This is next chapter ^^ (oh, really? – yes). Thank you for the reviews – I love you all ^^

Chapter 4 – Amy Brown

How can I help anyone? In my state. I'm not good for anyone. She wouldn't want my help if she knew. Remus thought as Amy sat on his bed. She was stroking her fingers absentmindedly through her hair and Remus was relieved that she had finally stopped crying.

He sat next to her "Feeling better?" he concerned asked "Yeah, thanks" she said sending him another crooked smile. She was actually quite pretty, he thought, but on the other hand; the girls Sirius dated always were. Remus thought about fetching Lily as she was one of Amy's closest friends and probably would be more suited to cheer her up than he was.

Remus and Lily were both prefects and spent a good deal of time together. James always tried to talk Remus into praising James to the skies whenever he had prefect duties with Lily, but Remus never agreed. James was one of his good friends, but his obsession with Lily was his own problem. Besides Remus wanted to stay on good terms with Lily and he doubted that she'd like him very much if he constantly talked about the boy she despised.

"Do you want me to fetch Lily for you?" he asked, she looked puzzled at him "Why?" "Ehh… if you're upset… Won't you rather talk to Lily?" he asked nervously. He was awful at this kind of thing. "No…" at his quizzical look she continued, "Don't get me wrong; I like Lily very much. It's just… she's used to having that Potter-boy chasing after her and she's never got rejected. She tries to listen and empathies, but she doesn't understand" she wrung her hands nervously and looked sad down at her lap.

Remus had no idea what she was talking about getting rejected? Then suddenly he remembered his talk to Lily earlier that day "He's always hurting people, never giving a damn about how he makes them feel. He's so selfish. You know he used to date Amy Brown. Yesterday he broke up with her, she's locked herself in the bathroom, been crying ever since. She wouldn't even come out for dinner, and do you think he even cares?" That's what she'd said; Amy Brown. Sirius had never mentioned her, but on the other hand he never mentioned any of his girlfriends.

There she sat, looking miserable. Remus had never truly thought about how his friend's constantly changing girlfriends affected them. "How long have you been going out for?" Remus asked and almost hit himself as soon as the words left his lips. Amy looked hurt at him "He never…?" she whispered, clasping her hand over her mouth. Remus feared that she would start crying again, "Oh Amy" he said, putting his arm around her. He felt terrible for her, but yet there was a little sting deep inside his chest, a jab of jealousy. He angrily pushed it aside. He had to care for Amy right now, had to make up for his friend's thoughtlessness.

She sniffed a bit, but didn't start crying. "For two weeks" she sniffed. Remus stroked her hair as she snuggled into his chest. Suddenly the door burst open and Sirius stumbled in, his eyes fixing on Amy and Remus sitting in a close embrace on the bed. His eyes widened and he snapped: "Well, this is cosy" He turned on the heel and walked out before Remus could say anything. Remus wanted to run after him, grabbing him and hugging him tightly, stroking his hair, kissing him, but that wasn't a possibility. Sirius didn't like him, he'd just kissed him because he was bored and besides Remus wasn't gay, he couldn't be. Instead he hugged Amy tighter to comfort her. At the sight of Sirius she had started to cry again. "Shh... It's all right. It's all right"

That's it ^^ I hope you like the slightly different view on Sirius, I feel that no stories tell about all the girls he dumps – the whole story's not going to be about that, but I just wanted to write this ^^ I'm sorry about the extremely short chapters, but I hope that I upload new chapters often enough to compensate for it... Reviews are appreciated ^^
