“I can accept him he doesn't deserve what you are doing to him, he is a innocent PERSON he has never hurt anything in his life. Sirius you have had a hard life, well imagine how hard his life has been. Have you ever though t about that? Remember he told us that we were his first friends ever, that he can trust us with anything and now you are betraying him Sirius, you make me sick, forget everything Remus had said about you being different from your family. You are exactly like them, once a Black always a Black.”
“Pettigrew that's enough.” McGonagall said getting up to stand in between Sirius and Peter to keep them from fighting.
“ATTENTION STUDENT'S AND STAFF WE WILL ARRIVE AT HOGSMADE STATION IN TEN MINUTES, I REPEAT WE WILL BE ARRIVING AT HOGSMADE STATION IN TEN MINUTES.” came a raspy voice over the trains loudspeaker.
“Boy's you have to get ready to leave I'll take Remus, James, Sirius, Peter take his things.”
“Yes Professor.” Came three voices in unison

Remus opened his eyes, shutting them once again because of a blinding white light above him.
“Mr. Lupin, nice to see that you have finally awaken.” came a voice from his left.
“Madam Pomfrey? What are you doing on the Hogwarts express?” asked Remus confused
“What are you talking about? Your in the hospital wing boy, you have been for a good part of the day, you were apparently attacked and your little friends found you. Maybe I should have checked your head for damage.” said Pomfrey.
“Poppy? Is the boy awake?” asked McGonagall as she walked into the hospital wing.
“Yes Minerva, he is he was just going to tell me about the attack when you walked in.”
“I was?” said Remus as he sat up in the bed, laying his head back against the headboard.
“Yes boy, we need to find out who attacked you, do you have any idea of who it was did you see them?”
Remus was quiet for awhile, thinking about who it was that had attacked him, yes he knew that it was Sirius... but was it really? How could he be sure it wasn't a person in disguise? Can he really be sure that it was Sirius? He decided to tell them what he knew, but somehow save Sirius from getting in trouble, even though Sirius was disgusted with him Remus knew that he would never do that. At least that was what Remus was telling himself.
“Yes I have an idea, I mean I know who it is... but I don't, it's hard to explain but the person I think who attacked me, isn't the person who attacked me.”
“I knew I should have checked his head..”
“Poppy...” said McGonagall in a stern voice, “What do you mean Remus?”
“I mean I know whose body it was that attacked me, just not the person in the body... it was Sirius but it wasn't y'know?”
“So Sirius attacked you? Thats absurd! He wouldn't do a thing like that.” McGonagall said with an unbelieved voice. “I mean the boy has problems but...”
“I think it was someone posing as Sirius, I mean yeah ever since he found out about me being a werewolf he has been avoiding me and stuff and he doesn't want anything to do with me, but I don't think he hates me enough to want to hurt me.”
“Remus, the person who hurt you wasn't just trying to hurt you they were trying to kill you, if you think it was Sirius you have to tell us now. Don't protect him just because he's your friend....” She paused for a moment, as if she was thinking something and then she looked at me suspiciously “Explain to me how Potter, Black and Pettigrew came about this information in the first place.”
Remus took a deep breath as he went through the events from the last few days, “They walked into the room when I was reading a letter from the ministry about the newest werewolf laws, and they started reading over my shoulder and they just figured it out.... and Sirius...” Remus fell silent and pulled his knees up against his chest. “As for Peter I have no idea how he had found out probably James, he wouldn't keep something as important as that from a friend. James seems more curious about me being a werewolf then disgusted... I knew coming to this school was a horrible idea.”
McGonagall took a deep breath, “Remus... no an education is important what happened to you is unfortunate, but it is no reason to think that you coming to this school was a mistake. You are a wonderful asset to this school and we are truly blessed to have you.”
Remus had tears pouring down his face once again, McGonagall sighed feeling completely helpless as to what to say to the boy started walking towards the hospital wing door.
“Lupin when you are ready please come to the headmaster's office, we have a lot to discuss on this unusual situation make sure Potter, Black and Pettigrew are with you.”
“Yes, professor.” Remus laid back into his pillows and turned to Madam Pomfrey. “M'am?”
“Yes, Remus what is it?”
“May I go now I'm kinda hungry and I feel fine.”
Pomfrey sighed, “Yes your free to go, but make sure to come back if your not feeling .”
“Alright,” Remus jumped off the bed and was out the door in less than a minute, he had to figure out what was going on and the first place he was going to check was the library.


(3rd year Gryffindor dorm)
James putting up his last Quidditch poster and went to lay on his bed, he looked curiously at his pillow for a moment, something was off about it but he just couldn't put his finger on it. Peter came up behind him.
“James what exactly is it that you are doing?”
“Peter,” James pulled on Peter's shirt till he was in front of him, and then pointed towards the pillow, “ What do you see that is wrong with that pillow?”
Peter rolled his eyes and pulled out a note that was sticking out from under the pillow.
James looked from side to side and then said, “I knew that,” before grabbing the letter from Peter's hand. “Hey it's from Remus! It says we have to meet in Dumbledore's office right after dinner. That's all it says though.”

Peter looked at James for a moment, “ We as in..”

“Me, you and Sirius.”

“You mean, 'You, Sirius and I',” corrected Remus as he walked through the dorm door, placing what seemed like fifty books on his bed.

“Thank you Professor Lupin,” said James rolling his eyes, he took a small ball out of his pocket and threw it over his head catching it as it came back down. “Anyway, why are we going to Dumbledore's office tonight?”

Peter sat on the edge of Remus' bed and started leafing through the books, giving Remus weird looks every now and then.

“Oh, it's about me being a werewolf.”

James nodded understandingly, “I'll be there and I'll lie to Sirius if I have to, he'll be there as well.”

Peter looked up from the book he was reading, “I'll be there. Hey Remus are you sure you should be out of the Hospital wing? You were hit pretty badly, do you have any idea who it was?”

“I'll tell you the same thing I told Madame Pomfrey and McGonagall. I think it was someone posing as Sirius, I mean yeah ever since he found out about me being a werewolf he has been avoiding me and stuff and he doesn't want anything to do with me, but I don't think he hates me enough to want to hurt me. That's all I know.”

“Sirius? Remus that's impossible he would never do that.... or would he?”

Remus looked at James, confusion clouding his features, “So you think there is a possibility that he was the one that attacked me?” “All I am saying is that it's possible, I mean he is my best friend and all but when you were attacked Sirius wasn't with us he met us half way to your carriage.”

Remus stood shell shocked in his spot unable to process this new information. “So it really is possible, it really could have been Sirius.” Remus felt the world spin around him and he blacked out the last thing he remembered was seeing Sirius walk through the dormitory door.

Next time on Weird   The talk with Dumbledore, what happens when Remus comes to terms that it might have actually been Sirius that had attacked him? all the evidence is pointing towards Sirius and the more Remus looks into it the more possible it seems. Can Remus prove that Sirius is innocent before he gets expelled and a better question would be does he even want to defend his supposed attempted murderer?

“Did you or did you not try to kill me Sirius? Tell me the truth even if you hate me I don't care! I refuse to have you expelled for something you didn't do!” Tears poured down Remus' cheeks as he stared his ex-best friend in the eyes “If not for me then for yourself. Please”

“What if it was me? What if i did try to kill you, what would you do then?”
