5 days later Sirius was released from the hospital wing with the instructions to not perform anything that might involve over excitement. In other words, none of the marauders normal pranks. He and his fellow marauders thoroughly ignored this instruction. Insisting it was guidelines and he didn't have to follow them. However (although the marauders assumed that his cut was hurting, although it was gone, they assumed it just ached) sirius wasn't quite as enthusiastic as james was. Normally it was a competition on the most enthusiastic and idiotic person! The problem just increased as it moved closer to half term and it was not due to his injury.

Sirius was dreading going home, it was nearly the holidays and, although only a week, his family requested him home and sirius was dreading it.

Sirius had told the marauders he didn't like his family and that they were horrible but he had never said the full extent of the noble house of blacks punishments. He didn't want them it think he was a coward. Although Sirius strongly believed he was.

Remus however, was thinking about only one thing. His next transformation. Although three weeks away. He was afraid. For the first time in years. He was going it alone. Refusing to inflict his friends upon his monster locked up inside him. He wasn't going to let them come. Last transformation. Sirius was a inch from death in the hospital wing and remus's werewolf had nearly killed him if not for james' and peters quick reactions. He just couldn't let that happen. He couldn't. He knew his friends, when he told them, would try to persuade him otherwise but he was decided.

Sirius and remus weren't the only marauders with other matters on their mind more important with sleep. James was sulking in a corner. The girl he couldn't go more than 1 minute without talking about who had accepted his invitation to be his girlfriend 3 months ago had dumped him. She had dumped him 2 days ago. The day sirius returned from the hospital wing.

Lilly Evans.

James wondered why he still loved her, but he couldn't keel her of his mind, he couldn't forget about her. Maybe he should give her that love potion!

Peter was sleeping soundly in his bed, unaware of his troubled marauders who kept their secrets quiet as it ate away at them. Devouring them.

When morning came the marauders entered the great hall with bags under there hollow eyes (all except peter). No one had been pranked so far and the suspicion rose in the great hall.

"Uhhhhh soooo" began peter as the marauders gave him sullen looks. "What should we do?"

"I don't know peter maybe you should think of something for once" Sirius snapped. Peter sighed, Sirius got angry and snappy when something was torubling him.
"Sirius..." Started james
"I know what your going to ask james and just forget it, its nothing"

"Exploding snaps?" Suggested remus, but he smiled half heartlidly and stared at the table constantly. James just shrugged. When it was obvious to remus his friends were not going to cooperate he turned away and stared at the ceiling considering starting his charms homework. Occasionly glancing down to see james staring at lilly, sirius with his head in his hands looking at the table and peter twidling his thumbs looking around at his friends.

The day passed with little interuption in lessons and the marauders only made slight gestures. Remus quietly talked to his partners but not his enthusiastic self and his notes were lacking his usual accuracy.

Sirius slumped in his chair and stared glumly at his paper. Refusing to look or talk to anyone. He even ignored the teacher and just folded his arms stubbornly. Refusing to answer any questions or do any work. Mcgonnagal kept him behind but he made no effort to talk to her and she just sent him back to his dorm.

James muttered quietly to himself and only helped when his partner asked him to. Staring constantly at the front like a zombie, as peter said. Or of course staring at lilly.

When they got back to the dorm james finally broke and followed a loud and disturbing outburst about his crippling love life.

" you see lilly has dumped me and who does that?? Im James potter???? The James potter? What have i done to deserve this punishment? What??? WHAT?!?!? I've not changed since she went out of me. Have i done something incredibly bad it deserve this punishment? Oh please? I literally could by a god if i want to. What is she playing at?? "

"Uhhhhhh" a confused peter started. Remus gingerly patted him on the back to avoid arkward questions about whether he cared or not. The truth was he didn't care, but that was a secret.

"Calm down mate" Sirius grumbled gloomily glaring heatidly at james. Annoyed by his sudden outburst. James scowled and trudged up to the beds as a deathly silence over took the room. Sirius glaring around, peter looking hurt but trying to hid it and remus looking defeated and a bit annoyed.

"Sirius, whats wrong, you've been so different recently. Whats up? The holidays are coming, that's good isn't it, seriously what are you upset about??" Running over the words remus realised what he just said and groaned, angry sirius was never happy when you said seriously, puns involving his name made angry sirius 100x more angry. Peter looked at remus and groaned.

" you think nows a good time to make that old joke lupin??" Raged sirius before storming up to his bed. Remus looked hopelessly at peter who shrugged his shoulders following Sirius to bed.

Remus stared at the cresant moon, wondering what was happening to the marauders. They were falling apart. James was upset about lilly, he was worried about his transformation and something else was bothering sirius. Remus suddenly felt a surge of sorrow for peter, he had to deal with the other marauders dismay when they refused to share information or if they did, peters help wasn't any good for them.

Deciding he should also sleep remus made his way to the beds. Entering the too. He saw sirius and james were awake. James clutched a picture of him and lilly and sirius gripped a letter. They sat facing away form each other and they didn't notice remus slip in and place a bar of chocolate on each of their beds (including peters).

Feeling slightly happier remus also slipped into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

-

In the morning jams, peter and sirius thanked remus for the chocolate and asked if he was alright, noticing the worried look in his eyes. "Just worried about my transformation that's all" while james accepted remus' feeble excuse while sirius shook his head but left him alone.

Chocolate cheered the marauders up and sirius seemed to forget about his fears until 2 days before the holidays where his grumpy attitude was dramatically multiplied
