Chapter 3; Black Queens
"We have to show him soon!"
Sirius's shout went largely ignored, partially because those in the common room were used to his outbursts. Pouting slightly at the lack of reaction, Sirius bounded over one of the comfier couches, causing the girls clustered by it to titter flirtatiously. "James! Peter! We have to show him!" Neither boy looked up, remaining engrossed in their heated Wizard Chess battle.
"Queen to D6. Check." Peter's black queen moved into position, sent James's knight crackling to the floor, and then returned to her usual stately posture, straightening as she realized victory was within her sight.
"Hold your hippogriffs, Black" James muttered, eyes flickering over the board. "Pete's really on his game today. Don't know how he's doing it." Sirius tugged at him, exasperatedly.
"You don't even have the patience for chess, mate!"
"Actually, that's probably why I'm winning. He keeps using up his thinking time to make moon eyes at Evans." Peter teased, leaning over in his chair to squint at the board. "Are you moving anytime soon, James? I've got my strategy picked out already."
"Agh!" James flicked over his king, who squirmed on the ground in protest. "I forfeit. Chess isn't an important game, anyway. Play me at Quidditch and I'll show you a real competition." James winked, knowing there was no way Peter would beat him at anything even remotely involving a broom. "I get better grades than you anyway."
"That doesn't mean I can't be better than you at chess."
"Will you two shut up and listen to me?" Both boys turned to Sirius expectantly.
"What was it that we needed to show who?"
"Remus!" Sirius leant down, and with an exaggerated glance around to make sure they weren't being listened to, hissed his next statement. "We have to show him the…you know, the..." He inclined his head meaningfully, and James's eyes widened in realization.
"That? Mate, we're not quite ready yet."
"Well, we better get ready. Remus needs it, I think."
"But Sirius…" James grinned, setting himself up for a brilliant joke, if he did say so himself. "You don't think." Sirius dismissed this with a rather disappointing wave of the hand.
"Fine then. I know he needs it. Happy?"
Within fifteen minutes, Sirius had pried James away from Lily (Who hadn't wanted him there anyway), baited Peter with sweets, and gotten the three of them gathered in the center of the Room of Requirement. Say whatever else you want about Sirius Black, but no one can say he's not persistent. And devilishly handsome.
"I know you're anxious, mate, but we had a meeting about this scheduled for tomorrow." James ran his hand through his already wild hair, only succeeding in mussing it further. "Specially made schedule, remember? Created so we can meet while Remus is busy and won't suspect? Did you really have to drag me here just when Lily Evans acknowledged me?" He looked up and visibly softened. "We all want to do this for him, Sirius. Not just you."
"James, first, Remus isn't busy nearly enough. Second, Lily was telling you to shove off anyway, since you were practically slobbering on her shoes. Third, I know you two care. It's just…the rate we're going, we won't be done for a hundred full moons!" He threw up his hands and abruptly collapsed into one of the chairs littered around the room, head buried in his arms. "James, Peter…" He said quietly. "I think something may be wrong with Remus." Peter crinkled his fair brows.
"But…We know that, Sirius. We're doing this because of the werewolf thing, remember? Or is it something else?"
"Something else…I mean, I don't think he's sleeping well, did you see the bags under his eyes?"
"Sirius, you're talking like his mother again. And maybe he's just got a bird."
"Shut your gob, James. And Rem wouldn't shag someone without telling m- I mean, us, would he? And I think he vomited last night anyway. There was…sick on the bathroom floor."
"He's probably just got the flu. You know Rem, never wants us to worry. He'll go to Madam Pomfrey if it's bad."
Sirius looked unconvinced. "I guess."
"Besides," Peter gave them both a smile before continuing. "It won't take a hundred full moons! The animagus thing is really coming along."
"Yeah, but we need to memorize those last two spells, which is bound to take at least a bit, and the potions won't even be done brewing until after the next full, during which time the wolf could disembowel him and leave him to die." Sirius flopped back dramatically, trying not to show just how much that idea had pained him. "And that's the timeline if we did everything correctly, which we might not have. And you know how Moony will feel if one of us makes a stupid mistake and dies trying to help him."
"I think it's in the wolf's best interest to keep Moony alive too, mate. It's not like the creature itself feels ill will toward Remus. It is him. It just…can't help it, I think." Sirius's response to those words was violent and instantaneous. The boy sat up as if electrocuted and lunged toward his friend, catching the front of his shirt in his clenched fist and pulling him forward.
"Shut up, James! That wolf is not, and never will be, Remus! It's just inside him. He wasn't born like that."
"You didn't have to snap, mate. You know I didn't mean it like that." Sirius winced and retreated, nodding.
"I do. Sorry. Let's just...practice, okay?"
