At first, James is completely silent, and Sirius nearly bites through his lip before James replies. “I don’t think Moony....... well, he probably wouldn’t be freaked out, but-”
Sirius cuts James off before he can go any further, knowing that his expression is probably rather absurd. “It’s not Moony.”
James blinks, looking slightly startled by the slight harshness in Sirius’s voice. “Not Moony?”
“No. Not Moony.” Please, please don’t make me spell it out for you, Prongs. I didn’t think you were this dense.
He can tell almost instantly when James figures it out- the sudden change in posture, the way James’ back completely freezes. “Me?” he asks, looking up slowly, hazel eyes revealing nothing but the slightest hint of curiosity.
Sirius nods, then almost instantly drops his gaze to the floor. James doesn’t say anything for several minutes, and Sirius is about to say something, anything, just to break the awkward silence, when Remus comes in.
“....nothing happened?” is the first thing out of Remus’s mouth, and they both look over at him, confused.
James glances at Sirius, quickly realizes that the other boy isn’t in any shape to respond, and answers Remus with his own question. “What?”
“You two look like someone died,” Remus clarifies, looking worried now.
“No... nobody’s dead,” Sirius interjects before James can speak, disgusted by the slightly hysterical tone to his voice.
“...you told him, then,” Remus says casually, the worry dropping away instantly.
“You knew?” James asks, incredulous. “I....how long did you.... please don’t tell me Wormtail figured it out,” he trails off, rubbing his forehead and laughing slightly.
“Wormtail doesn’t know, and I figured it out last year. What about you, though?” Remus asks, sitting down on the edge of his bed and watching the two other boys expectantly.
Sirius can’t help looking over at James, whose face is completely blank.
“I..... I don’t know,” James finally admits, and Sirius feels like James has just slapped him. “I just need to think... it’s not... Padfoot,” he finally says desperately, staring up at Sirius, and Sirius bites his lip again and nods.
James is out the door in seconds, brushing past Peter on his way down the stairs.
