*And right there, with that little we're, the subject sours.
What bothers him isn't what Peter privately thinks as The Gay Thing--although that gives him pause, to tell the truth, and more so about Sirius than about Remus, who is an odd duck in many ways and who knows, maybe even predisposed to that sort of thing because of his lycanthropy. You did hear stories. But Sirius? Who had landed more girls in a week than Peter had in his adult life? It was just bizarre.
But it isn't that, not really. It's more that there's this big thing now between Sirius and Remus, some big important secret thing, and James is off starting a family, and Peter knows but he and Lily don't and there's a baby and bills and secrets and all it means is that they've splintered. The Marauders have cracked like a dish into two pairs and Peter. Things aren't like they were, they'll never be again, and he's not two feet from one of his best friends but he feels more alone than ever. He can barely speak.*
