Chapter 73 – Fifth Year - Silver

Returning to Hogwarts, Remus discovers he's been made a prefect, causing embarrassment among the marauders. His summer with Grant has awakened feelings he doesn't yet understand, but seeing Sirius again hits him like a thunderbolt - he realizes he's attracted to his best friend. The silver prefect badge burns his skin due to his werewolf nature, but Sirius secretly transfigures it to tin, showing his care and consideration. This small act of kindness devastates Remus, who finally accepts the truth: "I fancy Sirius Black."
