- I dont know why are you wasting your time - Peter said- ifhe wants to be alone we should leave him alone.
its just... i dont think he wants to be alone - said Sirius-, is like he didnt know he doesnt have to...
- gregarious instinct.
- What? Dont tell me that youve been reading those muggles books again.
- you should read them too, you would learn so much.
- like?
- thatthe oneof the problem is not Lupin but you.
- Meee?
- gregarious instinct, the desire, the need to be with the group, the tribe ... or in your case, I would dare to say, with the herd.
- Hey! Are you calling me animal?
- no you idiot is just, you dont like to be alone right?
- well yeah, and what does it have to be with Lupin? I am not alone. In this moment Im not in very good company, and yes, im talking about you, Peter, but I am not alone.
- there the point is: as you cant stand loneliness you dont want Lupin to be alone either, Because since he hasnt joined to the group it makes you feel isolated . You prefer that your herd is bigger that beech two herds separates.its very simple.
- Are you saying that Im not trying to get him out of his shell for his good but for my comfort?
- What does make you think that your friendship would be of benefit to him?
Up to this moment Sirius had been taking it to joke, but Peter's last commentary bothered him.
- Does my friendship needs to be a benefit for someone? Is it a benefit to you?
- yeah, a lot- Peter smiled-. But maybe Lupin is better without friends, or at least thats what he seems to think. Dont you believe that he has the right to be respected?
Sirius didnt know what to answer.
