A/N: Here's chapter 7. I try not to disappoint.

Chapter 7Sirius' POV

I followed Remus and only heard the last part of his little "speech" to Fayre.

I saw that Fayre was shocked but that quickly turned into realization and then into curiosity. Remus sort of chuckled to himself and suggested going to the Common Room.

Fayre sort of nodded and followed him. She stared at him. And that's when I knew.

She had just fallen for Remus Lupin.

And it sounded like Remus had fallen for Fayre Monroe.

Remus never liked anyone… But, why Fayre?

I felt like a spy watching them walk to the Gryffindor Common Room.

If Remus likes Fayre, if he even loves her, I will not let anything get in between them, including these stupid budding feelings. Remus was more important than myself. Which meant:

Remus Lupin can love Fayre Monroe.

And I hoped they would be very happy together.

Back to Fayre's POV

I was laughing with Remus when Sirius walked into the Common Room. Remus looked up and then looked at me with those melting eyes.

"I'll just leave you two to it then," he said getting up. He sounded resigned. I wanted to scream. To shout! Please don't leave me alone with him! But Remus got up and Sirius took his spot with a goofy smile on his face. I rolled my eyes and looked away before I could look into his grey eyes.

"Aw, c'mon Fayre! I don't even know why you're mad at me! If it's about how I might've hurt Matilda by kissing Carley… Then… Well…. I didn't know you cared that much about Matilda," said Sirius haltingly. Was he seriously talking about his ex-girlfriend here?

"Matilda?" I asked, momentarily confused and turned to look at him. His grey eyes looked confused as well.

"Well, who else could I have hurt…?"

God. He really was an idiot.

Or, he couldn't admit it to himself… I knew how Sirius thinks. Contrary to popular belief, he isn't actually as conceited as everyone thinks he is. He just acts it, but really, he can't believe that anyone could possibly love him. That no one can love him.

Actually, I think I once heard Lily complain about how Remus thinks the same thing.

Wow, they actually have a lot of common…

"I don't care about Matilda," I said not answering his question.

"I was wondering why you would, I mean, considering you told me how much you hated her last year," said Sirius with a smirk. I threw up my hands.

"She was a know-it-all!"

"She's a Ravenclaw…"

"EXACTLY! Know-it-all!"

Sirius laughed and I laughed with him.

"So, do you forgive me for whatever I did?" he asked after a moment of us gathering our thoughts. I frowned.

There was silence; I figured Sirius was doing his puppy dogface that he seemed to have gotten better at since fifth year… But, I wasn't looking at him. Unfortunately, he noticed my dyed red hair (using magic…).

"Ya know, I have a thing for red heads," he said putting a more muscular arm than from when he was eleven around my shoulders. I cracked a smile.

"Brilliant. Lucky for me, I'm not a natural red head," I said turning to look at him. He looked at me with his silver eyes, not hardening like how they usually did with others, but open. The silver swirled around his pupil, like melted silver in a pot. We sat there, sort of staring at each other. And then Sirius cleared his throat.

"Yeah, your natural hair color is Lime Yellow," he said taking his arm off of me. I rolled my eyes.

"Lime Yellow is not a color."

"It SO is."

"Is not!"

"The Daily Prophet wrote a story about it…so…"

"They did not."

"Did too!"

"Are we REALLY having this argument right now?"

"Why yes. Yes we are."

Remus' POV

I watched them laugh and then Sirius had said something. She had turned away and I could see he was doing his signature puppy dogface. But, considering she wasn't looking at it, he had to do something different. So, he put his arm around her shoulders and he said something that made her smile a bit. Then she had said something back. And then… they sat there, staring at each other.

My chest gave a pang as they stared at each other longer than what was needed.

Sirius really did love her. And he didn't really love many people. And it looked as if she loved him too.

So, as they had starting laughing, I promised myself I wouldn't get in the way of Fayre and Sirius' relationship.

Sirius Black was finally in love.

And I wasn't going to be the one to mess it up with my feelings.

A/N: POOR REMUS! I KNOW! IT'S SO SAD! I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY!

I know what you're thinking. Well, then Innocently Beautiful, how in the world are you going to fix this? Sirius just vowed not to get in the way of Remus and Fayre. And REMUS promised not to get in the way of Sirius and Fayre.

Bit of a problem there, eh?

WELL, don't worry about it. I got it ALL under control. Kay?

:DDDD
