Remus felt something inside him lurch. He couldn't… it wasn't… it wasn't possible.
"I can't do thiiiiiiis," the male voice came again, moaning as the last word left his lips.
As the wolf looked to his friend, he watched the realization wash over her face and her eyes grow. No, she mouthed. A lump was growing in his throat as he moved to look down the aisle with the offenders. He knew the confirmation he searched for was unnecessary. Both he and Lily peeked around the end of the bookshelf. Remus whimpered. The girl had him pinned to the shelf, her lips connected to his neck. Her leg rested on his hip, his hand grasping her thigh to hold it there. Her skirt was pushed up; his hand met nothing but skin. Quickly, the emotion went from despair to anger, and he stormed down to the pair. He ripped her off, slamming her against the opposite shelf. "He's gay, you whore!" He whipped around to stare at Sirius. "Or at least that's what I thought when he sucked me off last night before we went to bed!"
Sirius looked horrified as he stared at the lycan. He had never seen Remus this pissed… he also noticed the tears that flecked the corners of his eyes. "Rem, I- she- she just came onto to me! I swear!"
"Yeah? Well you fucking liked it! I heard you moan!" He was yelling now.
"No! I did n-," but Remus cut him off.
Angrily, he forcefully squeezed the bulge in the front of Sirius' school trousers causing the boy to yelp in pain. "Tell it to your cock, Black," he spat and turned to leave.
"Love, please!"
Without a second thought, Remus whipped around, punching Sirius in the face and sent him sprawling to the floor. "Fuck you! You never loved anyone but yourself, you selfish bastard!"
Madame Pince angrily rounded the corner just as Remus stormed off, followed by Lily who kicked Sirius in the shin as she walked by. The pair of them angrily left the library. The animagus sat up on the floor, thoroughly confused. He rubbed his face, glanced at the girl across from him, and scrambled up after Remus. He took off at a run, fully sprinting after them. He burst through the doors, rounding the corner so quickly he nearly wiped out, but steadied himself at the last possible second. "Remus!" he yelled. "Remus!" He neared the pair of them.
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" Remus exploded, whirling to face the approaching boy. Immediately, Sirius froze. His arms locked to his sides and his legs froze together as he collapsed to the ground, falling backward like a chopped tree.
"Timber," Lily chuckled.
Remus sauntered over to the motionless boy. "Listen to me you little son of a bitch. You do not… fuck. No. I do not deserve to be treated this way. I don't know how you could do this to me after what we've been through and how long we've been best mates before that. If you wanted to go back to girls, you should have never pretended to want me in the first place. So, so long. Fuck you. We're done." He smirked as he noticed tears building in the corners of Sirius' eyes. "I'm not falling for that. Have a nice life. Here comes your little girlfriend to un-jinx you." He turned and moved back to Lily who loyally looped her arm through his and they made their way back to the common room.
As they neared the portrait, the redhead looked at her friend cautiously. "Remus, are you okay?"
He nodded. "Fine, yeah. Totally. I'm fine."
She knew he was lying. She didn't press the matter.
"Password?" The fat lady asked regally.
"Rocky Mountain Oysters," Lily said. The two of them climbed through the portrait hole, and walked in on a nearly empty common room, save a group of sixth and seventh years draped over the furniture in front of the fire. They all had at least a cup of fire whiskey in their hands. Arthur Weasley, Frank Longbottom, Alice Holmes, Molly Prewett, James, and Peter all looked up as the two entered.
"Oh, come join us!" Molly beckoned. "It's just a harmless game of truth or dare!"
"Why are you drinking?" Lily asked.
"Cause it makes the game more fun! C'mon, Lils," Alice urged. "Have a drink. Let's play!"
Lily looked to Remus. "Let's do it," he said, firmly. Before she could protest, he tugged her over and pulled her down on the couch, sitting himself by Peter and her on the end. Lily took her glass from James who offered it to her with a smile. Remus, on the other hand, ignored the offered glass and snagged the bottle off the table. Immediately, he took a very large swig. It burned his throat, but it warmed his insides.
"So where were we?" Frank asked. "Ohhh, yes. Alice, I believed I just dared you to kiss me."
"Oh!" James interrupted. "Anytime someone actually takes a dare or a truth, everyone but them has to drink. If they don't take it, they have to drink."
Alice blushed furiously, rose from her seat, and moved to give Frank a peck on the lips. The group, including a very pleased Frank, took a drink. Lily noticed worriedly that Remus was drinking even when he didn't need to.
Another half hour into the game and Remus was so drunk that she was starting to worry. It came to be James' turn and he looked softly at Lily. "Lily? I dare you to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend. For dinner."
She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine, Potter." James smiled giddily and eagerly drank as everyone else did. Next, it was Alice's turn.
But before she could say anything, Sirius burst in through the portrait hole. He had a growing bruise on his left cheekbone and a solemn look on his face. "May I join your little merry-making?" he asked. The group beckoned him over, save Remus and Lily. As he sat down, he reflexively glanced up at Remus. The wolf's eyes were bloodshot and he was obviously drunk. This made Sirius feel, if possible, shittier. He was already driving the boy to drinking…
"As I was saying," Alice said. "Molly, truth or dare?"
"Truth," she said, her cheeks flushed nearly as bright as her hair.
"Is it true you have a crush on Arthur?" As opposed to answering the question, she drank.
"Ohhhhh, 's my turn!" Remus giggled. He looked pointedly at Sirius. "Sirius Black, 's it true that you're a worthless, lyin', cheating bastard?"
"Remus!" he objected. "I-," but the wolf cut him off.
"It's a yes or no question."
Sirius sighed and mumbled a nearly incoherent yes. The puzzled group stared at the pair. It was Molly's turn next, and before she even got her question out, she was giggling madly. "R-R-Remus? Truth or dare?"
"Dare," he said adventurously.
She burst out laughing. "Good! I d-dare you to snog James!"
Sirius jumped up angrily as Remus stood and began moving toward James. "Look, guys. Rem's had too much to drink. It's time for him to go to bed." He walked over to the wolf and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Angrily, Remus shook him off. "You're not my fucking mother!" He moved to the chair James was sitting in and moved on top of his lap to straddle him. Hungrily he captured James' frozen lips with his own. The wolf lightly caressed the boy's lips with his own. A moment passed and James started to respond. He subconsciously moved his hands to Remus' hips.
Laughing, the wolf pulled away and chuckled. "Did you like that Prongs?" James blushed furiously.
