Chapter Text
“Fuck. Off.” He snarled, his eyes fierce with a newfound hatred. “If you ever try to speak to me again, I will fucking kill you.”
Sirius knew he wasn’t lying, he wasn’t dumb. He could see how Remus’ eyes had changed, how they’d gone cold. He had seen Remus mad before, of course he had, but he had never seen him angry. And it was scary, it felt like being back home.
“Remus come on, I didn't mean for it to end up like this!” Sirius yells in response, his voice shaking. “It was just a prank!”
The second those five words left his mouth, he knew it was too late. The horrifying anger in Remus had shifted, he was no longer angry, he was just empty. Empty of all anger, empty of all love.
“You are fucking dead to me, Sirius.” Remus spat at Sirius, poison staining his words.
A cutting silence filled the dorm room, the two boys staring at each other, yet not recognising the one in front of them.
Remus finally broke eye contact when he put his hands to his face, sighing loudly, exhausted.
“Please Sirius. Just leave me be.”
Sirius stood still for a few seconds, debating whether to leave or try and beg for forgiveness, but ultimately decided that the hate in Remus was scary.
He let out a final shaky breath before turning around, leaving the dorm room with determined footsteps. His mind was racing with thoughts, his heart beating quicker than it ever had before. He needed to get away, to get some quiet and forget what he had done, forget Remus.
