"Oh c'mon mate," James grinned flopping down on the seat across from his best mates. He caught Sirius grabbing Remus' hand and just grinned and closed his eyes. Lily had left the compartment only a few minutes ago, and it turns out James had been about to go off to find Sirius and Remus. "If Moony got hurt you should have just brought him right back here," he commented folding his arms across his chest. He opened his eyes again to see Remus leaning against the wall closest to the window half asleep now.
Thank God, [/b] he thought and stood to his feet and started to mess around with the luggage above their seats; finally he had grabbed a hold of a small blanket and tossed it over at Sirius. Since it was clear by the steady breathing from Moony that he was now completely asleep. "So have you told him yet?" He asked curiously sitting back down on the seat. "Cause if you don't I might tell him for you."[/size][/center]

"James!" Sirius hissed, dropping the blanket in a heap over Remus in his surprise. He quickly picked it up again, this time have the sense to release Remus' hand and use both his own to lay the blanket neatly over his friend.
He turned very calmly toward James after accomplishing this. "Told him what, James?" he asked, trying to sound calm. It came out rather warily however and he'd sat back down next to Remus. Okay, maybe he was a little closer than he would have been was his friend awake.

James looked at Sirius a grin still plastered across his face, "in denial? Or maybe the fear that Moony will reject you." He said looking over at his best mates. Noting that Sirius had been sitting even closer to Remus, though he wasn't sure if the male did it on purpose or he had done it subconsciously. But what he had just said made him laugh; Remus, reject some one most of all Remus.
He had known fro quite a long time about how his friends felt about each other. Maybe other people would have thought of it as an older brother type of love since Remus and Sirius both could relate in a bad family life. Though there had been something the first day they had all met on the train. There was something that clicked between his two best mates back then, and it didn't seem to die over time. Just like with him and Evans, or he'd like to think that something had clicked between them.
The point was really that it had only been 2 years ago that both of his best mates discovered how they truly felt about each other. All he could do was just sit around and wit for them to finally have their confessions; who knows maybe this might be the year! Hm, maybe it might be for him and Lily as well. Oh how he fancied her. He was snapped back from his train of thoughts when he realized he hadn't been paying attention, and who knows Sirius might have said something back! Well by luck his best mate hadn't spoken yet, and he leaned forward waiting on a respond.

Sirius groaned. "Is it that obvious, James?" he asked quietly, he could feel himself panic slightly. Did Remus know too? Was he waiting for Sirius to say something before rejecting him? And James words made more sense.
"He'll hate me, Prongs." Sirius whispered, elbows on his knees now with his head resting in his palms. He couldn't describe how badly that would hurt him. It was bad enough Remus wouldn't like him back, but if rejection was actually voiced, he may very well break down. No, it was better to stay silent.

"I want you to repeat that," James grinned at Sirius leaning back on his seat. Maybe if he could get Sirius to realize that Remus hating anyone was a stupid idea, least of all one of them. Now, he could understand why Remus was afraid to speak up about his feelings; between the werewolf being shy and always on guard. He wondered if Sirius repeating that would even help, maybe he had to spell it out for his best mate.

"He'll hate me?" Sirius asked, giving James a weird look. What was his best mate getting a--.
"Maybe not hate." he said softly, not looking at James. "I-I just don't think we'd ever be as close again..." he added, sighing in an almost depressed sort of way before asking, "What do you know that I don't?" After knowing James for this long, it wasn't hard to tell he was withholding information.

"Well..." James began, but wasn't too sure he should continue or not. "Hm, maybe Moony feels the same way Sirius." he finally told him leaning farther back against his cotton seat and opened his mouth to say something else, but there was a sudden screech. Turtle had flown out from below Sirius' seat and once again started to attack the male. "Ahhhhh!" He cried out in pain shielding his eyes from the baby owl. Why him? Why did this bloody owl always have to attack him?
"SIRIUS GET IT OFF ME!" He shouted, but closed his mouth as Remus groaned and shifted around under the blanket. The baby owl had started to tug at James' hair and he nearly cried out in pain again; his glasses lying on the ground now since they had been knocked off during this sudden outburst by Remus' pet. Had it possibly known that James was about to blow Remus' secret to Sirius? Though it was hard to believe he remembered what it had done to the Michelle's dog’s eyes.

Lily had only left James' compartment a few moments ago with frustration towards the boy. Every single time she thought that James was actually shaping up and maturing, he ruined it. Every. Single. Time. She had gone around and hesitated before looking into a compartment where it seemed a first year was and another girl who's name had escaped her.
She opened the compartment door and hesitated before asking, "May I sit here? Everywhere else is packed." Or full of big-headed idiots, she thought to herself.

Sirius immediately stood up and attempted to pull the owl off his best friend. Probably a stupid way to go, but whatever. He was distracted though. Did Remus feel the same way? Was James trying to say that liked him as more than a friend?
Though the compartment was quite full by now, Xeno nodded and gestered toward the seat beside the girl with the cat.
Luna was still trying to get close enough to the other cat to really get a good idea if the other animal was safe or not.

The compartment door to Black's, Potter's and Lupin's compartment slid open without much noise, and a the slim frame of a pretty Slytherin appeared there. Letting her body fall shoulder-first to lean against the door frame, Colleen Savage raised a challenging and interested brow at them. "Oh, really? How cute... how pretty... and so...ah, dramatic..."She purred the last word nearly sensually, sliding inside the compartment, very aware of the sleek surface of wood against her arm, beneath her shirt sleeves.
A sinister smirk made red lips slid apart slightly, partially reveling pale teeth. Dark emerald eyes glinted dangerously and now, she seemed very amused, looking from Black to Remus, her smirk getting more sinisterity. "Oh, oh, oh..." she purred, tilting her head from side to side, pressing her lips together as if she was about to kiss someone. "Of course... when you can get any girl, why have a girl at all?"
This wasn't a huge loss for Colleen; she never felt anything more than slight attraction to Black's good looks. This was just fun.
[ ---* ]
X last post with Rasty since everyone didn't see it. (:
Rabastan looked down at Bellatrix through sleeks of black, shrugging carelessly. He was glad she was back now, but he hadn't made an effort to join them in the compartment. However, he couldn't resist to taunt a bit. "She broke a nail or somethin'?" he asked, a playful grin then spreading on his features to tell Bellatrix he was only joking. He let his shoulder fall back against the wall, a cheeky smile lingering on good-looking features.

Remus only stirred a bit as the draft that had come in through the open compartment door. He whimpered slightly even knowing in his sleep that Colleen's presence wasn't a very good thing. He had sifted himself where he was leaning on to Sirius now his head resting against Padfoot's shoulder. This could have easily been recognize as him just falling over, but one of Remus' hands had absently grabbed a hold of Sirius' shirt unseen since the blanket still covered him.
"Oi!" James shouted standing to his feet. Did that girl hear everything they were saying! How dare her listen in on a private conversation; especially one that could change his best mates life forever. Folding his arms across his chest as he glared at the girl. This wasn't going to turn out good for his best mate and glancing over at Sirius just in time to see Remus leaning against his best mate.

Sirius' head snapped up. He'd realized Remus had shiftend and was careful to not disturb him as he stared at the Slytherin in a shocked sort of way.
This couldn't be happening. Not after so long of keeping it a secret. It would be everywhere. Everyone would know he loved Remus. And Remus would hate him for it. And then he'd have no reason to keep on going strong like he had for all these years.
He couldn't get any words to leave his mouth. James would have to save him this time as he couldn't even think of a way to save himself.

Colleen raised her chin slightly, eyes going to Potter. Just that little exclamation wasn't going to stop her. She let the compartment door slide shut behind her nearly without sound. If Lupin could eavesdrop on her discussions, she sure thought he and his friends needed a lesson.
"Lupin eavesdropped on me," she said simply to justify what she had done; not like it was needed. Colleen crossed her arms across a rather flat chest, tilting her head permanently to one side, a smirk slightly parting red lips again. "This was very interesting," commented the Slytherin. "I just can't wait to spread it."

OOc: Okay so I'm a little confused about what's going on, with the whole board being deleted and such, but eh. Okayz. xD For all those who read my last post, this might seem a bit repetitive xD
IC: Lucius' glances over at Narcissa, a small smile played across his lips. "Robes can be replaced" he repeated. He had no desire to go further into the matter and therefore he consider that the end of that conversation. His eyes flickered back over to the window as he watches the world go by. Golden sunlight dances through the window, and great bloody fingers stretch across the canvas in the sky. These were the epitaph of the dying sun as it began to sink beneath the horizon. He could tell they were apparently traveling near a forest, the trees standing like soldiers, protecting secrets that lay hidden deep within there recesses. The leaves were a mixture of bright and dark green, yet he knows it won't be long until the whole forest goes ablaze with the firey colors of autumn. This pleases him somehow, and though he did not know why, he had always had a special love for autumn. Perhaps it was because the air tasted so crisp and fresh. Perhaps it was because autumn represented the death of summer, and yet, just before the land changed into the desolate wasteland under winters cloak, it was then that the very trees seemed to spring into life. Lucius begins to loose himself in these thoughts, so much that he barely hears Bellatrixs' words to her sister. He is about to demand that she bring him something as well, but she is gone into the corridor. Apparently (OOC: Even though I thought Rasty was in the compartment? apparently not xD) leaving himself alone with Narcissa, and although many men would give anything to be alone with her for just 5 minutes, he didn't seem to care much his eyes simply returning to the window. Silence reigns dominate, yet at least it wasn't uncomfortable silence. [/center]

"Hm, spread I don't think you'll be able to do that will you," James grinned pulling out his wand suddenly and pointed it at Savage. He wasn't too great at Nonverbal spells, and it was something he was planning on mastering by the end of the year. He also regretted not using the silence spell on the compartment before confronting Sirius about how he felt about Remus, and bloody hell he was going let those two suffer for his stupid mistake. Well this girl wasn't going to get away with threatening his best mates like that; grinning he attempted to send the spell nonverbally but it proved useless. Cursing to himself he dropped his wand for a second, and lifted it once again.
Shouting the incarnation for the Tongue-Tying Curse [/b], a cloud of what seemed like ash or maybe even dirt had exploded from James' wand. The cloud had circled around Colleen, and moments later it had managed to enter the girl’s mouth and it formed a sort of bow around her tongue and hands. Finally it vanished, and James still had his victorious cheek to cheek grin. Remus had cuddled up even closer to Sirius now a cute sounding snore escaping him, which it was clear that he wouldn't be waking up any time soon. The train ride still had few hours left; though, James didn't care that his friend was sleeping during it since he needed the rest more then anyone else on the train most likely. [/size][/center]
