I'm really, really, sorry it's so late and short! I've been really buisy and really stressed. I had a big US History paper and a big English paper and my play closed last week and Science Fair is this week but I'm not done yet and it counts for 60% of my grade or something and I'm really stressed. So once again, sorry. I hope you like it! Please comment and thanks to all who do comment, I love you! Oh, and sorry this chapter isn't Beta-ed.

Chapter 4

"Excuse me?" Sirius asked as he grabbed back his now empty beer bottle.

"You're in love! I so proud of my little boy! All grown up and gay!" James cooed (far too loudly for Sirius comfort) and pinched Sirius' cheek teasingly.

A few of the other guys in the room gave Sirius weird looks as the girls burst out in fits of laughter.

"It means happy you idiots!" Sirius yelled loudly as he angrily elbowed a laughing James away.

"Don't get angry, baby," James smiled. "It's actually a good feeling once you get used to it."

"Don't call me baby! And stop talking so loud," Sirius said in a hushed voice "I don't even know the guy. So just shut up. Besides, how would you know anyways?"

"Aww! My baby's in denial!" James hugged Sirius again. "How cute!"

"Shut the fuck up, you bastard!" Sirius yelled as he tried to squirm out of his best friends grasp.

Remus sat on the carpeted stairs of the Potter's house and silently sipped his beer as his eyes skimmed over the pages of his book.

"Oh! I love those books!" a smallish girl with chocolate brown hair said as she approached Remus. "J.R.R. Tolkien is the best!"

Remus recognized as Abigail, from homeroom. "I just started it a few days ago but it's pretty good so far," he forced a simile.

"Yeah," she smiled back and sat next to him. "So…um,"

"Yeah?"

"Well you're not seeing anyone right now…right?"

"Well…no. No girls have really caught my fancy recently," he mumbled rather hesitantly.

"Oh…well. I was just curious, you know."

"Hm…" Remus nodded and went back to his book. He expected her to get up and leave but she didn't. She sat twiddling her thumbs next to him as the awkward silence was practically multiplying in time.

"Well," She finally stood up after Remus had progressed at least seven pages in his book.

"I'll see you in homeroom on Monday, then," Remus looked up at her.

"Um…I'm actually in your chem lab, not homeroom."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"Bye," she turned and walked away looking quiet heartbroken.

Chemistry. That's where she's from. Not homeroom. Remus mentally slapped himself.

He felt guilt in his stomach as he watched her walk away.

Don't feel so guilty. You did nothing wrong. You just told her the truth. You don't fancy any girls. The fact that you fancy boys has nothing to do with our conversation. And even so, I don't have a crush on any guys. Remus sighed as he put his book down and rested his head in his hands.

Well, said an alterative voice in his head, that one guy was pretty cute.

Yeah, the first voice said, but 'that one guy' was Sirius Black. You know…the school's womanizer.

"God! Now I'm Schizophrenic! What the fuck is going to go wrong with me next!" Remus swore to himself.

"Um…you okay, man?" a deep, nervous voice asked from above the confused boy.

"Oh," Remus took a sharp breath in as he looked up and saw the older boy standing at the bottom of the stairs shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot.
