Author's Note: It's been awhile. I felt like updating. Thanks bluepillow75 for a kinda motivation for updating (since you reviewed) so thanks. And thanks to Realilly too for reviewing. Enjoy.


It was now January and now we were all consumed with work, work and more work. It was harder for me to see Andrew during this time since he was starting to get a ton of N.E.W.T.S. stuff and my teachers were even starting with O.W.L.S work and preparing us for it!!

But the mental image of Remus and Sirius still floated in my mind every so often. At the time I really didn't know how I felt about homosexuality. So I was very confused. A part of me was upset that Sirius chose Remus (since I still had a little crush on Sirius, even though I was so glad to be with Andrew) but I was happy that Remus was distracting himself.

Andrew and I finally had time to meet up with each other. It was late at night in a classroom and we thought it was in a perfect location where no one would intrude and everything seemed fine. We didn't realized that we forgot to silence the room and lock the door. (We weren't doing anything naughty... we were talking and laughing, kissing.) As a result we were caught after hours.

But it wasn't juts any prefect who caught us... it was Remus.

"Rachel!" Remus exclaimed as he saw me and Andrew in a erm... interesting position. It was just kissing I swear!!

"Oh shit!" I said as soon as I realized what just happened.

" 'Oh shit' is right. What's going on?" asked Remus "What were you doing?"

"None of your business." I said. "This is Andrew. We've been together since--"

"What doesn't matter right now. Why are you with someone who's older than you? A seventh year! You're too young," said Remus who was now offically in overprotective brother mode. "There are many eligible... people who are in your year. And if you thought the whole situation was ok then why did you hide it from me and your friends? What were you--" I couldn't take Remus' annoyance (even though he was kinda right in some ways) so I interrupted.

"You shouldn't be talking," I said. "You and Sirius sleep together! I saw it so you can't deny it. Both of you were naked so don't you dare talk about hiding things. You're so hypocritical!" I exclaimed

"You saw us?" Remus had a look of shock on his face. "It wasn't what you thought."

"You guys never did it?"

"No. But I won't lie to you. Sirius and I are... together."

"Sirius Black?" asked Andrew very suddenly. "I'm just surprised that's all. Since all the girls love him and I didn't expect that. I didn't know that you knew them-- Sirius, James, Remus and Peter. Their pranks are awesome." Andrew said to me.

"This is so strange," I said.

"I can't get you guys into trouble. No matter how awkward this meeting was. You guys should leave before another prefect comes by. But it was still nice to meet you Andrew. But if you do anything to her... then you're in for it." Remus smiled and left

Remus and I discussed that night a week or so later after it occurred. He told me that shortly after that he and Sirius finally told James and Peter about their relationship. I still had so many questions about how it happened and why but I knew that I had to be supportive and accept it. Which I did and the whole situation taught me to be more open-minded.


A week later after that, the "Willow incident" or "the prank" or whatever the hell you want to call it occurred. During Transfiguration, Sirius came to my class and told McGongall that I had to go to Infrimary with him and that it was important.

"What's going on?" I asked him, knowing that the full moon was yesterday. "What's wrong?"

"I better explain it to you now... since I'll have to tell Remus what happened too."

A little while later I yelled, "You did what! Why!? Were you even thinking?!"

"I thought you wouldn't react that way," Sirius muttered.

"Well imagine how Remus is going to react." Sirius didn't reply and just got really pale.

"Sirius," said James as we walked into the Infirmary. "Remus just woke up. You have to be the one who tells him since it's all our falut."

"I'm so screwed," Sirius said to me. "This will ruin my whole relationship with him." And he was right.
I wasn't there when Sirius told him. James, Peter and I were outside the curtain (Remus was in the left hand corner and his bed was blocked by a curtain) but we all heard what Remus said.

"YOU'RE SO STUPID!! I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMONE! IMAGINE IF I DID... I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSELF! YOU DON'T THINK DO YOU!! YOU CAN BE SO SELFISH," Remus was panting since he was still so weak.

"Remus calm--"

"Don't tell me what to do," he snapped. "Go! It's over,"

"No Remus you don't mean--"

"Mr. Black, please leave," Madam Pomfrey exclaimed.

"No," Sirius murmered but obeyed. He left the Hosptial Wing and I could see his eyes were watering with tears that were waiting to come but just not in front of us.

"Madam Pomfrey, " I walked behing the curtain. "May I?"

"Sure," she said and left.

I sat down on Remus' bed and we both didn't say anything for awhile.

"I was really the stupid one," Remus said after awhile. "I trusted him. I really thought he was better than that."

"Don't say that," I said.

"I put too much trust in him,"

"Wait a minute," I said, knowing what he was implying. "Did you two--"

"Yes and a few times," he answered.

"Oh Remy," I moved over next to him and started to hug him.

"You should go Rachel," he said, almost pushing me away. "I'm really, really tired and all."

I left and went back to the Gryffindor common room. I checked on Sirius but he wasn't in his room. He was in bathroom and I thought I heard a sob or two.


Review!! Please.
