thank you lovely people who review! Yes, James will appear in this chapter lol.
Four months later...
"Sirius...Sirius...Sirius!''
"Huh? I'm sorry...I...I was thinking.'' The prince had jumped slightly at the sound of his friend's voice. James frowned at him. "You've been pretty distant for the last few months. You're hardly ever around, you spend most of your free time down at the stable. You've begun to worry your family.''
''James Potter, are you suggesting I actually care about if my family worries? At least it shows they know I exsist. Ever since I told them I wouldnt wed that god awful Scarlette they act as if Regulus is the heir. And maybe it'd be better off.'' Sirius shrugged and leaned against the wall of his corridor.
"Well If you dont mind me saying so, Sirius, frankly I myself am beggining to worry about you're well-being lately.''
"I assure you, my friend, I am alright.'' He smiled. "More than alright.''
Now James Potter had known the Prince for years. Practically their whole lives. James' parents had died some many years back in an awful attack of the kingdom, leaving him orphaned. Since the Potters had been such a wealthy family, it didnt tarnish the Black name when they took the boy in and let him live in Sirius' corridors of the palace. The two dark haired boys had been inseperable from then on. Being such a close friend of the Prince's, James knew when something was up.
"More than alright? How so?"
Siriuss considered him a moment. ''James, I trust you.''
"I should certainly hope.'' James cracked a grin.
"Yes. Well...I have something to tell you, but word cannot - must not- get out.''
"I can keep a secret, Sirius.'' James laughed. Sirius nodded "Yes, I suppose you can...'' he sighed. "I have met someone.''
"Met someone? A lady?"
"No, James. No lady. Far from it. A boy.''
James raised one dark brow "I dont think I understand...''
"I am in love, James. With the stable boy...Remus. We've been seeing each other these passed four months...These amazing four months.''
"In love?" James whispered as if it were a sin to say. "But...But the throne--''
"Can only go to the eldest married son, I know...But it never said I must marry a woman. I myself would hardly consider the cows mother selects for me to be women on any note...''
"You're sure it's love?"
"Positive.''
"Well...Have you...well..." James made a rather crude gesture with his hands.
"With Remus?" Sirius asked, shocked that James would ask such a thing. "No. I respect Remus far too much. Not yet. I dont beleive he is ready for such an act just yet.''
"Oh...Well are you seeing him tonight?"
Prince Sirius did not answer his friend right away. "No. No...I see him every night of the month but one...He refuses to see me one night of each month. I'm not quite sure why.''
''strange.'' James noted.
"Yes. Indeed it is. But I dont mind it. As long as I see him each other night. Tomorrow I will bring him something, maybe. Dinner, perhaps. How would that be?"
"If you think it would please him. Yes.''
"Yes..." Sirius nodded, looking out the window at the full moon. "I think it would.''
