Oh my word. I never realised how dramatic Sirius was until this. I was in my dorm with James and him. I wanted to talk to them about the next moon. Basically, I said, “I still can’t believe you all became Animagi for me.” James flipped through some of my records and said, “Well, you better believe it, Moony. We’re here for y- Sirius?” I looked over to Sirius. He was sitting on the floor, his back against my bed. He was holding a half eaten chocolate frog in his hand. “Wat?” he asked, his mouth full. “Er, should you be eating that?” James asked, pointing to the sweet. Sirius cocked his head to the side. “What do you mean?” I looked up at James. “Isn’t your animagus a dog? And, doesn’t chocolate, like, kill dogs?” Sirius was silent for a minute before tossing the sweet across the room. James looked from me, to Sirius, to the discarded chocolate frog. “I’m sure it’ll be fine….” he said, a vague panic hidden in his voice.”AM I GOING TO DIE?” Sirius shouted, grabbing onto his hair. James slapped his forehead. “Here we go.” Sirius looked up at me, his eyes wide. “REMUS, AM I GOING TO DIE?” I looked at him with pitiful enjoyment. “I honestly doubt that you’re going to die, Sirius, though-” Before I could finish speaking, Sirius jumped up, arms outstretched like a zombie. “The room!” he exclaimed. James laid down on his bed. “I shouldn’t have even said anything, honestly.” Sirius continued his performance. “It’s spinning!” I reached out, touching his shoulder.”Sirius, listen to me. You’re overreacting. I’m sure you’ll be fine.” He stopped dead in his tracks and pointed a finger at me. “Never tell a dying, gay, adolescent wizard that he’s overreacting. M’kay?” I stepped back, raising my hands in mock surrender. “Thank you,” he acknowledged, before continuing. He wandered around the room, declaring, “THE DARKNESS IS UPON ME. THE LIGHT IS FADING. REMUS, WHERE ARE YOU? I CAN’T SEE YOU. JAMES, I CAN'T SEE YOU EITHER.” James looked at me and sighed. “Your eyes are closed,” he says. Sirius dropped to the floor, groaning extravagantly. James just shook his head and left. Enough theatrics for him, I suppose. I watched as Sirius cracked open one eye from his spot on the floor. I didn’t move as he watched me, until he shouted, “I’M DYING! AND I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!” Then, he just DIED. Well, he didn’t die, per say, but he flopped around like a fish out of water for a moment before stopping. He even held his breath. Almost convincing. If I was blind. I crouched down next to him. “You do this every time James or I point out that you’re eating chocolate, and every time, you only ever get a little stomach ache the next day. And for the record, I do love you. More than anything.” I stood up, straightened my jumper and went to leave the room. Sirius stayed perfectly still, until the door clicked open. It was then that I knew my words had finally registered. I slipped out the door as he sat straight up and shouted, “WHAT THE FUCK? REMUS! REMUS LUPIN, COME THE FUCK BACK HERE!!!” I leaned against the door, standing in the corridor outside our door. Merlin, I love that boy.279Please respect copyright.PENANABXGndNsQ8Q
