Sirius went to explain to Sadie - but was interrupted by James making his entance.
Abandoning all efforts of explanation, Sirius hurried to his best friend, a smile resting upon his boyish face. "James!" The teen clapped his friend on the back before seizing a glass of water and draining it. "Yeah... I'm sure of that too," Sirius agreed, nodding heartily and avoiding his brother's eye, "But you won't have been the only one strangling Regulus if he does anything else this stupid. I'll be in Azkaban, accused of murder of my brother.... you understand?" This last bit was directed at the teen's sibling.

Remus whimpered, eyes snapped open as he heard Sirius' voice. He looked to James, to Regulus and to Sadie.

Sadie waved her hands above her head. "Hello? am I invisible Sirius? Can you tell me what happened? All I know is that Remus trangled Regulus so he stabbed him with something Silver. How did everyone end up together?"

Sighing, Sirius turned once more to Sadie. "It's... complicated. Hard to explain. Basically, Regulus ran away after the argument in the forest. Remus, brave idiot that he is, went after him. I went after both of them... I had to find them.
Then... then Remus went... wierd. He began to worry me. I thought he was going to kill Regulus. He snatched him away. I had to run after them... so I did. But he ran too fast... I fell, hurt myself. Got up again... then... it all goes hazy. I... I... Remus said that he ki... I fainted... but I remember shouts and hooves... must have been centaurs. And that was when Remus strangled... and Regulus. He took his charm and stabbed..."
Sirius clutched his head, the remeniscing causing the previous pain he had experienced to return, "And I fainted... and came back round... it was all quiet. Nothing. I went to the castle and managed to get to the hospital ward... and I collapsed. But I found Regulus and Remus. And Pomfrey couldn't fix him. Said he had to come here. But I said he wouldn't go without me. And I said I wouldn't go without you," Sirius turned to James, "Or you. So we came - and you were picked up. Does that make sense?"
Hugging himself to warm his chilled insides, Sirius sat on the floor against a wall, "I don't really know anything else."

Painfully, Remus pulled himself into a sitting position. "I was- half wolf. Not literally, but- in mind. I'd just- transformed, so... I got sad- about my friend. I- I kill-" Remus trailed off, shuddering.

Sirius sensed Remus's distress and immediately looked up. "Lie down!" he cried, his tone sharp, "And... don't talk about it. You'll upset yourself."

"It- doesn't upset me! I need to- talk about it. Before it- 'eats' me," Remus answered, amber eyes blazing as he sat up straighter, wincing.
"We were- always friends. Me and her. She was my- first friend, the first I'd ever- had. We spent nearly every- day with each other." Clearly it was causing Remus pain, but he had to tell them. Tell someone. It was eating him up inside.

"Fine...." Sirius muttered, forcing the anger that built up inside him back down, "Go ahead...."

"She was there- through everything. She was with me when I- was bitten. And then, after a month or so, she was- staying around my house. She knew what the moon was, but I- didn't.
"It was getting dark, and we were playing in- my room. And she shut the- door. She said she wanted- to live forever. To never- be scared again, and to- hunt. She told me it was- a full moon, and I got angry."
"I transformed, but she was in the- room. And I... I..." Remus trailed off, coughing loudly and closing his eyes in pain.

Down on the floor, Sirius scowled, "How stupid...." he muttered, his words inaudible to all but himself.

Remus could just hear something from Sirius that sounded like 'stupid'. He turned on him, obviously wincing. "How dare you!" he yelled. "You never, ever talk about her like that!"

James swore, much to the dissaproval of the nurse. 'Damn,' he said again looking from Sadie to Sirius to Remus 'I wish I could've helped,' he said 'Where was I whilst all of this was happening?' He felt really bad, why hadn't he been there to help?

Sirius' words still lingered in Regulus' mind. This was all his fault. He was just a stupid kid who did stupid things.
He wanted to be alone.
He quickly pushed himself up from the chair and walked out.
"Wait dear! you need to be checked out too!" the nurse called.
Regulus ignored her and walked on.

Sirius pushed himself up from his stoop, using his hands to support him, flattening his palms against the floor. "Oh, Remus, grow up!" he cried, shaking his head, "She's dead, Remus, you killed her, there's nothing you can about it no more, you hear? Stop taking you misery out on everyone else. I know it's hard for you, but we don't need to know.... I don't want to know. Because it scares me. Ok?"
Sirius winced as he admitted his fear - though he did not dwell on it for long. Instead he turned to James, shrugging (a little angrily) as he did so. "I dunno. How the hell am I supposed to know? Probably in some detention. Or in the library, trying to find your precious Evans. I mean... you've not paid any attention to us lot recently... it's no wonder you weren't there... I guess ginger-nut is mroe important to you than your friends are."
Sirius regretted his words the moment that he heard them - though it was too late to withdraw them from the conversation. Instead he chose to glare after his brother's retreating back, ignoring the bustling nurse and attempting to ignore to the desire to apologise that was welling up inside him.
