"Remus what's going on mate" James stared at the boy as he closed the pages of his magazine and turned his attention to the boy who sat silently with his knees pulled up to his chest. His eyes stared directly at the floor, his eyebrows pinched together with concentration.
"Moony, this is totally unlike you, you've been running after Marigold for so long. What's the matter" Sirius said in a concerned tone that still hadn't pulled the boy away from the impending doom he called his brain.
Remus stared at the ceiling not speaking a word, his thoughts were running circles around his brain. His head felt so full that he was beginning to gain a headache.
"Marigold knows, or at least I think she knows" he mumbled under his jagged breath.
"What?" James questioned as he sat up in his bed, Sirius's face drained of any colour as he watched the lycanthrope blink back the tears that coated his eyes. Moony was so special to all of the boys, each in different ways. When Marigold came into the picture he seemed to become a better version of himself, he smiled more, he laughed more.
Remus was so happy, beyond anything that the Marauders could have caused. He seemed so comfortable in his own skin for the first time.
"She was working with Pomfrey yesterday while I was in the hospital wing, she said she wouldn't get involved because it was none of her business. But Marigold is smart, she wouldn't even need to go looking, the answer is pretty clear" his voice cracked as a single tear dropped down his cheek.
James' lips parted as he tried to find the right words to comfort Remus, but he knew that once Moony got in his head about something there was no getting him out. Sirius on the other hand moved closer to the boy who was growing anxious, he sat close to him to let Remus know that he was there, but not close enough to be in Remus' Personal space.
"Moony-" Sirius started slowly before getting cut off.
"It's fine guys, I've been dealing with this for years, it was gonna happen sooner or later" Remus explains with a defeated tone.
"It's Mari though, she likes you an ungodly amount, I'm sure she wouldn't care."
"James, I know you want to be helpful and try to figure this out, but we can't. We can't just drag her into this" Remus looked up for a second to see James' face, it seemed unreadable, creating plans and scenarios in his head. He knew that James had hope, he always did, always needing to fix things. But this situation wasn't something that couldn't be fixed. This was Remus' life.
