DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER.

A/N: This is goin to be the last chapter for a very long time unless Captain Oz wants to help me with this. I have a lot of things going on and I just really can't keep up with this. I'm not saying I still won't update because I will, BUT it will be a very very long time until the next update. I'm sorry guys, I will continue writing this, but like I said it will probably be a long long time before I can update again.

Remus walked out of the Library after pushing his chair in, still catching parts of the game between Lily and Peter.

"So Pete…guys or girls?" Lily said in a devilish voice.

"U-u--uhm."

James just looked at Sirius with a look of empathy on his face. He wasn't really sure on what to say to him. James had practiced a speech. He had planned on yelling at Sirius as soon as he answered. But this was not the answer he expected. James had prepared to yell at Sirius for hours and hours about how stupid he was to play with Remus' feelings, how he shouldn't have done anything to make Remus like him if he didn't like him in the first place.

Sirius sat hugging the dog to his chest and breathing in Remus' scent, tears splashing gently on the dog's fur. He sniffled quietly, not even bothering to wipe the tears away.

Remus walked slowly from the Library towards the Gryffindor Common room wondering where in the world his two friends were.

James stared blankly at Sirius. 'What the hell do I say?' He took a step towards Sirius, his arm stretched out as if he were going to place his hand on Sirius' shoulder, but Sirius flinched and stood up quickly.

"Don't" Sirius said in a frosty tone.

The raven haired boy quickly made his way out of the Dorm, the dog still clutched in his hand. James stood there, confused and a slight bit angry, before he made his way to the door to go talk to Padfoot. The door almost seemed as if it were on Sirius' side, it slammed noisily and made James jump and almost fall down the stairs as he was walking out.

Remus finally made it to the Portrait of The Fat Lady and gave her the password. She smiled sweetly at the polite young werewolf in front of her and nodded.

"That is correct m'dear! Here you go!" and with that, the picture swung open, granting the Gryffindor access.

"Does Lily like him?" James asked in a cold voice.

Sirius shrugged and snuggled closer to the stuffed dog that smelled of Autumn and chocolate.

"Not to my knowledge."

"Does he like her?" There was that cold tone again and it didn't seem to rub Sirius that right way.

"You can stop using that tone with me! NO! He doesn't like her. Lily made that clear as did you! Why the hell are you doubting yourself, Lily, and Remus?"

James shrugged his shoulders and replied with "I just wanted to make sure."

"Sirius…I--." James began, neither he nor Sirius noticed the muffled voices of The Fat Lady and Remus.

"Don't James. I'm not in the mood for it right now."

"Dammit Sirius! At least I didn't forget that tonight is the full moon!" James' hand flew to his mouth as he immediately regretted saying it, but then found logic in it.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sirius cried out, only achieving in bringing on more tears. His eyes were filled to the brim with puddles of tears, red, and puffy.

"It's the truth! You were too wrapped up in Bones to even check the Calendar."

Sirius looked at him the puddles not streams, in his now stormy blue eyes.

"THAT'S NOT WHY YOU FUCKHEAD! AND LIKE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SO CAUGHT UP IN EVANS TO WHERE YOU HAVEN'T!"
James glared at him. How could he have gone from trying to help Sirius to just making things worse? It certainly wasn't his intentions to do so.

Neither of the arguing boys noticed Remus slinking into the Common Room. That was until Remus kicked the side of a chair.

"Well shit!" he said in a whispered but angry voice.

"Moony?" Sirius asked hopefully as he turned his head towards the sound.

Remus nodded.

"Yeah…where were you guys we---." He narrowed his eyes suspiciously when he seen the state that Sirius was in. Plus the handsome young man had his dog.

"What's going on?" He asked.

Sirius remained still, his eyes lingering on Remus, but never saying one thing about what James had asked him. Remus could smell the tension in the air, and it surely wasn't coming from him. He looked at James who seemed to be looking a little guilty.

"What did you do to him?" He asked in an oddly solicitous voice for someone who had seen his crush making out with someone else just yesterday.

James, at the moment, was doing a rather shining impression of a fish because of the question.

"Well?" Remus asked, this time from beside of Sirius on a couch. Remus grabbed a hold of Sirius' arm startling the upset boy. Sirius looked at Remus and saw that the concern was real.

He sighed as Remus rubbed his arm soothingly, wiped his tears, and pulled Sirius over to lean on him.

"James was just being a prat."

"Well what did he do?"

"I didn't do anything!" James said indignantly.

Remus looked at James.

"Well then, what did you say?"

James put his head down and Sirius did as well which only resulted in Sirius' head resting on Remus' chest.

"Well, I uhm, sort of forgot that tonight was a full moon. I was only off by a day, and I didn't mean to Moony! I'm really sorry. Really, really sorry. I really didn't! I just…" Sirius trailed off, not knowing how to keep apologizing.

Remus kept quiet as he treaded his fingers through Sirius' silken hair. How was he supposed to give an answer to that? Finally he broke the silence, the fingers still carding through the tresses and James still staring at them in a confused fashion.

"You're going to be there tonight, aren't you Padfoot?" Remus asked quietly, desperately hoping the answer to be 'yes'. He wasn't really sure he could take it if it wasn't.

Both James and Sirius felt their hearts clench when Remus asked the question. The tone of his voice made him seem so fragile and vulnerable. James wanted nothing more to assure Remus that they would all be there, but he had know idea if Sirius was.
Sirius nodded as fervently as he could, considering he had fingers knotted in his hair and he was practically purring because of the magic the fingers could work.

"Of course I will be Moony. I would never miss a full moon. Never." This was said in a sleep filled voice and Remus could feel the voice vibrating through his chest.

"Then it's alright, Padfoot. It's alright." He whispered, subconsciously pressing a kiss to the top of Sirius' head, relishing in the feeling of the sleek hair beneath his lips.

Sirius snuggled closer into Remus' chest and inhaled deeply, gulping down the aroma of fresh chocolate and sweet cider. The black fuzzy dog lay on Remus' lap, Sirius' hand still on it. Pretty soon, Sirius had dozed off.

"James, go and get Lily and Peter out of the library. We were still waiting on you guys to come."

James sighed, but nodded anyway and walked out of the Common Room, leaving the two canines to themselves. Slowly but surely James finally made it to the Library.

"Hey, where's Remus and Sirius?" Lily asked

"In the Common Room." James replied as he reached for a book.

Lily helped Peter gather up their trash and other 'supplies' as James carried books and they all ventured to the Common Room.

Remus sat on the couch, still holding Sirius as he slept. The portrait open creakily as his three friends walked in Lily now with her books, James with his, and Peter the rest of the chocolate and soda pop. Lily shoe got tangled up in the rug and she tripped, kept herself from actually falling, but still dropped her books.

She and James both bent down to pick it up at the same time and not realizing it. Lily went to place her hand on top of the book as she was looking at her shoe as she kicked her foot around to get it untangled. As she put her hand on the book, she felt another hand underneath hers. She looked up to see James Potter…blushing.

James ducked his head as he made eye contact with Lily, his glasses somewhat slipping down on his nose. Lily did the same, her hand still on his. Remus smiled at the two and then cleared his throat loudly.

Lily jumped and pulled her hand away quickly before picking the book up, James' hand falling limply on the floor. She stood up rapidly and smoothed the wrinkles in her skirt out. Remus was practically snorting with repressed laughter.

Lily glared at Remus before sitting down on the other side of Remus that wasn't occupied by Sirius and watching James and Peter start up a game of Wizard's Chess. She sat and watched Remus run his fingers through the dark hair. The silence was peaceful and Lily enjoyed the calm demeanor but she desperately needed to talk to Remus.

Knowing that James couldn't understand them, she began speaking to Remus in French.

"C'est bien vous savez" She said quickly.

Remus turned his head to look at her, resulting in his fingers to stop their work. He looked at her in a questioning manner as Sirius moved his head to find the werewolf's touch again.

"Quel est?" Remus asked looking longingly at Sirius.

Lily huffed indignantly as she gestured at the two boys.

"Pour aimer Sirius en dépit de tout." She said in a stern voice.

"J'aime Sirius, beaucoup. Mais je me sens comme lui ne m'aime pas." He huffed and then sat in a pondering silence for a moment.

"Il sera obligé à aimer bien James aussi." Remus replied in a serious yet indignant manner.

"Je sais." She replied as she looked wistfully at James.

"Alors je fais aussi." The fingers were starting to card through the hair again.

"Thank you Remus." She replied as she stood up and went to talk to James.

"You're most welcome."

Sirius listened to Remus and Lily talk to each other in the other language while pretending to be asleep. Sirius had no idea as to what they were saying, all he knew was that he had heard Remus say his name. He had heard Remus say his name in that deep voice and French accent and it made his heart flutter.

Sorry for any mistakes, I didn't mean to make them. I love you guys! And I promise I WILL UPDATE!
Lykaios.
