So this chapter has a quick James pov, then a quick Lily pov. There's a bit Lily/James going on, but nothing too big, just a little. Hope you like it. Again, please Read&Review, I would love it.
(Quick James pov)
"Remus, you have to talk to him." Sirius had just done something I never would have thought, but I knew I had to fix everything. Of course, I won't be the one talking to Sirius, but I'm going to be the one to make sure what needs to be done will happen.
"I don't want to."
"Damn it Remus, quite being stubborn. You're the reason that little outburst just happened. You have to talk to Sirius rather you want to or not. He's you're best friend, and you love him."
"I do not love him." Remus looked up from his book, anger spilling out of his eyes. "I tried to be nice in rejecting him, I tried not to make a scene. Sirius though went and took it too far, making a scene. What Sirius did wasn't my fault, he just needs to learn how to calm down and not take things so badly."
"Are you kidding me? Remus, that was all your fault."
"It was not. I didn't ask for Sirius to make a scene."
"But you should have figured he would do something like that."
"Why?"
"Merlin's Remus, because you guys love each other and yet you reject him."
Remus shut his book loudly and stood up standing right in front of me. "I. Do. Not. Like. Sirius." and he stormed out. I just sat there dumb founded. What is with Remus. Everyone knows that he loves Sirius, so why is he rejecting Sirius so much?
"What do we do now?" Peter asked.
"Stay here, I've got a plain." I walked down to the common room and to the girls stair case. "Lily. Lily. Lily I know you can hear me. Please come down this is very important." I waited and nothing happened. "Lily please. It's not about you and me, it's about Remus."
"I'll be right down." I scowled. Why does she come down when it's about Remus and not me. "What is it?"
"Why don't you like me?" she huffed.
"I thought you said it was about Remus." she started heading back up the stairs.
"Wait, it is, sorry, I was just wondering. Um, I think we should sit." I walked over to the sofa's and she did too, a little more weary. "Well, let's see, you know about Remus and Sirius right?" she nodded. "Sirius, just got rejected again, and he had a outburst. And I know you don't care about Sirius, but you care about Remus. And Remus is, for some reason, denying that he loves Sirius, and he's not going to fix what happened, and if he doesn't Remus won't be happy, and Sirius won't be happy, and well, I'm afraid to say it but, Sirius might not even, well, let's just say he's not caring about his life any more."
Lily looked at James with some sympathy. "What do you want me to do?" James couldn't help but smile at the thought of Lily helping him.
"It's very simple. I tried talking to Remus, but it didn't turn out well. And you're probably closest to Remus than any one else besides Sirius. I was hoping you could talk to him, and convince him of his feelings, and try to make things right between him and Sirius."
Lily smiled. "Of course. You know James. You're alright sometimes. I thought that you were just someone who loves to break rules and be a, well, a prick. But you have great loyalty towards you're friends, and I like that." she got up and left the common room. I just sat there frozen with what just happened. She just said she liked me. I, I'm liked by Lily. I gave a whoop of happiness then ran back to my dorm to tell Sirius, only remembering that he wasn't there.
(Quick Lily pov.)
I walked over to Remus, who was sitting in a corner in the library, reading a book upside down. "Interesting?" I asked, pointing to the book."
"What, oh, yeah, it's very interesting."
"What's it about?"
"Oh, you know, wizard things." I rolled my eyes.
"You do know it's upside down right?" he looked at the book, then turned it right side up blushing. I sighed. "Remus, we need to talk."
"I don't want to. Besides, it's none of your business so just leave me alone." he looked back to his book. I sat down in front of him, took the book out of his hand, and looked him straight in the eyes.
"We need to talk. I heard what happened with Sirius. You have to talk to him Remus. You can't stop denying these feelings you have for him. They're there and you know it. Why do you keep pushing them away?"
"Because I don't have feelings for Sirius." Remus' anger was starting to flare. It was weird, I've never seen Remus really angry before, it was sort of scary.
"Remus, stop it. You have feelings for Sirius, you always have, you've told me, and you've told Sirius, and James. You've even kissed Sirius."
"That doesn't mean anything, Sirius and I were both drunk."
"Remus, drunk people do what they want to do. They don't just do random things, it's what they want to do."
"I don't care, I don't have feelings for Sirius." now my anger was starting to come out. I don't understand how guys can be so pig-headed sometimes.
"Remus, I know that you like him, no, I take that back, I know that you love Sirius. I also know that right now, all you're thinking about is Sirius. You feel horrible about rejecting Sirius, you feel horrible that Sirius is feeling the way that he is. And all you want to do right now, is go comfort Sirius. The thing I don't understand though, is why you're not doing it. What is making you shy away from him? What is making you feel like you can't be with Sirius?"
"Because I can't. It will never work out. I'm too, I'm not right for him."
"Remus, you're perfect for him. He's perfect for you. I don't believe you. Tell me why you don't want to be with him."
"Because of who I am alright. Because I'm not who I tell everyone I am." I looked at him, then I looked around the library. There were a couple people still around. I grabbed Remus' arm and pulled him out of the library and into an empty classroom.
"What do you mean, I'm not who I tell everyone I am? Remus, I don't understand."
"I'm not human ok. I'm not a wizard. Not a pure wizard at least."
"Well everyone knows that you're a half-blood. But why does that matter, I'm Muggle born."
He shook his head. "No, no, that's not what I mean. I mean that I'm, well I'm." he stopped and thought for a second. "I'm not a pure breed as people say it. I'm a mixed breed, a mutt. Someone who's not a pure human." I looked at him for a while, contemplating on how to respond.
"R-Remus. Are you trying to tell me you're a," I whispered, "a werewolf." he bowed his head. I looked at him wide-eyed. "How come you never told me. And you never told James, Sirius, and Peter. They're you best friends."
"I know, they're the only friends I have now. I had you, but. I want to keep them, and if I go out with Sirius, he'll find out, and then he'll be disgusted with me, and he'll never want to look at me again, and I can't deal with that. I'd rather not have him then have him for a little while and then never see him again."
"Remus, listen to me, and listen to me well. No matter what happens between you two, Sirius will always love you. I know he will. I've seen the way he looks at you. He's not in love with you, he's obsessed with you, he needs you like he needs air to breath. He's suffered two years of rejection and he still comes back for another chance. He won't leave no matter what."
"You don't know that." he looked down again and I took his chin, making his eyes meet mine.
"Yes, I do. I know that Sirius needs you more than anything else in this world. That if he ever looses you, he might as well be lost too. I know that if I'm fine with you being a werewolf, Sirius will perfect with it. Now go find him, and tell him you love him." Remus nodded, a little scared, and confused at what just happened but left anyways. I chuckled when he was out of the room. "Took you long enough to tell me." I muttered under my breath. Now, I wonder how long it will take him to tell James, Sirius, and Peter.
