~Sirius~
It was eating me.
What could possibly be so bad that Moony couldn't tell me? What's worse than turning into a monster every month?
If you really think about it, it's not that bad. Happens to all the girls.
But I was his best mate, he could tell me anything!
"Evans!" I shouted through the open portrait hole. Her bright red hair stood out from the friends she was talking to as they all whipped their heads in my direction. I motioned with a finger for her to follow.
I saw James's confused face and heard the girls' giggles. I ignored them both and lead Lily to a random empty classroom. Thankfully she was silent and unquestioning on the way.
"Black?" she asked as I sat myself down on a desk and chris cross apple-sauced my legs.
"Tell me. What's with Remus?"
"What make you think I know? Is there something wrong with Remus?"
"He told me he talked to you about a problem in the library today."
"So?" She sat down in the seat of another desk across from me.
"He won't tell me what's wrong."
"And?"
"I'm his best mate!"
"So?"
"I have a right to know!"
She smiled a cold smile that belonged to an ice queen, not a fiery-haired Prefect. "Says who?"
"Says me! Why would he tell you but not me? What's wrong with ME?" I demanded.
"Too personal," she replied.
"Too personal? I've watched him wake up naked, covered in another's blood in the middle of a field. I think we've reached the 'Personal Info' point."
She laughed and I waited. "It's not my secret to tell."
"Secret?" I asked, even more pulled in to Remus's dilemma than before. Lily's face fell and I knew she told me something bad. Well, bad for her. I smirked. "What secret?"
"Nothing."
"He wouldn't tell his best friend this, but he'd tell you? It's that bad?"
"It's not necessarily bad."
"So it's bad enough he wouldn't tell me, but he did tell you so it can't be that bad... He normally keeps things to himself." I pondered. Speaking aloud gives me more room to add things in my head, helps me think.
"Hey, we are really close too." By the time she had finished talking I had started sprinting to the common room. "Hey!" she shouted, following me in close pursuit.
I had to get to Moony. I HAD to know!
I bolted around the corner, but I ran straight into someone, which quickly turned to onto someone. In a confusing tangle of limbs, we both fell on the floor. A book slid to the other side of the hall. I tried to get up and reach it, but my arms wouldn't function. It was as if my arms were stuck to this guy!
"I'm sor-." I was cut short by who was laying underneath me.
"Remus!"
