's too bad,' said Remus. Although he didn't like Peter that much, he genially felt bad for him.

'Peter looked down at his lap miserably. He seemed to be on the verge of tears.

'It's alright,' said James. 'She's not worth it if she can't take a little bit of pudge.'

'Maybe it's me,' Peter said sadly.

'No it's not,' Remus found himself saying. 'What smart girl would turn you down, Peter?' Remus tried to ignore the look Sirius was giving him from across the table. 'Wormtail, your funny, and practical. Any girl would like to have you as a boyfriend.'

'Yeah, and if they refuse you, just tell them you're an animagus, that really turns birds on. However, I wouldn't try it for yourself, Remus,' said James. Remus smiled. He couldn't imagine telling a girl about his lycanthropy.

'Don't worry about it,' said Sirius. 'The right bird will come along, just you wait.'

Once the four boys had finished their lunch, Remus and Sirius went up to the dormitory to fetch their books. James and Peter had gone outside. Sirius and Remus raced up the many stair cases to their dormitory. Once inside, Remus rushed to his bed to organize his texts for the classes he had that evening.

'Remus,' said a quiet voice from Sirius' end of the room. Remus looked up to see who it was. It did not sound like Sirius at all. However, sure enough, Sirius was sitting on his bed looking at a pile of various objects sitting on his bed.

'Padfoot, what on earth-'

'Remus, I have to fess up. I'm very sorry.'

'Sirius, what did you do?' Remus asked, standing up and walking over to Sirius' bed.

'Remus, I stole from Slytherin,' he said quietly looking down at the pile on his bed. Remus looked at it as well. There were watches and parchment papers and small books- everything that McGonagall had on her list.

'Sirius-' Remus said sharply.

'I know, Even my deflated conscience should have told me not to. But Remus, it was such a good opportunity. I went when everyone was asleep, with James' invincibility cloak. I didn't tell anyone, not even James. I don't know why- I just did it. But now, now I just feel a little sick about it. I don't know why. I think it was you getting me sick, it just sent me over the edge. I felt guilty! Do you know how much it takes for me to feel guilty, Remus?'

'I wasn't sure anything existed on earth,' said Remus.

'Well, now I don't know what to do,' said Sirius. 'I can't just turn myself in, I cant go up to them. I think I'll just go into their common room tonight and return everything.'

Everything in Remus was telling him not to. Just to tell Sirius to give himself in, to suffer the consequences. But there was something about seeing Sirius sitting on his bed looking at his spoils and conquests that made him remain quiet. He must retain his friendship with Sirius- and the one thing that he learned in his five years with Sirius and James was to always say yes to their schemes and ideas. So, the only thing that Remus could bring himself to do as Sirius looked up at him was to nod his head in agreement. Sirius smiled back up at him.

'I know that you'd agree with me,' said Sirius jumping off his bed and grabbing his bag. 'And you have to admit, it was a great charade.'

'Yeah,' Remus mumbled. 'Wonderful.'

Remus and Sirius started their slow descent down the Hogwarts staircase and out the front doors. The weather was lovely and most of the students were sitting outside waiting for their next class to start. Remus followed Sirius down to the beach tree where James and Peter were sitting relaxed.

'You took long enough,' James observed.

'Well you know Remus,' said Sirius. 'Nearly fainted walking down the stairs.'

'That a result of your furry little problem?' James asked Remus.

'not exactly,' Remus said. 'It was those terrible chocolates you got me. They were so sickening they made me sick.'

'Well, Flitwick chose them,' said James lying down on his back. Suddenly he sat bolt upright as a couple of girls walked by with Lily. Remus smiled at her and James look into her eyes and said: 'hey Evans- fancy a date?'

'Not on your life, Potter,' she replied, walking away.

A/N: Well that's that. The end of Necessarium Fatum. I would like to thank each and everyone of my reviewers. You're beautiful!- All of you! I am currently working on another fic that does not have a name yet. It features Remus after Hogwarts with all that good stuff. I dont know when that will come out yet, as I dont have a lot of time, what with work etc.

So, I hope you enjoyed my story and feel free to review. Thank You!
