"Did you hear about who Sirius is going out with?" Remus Lupin asked a smaller, plumper boy during Transfiguration class.

"No, but I don't really care…" The boy, Peter, said.

"Well I bet James would." Remus grinned, changing the puppy on his desk into a kitten.

"What do you—hey, how do you do that?" Peter asked, seeing the transforming dog.

"Never mind." Remus said, rolling his eyes. Idiot. "Lily."

Peter dropped the small hamster in his hand, and it squealed trying to run away from the frightening boy. "Sirius and Lily?" he asked.

Remus picked up Peter's hamster from the chair it had fallen onto. "Yes."

"Lily would never say yes to Sirius, she thinks he's an a—"

"Yes, she does think he is one, which is the strange part."

Peter grabbed the squirming rodent from Remus and turned it into a far uglier guinea pig. "Wait 'til James hears this!" Peter said, plopping the guinea pig into a cage.

"No! You can't just go and tell James! We've sworn not to talk to him, and that's what we're going to do." Remus said, frowning.

"Yeah, but why do we ignore those two anyway?" Peter asked, making his way toward the front of the class to get another animal.

"We can't let…" Remus thought for a while, following Peter. He wasn't so sure himself. Oh well, he had to say something. "We can't let their ego get bigger than it already is."

Peter took a small kitten to the front of the room, and it started to hiss at him. He knew why. "I hate cats…" he muttered to himself.

"How would James' ego get big if his best friend is going out with his crush?" he asked to Remus, sitting down at their table again.

"Not James', Sirius'. But if James knew that, he'd ask that Elena girl, you know how he made her laugh. And that would make Sirius jealous. So either way, both are going to be jealous, and then get revenge to make their ego go up. And they'll never stop fighting if that happens." Remus said, also coming back to the table with a kitten in hand. His kitten, however, did not hiss at him.

"Oh. So we're not telling James?" Peter asked, flinching at his hissing feline.

"Right. Besides, he probably already knows. Only the whole school does, thanks to that fan club of Sirius'." Remus responded, glancing at James, sitting by himself, and Sirius, sitting next to Lily and Kaniya.

Peter nodded numbly and sighed. This was going to be a very long year.

Author's Note

Welp, if you didn't realise, that was in Remus' and Peter's point of view. Thought it was time for a change. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter, it took a long time to get it just right.
