Lily wandered up the boys staircase. She wanted to talk to James about transfigurations, but he hadn't been in the common room. Lily was lost in the problem as she entered the room.
A clatter of a chair on the floor made her look up from her textbook.
"Oh hey Remus. Do you know where James is?"
"Umm not really…." Remus was attempting to stuff a small book into his desk drawer.
"What's that?" Lily pointed to the corner of the book, which had one corner sticking out of the messy drawer.
"Uhhh this?" He held up the book, and she nodded, stepping closer. "Well, this is… uhh this is my disijs…" He muttered the last word.
"Sorry?"
"It's a record really, of you know everything…"
"Sorta like a diary?"
"Well I guess you could call it that, but really I'm just documenting history..."
"Right…" Lily had been stepping steadily closer and was now able to see into the drawer, which was messier than Lily thought Remus was capable of. Lily glanced from the journal to Remus' face which was looking a little sweaty. "What are you 'documenting'?"
"Uhh just the goings on of Hogwarts… You know stuff like that…"
"Sure…" Before Lily could think through what she was doing and before Remus could stop her Lily had ripped the journal from Remus' hand and was running out of the room and down the stairs.
"Lily!"
"Ha Lupin! This is revenge for that chocolate I know you stole! You're not the only one who's a verified chocolate whore!"
"Lily!" Remus was racing down the stairs after her, but he wasn't nearly as determined as Lily was and she flew out of the common room and out into the maze that was the rest of Hogwarts.
Once she was sure that she'd lost Remus she opened the book.
Entry #1 September 1, 1971
This has been one of the best days of my life. I knew that Hogwarts was amazing, but I never knew about the feasts and the carriage and the people. I have made my first friends. James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. They are very good people and we are all dorm mates in Gryffindor. It's really amazing that I'm in Gryffindor, I've never really considered myself very brave. Anyway, James is quite a leader. He's very confident, I wish I had his charisma and strength. Peter is very nice, he seems to be a bit like me, just trying to find our place in the school. Sirius is strange. I don't understand him. He's said that he doesn't want to be like his family, but he's upset that he wasn't placed in the house his family has been in. I am very confused about it. He has a manner about him that is also very confusing. He's like a hurricane. Well those are my friends and we sat together at the feast and ate very good food. It was a great day and now I feel like I'll have the best night sleep on these very nice beds and after such a full and fantastic day.
-R. J. Lupin.
Lily nearly laughed out loud. Remus had liked Sirius even back then, he had just been as clueless as he was now. She needed to find James so they could use the journal to help them get the two clowns together.
Lily had managed to wander to the entry hall and turned to the last entry as she walked out onto the grounds.
Entry #I don't remember. April 6, 1978
It has been awhile since I've written in here. Well since the last time, I have managed to become a complete screw up. I am so confused and I have no idea what's right anymore. James got Lily, they're dating. They seem very happy. Sirius has stopped shagging girls all the time, which concerns me, but is also a huge relief because, well I don't really know why. Anyway-
That must have been when Lily had come in. She looked up and around. Sure enough James was sitting under the beech tree that the marauders often sat under.
"James!"
"Hey Lily, what's that?"
Lily sat next to James and handed it to him. "This is Remus' journal."
"Shit, Moony's got a diary?" James said thumbing through it.
"Well, I thought we should use it to help get him and Sirius together."
"Holy Merlin! Lily, listen to this! 'Sirius and James have gotten on the quidditch team now. I watched the practise they had today and they looked pretty good up there. I think Sirius will be able to get any girl he wants now. I mean before he was doing alright, but now he's got the quidditch thing going for him. Plus he's started growing out his hair and it's very long and nice, the ladies will love it.' Lily he's practically fawning over Sirius!"
"Like I was saying we should use it to get them together."
"But how?"
"I really don't know."
o0o
Sirius walked up the stairs to his dorm. He had just seen Lily and James and they had given him something, a notebook. They said it was Remus' and that he needed to understand something and that he should read Moony's journal to find it. But Sirius had never been one to read much, and also he didn't know that he wanted to read Moony's diary. Firstly because that was private, and secondly because it was probably all about sweaters and grammar. Moony loved sweaters and grammar.
Sirius opened the door to find Moony pacing around the room.
"Hey Moons. Looking for this?" He said tossing the journal at him.
Remus' eyes widened as he caught it. "You didn't…"
"I didn't read it.
Sirius hovered near his bed and watched Remus stuff the book into his messy desk drawer.
"Lily and James said I needed to read it to understand something. Any idea what that was about?"
Remus blushed. He always looks so cute when he blushes… I mean ha Moony's blushing!
"Not a clue." He sank onto his bed.
Sirius lay back onto his own bed. It was almost dinner and the sun was touching the horizon.
"Hey uhhh should we…" He couldn't think of anything, but he wanted to do something with Remus.
"Yeah, definitely." Sirius sat up and stared at him. Remus' eyes had glazed over and he was looking at Sirius and smiling lightly.
"Hey Moony…" Sirius said waving his hand in front of Remus' face. He started and blushed.
"Yeah…" The light from the setting sun caught in Remus' eyes making them glow.
Shit.
"Sirius? Why are you staring at my eyes?" Sirius snapped back to reality. He ran a hand back through his beautiful long locks in a very James like move.
"I was checking your health…"
"Okay." Remus was staring at Sirius' hair.
"So dinner?"
"I mean if you want to…"
"No, Moony, it's time for dinner."
"Right." Remus blushed again.
o0o
After dinner Sirius lay awake on his bed thinking. What had Lily and James meant. They had stared back and forth between Sirius and Remus all of dinner. It was very confusing.
The image of Remus' eyes in the light of the setting sun swam in front of Sirius' eyes. He smiled lightly, which only made him more confused. That's what James had said happened to him with Lily. That she was always just popping up in his head being beautiful. Sirius mulled, Remus did that to him. He was always in the corner of his mind checking on him, smiling and being pretty.
Sirius sat up bolt right. Was he in love with Remus? Of course not, he reasoned, Moony's just a very good friend who happens to be beautiful. I just appreciate his face, like mine or James. But Sirius knew that he didn't think about James nearly as much as he thought about Remus.
Sirius slid out of bed and sat at his desk. If Moony did it, it might help him. Sirius grabbed some parchment and a quill.
A/N: I know they're not together and I promised you Wolfstar, but I have plans Mwa Ha Ha! So they will just have to be very confused for now! Reviews are like chocolate and I'm trying to fight dementors!
