A.N.- There, now you can stop poking me, EldalieStarkindler, I've got the confession scene finished. It would have been up sooner but it's hard to write when someone's poking you, (or if your computer is being evil and won't let you upload documents.) Unfortunately the next chapter is giving me some problems so it might be a while before the next update. Especially considering I've got AP tests in less then a month. Joy!
"Hey."
Remus looked up and smiled at his lover. "Hey."
Sirius looked down at his shoes, unable to meet Remus's eyes. "How-how are you?"
Remus looked at him, slightly hurt Sirius wouldn't look at him. Oh, dear Merlin, what had he done last night? "I-I'm fine, guess I just had a rough night. I-I- Sirius, please, tell me I didn't hurt anyone."
Sirius continued to examine the floor, while attempting to build up the courage to confess.
"Oh, Merlin, was it James? Peter? Sirius, what happened?" Remus demanded, panicking.
"I-I told Snape how to get past the Whomping Willow," Sirius muttered, in a voice so soft that Remus wouldn't have heard it without his enhanced, werewolf hearing.
Remus shook his head. "That's really not a funny joke, Sirius."
Sirius looked ready to cry. "Oh, Merlin Remus, I wish I were joking, but-"
"Shut up, Sirius, you're lying. You didn't get enough sleep last night, had a strange dream, but you did not tell Snape-"
"Yes, Remus, I did, and I'm so sorry; I'll never do it again, oh Merlin."
Remus drew back. He couldn't breathe; his world was ending around him. He had killed Snape; Sirius had betrayed him. "I killed him, didn't I? Sirius, why, how could you-"
"No! You didn't hurt anybody. Everyone's okay, except you; you're in the Hospital Wing. James found out and pulled him out in time. So nobody got hurt."
Remus gave a hollow laugh. "Yes, and that makes it all okay, doesn't it? Merlin, Sirius, What were you thinking‽"
"I-I don't know. I just, he made me so mad-"
"He made you mad! You tried to kill him because he made you mad‽"
"Not kill, just scare a bit."
"What did you think would happen when I came across him, that I'd just let him go?"
"I- I don't know."
"How could you? I thought I could trust you." Remus said softly.
"I don't know," Sirius moaned.
"Do you know anything?" Remus spat disgustedly.
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't fix anything, Sirius."
"It's the best I can offer."
"Well apparently it's not enough-"
"Wait. Are you breaking up with me?"
Remus looked at him incredulously. "Of course."
"Because of Snivellus!"
"Because I can't be with someone I can't trust. And I can't trust you, Sirius, not after this."
There was silence. Sirius was staring at Remus, completely heartbroken. Remus met his gaze sorrowfully. After a pause he said, "I don't know what you expected. Me to just say 'That's okay, don't do it again.' It's not okay, Sirius, and I don't know if it's ever going to be okay again. Do you even know what you did?" Remus paused for a moment, his eyes widening in horror. "Oh Merlin, I'm going to have to leave Hogwarts now. Everyone will know I'm a werewolf; they won't want me to stay-"
"No! Dumbledore made sure that Snape wouldn't tell anyone; nobody else will find out; he'll keep his fat mouth shut." Sirius reassured Remus, while silently begging him to take him back.
"And what has Dumbledore done to make sure you keep yours shut‽"
That remark stopped Sirius dead. Remus looked at him for a few moments, breathing heavily. "Get out," he said quietly, "just go."
Sirius fled, running away blindly as his vision was obscured by tears.
Once the door was safely shut, Remus rolled over and cried out the pieces of his broken heart.
