Chapter 14
Sirius wrapped James’ invisibility cloak around himself and made his way through Hogwarts to the Head Boy’s quarters where Remus was now housed. Once there, Sirius sat upon the top stair out of the way and waited for either Remus to exit or someone to visit him.
He chose to wait for just the right opportunity rather than knock and wait for Moony to find no one there, as he reasoned that he would deduce that Sirius was responsible and scupper his plan. Let’s face it; Remus was a fucking genius so he waited.
And waited.
And waited…
After two and half hours he had virtually given up when he spotted that bastard Bratherton swaggering his way up to Moony’s room.
‘Fuck!’ He thought.
“Sir, could you please let Remus know that I’m here to visit him.” The Ravenclaw asked the portrait.
The effigy disappeared briefly and then returned; the door swinging open to admit him.
Sirius readied himself to follow him in closely.
Once in, he stayed in the short darkened corridor to reduce his chances of being discovered but he could hear the innocent byplay between Remus and Bratherton.
The blond sat down next to the werewolf in a relaxed manner.
“Remy, how’re you bearing up?” Michael asked; rubbing his back in a reassuring gesture.
“I’m fine.”
“I haven’t been by since last week ‘cause I thought you’d be busy revising.”
“Cheers, you’re right. I’ve been busting my arse trying to cram like mad for my N.E.W.T.s before they toss my arse out of here.”
Sirius had now moved silently to a corner of the room and had to stuff one of his hands into his mouth as listened to the sickening platitudes that the Ravenclaw was dishing out to his Remus.
“Have you left your quarters at all since last week?”
Moony looked away; a deflated look on his face.
“No. The house elves pop in with my meals and Madam Pince gives them any books I request so there’s really no need to leave.”
“Has Potter visited you?”
“Yeah, James and Peter came on Wednesday lunchtime but that’s it. I asked them not to come again for a while just in case Si... I mean Black tries to sneak in.”
Sirius almost choked as he heard this. He realised that this was the first time that he actually had second thoughts about his plan.
“Remus.” Michael said uncertainly. “I just wanted you to know that for what it’s worth it doesn’t matter to me. You know, you being a werewolf and all. I know you and I know that just because you were bitten by another werewolf and you change into one every full moon, that isn’t the Remus Lupin I know and lov....”
“Mike, don’t say it.”
“But it’s true. I do. I know we hadn’t got around to actually saying the ‘L word’ but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t have.”
“Mike, I...er.”
“Look I know that you think you’ve been in love with Black for years…” Sirius almost threw the cloak off and announced his presence at this revelation “…but I think you were more in love with being ‘in love’ with Sirius. How else could we have been together like we were?”
Sirius couldn’t believe his ears. Remus was in love with him and had been for years!
Why the hell hadn’t he noticed this before?
Maybe because you were busy fucking your way through the female student body of Hogwarts. His inner voice taunted.
“Maybe you’re right.” Remus conceded.
Hey, wait a minute! That bastard was trying to convince Remus that he wasn’t in love with him.
This was bad.
If Bratherton was successful, Sirius would lose the most import bargaining chip he had in winning Moony back.
He had to think and think quickly. He began to panic when the Ravenclaw leaned in and kissed the young werewolf. Remus resisted at first but after a few moments, he hesitantly returned the kiss and then with gusto.
No!
No, no, no, NO!
This wasn’t happening. He was not going to sit here and watch his love get down and dirty with his ex-boyfriend.
Black walked quietly over to the portrait hole and knocked on it loudly and then pressed himself tightly against the wall, ready to pounce.
The two men quickly broke apart.
Remus looked anxiously at Michael.
“Want me to answer it? Just in case it’s Black?”
Remus nodded.
The Ravenclaw made his way down the dark corridor to the entrance and opened it. He was perplexed that there was no one there. He turned to the portrait of Professor Dorning.
“Who knocked at the door Sir?”
“Why, no one Master Bratherton.”
At that point Sirius struck.
He forced the young man out through the portrait hole and outside onto the landing. Then quickly slammed the portrait shut.
“Clausus!” He cast a blockade spell onto the entrance so that no one could interrupt him and Remus and returned to the small sitting room to a rather bewildered werewolf.
He threw off the invisibility cloaked and announced his presence to a shocked Lupin.
“I’m sorry Moony but desperate times call for desperate measures. You wouldn’t see me and we need to talk.”
