REMUS POV

I stopped drawing the map a long time ago. I spend my alome time drawing Sirius. Since that night I have been thinking of him. Of how he talks and how he smiles and how he looks when he thinks really hard. I have to draw him. It seems like his face hides a lot of mysteries and there is more to him than what he shows on the surface. I challenge myself to make him look real.

Suddenly I hear steps from the dorms. I quickly whisper "Hide your secrets" to the drawing. Noone can see this. I'm sure that if anyone sees they would think that I'm creepy and weird.

I watch the lines erease themselves, and soon the drawing is just an empty parchment.

Just in time, because I see Sirius coming to my table.

"What's that? " he says.
"An empty piece of parchment can't you see?" I say sarcastically.
"Thought you were working on the map."
"Well not anymore"
A silence follows. I don't know where to look, what to say. I just feel so awkward around him since that night. I stare aimlessly at the fireplace.
Suddenly, before I have time to react, Sirius dives after the paper and says "Show your secrets ".
I try to take it from him but I realise it's too late.
