"Sirius fucking Black!" an enraged Lily Evans called, storming through the ground towards the dejected Gryffindor with a look that could kill directed at Sirius.

Cringing, Sirius reluctantly turned to face the fiery red head, "Yes Lily, what do you want?" He staggered as Lily shoved him hard in the chest.

"How could you do that to Remus?!"

"I-"

"Do you even realize how much you hurt him?!" she fumed.

"Lily-"

"He probably loved you, do you know how much you mean to him?!"

"I didn't-"

"What?! You didn't think, you didn't take into account anyone else's feeling but your own?!"

"No it's-" Sirius tried to explain.

"It's always the same with you Black," Sirius grimaced at the use of his surname. "You date and dump them, snog and dump them, shag and dump them. Although I must admit you broke you're record with Remus, you stayed with him longer than anyone else! How could you, and to such a great guy, one of your friends no less!"

"Lily, listen to me!" Sirius yelled starting to lose his temper.

"No, you listen to me! You not only lost a boyfriend, but probably one of the best friends you've ever had! Don't bother trying to talk to him; he wants nothing to do with you. Let me ask you this, was it worth it? Was it worth breaking an amazing person's heart for a quick snog with the Slytherin slut?!" she finished, her chest heaving from her outburst.

"No" Sirius whispered quietly trying to hold back the stem of tears at hearing how badly he had hurt Remus. 'But it wasn't even my fault!' Sirius thought bitterly as he glared at the fuming girl.

"Exactly so what could have possibly-" Sirius had had enough and he showed it as he clamped a hand over the outraged girls mouth.

"Listen to me," he hissed. "I didn't do it, I was just sitting there thinking, when she just came up to me and started talking. Then she stopped, looked over my shoulder, and shoved her tongue down my throat. Before I could pull away, she did and Remus bolted. When I yelled at the little bitch all she did was smile and walk off! I didn't do anything! So save your anger for someone else because I sure as hell don't deserve it! I mean why would I do that after I gave up everything to him. I may be a lot of things but I'm not an idiot and I'm not a cheater. Every time I was with a girl I made sure I wasn't with someone else at the time, understand?! So I already feel like shit for hurting Remus and right now I need to find him and explain to tell him that. . . that I love him." Sirius paused a moment to think of the enormity of what he had said, but then quickly turned back to Lily "so unless you're here to help leave me the hell alone!" Sirius finished before letting the girl go.

Lily took a step back with a shocked but calculating look on her face. "I believe you" she began slowly "but right now, no one else does, and you need to let him cool off. I suggest you wait awhile before you talk to him."

"But-"

"If you care for him at all-"

"I fucking love him Lily!"

"Okay," she snapped. "Well since you love him, the best thing to do is give him a little time because if you try to talk to him in the state he's in now, you'll only make things worse and one or both of you might do or say something you'll regret latter. So back off for now, alright?"

Sirius stared at her evenly, thinking about what she had just said. "Fine, I'll wait awhile, but will you please tell Prongs what I said, I don't feel like getting raged at twice in one day."

Lily nodded curtly and without a word turned and walked back to the castle.

Sirius heaved a sigh before flopping himself onto the ground and lying down with an arm over his tear streaked face. 'This is going to be a long week,' he thought irritably.

Remus sat on the edge of the astronomy tower looking down across the ground. He heard the faint murmurs of what sounded like a screaming match but passed it of as being just the wind. He wiped angrily at a tear that stole down his face but then decided it was no use as they kept coming in an unyielding flow. How could Sirius do this to him? After everything that had happened, why would he do his? Remus remembered all the times that people had warned him. Heck, even James, Sirius' best friend had warned him of Sirius' tendencies to date and dump. Sirius had seemed so sincere, he had often told Remus that he was the only one for him, that he would never hurt him intentionally, and that he had grown out of his old promiscuous ways. Apparently, everything said that had once brought Remus a feeling of bliss, turned out to be nothing but a lie. Oh how he wished it were true, to be able to feel the warmth those words had once brought him instead of the now emptiness felt. Remus tightened his worn out cloak around his shoulders as the fall air blew stronger around him. Despite the cold he no intention planned of going back to Gryffindor tower. He just couldn't face Sirius, not now. He sighed leaning back against a wall drawing his knees to his chest. Without even realizing it Remus drifted off into a light, fitful sleep full of dreams involving a long raven haired Gryffindor.

Lucius, Regulus, and Snape sat on the blonde's bed in the Slytherin common room discussing their success.

"So, we've successfully broken your brother and his boyfriend up," Severus said, a wicked grin on his face. "I even think I saw each of them crying at one point or another." Regulus ground his teeth but didn't speak. "Also, we've managed to get that sad excuse for a wizard out of the marauders, now all that's left is to seal the deal."

"James, right" Regulus nodded "What do you suppose we do?"

"He's dating Lily right?" An odd pang of remembrance shot through Severus but he shook it off. Lily and him had ceased being friends long ago and he was determined not to let the old happy memories of their friendship bother him anymore.

"Yeah," Lucius said, answering his question. "It's about bloody time too."

"No," Severus snapped. "It's about bloody time we break them up."

"Look Sev," Regulus said, finally deciding to speak up. "Are you sure we should do this? I mean we've hurt a lot of people so far."

"Yeah," Lucius said in agreement "Maybe we're going a little too far with this."

"No! Think about all they've done to us! We deserve to have the great victory of revenge and they deserve to have its bitter taste shoved down their throats."

"Maybe you and Lovegood have more in common than I thought," Lucius murmured.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Severus snarled.

"It means," Lucius began evenly. "That you're losing it, you've been a little off you're rocker lately with all this. Maybe we should just call it quits and let them sort stuff out. This is getting a little messed up." Regulus shifted uncomfortably seeing as to how he was in the middle of the two opposing boys.

"Can't handle you're little Peter upset?" Severus sneered.

"Shut up! You're letting this revenge eat away at you, what we're doing is cruel."

"No it's not; you're just developing a damn conscience! Such a week excuse for a Slytherin." Snape spat.

Lucius looked stricken, although he quickly recovered his composure. "Just stop, it's not too late, and even Slytherin's need conscience's you dolt."

"I have one; I'm just not as weak as you."

"I'm not weak," Lucius said, his face mere inches from Severus' now. "It's fine if you want to continue this and eventually get your ass kicked when they find out or something just as bad on your part, or when the guilt eats away at you and you're left with nothing but emptiness, remember that you had this one chance to get out." Lucius spoke in a deadly whisper.

"As if that would ever happen, like I said this plan is flawless."

"Whatever, you're choice, you're problem." Lucius said, shrugging as he stood. "But I want out. Good luck. Oh and Regulus," he said, turning to face the boy who had remained silent during their little argument.

Regulus looked up his brow creased in thought. "Yeah?"

"Just because your insane boyfriend is going down, doesn't mean you have to go down with him." With that, he swept out of the room his robes billowing behind him. The silence that was left in his wake was uncomfortable to say the least. After awhile Snape finally spoke up.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," he said, placing a hand on Regulus' knee. "You trust me right?"

Regulus thought about his answer for a moment before sighing and nodding his head. "Yeah, I trust you, but maybe we are going a little far with this."

"Good, and no, it'll all work out, it's all just a matter of trust and good planning," Snape reassured with a smile before leaning in and placing a kiss on his lips, and then getting up walking to the door. "Tomorrow," he called over his shoulder, "We commence the next and final stage."

"Right" Regulus said with a weak smile. As the door closed he lay back on his bed thinking about what he had gotten himself into.

AN: So sorry for the wait but computer issues were involved. No matter, I'll try to have the next chapter out soon but no promises since school just started.

And as always please, please, please review to at least let me know that you're reading and have some opinion of my story either way.
