It was a week into 6th year and it had been the worst full moon yet. Remus had gotten what he believed to be his most noticeable scar to date. It ran from the bottom of his left eye to his right jaw. And lately, this blemish was everybody's center of attention. It bothered Remus because he loathed attention and didn't want anyone else to find out his werewolf identity. Sirius had heard too, and tried to get people to stop the fellow students in the halls from talking about Remus saying things like, "Come on guys it's just a little scar," or "Hey don't talk about Remus like that, it's just a scar."
He knew that the comments and whispers were bothering Remus because the glimmer in his gorgeous eyes had faded. They were usually bright and cheery like little suns in his eyes and the flecks of gold would sparkle in the light. But now they just looked dull and sad. Something was wrong. Sirius was determined to figure out what it was... He cared about Remus too much to see him hurt like that.
It was later that afternoon when Sirius found Remus alone in the dorm and decided to help.
Sirius walked over to Remus and attempted to wrap him into a hug as they would normally do, but something was off. Remus immediately jumped away seeming almost scared of Sirius' touch.
"Remus are you alright!?"
"Um yeah, I'm alright Pads..."
Sirius didn't believe it for one second. He knew when something was bothering his Moony. Sirius contributed to pester Remus about what was wrong, but all Remus would ever respond with was,
"Yes Sirius I'm fine, I promise."
Remus was shaky and wouldn't even look him in his eyes. It didn't sound right. Sirius knew Remus was lying but figured Remus would tell him in time. As much as Sirius wanted to continue his pestering, he knew that Remus wasn't fine. For now, there was nothing he could do if Remus wouldn't reveal what was bothering him. He looked at Remus one last time before awkwardly waving Remus goodbye, now aware that touching seemed to be off-limits and was off to find James.
