Remus had just gotten back from another fling with Jack. He had learned he should stop in a restroom and really straighten up before returning to the dorm. Sirius had made quite the habit of commenting on him and Jack and Remus just did not feel like dealing with that tonight. The full moon was this weekend and with each passing day Remus grew more irritated and everything seemed to be more intense than usual. He pushed open the dorm room door and was displeased to find Pete and James playing a rather loud game of chess with Sirius laying across James's bed commentating.
Remus sighed and plopped himself down on his bed, picking up his homework and pulling his knees to his chest as he tried to focus.
"OOOH"
"DANM PETE!"
"BRUTAL!"
Remus groaned and gathered his stuff.
There's no fucking way I'm going to get shit done in here if those three keep it up.
As he headed to the door to go down to the common room, James stopped him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Moony"
Pete and I stole a bottle of Fire Whiskey from the Hogs Head Inn the other night and I intend on drinking it"
Remus raised his eyebrows, impressed.
"The others are probably waiting for us downstairs actually so we should get going."
James put the chess set away and ushered Peter and Sirius out the door.
"Fine by me, have fun" Remus said as he went to go sit back down on his bed.
"He's been acting weird, hasn't he"
Remus looked up to see James was still there and talking to him.
"Who Sirius?" Remus thought about it.
"Yeah he has..."
"Ever since the start of the year". Remus was relieved to know he wasn't the only to notice.
"Yeah, something's bugging him alright" James responded, deep In thought.
"You know his parents kicked him out right?"
Remus said quietly.
"Yeah it was right before the school year too. He came and stayed with me for a bit" James said realizing the timeline of things
Right before the school year? Sirius told me it was sometime in June
Remus decided it was best to let Sirius tell James that. He guessed Sirius had lied to keep the Potters from worrying.
Always carrying burdens on his own
Remus wanted Sirius to open up more but he wasn't really one to speak, he still hadn't told the others about how his wolf had gotten worse.
"Yeah..." James said clearing his throat and standing up.
"Hopefully he'll come around "
He gave Remus a knowing look before walking off to join the others downstairs.
Remus studied for an hour or two and had grown tired when he was interrupted by the sound of clumsy footsteps coming up the stairs towards him.
Great
He put down his book as he looked up to see a drunken Sirius standing (a bit wobbly) before him, his face was flushed from the alcohol.
"What do you want Sirius?" Remus sighed.
"Nnothing I only wanted to ssee my Mooony"
Sirius smiled sheepishly.
My Moony?
Remus's heart skipped a beat.
