Holy hell, over 100 views/reads/whatever. That's incredi-balls! Chapter uploads will be slow, with exam season and the like, and they won't be tremendously long. So Sorry, but enjoy! :)
Sirius was angry. It was so unlike Moony to go off the ball like that. James wasn't so angry but everyone else. Okay, it wasn't a great prank, no It was a great prank, but it just went down badly. There was only one thing he could do now; he trudged back to the dormitory. It had just started to rain, and the pitter-patter matched his short strides.
He passed April in the corridor. Neither looked at the other. Sirius just didn't care, if he hadn't have been so stupid, to leave her or to even go with her in the first place; he wouldn't be dealing with this right now. Later maybe, but not now.
He wasn't the first back to the dorm. Remus sat on his bed, reading some book.
'Remus I'
'Sirius you just don't understand do you, just leave me alone, you've done enough'
'I'm sorry'
Remus blinked. The two words that came from Sirius' mouth he didn't think he would hear ever. Two word's Sirius black had vowed never to say during their third year. The same day they found out Remus was a werewolf. How would they all react when they found out that he was into guys, more specifically Sirius? No, they wouldn't find out.
Sirius stood there silent, as Remus sat, obviously contemplating what he had just said.
'Sirius'
'Remus...'
Remus made up his mind.
'I need some time to think, I forbid you from considering yourself forgiven yet'
'So you will forgive me at some point?!' The tone in the room had definitely improved.
'Perhaps, If you behave, now I'm going downstairs. I promised I'd go over Peter's Divination essay.'
'Cool, yeah, I'll see you later'
Remus left the room, and Sirius collapsed on the nearest bed, Remus' bed. He inhaled slowly, the scent of his best friend.
Remus walked through the common room, and saw Lily, James and Peter sitting together.
'Peter, your essay?'
'Yes, right here' The two walked off to the other side of the room.
'So Dumbledoor heard everything?' Lily asked, eyeing Remus till he was out of earshot.
'Yeah, he wasn't mad, just told us to be careful next time over who turned into who. I don't think McGonnagal was pleased.'
Remus was now out of earshot. Lily took her chance.
'James we need to talk about Sirius and R-'
'I know, but we can't do what you plan alone'
'You, you know'
'Live in a dormitory with them for a few years and you'll figure it out after a day. We need a crack team of operatives, people we can trust. List them off'
'My bestie Freya, easy'
'Not Peter, never. Freya is okay, so long as you can assure her silence. What about Irigo?
'Peter... what are they talking about?'
'Sorry Moony but this has to be in for tomorrow can we hurry this up'
'Alright, Alright'
Sirius lay in bed, thinking about many a thing. School, Remus, the prank, April telling everyone, Remus, Remus and his parents.'
Wait 'Why am I thinking about Remus? I'm not gay, I'm too into tits for that. No, ass more. But guy's have nice asses too, like Remus. Stop, this isn't right. Just sleep, I'll feel better in the morning.'
Sirius sat down to breakfast. The thoughts of last night hadn't gone away. Sirius is NOT gay. He noticed April smiling at him. Confusing. She walked over to him
'I'm not mad, for yesterday. Do you want to just try again at some point?'
'I would, but I'm not free till the weekend. Sorry!'
'That's fine, it's hogsmeade, we could go for something to drink. I know a place where the owner has a privet room, and she owes me a few favours.'
'Umm, It's just tha-'
'So it's settled, Ill see you on sunday? Great'
She flounced off, pride in her step. Sirius gasped, he'd been outspoken. He didn't really want to go but you don't stand up April Dent.
'But Remus'
'no, enough about Remus'
'How will he react. He won't be happy, then how will you feel'
'Shut up'
Sirius walked back through the corridor, and turning a corner bumped straight into Remus.
'Remus I'm sorry'
'Sirius, I had a think, and I'm not ready to forgive you. Your to reckless and crazy and you don't care that any of us get hurt by what you say and do.'
'Rem I-'
'No Sirius'
Remus walked away, leaving Sirius standing there in the corridor. Fuck it, he's going with April, and he's going to make her scream his name.
The wake of what was just said hits Sirius at that moment. Was that real sadness, anger and annoyance in Remus' tone? Sirius keeps walking, entering the bathroom on the fourth floor. For the first time in 7 years, Sirius cried. Of course nobody could hear but that wasn't the point, Sirius just didn't know what to do. And he missed him. He missed Remus. For he was so close yet so far. Finding his resolve, he straightened, cleaning and streaks down his face before going off to class.
'So group, I bet you're wondering what we are doing here. We have a mission, and we need you all. And don't try to turn on us, we took precautions. I, James Potter with chief executive Lily Evans need you all, to perform a series of scenarios which will solve two major problems in this school, Sirius Black's whoremongering, and Remus' loneliness. Let's get to work.'
NEXT TIME ON: ACCEPTING THE TRUTH
'Plan set James'
'Yes, now we just need to catch a Sirius'
'How did we end up like this'
'What, nearly naked with me healing you in the prefects bathroom. No idea, it's just like a normal day for me, but you're not a hot chick'
'Holy hell did they just do what I think they did.'
'Yeah, I may have got the dosages of potion mixed up.
'Sirius, urgent, we need another guy for our Hogsmeade date, pronto'
'Why'
'Many reasons'
