James made it to the dorms to find Sirius already in bed. He knew he wasn't asleep yet. He wanted to press the issue of what was going on with his best friend but he also knew Sirius well enough to know that he wouldn't talk unless he was ready. James sighed and walked over to Sirius' bed.

"Look Padfoot I won't press but you should know by now I won't judge you no matter what it is." James said as he sat on Sirius bed.

He waited a few minutes before he decided he should get to bed himself when he heard something.

"Did you say something Siri?" James asked.

" I said I'll tell you when I'm ready, but…... but not before I tell Sev. He deserves to know before anyone else." Sirius said quietly.

That's when it hit James. Only Lily really called Severus Sev and James only did it to tease him since he didn't like nicknames but only gave Lily a pass. The way Sirius said it told James everything he needed to know. He looked at Sirius and whispered to him "How long have you been in love with him?"

Sirius's head snapped up so fast you'd think he was just told they had a double history of magic with professor Binns the next day.

"How'd you."

"Because the same way you just called him Sev it's the same way I call Lily Lils. So again I ask you how long?"

"Since third year when I realized I wasn't as straight as I thought I was. It was when I stayed late from practice that one day and I…. I saw him in the shower. You know he's a lot more attractive with his clothes off." Sirius said with a sly grin.

"I really don't need to know that." Remus said as he walked into the room.

"Oi I thought you were already in bed."Sirius said. "No I was downstairs in the common room finishing Professor McGonagall's essay."

"That's not due till next week." Sirius said nearly shouting.

"Good thing we set that permanent silencing charm or the whole tower would have woken up just now. And yes it's not due till next week but unlike you I don't wait until the last minute to do my work." Remus said while walking over to Sirius's bed.

"So finally ready to admit you got a thing for a certain Slytherin huh?" Remus said with an eyebrow raised.

"How'd you know about that? Is it that obvious" Sirius said putting his head in his hands then flopping backwards on his bed. "Do you think he already knows? I bet he does how could he not if you two know."

"Well I know because werewolf remember I can practically smell the lust rolling off you wherever you're near him. Not to mention your heart beats faster and then there's the underlying guilt you use to feel after a prank. Also you stare at him when you think no one is looking. I use to think that its was you just trying to think up your next prank but again the smell of lust determined that was not the case. But to answer your question, I doubt that he knows. Honestly if it were for the fact that I have heighten senses i wouldn't have known and James didn't know until you called him Sev. Your secret is safe for now but your right you do have to tell him even if he doesnt return your feelings which again i doubt considering….." Remus couldn't finish his sentence due to the fact that he had a very large black dog on top of him.

" Did you just complete the transformation? I mean we knew a dog but a grim Pads really. " James said in a state of shock.

"This is great and all but could you get off of me." Remus said almost out of breath from the weight of Padfoot.

Padfoot jumped down and then just as quickly as he changed into the Grim he was back standing as Sirius.

" Considering what?" Sirius practically begged Remus.

"He smells the same as you do whenever hes near you. I'm just not sure he's realized it yet." Remus told him.

" So what you're saying is that i have a chance. Small one considering the last five years but a chance nonetheless. I have to do something major there's no way my quick 'im sorry' earlier is going to even remotely cover this. I need ideas guys." Sisrus said with a desperate tone in his voice.

" How about we all go to bed and sleep on it maybe we'll have ideas for you in the morning lover boy." James said as he threw Sirius's pillow at his head and ran to his own bed.

" Just so you know you are the exact same way when it comes to a certain redhead James. I wouldn't go in to much on Sirius right now if I were you." Remus said as he got up and walked to his own bed.

"Whatever." James said.

"Are you guys finally going to bed all the yelling has kinda kept me up" Peter half whispered to the others.

" Well damn the whole gang now knows." James said.

" you guys weren't exactly quiet. Also why not just talk to Lily. She's his best friend." Peter said nonchalantly. He rolled over and immediately went back to sleep.

" Since when did he have good ideas? Sirius asked

James shrugged and climbed into bed.

"Welp night boys. Sweet dreams Siri" James said blinking quickly. Sirius rolled his eyes and muttered good night to the others and closed the curtains on his bed. He knew he wouldn't be sleeping just yet he wanted to think of a way to apologize to Severus. He knew Severus would hate him more than likely and think it was another cruel joke. He needed a way to show he was sincere about wanting to be with him. Maybe Peter was right, Lily knew him best maybe getting him some of his favorite things would help.

He tossed and turned a bit more getting comfortable before sleep finally took him.

None of them sensed the presence in the far corner in the shadows that had caught the tail end of the conversation. Or noticed the way his eye gleamed when he realized that one among them was in love with his grandson. The one named for the stars of the Dog. It was all happening fast, faster than was expected.

She looked around the dark room as she came to. She lost count of the times she has lost consciousness but she was sure she'd been here for at least a few weeks. The door to her left had a slot at the bottom where food was brought to her and there was a small window so far up that she knew the ceiling was at least 20 feet. She could feel the coldness from outside.

This was the longest she'd been awake since she had arrived here. It smelled as if the room hadn't been used in centuries meaning this place had to either be abandoned or it belonged to a really old family. Based on the aesthetic of the room it seemed like part of some sort of castle.

Eileen didn't have any known enemies other than her family, but knowing her brother it could be one of his. What could they possibly want with him and her for that matter. Hopefully they don't know about Severus being his son. She would never forgive herself if something happened to her nephew.

She heard footsteps in the distance and the room started to gradually get colder. She had wished she still had her wand on her to at least get a heating charm casted but she couldn't find it.

The person stopped just outside her door. She heard what sounded like growling and she could have sworn she heard them say 'Loki' as well. Oh dear brother what have you gotten yourself into now she thought to herself.

AN: So this is more like me right? Yeah it just kinda came out there. Playing around with a destined lovers idea here for Sirius and Severus not sure if i'm for it yet. I hate that so far so much of severus' young life has been dictated for him. I had been playing around with a couple different people to be the mystery kidnapper but thanks to trickster32ue they helped me finalize my decision. Would you hate me if I killed off Eileen? I think i would hate me if i killed her off lok.
