I’ve got some news. This chapter marks the beginning of the second half of this story but in total it’ll be 13 chapters so here’s chapter 7.

Chapter 7. – Hurt

Sirius woke up the next day thinking that maybe he’d been wrong about how long Remus could avoid him.

The day before Remus had managed to avoid him entirely after their incident in the hallway. He’d gone to the hospital wing claiming to be too ill to be in class. Then as the day was coming to an end he’d gotten a message from Remus through James and Peter telling him to “Do not come with me tonight. I wish to be alone. That implies to you too James and Peter.”

James and Peter had been puzzled. That had been the first time in three years where he’d forbidden them to come with him to the Shrieking Shack during a full moon. He’d even threatened James and Peter to tell on them. None of them had dared to ignore the threat, remembering all too well Remus’s bad temper in the morning.

Now Sirius had decided Remus had been avoiding him enough. Sure it had only been 24 hours but Sirius had been waiting for Remus to express an interest, if there was any, since their fifth year. He’d been interested in Remus since they were fourteen. He’d waited long enough. He was going to go to the hospital wing and talk to Remus about yesterday’s incident. Get it clear for once and all if Remus was really interested in him like he was interested in Remus.

At lunchtime Sirius was standing outside the hospital wing.

He knocked on the door and madam Pomfrey opened them looking at him suspiciously.

“I’m here to see Remus Madam Pomfrey.” Sirius said trying to sound confident like Remus had asked him to come, then the confident left him and he added. “Please.” And gave Madam Pomfrey his best puppy dog eyes.

Madam Pomfrey rolled her eyes.

“Oh all right. But do not upset him. He’s not feeling well.”

“Thank you.” Sirius mouthed as he walked passed her and walked hurriedly to Remus’s usual bed. He pulled the curtains around Remus’s bed open, stepped in and closed them again. He did this all carefully not wanting to
wake Remus up. Then he turned around and saw Remus’s honey brown eyes looking at him.

“You’re awake.” Sirius said in a low voice.

“I know. You’re kind of stating the obvious.” Remus said drily.

“Well you caught me by surprise didn’t think you would be awake so soon.”

“It’s noon.”

“Well you usually sleep until midday after fu...” Sirius stopped when Remus glared warningly at him.

“There are other’s in here.” He whispered.

“...you’ve been sick like this.” Sirius quickly changed his sentence. Then he took a seat.

“Look Remus.” He said “I didn’t come here to talk about your sleeping habits. Interesting as they are. About yesterday. I...”

“Stop right there.” Remus told him hurriedly. Then he paused like thinking about what to say next then he started to speak again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When Remus woke up from the unconsciousness that always came after the transformation, he couldn’t fall asleep again. He kept thinking about yesterday’s incident with both Snape but more importantly with Sirius. He wondered how much Sirius would’ve read into it. He’d avoided him all day yesterday but somehow he knew Sirius would come today and want to talk to him about it. And Remus knew just what to do when he came.

He would lie.

He would lie because there was no way Sirius would be coming to him to express his mutual interested. He’d come to tell him he wasn’t interested and that he wouldn’t want to be his friend anymore because of this.

So he would lie.

Around noon Remus heard the familiar sounds of Sirius’s approaching footsteps. He watched as Sirius pulled the curtains open, stepped in and closed them again. All very carefully like he was trying not to wake him. Then he turned around and was clearly surprised at seeing him awake. He then made a stupid comment which Remus answered shortly. The next minute went into a pointless conversation and Remus was thinking the whole time.

“Get to the point Sirius.”

Then Sirius became really serious, sat down and said.

“Look Remus.I didn’t come here to talk about your sleeping habits. Interesting as they are. About yesterday. I...”

“Stop right there.” Remus said, mentally cursing himself for saying this so fast. Then he took a second to remember the speech he’d prepared this morning.

“About yesterday Sirius. It wasn’t anything personal. I didn’t do it on purpose...kissing you. I would have kissed anyone available during that time. Male or female...friend or foe. I was rather...desperate. The wolf needed...” Remus paused thinking.

“It will only make matters worse finishing that sentence.”

“It was the wolf’s fault. I barely remember what happened... it was so angry. It wanted some... action and it would’ve picked anyone available.”

Remus looked at Sirius’s...and did he dare think that...what looked like hurt face for a moment. Then Sirius smiled broadly.

“Okay. I...I just wanted to know that. I’ve got to go now, I’m missing lunch. See you Remy.”

“Bye Siri.” Remus said relieved that his lies had worked on Sirius.

Sirius was hurt. Hurt and angry. Remus didn’t have any kind of feelings for him. It had just been the wolf wanting some “action.” The more Sirius thought about it the angrier he got. He had gotten his hopes up and then it was all, the wolf’s fault. It had been so angry it had acted on instinct. And who’s fault was it, it had been so angry?

“Snape’s!” Sirius thought furious. “It’s all Snape’s fault. He was the one who got Remus so angry. Ohhh...he’s going to pay!”

Sirius walked to the Great Hall and scanned it when he got inside. He saw Snape and sat at the Gryffindor table, watching and waiting until Snape stood up and left. Then he followed him. Once Snape and him were in a safe distance from the Great Hall, Sirius called at him.

“Hey Snape!”

Snape turned around glaring at Sirius.

“What do you want Black?”

“It isn’t about what I want it’s about what you want Snape.” Sirius told him. This seemed to interest Snape and he raised his eyebrow in curiosity.

“And what is it that I want?”

“Well a few weeks ago you asked me, Peter and James why Remus disappears every month. Of course we didn’t answer you since it wasn’t any of your damned business.”

“And now it is?” Snape asked carefully.

“Not really but if you still want to know... then I suggest you go to the Whooping Willow. There are tunnels under it’s trunk. Just take a long stick and press it against the trunk. Then the branches will stop moving. Then follow the tunnel and you’ll see why Remus disappears every month.”

“Why should I believe this?” Snape asked suspicious. “I think you’re just trying to get me into trouble.”

“Maybe I am and maybe I aren’t.” Sirius said vaguely. “It’s your choice if you believe me. Either way this is how you’ll find out why Remus disappears.” Sirius shrugged his shoulders like he really didn’t care if Snape did what he was telling him then he turned his back on Snape and walked away, smirking deviously.

“Like a cat playing with mouse.” He thought. “If there’s anything I know about Snape that is that he won’t resist finding out an answer to his questions. And when he does...”

Sirius smirk widened.

“... then he’s in for a nasty surprise.”

Remus woke up the next day with a sinking feeling in his stomach. Before he opened his eyes he could smell James sitting next to his bed. No one of his friends ever came to visit him until he was awake unless...something had happened last night.

“James..?” He asked still with his eyes closed.

“Yes how did you know?” Was James’s reply.

Remus opened his eyes, looking at the worried faces of James and pointed at his nose.

“Oh right...smell.” James said in a low voice.

“What happened James?” Remus asked him in as demanding tone he could muster after a second full moon night.

“Well eh...yesterday after Sirius came here talking to you he was kind of upset. I don’t know why. And he was angry at Snape for making you so angry yesterday. And he thought it would be...funny...to...hmm...tell Snape that he could find out where you disappeared to every month if he went to the Whopping Willow after sunset, stopped it’s branches and followed the tunnels...” James stopped speaking for a while, dead pale.

Remus had a hunch at where this story was leading.

“No...” He breathed.

“Yes.” James told him. “Snape did but... fortunately Sirius decided to let me in on the joke and I managed to get there in time... well almost...Snape saw the end of the tunnels...Remus...he saw you as a werewolf.”

Remus closed his eyes for a minute. Then said in a dead voice.

“So now the whole school knows”

“No.” James told him. “Somehow Dumbledore found out what was going on and when I’ve pulled Snape out of the tunnels he was there. He told me not to breath a word about this to anyone but I could tell you tomorrow. Then he took Snape away. I don’t know what Dumbledore told Snape but he must’ve convinced him of shutting up about this because no one’s talking...at least not about you being a werewolf.” James smiled encouragingly.

“Well I have to go, Madam Pomfrey told me I could tell you about this and then I should let you rest.”

“But how about...” Remus started to say.

“Dumbledore and the staff now knows we know you’re a werewolf. We told him we had known for a while...”

Remus snorted. “A while is an understatement.”

“...but...” James continued “...they don’t know what we’ve been up to. See you mate.” James finished and then left.

When James’s words started to sink in the sinking feeling in Remus’s stomach got worse.

“I can’t believe he betrayed me like this.” Remus thought and before he could do or think anything tears were welling up in his eyes and started to flow freely down his face.

“I feel so... so...hurt.”

I know. It’s really short but I’ll more than make up for that in next chapter. It’ll turn you upside down.
Review prettiest please? I'm starting to think no one likes this story. So far I've only gotten one review and although I'm grateful for it, I'm greedy and I would like more please.
