The week passed by with nothing much happening. Sirius stayed cleared of Severus, who was still angry with him. Probably even more so because Sirius was spending every waking moment with James. Not all by choice either. James was his best friend and all but he needed a breather. James barely let him out of his sight now. Every time Severus saw them together he would glare like he used to at Sirius. A cold hard glare that sent shivers up his spine and not the good kind. But Severus didn't try to get close to him either at least not intentionally. It was driving him crazy! He wanted to talk to Severus alone or at least be with him somehow, he couldn't think of a way to get away from James. Although James still hadn't brought up the subject about them going out again, Sirius knew it coming soon and he had no clue what he was going to say.

Maybe he should clear up the whole mess with James before he sought out Severus. It seemed like the other boy needed time to cool off. Lily was even giving Sirius the cold shoulder when he tried to pry information out of her on how Severus was doing.

Sirius shifted in bed and put his hands behind his head. He stared up at the ceiling not finding comfort in sleep for the fifth day in a row. Sleep seemed like a far off dream he would never be able to achieve again. How hard could it be to fall asleep when you were exhausted? Apparently really hard.

He sighed again and turned on his side. He heard rustling outside his closed curtains. It's probably James…

"Would you stop sighing? You're keeping me from getting sleep too. I don't need to wake up looking like I have two black eyes again." Remus popped his head in through the curtains. He was holding his wand in his right hand to give them some light.

"Remus what are you doing? You should be sleeping," Sirius said stifling a yawn behind his hand.

"I'm not getting any sleep because you are keeping me up." Remus tried a glare, it lost it's affect due to the fact Remus was smiling. He climbed in to the bed with Sirius and settled himself cross legged in front of Sirius, setting his wand down next to him.

"Sorry, I didn't know I was being so obvious about staying awake." He ran a nervous hand through his hair.

"Don't be. But I think I might have some good news that will lighten you spirits!"

Sirius visibly perked up. He sat up in bed and leaned forward. "What is it?" He asked anxiously.

"Lily came up to me today after our last class and said that you should be in the library at noon tomorrow to work on some homework for Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Sirius scrunched his nose in confusion. "Why would I want to do that? It's not due for another week?"

"Use your brain and I know you can think of it," Remus said poking Sirius in the head.

"Oh, you mean to meet Severus?" Sirius whispered and cupped his mouth trying to keep his voice as low as possible.

"Yes."

"But he doesn't want to see me?

"Do you know that for sure?"

"Of course. Let's just say if looks could kill I would be dead right now."

"That's not what Lily thinks, now be there at noon." Remus stared at Sirius until he relented.

He threw his hands in the air. "Fine, I'll be there, but if I get hexed or I'm missing a body part it's on your head." Sirius pouted and leaned against his head board.

"It's on my head then." Remus grinned knowing he won the battle.

They sat in silence for a few moments listening to the sounds of their other dorm mates. Peter was snoring louder than Sirius ever dreamed and James seemed to be silent. He sighed again for the hundredth time that week.

"Remus?" he asked looking down at his sheet that was crushed in his hand.

"Yeah?" Remus looked up him. Amber eyes wide with curiosity.

"Did you know about James liking me?" Sirius asked pleadingly. Hoping to find answers where he knew they most likely wouldn't be. He had to try though. Something had to give him some insight on how to deal with letting down James.

Remus shook his head, shattering any hope Sirius had. "I'm afraid not. I thought he liked Lily. It came as a huge surprise to me too." Remus was quiet for a moment. "But I'm shocked he was able to keep it a secret for so long. With Lily he could barely contain himself when he decided he liked her. But with you he was able to keep it to himself for a very long time."

"You're right, but now I think he's trying to make up for all the time he lost with not pursuing me. To be honest he's driving me up the wall. Sometimes I have the urge to say I have to go to the bathroom and never come back."

"Don't worry. I'm sure he'll calm down soon."

"I don't know." Sirius shook his causing his hair to fly in his face.

"What are you going to tell him?" Remus asked raising his hands above his hands, stretching like a lazy cat that just got up from a nap.

"I can't think of how to tell him no other than just saying no. I don't think telling him about Severus is the right idea because I don't even know what we are," he said.

"I'm sure you'll think of something. I'm going to go back to bed. It's not like we have to get up early tomorrow anyway." Remus said his goodbyes and left Sirius to think.

Some where during the late hours of the night Sirius was able to fall asleep and slept right through the ruckus of everyone getting ready and going off to start their weekends. The next thing he knew someone was shaking him awake.

"Sirius, you have to go to the library remember? It's already going to be noon," Remus said urgently.

"Huh?" Sirius mumbled in his groggy state. He was finally able to get some rest and someone wanted to take him away from his sweet sanctuary.

"Severus," Remus said in a low voice.

Sirius shot up from his bed and stumbled out of it; he got caught in the curtains and dressed quickly. Not even bothering to check his appearance. "Thanks Remus," he hollered and he barreled down the stairs almost knocking down a pretty red head who was smiling like she had a secret that only she knew.

Sirius wanted to take a double take of why Lily was smiling like she was, but he kept his steady pace trying to get to the library. He broke through the doors of the library with a loud bang which got him reprimanded by the librarian, he looked around while she scolded him about be quiet or something along those lines.

When she let him go Sirius shot off to the back of the library, it earned him more yelling from the librarian; luckily she couldn't keep up with him. Sirius looked down every single row and finally found what he was looking for.

Severus was hunched over a desk with his nose buried deep within the pages of a huge book. Sirius watched him for a moment before deciding that he should leave. "You're going to leave without saying anything?" Severus asked. He closed his book and looked up at Sirius.

Sirius continued to stare back not sure what to say. "Fine if you have nothing to say then I'll talk. You're going to stay with me today and I better not hear any objections." Severus got up from his seat and backed up Sirius against a bookshelf there was no where for him to go. Not that he really wanted to go anywhere. "Is that understood?" Severus asked before planting his mouth firmly on Sirius', as far as he was concerned there was nothing more he would rather do.
