~James~
I ran to the common room as fast as my legs would take me. "Sirius!" I yelled as I clamored past the portrait hole.
He was sitting in Remus's love seat when I yelled again, "Padfoot!" He glanced up at me above the top of his book. It reminded me so much of Remus I stopped in shock - wow! If only Moony could see this!
"Yes, James?" Sirius asked, flipping the page. I was reminded of my dire situation and keeled down beside him. "I think Remus is stealing Lily away from me!"
"What?" Sirius asked as he closed the book and scanned me with his black eyes. The slight edge of panic I recognized in his voice didn't reassure me in the slightest. "Remus would never do that."
"I saw him. He was hugging Lily in the dark corner of the Library, you know the place we use to plot?" I explained.
Sirius sat up from his lounge like reading posture. "Are you sure? Can't that be, like, a girl-guy friend thing? Like a guy-guy hug?"
"Have you ever hugged one of your strictly friends girls?" I asked. His worried brow answered my question.
"I'm going to go have a chat with him," I said springing up from my crouching position. A fist grabbed my collar and pulled me to the ground with an "Oh no you don't!" My elbows were pinned to the carpet by Sirius's knees and he weighed my stomach with his butt. I rolled and bucked and squirmed but couldn't escape. "Sirius, you fat arse!" I cried in desperation.
He leaned forward and forcefully whispered, "What if you're wrong? What if he really isn't seeing Lily - They are friends you know - and you confront him? Then, he feels you don't trust him therefore leading into him not trusting you! And how would we continue and finish our 6th year without Moony? How would we survive without Moony!?" I silently agreed with him. He avoided us for a good week after one of our pranks went wrong, and even only a week felt like forever. What if I lost him?
Then again, What if he really is going behind my back with my girl?
"Besides," Sirius continued, "it would be cruel to hurt him like that."
"But what if he is stealing Li-"
"But what if he isn't?
We glared at each other a bit, waiting for the other to cave. Sirius's resolve was steely, but if he really took the time to think about it... What if Moony was with Lily? How could he do something like that to me? Hey, wait, shouldn't Padfoot be backing me up on this?
Someone cleared their throat behind Sirius's head and he sprung off me in alarm. "Moony!" he squealed in alarm.
Moony's eyes looked crazy pissed off, but he smiled at us. "Just grabbing my book guys, no need for pornography in the middle of the common room."
Padfoot stuttered, "No-no Moony, It- I just, It wasn't!" while I snorted at Remus's joke and Padfoot's poor reaction.
"Well, no need to stop just because of me," Moony added, grabbing his book and stalking back out, leaving Sirius with a fish like look to his face. I laughed and he punched my shoulder. Playfully - I think.
Padfoot scrambled back onto the love seat and fished his book from underneath the couch where it was sprawled on it's folded pages like a spring. How did that end up there? He began reading again, but stayed weirdly gloomy. What's with him today?
