"What was that about Remus?" Sirius had to ask. Remus looked up with a smile, some syrup on his cheek. "Nothing Siri." He said. Sirius blushed at the cute image and nickname. He shook it away though and pouted.

"Weirdoes conspiring against me…" he muttered. Remus gave a little giggle and gave him a hug too, just so he wouldn't feel left out. "Now go finish breakfast." Sirius ordered playfully. Remus nodded and went back to his food. Well, at least it's an improvement. Sirius thought. But I wonder what will happen next…

………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was Friday. Finally… James gave a breath of relief. The last class was dismissed and he could get out and see Sirius, just to see how the Remus problem was going. He packed up his books and stuffed them in his bag. He made to leave the classroom with an impatient Peter, but McGonagall stopped him.

"Mr. Potter," she called in her craggily voice, "Come see me a minute." James looked to Peter and shooed him off with a wave of his hand. He walked up to the professor's desk. He stood at the end waiting for her to continue. She put down her papers and looked over James behind his square glasses.

"The Head Master has told me of Remus and his accident in Potions." McGonagall stated. James winced at the tone she used. "Am I aware that you and Mr. Black are keeping him in the Dorms?" she asked icily. James nodded, looking at his feet. He didn't see the teacher lift her chin in indignation.

"Why is it you felt no need to take him to the hospital wing?" the teacher criticized. James decided a shrug was the best defense. She gave a sigh and shook her head. "No matter. We have an antidote. But, due to the rare ingredients, it will not be ready for a week or two."

James head snapped up. "What! A week or two!" McGonagall nodded solemnly. James found the urge to rip out his hair. "But what about the-"James quickly bit his tongue when the teacher narrowed her eyes. James was going to say, "The full moon?" but realized he was supposed to play ignorant.

"The what, Mr. Potter?" McGonagall's voice was soft, demanding. James couldn't think of a response. "The full moon?" James felt the blood well up on his tongue from biting so hard. "You don't need to hide your knowledge. You should know knowledge is power." James stared at nothing berating himself his head.

"You will help him as you do now. But his young age is going to be extra difficult to deal with than the first time you confronted him." James looked up, his brows making a deep V. "Why?" he asked, his voice rough from not speaking. McGonagall put her hand over her eyes.

"If Remus' age is six, he was bit maybe a year before. The transformation will be incredibly painful and he may do nothing but hurt himself the whole night. Plus… as a child, he may wish to commit suicide at a point." James waited to bite his tongue again. He nodded. "I understand Professor. Thank you." James voice was low, grateful in her advice.

James turned on his heel. He stalked out with a hard feeling encircling his mind. The new information was something Remus never told any of them. "Oh, and Mr.Potter," the professor called out one last time. James stopped and slowly looked over his shoulder. "I would also advice you to keep Mr. Black in check if he can't stay away." So she also knew about Sirius.

James gave another nod and walked out. All these secrets Remus had were very difficult to keep, especially from Sirius. The messy hair boy weaved through the halls and to the picture of the bowl of fruit. He tickled the pear and rushed in to grab some food for his best friends.

Once he got a healthy amount from the house elves he continued his journey back to the dormitory. He got to the portrait of the Fat Lady with little interruptions thanks to the map. He walked in to the static and friendly atmosphere the common room held full of students. A few people called out greetings. He merely nodded and made his way to his friends.

Sirius was snoring on his bed while Remus was reading a book he found in his trunk yesterday night. Apparently Remus wished to read all day and Sirius fell asleep out of boredom. Remus didn't even glance up; he just flipped a page and kicked Sirius awake. Sirius gave a snort and shot awake as quick as a flash.

"NOT THE PINK BUNNIES OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Not even Sirius respective outburst rose Remus from his book reading. James, at a normal time would have laughed and made some kind of joke. But, this was no normal time and he was some what unhappy at the new information McGonagall revealed.

Sirius rubbed his eyes and looked around. He spotted James and was instantly bright eyed and bushy tailed. "My good friend Prongs is such a saint! He has brought me food! Food! The amazing food that cures hunger!" Sirius leapt up and swapped the plates from James. The boy skipped over and handed the other plate to Remus.

The six-year old merely put it on the floor beside him, taking a piece or two after flipping a page. Sirius watched quietly, eating a little bit more. After a while he notice no one was talking. He looked up and grinned at James. "Heh, he's been at this all day." Sirius explained. James just kind of watched. Sirius found that he couldn't place an emotion on his face.

James was watching because it never ceased to amaze him how Moony calmed down the sufferable hyper and obnoxious Sirius Black. Sirius could pull the best prank ever, and still feel extremely guilty or inexplicably proud with one look from their friend. Personally, James would never understand it. He just noticed that his two best friends were made for each other.

Sirius stared at James. He had this weird vibe James knew some thing and wasn't telling him. But that was crazy. There were no secrets between the Marauders. Right? Suddenly, Sirius didn't know. James seemed really off.

Peter walked in the dorms breaking Sirius and James eyes. Peter looked around. He got the feeling he missed something. He just pushed it away. "Hey Pete!" Sirius greeted. Peter waved and walked over to his bed. He plopped down and watched Moony read. A little hot bubble formed inside Sirius at the thought some one else could watch Remus read.

Sirius noted things were starting to happen when he thought about Remus. Good things, bad things, scary things. The gray eyed boy jumped up suddenly. Remus looked up at that. The older one found his cheek grows warm at that for some reason. OK, he decided, time for a chat with my good ol' buddy James.

Sirius grabbed James arm. "Time to talk." He growled low. Sirius turned sharply. "Do me a favor and watch over Remus, Pete. I have to do some thing with James." Pete jumped at the specific order from Sirius. He nodded and fiercely eyed Remus. Poor Remus looked so perplexed. Sirius left with his friend before more feelings popped up unannounced.

A/N: Whew. I know what I want to do for the next few chapters. I just wasn't sure how to go about this chapter. This one is some what like a filler chapter before I get to the more important stuff. Sorry about the shortness, it'll get longer.

If anything is confusing you, give me a review and explain in the next chapter.

Much love to reviewers!
