This year when Sirius entered their usual compartment, everyone noticed he was upset. Where his usual confidence and brave outfit were, was now anxiety and an oversized hoodie with its hood over his head and baggy jeans. Instead of "Hey sluts and my love, how was your summer? Are you still a virgin Prongs?" they only got a "Hello". Instead of Sirius flopping himself down onto Remus's lap with so much pressure he made the boy groan, he only sat down and leaned against the wall.

Remus already missed his Sirius. Oh where was his Sirius who never feared to be himself? Who had dared to steal him away from Remus?

Well the answer was quite obivous. That didn't make Remus any less angry though.

"Pads what's wrong?"

It was James. It was always James to ask these things first. Remus had figure it was because in James's family, things were talked through. Instead in Peter's family they waited until the person themselves brought it up. In Remus's orphanage things weren't talked through at all. It almost felt like a huge mafia, the orphanage. Everyone had their secrets but they still were like brother and sisters.

Sirius sniffled and avoided looking at all of them when he pulled his hood off of his head.

Sirius's hair was shorter than he usually had it. It only reached his ears. Now he and Regulus looked even more alike. It wasn't exactly ugly, but it didn't fit on Sirius at all.

The room was silent other than Sirius's sniffling. They were frozen in shock.

Really; Sirius could have grown wings at it would have been less of a shock than his hair being cut short.

Remus pulled Sirius close. Remus was alwyas the first one to do that. Boyfriend privilages, you'd understand. (expect if you are single lol)

Sirius sobbed against Remus's chest as the younger rubbed his back and kissed his head over and over.

When they had made it to Hogwarts, Remus had lead Sirius to their bathroom where he had made a sell on him to regrow his hair. After Sirius had hugged him tightly and thanked him.

"Was I... Was I ugly?" Sirius whispered.

"No. You were beautiful."

Yes I added that last bit purely to fit in the reference
