Their Tale (Sanders Sides x Harry Potter) (DISCONTINUED!)

Chapter 28; Uhhh- The Sequel

It's my birthday-
Okay, so for anyone who does not know me in real life, how old do you think I am? Am I eighty? Am I actually seven? How old do I seem to you?-

"Janus, I appreciate it, but... This is something I need to think about with myself first. I haven't fully come to terms with it, but it's something I can do alone." Remus smiled.

"Why are you keeping this from me? I thought you trusted me, but you're lying as if I'll believe it and let it go. No, I care about you; I'm not going to let you hurt yourself like this in silence." Janus insisted.

The Slytherin let go of the hug, and sat in front of Remus, their fingers interlocked.

"I don't have to tell you anything, Janus. I trust you, but sometimes I have to keep something to myself. Sometimes it's better off to be quiet." Remus stated.

He let go of Janus' hands and stood up. He grabbed the Snake's wrists to pull him up into an embrace. He kissed Janus' lips softly, before dragging him outside the door.

"Go to breakfast. I'll be there in a minute. I just need to wash my face." Remus told him, his voice empty.

Janus looked at him with concern, but Remus closed the door in his face and locked it. Janus glared at the door, but obliged and began to walk, before stopping. He turned back with a small smile.

"Take care, love." He called.

"You, too." Remus mumbled as his footsteps began to fade away.

Janus frowned at the lack of emotion, but stepped away.

By this point, everyone was already leaving the great hall and so there wasn't enough time for both Janus and Remus to eat.

*tImE sKiP bEcAuSe I'm FrEaKiNg LaZy*

The clock in Remus' room hit midnight. Again, he'd stayed awake for ages. As he stared at the wall, he heard cold footsteps clash against the stone floor of the corridors. Remus got out of his bed, glad for a distraction. He poked his head from the side of the door. He saw soft blonde hair and a more exquisite set of robes. Malfoy? But, why was he out of bed? Remus was glad for the fact he was still wearing his uniform. Yes, he was undignified, but that didn't mean he wanted people to see him in his Pyjamas - especially when half of them were non-existent. I MEAN WHAT?

Being friends with Virgil basically meant you had to make your footsteps silent if you wanted to scare him. Remus was glad for that, as it gave him an advantage when attempting to follow Draco Malfoy - who seemed to have super senses when it came to hearing footsteps or signs of humans behind him. Draco stopped in front of the entrance to the astronomy tower to check the time. Remus rolled his eyes. Who was he meeting at this time? Draco then went up the stairs, ensuring not to make any noise. Remus kept at least ten steps behind. At the final step, he stopped and hid.

"Hey, Dragon." A voice greeted.

"What did I tell you shout calling me that?"

Remus could hear the eye roll. But his gaydar also went off the goddamn roof. I mean, it was Draco. Draco 'Obsessed With Pottah' Malfoy.

"Not to. But screw it. I'm the chosen one."

The flamboyance in his tone reminded Remus so strongly of Roman that he almost missed the Chosen One comment. Key word: almost. His eyes widened, but he repressed his gasp. Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter; meeting at midnight. Sounded suspicious.

"I heard something." Draco's head snapped backwards. "Who is this?"

Remus heard his voice turn dangerous, and heard two wands being pulled out.

"Where you followed?" Malfoy asked Potter.

"I don't think so, you?" Potter shrugged.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have led them to our meeting."

The mental facepalm was as obvious as Thomas Sanders' gay energy. Meaning, evident as frick. Wait, we haven't met Thomas yet. Well, we haven't but Remus has. I'm getting off topic now-

Remus chuckled under his breath, not caring at this point if he was caught.

"That sounded like... - Remus Prince?" Draco questioned. "Why are you awake, you wanker?"

"Bold of you to assume I wank, I would have Janus with me if I did." Remus winked as he stepped forward.

"Oh god, I don't need that imagine in my head." Harry mumbled under his breath, looking sick.

He lowered his wand, while Draco kept his up.

"You get used to it after six years of sharing a dormitory." Draco rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"

"I just heard your footsteps and followed you. Did I breach your gay privacy?" Remus teased.

"I'm not gay for Potter. I have higher standards than him." Draco lowered his wand.

"He knows you're gay?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. Literally no sixth year Slytherin is straight, despite popular opinion of us being homophobic." Remus smirked. "You Gryffindorks are missing out. Oh, did you know that dork means whale-"

"Shut your mouth." Draco glared. "Neither of us need to hear it."

Remus pouted.

"Are you two friends?" Harry questioned.

"Oh, hell no! I'm not friends with this prick." Draco stuck out his tongue in disgust.

Harry hummed, "Mmk."

"Also, why weren't you asleep?" Draco asked, nonchalant.

Remus shrugged, looking guilty. Draco noticed.

"I'm only saying this because Janus is a somewhat friend of mine, but we need to talk later. There's a few things to discuss." Draco hissed.

Remus stepped backwards. "Why? Because you're gay for Janus and you want me to sleep sooner so you can chat without me noticing?" Remus smirked.

"Isn't he your boyfriend? Why-" Harry sighed.

"I'm kidding. We all know who Dray actually likes." The Duke grinned.

"I do not, you bastard!" Draco huffed.

"I wish." Remus mumbled.

"Don't we both?" Draco joked.

Remus began to laugh, before his eyes widened in realisation and looked at Draco with sympathy.

"You said the same thing, don't look at me like that." The Snake rolled his eyes.

"I'm confused." Harry mumbled.

"I'll explain it another time." Draco shrugged.

"I should probably leave, wouldn't want to interrupt your fun, now would we?" Remus teased.

Draco winked at Harry, jokingly. Harry slapped his arm. Remus walked away, remembering when he and Janus were like that.

The only difference was that those two would stay happy together, and not fall apart like how Remus reckoned he and Janus would. They really were soulmates. It was obvious.
