The Night Before and the Date
oO0Oo
"Why?" asked Peter suspiciously.

"Because," answered Sirius, looking at him, "We don't want him to get too exhausted." He got up and made his way to Remus' bed side table to open the first drawer.

James walked over and looked over his shoulder, "What are you doing?"

Sirius looked at him for a moment and turned back to the task at hand. "I had a memory," he said distractedly as he continued to search. It was mostly filled with junk, but Sirius could only assume they all served a purpose or Remus would have gotten rid of the clutter.

Peter hopped off the bed and scurried over next to James, "About what?"

While Sirius kept rummaging around in the drawer he told them the memory. "Remus was reading to me from 'Hamlet'. I got confused and wanted him to read a different one. He asked which one and I said 'The Three Musketeers'."

Peter grabbed the book from off the bed where it had landed earlier after Padfoot's 'display of affection'. "The book's right here, Pads," he said, holding it out to the other boy.

Sirius looked back for a moment and shrugged, "I'm not looking for the book. In the memory Remus opened the drawer and pulled something out; but that's where Remus woke me up. I wanted to see what he found."

James chuckled lightly, knowing exactly what Sirius was searching for. "You mean the chocolate egg? He ate that thing last week."

Sirius looked at James with wide eyes, "That's what it was?" With a huff, he started to walk back to his bed but stopped in the middle of the room. "Wait…It was a chocolate egg?" He turned to his friends, "What kind of gift is that?"

"It had something inside of it," retorted James with a roll of his eyes. Sirius cocked as eyebrow and he continued, "He showed it to us once; it was a little heart."

"Both of the things had the guy's name on it," added Peter, realizing they weren't mentioning it came from Sirius. "The guy said something like, 'You broke my shell and now you get my heart.' Or something along those sickly lovey-dovey romance novel lines that all the girls read."

Sirius blushed but he didn't know why. "I'm sure the guy who said it is very much in love with Remus." He walked over to his bed and sat on the edge. "Lucky little shit," he whispered to himself.

"What was that Pads?" asked James, although he thought he knew.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing. I'm going to bed. Night, guys." And with that, he closed his curtains and fell silent.

Peter and James stared at the curtains wondering if they would magically open and reveal their friend. When that didn't happen, James went to sit on his bed and Peter hesitantly made his way to the common room, fearing Claire. When the door was closed James heard him mutter the locking spell to 'protect' the others. He picked up a magazine he tossed at the foot of his bed the other night and waited for Moony to come out.
oO0Oo
Remus came out of the bathroom twenty minutes later wearing his pajamas. James looked up and smiled, "Where'd you put the heart 'Romeo' gave you?" Remus quickly looked at Sirius' closed curtains, half expecting him to pop out. "He's 'asleep', and besides, we told him about it."

Remus stared at him in shock, "You told him!?! Why the HELL would you do that? Wha-?"

"Moony!" shouted James as he rushed over to his terrified friend. He led Remus to his bed and closed the curtains while placing a silencing charm. "One: Calm down! Two: Yes we told him. He had a memory of it, kind of. And three: He doesn't know it was him."

Remus glared at him, "One: I will not calm down! He knows! Two: What do you mean he had a memory kind of? And three: Wait…what do you mean he doesn't know it was him?"

"He had a memory of you reading to him and then you guys came up here. You opened the drawer and that's where his memory ended. He went looking for the gift in your drawer and when he asked about it, we told him. We said it was a chocolate egg with a heart in it and the guy's name was on both. After that he got mad and went to bed."

Remus stared at him with disbelief, "He gave up just like that? Why?"

James shrugged his shoulders, glad to see that he wasn't acting freaked out anymore, "I don't know what goes on in his little head."

Remus placed his hands over his eyes and fell back on the bed. "So he's having more memories? How many is that?"

"Two that I can think of. The fight he and I had and you reading Hamlet." Remus sat back up and had a worried look on his face. "What's wrong now?"

"What if he gets his full memory back?"

James stared at him is utter shock. "I can't believe you would say that! Don't you want him to remember?"

Remus looked down at his lap in shame, "No..." He looked up when James didn't say anything. "What?"

"Why not?"

Remus blushed and looked back down, "We already talked about this James."

"Right. And now it's time we finish that talk."

Remus looked up at him with anger, "It's none of your business." He started to get to leave but James pulled him back down.

"What are you going to do when his memories come back? It's already started, in case you've failed to notice."

He gently shoved James, his anger slowly fading, "I've noticed. It's hard to not notice when he gets that blank look his face. But when the time comes when he does remember I'll tell him the exact thing I've told you. You and I both know that he can do better."

James placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "So can you."

Remus turned to him sharply, "What are you talking about? Who's better than Sirius?"

James had a big smirk on his face, "Why, me of course."

Remus raised an eyebrow, "You want me to date you?" James smile faltered a little, but stayed on his face. Remus shrugged his shoulders and leaned into James and puckered his lips. James moved as far back as he could get and ended up falling off the bed.

"Ow…" he said as he rubbed his sore head. Remus leaned over the edge with an evil smile.

"You were saying?"

James stuck his tongue out as he got up. "What's with you two and trying to sexually harass me?"

Remus arched an eyebrow at him curiously, "What are you talking about? Who's been flirting with my guy?"

James sat down on the bed and hugged him in a playful reassuring manner, "Just your ex, honey bunny."

Remus burst out laughing at being called 'honey bunny'. The laugh was contagious and soon both boys were laughing hard, clutching each other. After a few minutes they calmed down, James even wiped away a tear. "Thanks, I needed that," said Remus pulling back with a happy smile.

"I know what you mean. Everything's been so ser-" He looked at Remus. "I was so not going to say 'serious'."

"That's a good thing. If you had I might have to use one of Pad's lines." James flicked his ear which earned a overdramatic cry of pain. With a faux glare, he got up and turned away from James with his arms crossed over his chest like he was pouting, "Some people." At that started a whole new fit of laughter.

Remus finished laughing first, "I'm going to finish up some homework in the common room. Are you coming?"

James got up from the bed and nodded. "Yeah, I think I might tell Evans I just had my heartbroken. Think she'll feel sorry for me?"

"She just might, Prongs." Both boys headed downstairs, neither noticed a curtain open slightly.
oO0Oo
"I'm going to bed guys," said a sleepy James. Lily hadn't felt bad for him after hearing his exaggerated story and now he owed Peter a galleon. 'Evil rat. Betting against his friend.'

As he made his way to his bed, he heard something coming from Sirius' bed. He silently made his way over and leaned in closely. "Come ON! Remember. Remember, remember, remember!" James opened the curtains wider and peered down at his best friend.

"What're you doing?" he asked casually, as if finding his best friend talking to himself wasn't unusual.

Sirius' head shot up and he looked at the other in surprise. "Um…nothing."

"You kept saying 'remember,'" stated James, crawling onto the bed in front of his friend. "I think you're trying to remember something."

"Brilliant Watson!" Sirius said sarcastically, remembering the Sherlock book that Remus once read before. "How do you do it?"

"Simple Holm- Wait, why am I the sidekick?" he asked indignantly.

"Because I said so," Sirius replied with a smile. "Now, what were we talking about?"

"Why you kept saying 'remember' repeatedly."

Sirius sighed, "I was trying to remember something. I heard you and Remus talking earlier."

James stared at him in shock, wondering how much of their conversation he had heard and how much he could reveal to him without fearing the wrath of R. J. Lupin. "What did you hear?"

"You guys were saying how depressing it was around here. I was trying to get my memory back so we can all have fun again."

"Wow…" James said, slightly relieved but also irritated. "I never thought I'd see the day when Sirius Black would care about the people around him." The next thing he knew he was on his back on the wooden floor. "Why does this keep happening to me?"

Just then Remus and Peter entered the room.

"Do I want to know what's going on?" asked Remus, looking down at the tall boy as Peter headed to his own bed.

James quickly got up and rushed to the werewolf, hugging him tightly. "He pushed me off his bed!"

Remus rolled his eyes but hugged his friend back in sympathy, "Why does this all seem familiar?"

"Because this is sort of what happened in Potions class a couple of days ago," answered Sirius without hesitation and realized his friends were all staring at him. "What?"

"That's the day the potion blew up in your face," said Peter with a big smile. "You remember that?"

Sirius rubbed his temples, another headache was forming. "Yeah…I guess…" He closed his eyes and continued to rub his poor little temples. Without thinking, Remus made his way over to the boy in pain. He sat down near him and took over, rubbing the side of Sirius' head until he looked peaceful. "Thanks Moony," he sighed happily.

Peter cleared his throat to get the two canines attention. Both looked at him and blushed. Remus quickly got up and apologized. Sirius avoided everyone's eyes as he crawled into bed. Remus walked over to his own bed and climbed in as well.

James shot Peter a look. "What?" Peter asked but James just shook his head and walked to his own bed. Peter stood there for a moment, still confused but went to his own bed.
oO0Oo
Remus was the first to get up in the morning, like always. As he was getting dressed he heard someone start to wake up; he turned around and saw that it was James. "Morning," he whispered, trying to not wake the others.

James grabbed his glasses and greeted him. He got out of bed and made his way to the smaller boy. "I meant to ask this last night, but we got distracted."

Remus chuckled and looked at him, "What?"

"Why are you going on a date with Rick?"

Remus stared at him in shock but quickly composed himself, "Because he asked me."

James shoved him lightly, "You know what I mean. Why is he different from Sirius?"

"Oh," Remus said quietly, looking away. "I don't know. Maybe I just want to give him a chance. Sirius says he's been flirting with me for a while."

"Right. Like that's a good excuse. Are you sure you're not trying to get Padfoot jealous?"

"What are you talking about?" Remus looked at his friend in shock again then glared lightly. "I would never do that to Rick."

James smiled evilly, "Just keep telling yourself that, my friend." Remus just rolled his eyes and moved past his friend toward the staircase.

"I'm going to go eat. Are you going to wake the others?"

"Why should I do that?" questioned James, already heading back to his bed to go back to sleep.

Remus looked at the clock by his bed and back to the other boy with his own smirk, "Because if you don't, they'll miss lunch. And I'm pretty sure they'll hate you for that."

James looked to the clock and saw that it was past noon. "Why didn't you wake us?" he cried as he made his way to Peter's bed. "Wake up, Pete! Lunch time!"

Remus chuckled, "Because it's fun to see you do this every Saturday." And with that said, he left the room to get something to eat before he went to meet Rick.
oO0Oo
As Remus entered the Great Hall he heard what sounded like a herd of elephants running behind him.

"Moony! Wait up!" shouted Sirius, who ran right into him just as he turned around to face them. Both boys were sprawled on the ground right in front of the big double doors. Remus looked up and saw that all eyes were on them both. "Ow," complained the body that was crushing him.

"Sirius! Get off me! I can't breathe," Remus said actually using the last of his oxygen.

Sirius shot right up with an apology and held out his hand to the fallen boy. Remus gladly took it and was yanked to his feet. "Thanks, Sirius." He let his hand linger longer than necessary and when he did pull his hand away, he thought he saw Sirius frown.

"Hey, Remus."

He turned to the person calling him and smiled with a wave. "Hello Rick," greeted Remus. "How are you?"

Rick shrugged his shoulders and stopped a few feet from hi,, "I'm little tired, but I'll be alright."

"Are you sure?" Remus asked worriedly. "If you're tired we can go another time."

"Nah, I'll be fine." Rick leaned in closer, "Are you alright? You look a little sick. Maybe I should take you to the Hospital wing." He was about to grab for Remus' arm but Sirius got there first.

Remus was turned quickly so he was facing him, "He's right. We need to take you to see Pomfrey right now." He started to lead Remus to see the matron but he was stopped when Remus wouldn't budge.

"I'm fine, guys," he said calmly. He looked Sirius in the eye, "Really. I am." He pulled his arm free and turned back to Rick. "Want to get lunch at Hogsmeade?"

Rick looked at him skeptically but soon nodded. "Yeah, sure." Remus said goodbye to his friends and both boys headed to Hogsmeade, not noticing three extra companions.
oO0Oo
"Where should we eat?" asked Rick.

Remus yawned, still a little tired, "How about the Three Broomsticks?"

Rick nodded his head, "Sure."

They walked in silence for a few minutes when suddenly Remus spoke up. "Don't panic, but we're being followed." Rick attempted to turn around but Remus placed his hand on his arm to stop him. "Like I said, don't panic. It's only my friends." Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rick relax.

"You scared me there for a second. I thought you meant by some of the other guys."

Remus cocked an eyebrow and properly looked at Rick, "What do you mean?"

The Ravenclaw stopped suddenly and scratched the back of his head with a laugh. "Well…you see. You're a very popular guy. A lot of people want to go out with you, but they're all too shy to ask."

Remus was confused, "Why are they shy?"

Rick looked at him like he thought he was joking. "And I thought you were smart." Remus shoved him gently and Rick grabbed his hand. "You really don't know?"

"No," Remus blushed.

"Well, this might take a while," Rick said with a grin. Still holding Remus' hand, he started to list everything great about him as they headed to the pub.
oO0Oo
"Sirius! Calm down," whispered Peter. "He'll hear you if you keep that up."

When Sirius saw Remus shove Rick he got mad. "He's mad at him!" he had exclaimed and tried to save 'his Moony' but was grabbed by his so-called 'best friend'.

James still held on to him even though he said he was fine. He wiggled out of his grip and plopped right on the ground in a pout, "You guys suck."

"I thought that's what you did," he heard James mutter under his breath.

Sirius looked at him confused, "What was that?"

James blushed in embarrassment and looked away, "Nothing."

This made Sirius pout even more, but when Peter said that they were holding hands he shot right back up. "He's touching my Moony," he growled, glaring daggers into Rick's back.

"Your Moony?" asked James with a smirk.

Sirius glared at him and turned back to the 'couple'. "They're moving," he told the others.

"We can see that, Pads," retorted James as they followed the daters.

James and Sirius spent the rest of the day watching the two have fun - Peter had gotten hungry and headed back to the castle after Sirius wouldn't let him eat at the Three Broomsticks.

"Traitor!" Sirius called as Peter left them.

"I'm not so sure he is," defended James, watching the other boy leave with a longing - he really wanted something to eat. "I'm hungry too. I just might-"

"If you finish that sentence, I promise I will sick Moony on you tonight."

"Fine," mumbled the hungry boy even though he knew that would never happen and watched Remus and his date eat.

When they were done, Rick and Remus headed to the bookstore. They roamed around there for a good hour while their pursuers crouched under the window in the bushes.

"Can I at least stand up?" whined James -although he would deny it if ever asked. "My legs are cramping."

"Fine," Sirius said angrily. "But don't go too far." James got up in a hurry and walked away. 'Traitors, the lot of them.'
oO0Oo
Remus saw James pop up from under the window and walk away. He laughed quietly but still got Rick's attention.

"What's so funny?" he asked, looking around them for something funny.

Remus pointed to the window, "James and Sirius are still following us." He saw Rick roll his eyes and smile. "I'm glad you're taking this so well."

Rick's smile grew as he looked at Remus, "Yeah. Well I'm just that type of guy." Then the smile shrank, "Are you having fun? 'Cause you don't look like it." Remus turned away and tried to look preoccupied with a book in front of him. "That won't work," stated Rick. He took the book from Remus and placed it back on the shelf. "What's wrong?"

Remus avoided his eyes as he said, "What if I told you I wasn't technically single?"
Sirius has secretly been going out with Remus for a month and everyone's noticed. What will happen when Sirius loses his memory?
