Sirius waved goodbye to the girl, forgetting her name at the moment. His tossled hair was quickly brushed down by his tan fingers as he walked over to Peter who was still looking dazed as he sat on the couch, his jaw hanging open a little.
"Pete? Wormtail?" Sirius asked, waving a hand in front of the boy's face before he finally came to.
"Wha-? Oh... hi." He mumbled, staring dreamily up at the Boy's Dormitory.
Sirius followed his gaze as his eyes set on the girl who had officially joined their club, forcing the secret of Remus' Werewolf problem out of him and insisting that she help as much as she could and I quote "For my little Remykins!".
The girl was so annoying and obnoxious just to be around! Obviously Peter took a fancy in the girl.
He watched her with loathing as she waved flirtatiously at the chubby little boy who looks darn near about to faint.
And she liked him too. Well this was a change. Sirius had to admit that the girl was quite beautiful just there was no way in hell he'd ever want to date her.
He rolled his eyes then saw his best friend following the girl closely, her arm slung around his waist as she led him to a couch near the fire and embraced him in a motherly fashion.
Sirius couldn't help but notice how the crackling fire reflected off Remus's amber eyes, making them sparkle and shine.
He looked away, telling himself it was just that the eyes enchanted him as most shiny things did.
Though he couldn't help but notice something bubbling at the pit of his stomach. He felt it white hot yet beautiful cold. It made shivers run down his spine as he went to sit across from his friend and the girl he hated so dearly.
"Hey, Batty, Moony." He said with a nod, grinning maliciously at the girl's scowl at the sound of her terrible nickname.
Remus was the only one who was really allowed to call her that for when he did she only smiled wider like her child was repeating it's first word.
Isabelle stroked her braid with one hand and hugged Remus to her with the other. "Hello, Pads." She said with a snort, resting her chin on top of the small boy's head next to her.
Remus smiled shyly at Sirius who smiled back. He looked over at Peter who was still staring at Isabelle as if confunded.
"Oi! Pete! Comere!"
The girl jumped at the sound of the boy's name and blushed a deep scarlet, burying his face in her friend's hair as Remus grinned knowingly.
Peter slowly made his way over to the girl as if she were some amazingly beautiful beast that could jump out and attack him at any moment though he looked as if he wanted it.
Sirius chuckled at the chubby took a seat next to the girl, edging away from her then edging back over then finally meeting inbetween.
He bit his lip, looking at Sirius desperately.
Sirius knew that it was rare that Peter really got any girls going for him. Isabelle seemed one of those strange, confusing girls that you really only met once in a lifetime. Her asian-like features looked nervously down at Remus who grinned at her and moved from her grip to sit next to Sirius.
The thing that made Remus notice was first the arm that slunk around his waist subconciously, apparently not noticing as Remus tensed up, his eyes wide. His best friend often acted like this, pulling the smaller boy onto his lap or tickling him or whispering things into the boy's ear. But now was different. Ever since a few weeks ago Remus had been avoiding sitting next to Sirius and blushed whenever acknowledged by the haughty boy. He knew exactly why and he decided to keep the secret with the one person he could really trust. His second mom.
His second mom in which was staring lovingly at Peter, their words slurred as they talked really about nothing but inched closer with each word.
Remus rolled his eyes but continued watching. This could get interesting for he knew Peter had never kissed a girl and he knew for a fact that Isabelle had refused to even date anyone until she was sure that the person was who she really wanted to be with.
But the effects were instant. The moment the two touched lips, their mouths still moving as if trying to talk but no words came out, they pulled each other into their arms and started to kiss much more passionately than even they didn't know they could muster.
Remus chortled quietly as he felt, falling silently once more, as Sirius started chuckling low so that it sounded like small, low growls of a dog. The larger boy pulled Remus onto his shoulder and the boy had no one to throw pleading glances as the only person he trusted with this matter was Isabelle and at the moment she was VERY busy.
He heard Sirius wolf-whistle the two but they didn't seem to notice for they had finally broken apart, staring with shock and thankfullness at each others eyes.
Remus couldn't help but grin. He knew Isabelle had been waiting for this moment. Waiting with a strong reassurance that Peter didn't like her back. She had never said love, he noticed, though he could sense the word on the tip of her tongue every time she talked about it without even noticing. Isabelle tended to let slip more than her fair share. Remus thanked her for at least TRYING to keep his own secret... well... secret.
But the smile was glossed over at the sound of Sirius' words in his ear, but the smell of the ten different lip gloss's on his breath making his blood boil as he scowled, his face turned from the boy's face.
He simply shrugged at the unknown question or comment whispered into his ear. He saw the concerned look on Sirius' face before turning back for Isabelle and Peter were once again lip-locked.
Remus couldn't take it anymore! He could feel Sirius' chest moving up and down, he could see Sirius' beautiful smile as he watched the newfound lovers close the gap between them. He could sense calmness in the older boy. He knew he was content.
Remus sat up suddenly, standing up and mumbling something about the bathroom as he stormed upstairs, his sudden movements breaking the two lovers apart in surprise. "I'd better... see if... he... needs toilet paper." Isabelle said desperately and the two boys nodded though neither really understanding as the girl swept towards her little cub.
"Moony?" She whispered through the door of the boy's dormitory. "Moons? Remmy? Cumon! Let me in!" She said, knocking the wood lightly.
She heard a moan as the door clicked open and she pushed her way inside.
Remus sat on his bed, cross-legged and confused. "I just... I just don't get it, Batty." He whispered, not objecting as his motherly figure landed daintily next to him, enveloping him in a big bear hug. "What don't you get, sweet?" She whispered, kissing the top of his head affectionately.
Remus shook his head slowly, still not able to bring words to his mouth. "How... could he not know?" He said finally. Isabelle looked thoughtful for a moment before answering.
"'Cause he's as thick as a brick, Cub." She said truthfully, nodding and grinning as Remus giggled as he shook his head a little. "But he's my thick-head, Batty." He said, making his face drop. "Er... I want him to be at least." He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. Isabelle sighed and kissed the boy's head again. "Don't feel bad because Siri is so dense! He'll notice you. I promise." She smiled faintly, knowing it's more than possibly not correct for Sirius was the densest, most female loving boy on the planet and Isabelle would cut off her precious braid if the boy turned gay.
But her smile returned confidently as Remus nodded, his pride running back to him though it seemed a little slo-mo.
He got up suddenly and said "I'm gonna tell him."
"What?!" Isabelle was on her feet in a second, a scared look in her eyes.
"I'm gonna tell him!" Remus repeated with confidence.
"NO!" Isabelle caught the boy before he ran out the door. "Cub! You gotta give this more time! He'll hurt you!" She said desperately, watching Remus' face fall.
"But... I love him! This has got to turn out a fairy tale, Batty. It just HAS to!" He said, clutching Isabelle's arms. "It HAS to!" He said again, tears rising to his eyes again. "Please just say it will!" His eyes pleaded to her as if knowing her answer before the lie slipped from between her lips.
"Of coarse it will, Cub." She whispered. Remus could sense the lie. Darn it ANYONE could sense the lie! He just needed to hear it whether it was a lie or not. He needed to convince his heart that this was going to turn out alright. It just had too...
