Margaret purposely strutted to the Slytherin common room a satisfied smirk on her face. Spotting the two raven haired secret lovers sitting in the corner by the fire she crossed over taking a seat across from them.

"Well?" Regulus asked, looking up from the heated conversation they had been having.

"Well, it's done. You should have seen the hurt in the other ones eyes, and your brother was furious. I actually thought he might cry. He didn't know what hit him!"

"Really?" Severus asked leaning in trying to contain his joy at the news.

"Yep. So, what now?"

"Er, what do you mean what now?" Regulus questioned.

"Oh c'mon, I know all about your little plan to break up the famous Gryffindor four, and I want in."

"Why?" Snape asked, unsure weather he could trust her.

"I'm a Slytherin." She said, as if the answer should be obvious.

"Well, can we trust you?" Regulus asked, doubting her more than ever.

"You should never trust a serpent." she replied seriously. "But, I haven't told anyone about you two's little secret affair yet, so you might as well."

"Fine," Snape said, carefully crossing his arms over his chest, just so long as you keep your trap shut.

"Excellent!" Margaret said, a predatory smile forming on her face. "Tell me the next step during free period," she said hurriedly, before standing up and sauntering out of the Slytherin common room.

Lily and James sat cozily in the love seat facing the fire talking quietly with each other. Both looked up as a teary eyed Remus burst in. Lily immediately stood up and walked over to her dazed looking friend.

"Remus, what's wrong?" she entreated, reaching up to feel his forehead with the back of her hand fearing that he may be sick.

"He... he cheated on me," came his shaky response, the words sounding harsh and foreign in his mouth. He opened his mouth as if to say something else but closed it to stifle a sigh.

"What?" Lily gasped, taking a step back in surprise as James came up behind her placing an arm around her waist.

"What's wrong Remus?" James asked, confused at the shocked and slowly forming, furious look on his girlfriends face.

"Sirius, he cheated on me... with some blonde bimbo!" Remus said, hurt evident in every word.

"You're joking." James questioned disbelievingly.

Remus gave him a look that could kill and James took that as a confirmation that he was serious.

"Tell us what happened." Lily said through clenched teeth that came out disturbingly like a growl.

Guiding him to a couch, James and Lily sat opposite of the shaken boy and listened as he relayed all of what he had seen, having to stop periodically to try and stop before any more tears came out.

"This just isn't right," James said, shaking his head in disbelief. "I mean, he just showed me today the letter he sent to his parents saying that he was choosing you. I don't get why he would do that."

"I don't know, but he did, I think I'm gonna go back to the dorms and read." Remus said tersely before standing up and disappearing up the boys dormitory stairs.

Lily turned to James, fury burning in her emerald eyes. "I swear, I'm going to kill Black!"

Later that night, Peter stole out to meet Lucius. He walked past the familiar stretch of wall three time before entering the door that appeared. Sitting on a bed in the center of the room sat Lucius looking down at his swinging feet dejectedly.

He glanced up when he heard Peter approach and stared at him impassively although there was a smile in his eyes along with another conflicting emotion that Peter couldn't quite place.

"Hello Pete," he said, a faint smile on his lips.

"Er, hello Lucius. Look... I really didn't put that note on the door-"

Lucius raised a hand silencing him. "Doesn't matter, nothing really matters any more, every thing's just too damn confusing," Lucius muttered more to himself than Peter.

"Lucius, what..."

Lucius stood walking over to him. He brought a cautious hand up and cupped his cheek, bringing his soft lips to meet the smaller boy's chapped ones. Lucius sighed more in defeat than in contentment.

"Peter, I can't offer you a good relationship, I don't even know if I can offer you a friendship. But... I miss you, I... miss not just sex, although that wasn't bad," he said with a grin, "but I miss the talking and other little things. Look, I don't know if this could be more than sex and a few chats, but I want that." Concluding, he let his hand drop from the other boy's cheek and looked at him questioningly.

After a while Peter looked up from where he had been studying his shoes and met the other boy's grey eyes. "Yeah, I'd liked that."

Lucius pulled Peter over to the bed where for the most part they sat and talked until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Although the agreement had been along the lines of just sex, for each boy unbeknownst to the other, it meant so much more.

Sirius regained some of his control and ran out to the grounds. He had to find Remus, the last good thing in his life. What was that bitch thinking! Was she trying to ruin his life?! A fleeting conspiracy went through his mind, but he quickly banished that. He had to find Remus, he had to explain. He was determined. He had to make Remus see that it wasn't real it was a lie, and that Remus was all he wanted, all he would ever want.

Reviews are Love =D
