A/N: Started writing this the day after I posted 7. Too excited to stop. I know that canon dictates they all found out about Remus in second year, but I'm not canon. Neither is this, slightly. ACK JUST DON'T KILL ME, OKAY?

As always, if you see the fiction under the name of anyone that isn't going by the name Kasey Marie, rmhill10, Admin Sev, or SlytherinRamona, they are frauds, and I will use my sonic screwdriver on them.

Third year student, Peter Pettigrew figured something out. Well, more than one thing really. The first being that Remus Lupin was indeed a werewolf, the second thing he figured out was that he had officially ran out of chocolate frogs. It was one of the few moments that food wasn't the most important thing to him, though. Remus dominated most of his mind at that moment, while he looked in vain through his trunk for his chocolate frogs. It made sense, once a month Remus would go away for a few days, come back looking really worse for wear, then get better completely after about a week. Just when during the month did Remus leave? During the moon cycles, of course. Peter wasn't so scared of his friend as much as he was a little miffed that he never told the boys. They were his best mates, and James would've probably found it the most awesome thing ever. Peter supposed he had his own reasons

The second thing that bothered Peter was the disappearance of his newly bought chocolate frogs. This wasn't the only crime committed on chocolate law. He also noted two days ago, Sirius complained that his chocolate dipped fake wands were gone. James' couldn't find his chocolate malt balls. Even Remus' outrageously large chocolate brick was gone, though Remus didn't speak but about it, he kept oddly quiet whenever a new chocolaty item went missing. Peter was certain that Remus had something to do with the theft, and couldn't wrap his head around what he was angrier about, the chocolate stealing or the secret keeping.

Peter sighed, closed his trunk and began making his way back down to the common rooms. It was nearing the end of the school year, all the children has just finished taking their final examinations, everyone was making their goodbyes and enjoying what little time they had left at school before hopping on the train back to Kings Cross. That night, Gryffindor was to be hosting a party to celebrate their most certain win in the House Cup, which was to be announced during the feast. All around, Peter could see the preparations for it all. He found Remus Lupin with his tie hanging loosely around his neck and a slightly unbuttoned collar, and his robe was hanging about his shoulders, looking rather untidy. His hair was sticking up from being pressed against the couch he was sitting in and he only had one sock on. He seemed to be enjoying a book entitled Lycanthrope Romps, which was the latest in young adult wizard fiction.

"Remus," Peter began. "I've lost my Chocolate Frogs." Remus stiffened, looking up.

"What's it to me?" he asked mildly. Pete stared him down for a few seconds, and then exhaled, sitting down next to him.

"Clear out your pockets."

"Um… My what?"

"Clear out your pockets, Remus. I want my chocolate back." Remus bit his lip and looked down, hesitantly reaching into his robe pockets and taking out all kinds of candies. All of them were chocolate-based products. Peter frowned, seeing his Chocolate Frogs.

"I… I really like chocolate?"

"Remus, why are you stealing people's chocolate? This makes no sense and is, quite frankly, a little weird."

"I just…" Remus closed his book. "I had a chocolate craving, been having it for a while. It'll pass like it always does."

"You sound like Lily on the week before the end of the month. Speaking of months…" Peter tilted his head. "Where are you going every full moon?" Remus gasped, shaking a little. One could swear that his hair turned a little grey right then and there.

"None of your business!" he yelled, standing up. Students who were prepping for the party stopped to watch the two. Peter stood as well and stepped back, scared he might transform or something.

"Just answer the question, Remus. There's no hiding it now." Remus raised his hand as if to slap the boy. Peter shut his eyes, flinching.

"STOP IT YOU TWO!" Sirius dropped the banner he was helping put up and ran between them. "What are you doing!?"

"I'm about beat the crap out of fatty, here!" the lycanthrope yelled. "Now if you'll excuse me mate, but step away!" the rebel stood his ground. He pushed Remus back, away from Peter.

"I said stop!" Sirius said, drawing his wand and pointing it at Remus. "I'm not letting you get into some stupid brawl with your friend. Peter, leave."

"But I-"

"Leave!" Peter scooped up his rightfully owned chocolate and ran off, with his departure, everyone went back to work. Sirius pointed his wand at the chair. "You, sit down."

"Leave me alone!"

"I said sit!" Sirius yelled. Remus sat. Sirius sat down next to him and lowered his wand. "That's better. Now what the hell are you thinking?" Remus glared at the ground.

"He knows." He muttered. Sirius leaned forward.

"Knows what?"

"He… He just knows!" Sirius was unfazed.

"Knows what?" he repeated. Remus didn't answer. "Is it something I would know? Remus, are you hiding something from us, are you in danger? We could help you, you know that."

"I'm fine!" Remus yelled, Sirius didn't even blink.

"No you aren't." Sirius sat down next to his friend and clamped on arm on his shoulder "What's going on?" has asked softly. Tears sprang to Remus' eyes.

"I'm a monster." He whispered. Sirius cocked an eyebrow, confused.

"You're the gentlest person I know, Remmy. What do you even mean? You couldn't hurt a fly unless he was some dangerous creature like the ones in Defense against the Dark Arts. You know, the ones you know so much more about than us." Sirius smiled. "You certainly aren't one of them."

"B-But I am. You don't understand. I am one of those… You saw me before. But you never told anyone about it." Remus choked out. "Christmas Eve you saw me." Sirius' eyes went wide and he removed his hand from Remus' shoulder standing up.

"You… no. That can't be."

"You found the secret tunnel under the tree. You met me when I… it isn't even really me. The wolf is separate from me, really."

"You never bothered to tell me?" Sirius hissed. "I thought I was going to die that night and you didn't bother to bring up that it was you?" tears rolled down Remus' face.

"I'm so sorry…" he said weakly. Sirius glared at him, but then he saw the sincerity in his friend's eyes, and his face softened.

"Hey… no harm done, right?" He sat back down. "You're scared, I get that. I'd be scared too. Why didn't you tell us?" Remus pressed his face into the rebel's shoulder, hiding his tears.

"I can't leave this school, if word got out, people would tell their parents, and I would be forced to leave. My kind isn't liked much. For good reason, too. I'm… I'm a monster." He repeated. Sirius hugged his friend.

"You're not a monster; you're Remus J Lupin, proud Gryffindor. Brave, talented, clever and let's face it, you got nice hair." The boys shared a small laugh. "Remmy, you're a good person. I don't care if once a month you turn into a raging wolf demon monster thing. You're still Remus. It'd be just like a bird, they turn into raging monsters too, once a month."

"Hey! It's not like that!" Remus protested. Sirius motioned to the chocolate around him.

"Really, now? It isn't?" Remus looked around a slumped forward, and Sirius took note of a bit of chocolate on his face. He rolled his eyes and took a bit of his sleeve, rubbing it off. "You're hopeless."

"And you're… the greatest friend I could have." Remus said. Others started looking at them now. The two looked rather affectionate, holding each other and cleaning each other's faces. Both boys turned red and disconnected from each other, facing different directions. Sirius gave a sidelong look at the lycanthrope, feeling his face feel hot. What gotten a hold of him? And since when did this room get so hot? He wiped sweat from his brow and took off his vest.

"Sheesh, open a window or something, too hot." He said. Remus looked at him, taking note that he only bothered to button up about half of his shirt, which was wrinkled. He looked messier than the werewolf himself. There was something about the dirt stains on Sirius' uniform, or maybe it was the sweaty brow. Remus got up suddenly.

"Yep, forgot. Library book, last day of school… going to… library…" Sirius blinked. "…bye." Remus ran out of the common rooms, chocolate flying out of his robes.

"What a strange little werewolf." Sirius commented.

"Werewolf? Who? Tell me! Ugh, and clean your damn shirts." Potter flopped onto the couch, right on top of the candies Remus left. "Ugh! You're so messy!"

"Ahh! James!" Sirius jolted up, tearing his eyes from the retreating form of Remus. "No one! No one is a werewolf here. Werewolf on campus? What? What a stupid idea, shut up James!"

"I barely said a word! Now tell me, who is this werewolf?" James lowered his voice "Is it someone we know?"

"I really think you should hear it from the guy himself…"

"So it's a guy werewolf." James looked around "Is it Snape? Oh please let it be Snape, maybe we can get him kicked out of this school!"

"It's not Snape! It's… tell you later… too many people. And anyway, you should really, really hear it from him…" Sirius swallowed and James groaned.

"No fun!" he got up. "You're no fun at all!"

"Whatever, James." Sirius mumbled. He got up, deciding to catch up with Remus at the library. Something was still off, and he needed to find out what.

OoOoOo

Remus felt confused and odd as he made his way to the library. It was a very accurate feeling indeed. There was plenty to be confused about in his mind, he may or may not have snuggled his best mate and then imagined him with no clothing on. That entire picture was confusing enough. It could've been because instead of rejecting the werewolf, he decided to just like the person, not the wolf. It could also be because of the way he dressed, which made all the girls swoon as well. Or maybe Sirius Black was just plain attractive. Whatever it was, Remus was falling pretty hard for his best friend, which made him feel odd. He already knew he was odd enough, not even really human, smartest one in his class, not all that social. But this was even odder. Weren't boys supposed to like girls? He figured that was the rules of it all. He was to grow up like his parents, find a nice wife, settle down and have a kid. But whenever he dozed off during class, or daydreamed while pretending to read whatever book he chose that day, Sirius dominated his thoughts.

It wasn't even normal anyway, his was only thirteen. Sure, there were people in his year that had girlfriends and boyfriends, but none of them were serious. There might have been hand holding and a quick snog when people weren't looking, but it was nothing more than that. It was nothing compared to the relationships the upperclassmen had. Remus turned the corner. He heard a voice behind him and nearly squeaked in slight fear.

"Remus… where are you off to?" Sirius asked, catching up to him. Remus looked over him.

"Um… library." He said.

"The library is back in the other direction…" Sirius sighed. "Remus, what's going on? Don't tell me you're a vampire too."

"I'm not! I Just… feel funny, I suppose." It wasn't a lie.

"Funny how? Need to see Madam Pomfrey kind of funny?" Remus' lips formed a tight line. "Remus, you're all sweaty. Gross!"

"I'm just… I really like chocolate." Remus began. Sirius snorted.

"We know!"

"Shut up! Anyway, I really like chocolate." He stopped walking. "And there's this one bar of chocolate. It's the most delicious brand there is, it's beyond wizard magic, how amazing it is. And it's funny too, and smart… well, kind of."

"Suddenly this doesn't sound like a bar of chocolate."

"Let me finish! But this bar of chocolate… it's a friend. And I can't eat a friend. As much as I want to, and I want to, I must stay away. Because that chocolate bar would never, ever go for a person like me. And the Bar of chocolate isn't… like me. So I'll settle for the lesser known, not as good chocolate, because I have to… if that makes sense." Remus slid down against the walls of the hallway, Sirius looked at him like he was mad. "I just made no sense…"

"You're in love with Lily!" Sirius yelled. "No wonder you're acting off! James would kill you! Lily is chocolate!"

"What!? No! Not Lily!" Remus rubbed his temples "Bloody hell…"

"Then who? Not… Not Snape, right?" Sirius sat down next to Remus. "Who's the chocolate? Is it Peter? Ginger Lee? Norah Thompson? Jack? Rose?"

"They're… I… they're all wrong." Remus didn't look up.

"James? Remus, do you like men or women? I have no clue, really." Sirius huffed "You're really confusing."

"I don't mean to be! I just… oh screw it." Remus look up, reached over and grabbed Sirius shoulders and pulled him forward, kissing him quickly. Sirius yelped, eyes bugging out of his head. What the hell!? Remus shut his eyes, blushing furiously. Sirius blinked, not really fighting to get away, but not really knowing what to do either. He put his hands on Remus chest, softly pushing him off. Remus broke away and squeaked.

"Oh no…" he said. He got up and ran off. Sirius didn't follow him.

OoOoOo

Back at the Gryffindor common rooms, James was leafing through Lycanthrope Romps and wondering where the quality behind young adult wizard fiction went.

"This is the worst novel ever. He's a man eating werewolf, and THAT'S the quality she falls in love with? What is this rubbish!?" James said to himself. Remus came bursting into the common rooms and James looked up, smiling "Remus! Stop running!" Remus looked over and stopped.

"James I really need to pack up and-"

"Shut up!" James demanded politely. "Thank you! Now, I'm so bored out of mind, that I started reading some terrible book about an idiotic romance. I need you to amuse me! Do that thing where you can charm your hair to turn ginger!"

"James, I'm very busy and would rather go up to the dorms." James took note of the tears in Remus' eyes and decided not to be a total jerk today.

"Remus… what's going on? You look like you just lost your best friend, but I'm right here!" James motioned to himself. "So that can't be possible."

"I may or may not have… snogged Sirius." Remus whispered. James grinned in delight.

"Finally! Really, it's about time! I'm so proud! Just, don't get cozy in front of me, really. I completely support the both of you on hundred and ten percent, but I don't want to see it. Gross. Anyway, how'd it go? He snog you back? Wait, ew. Don't tell me that. Let's talk about Lily."

"Wait… you're fine with that, James?"

"You are aware that Peter and I both have been anticipating the moment you two found out your very much gay for each other, right?" James shook his head. "You're so behind on the times. Anyway, this is no reason to cry at all. Unless… oh dear, did he reject you?"

"Not… exactly. He just kind of pushed me away and looked at me like I was insane for a moment, and then I ran away." Remus looked over at James in disbelief. "You really don't care?"

"Well, I care, but not in a bad way. You two would be kind of weird together, but it'd work. Now why the hell would you run away?" Remus shrugged.

"I felt… that I was no longer needed in the environment?"

James shook his head and flicked Remus on the forehead. "Stupid excuse, you should go back and kiss him again, to show you're serious."

"I don't think I should take that advice, James."

"Please, I'm the master at love advice."

"I think you aren't, James." Remus looked at him blankly. James flicked him again.

"Shut up! There's a simple solution for this. Just let me think." James turned around, holding his head in his hand. "I'm working on it…" the boy snapped his fingers and grinned.

"What? What is it?"

"The party! He'll be your date to the farewell party tonight! But you'll need something… not like what you're wearing at all." James motioned to Remus. "We need to change… all of this."

"You just motioned to all of me!"

"Exactly! I know what to do! A suit, no… pinstripes! Red and gold, too!"

Remus began to walk away "When you're done being a dumbass, I'll be up in the dorms."

"Okay, okay. I'll be serious here, serious for Sirius! Ha! Get it?" James got the biggest glare in the world of all glares. "Fine, fine! I'm not funny! But you're getting dressed up, come with me." James grabbed Remus' sleeve and dragged him upstairs.

A/N: So basically, Peter is a fatty, Remus is PMSing because he's a werewolf and werewolves PMS, James is fabulous as usual, and Sirius is too thick to figure things out.

Yep, this is a good chapter.
