WHO: Tiberius and Amos
WHEN: Monday after class
WHERE: Classroom 5
WHAT: Amon and Tiberius have a well overdue talk
RATING: Pretty tame, save possible language

Tiberius was having a hard time communicating these days. His run in with Mossy the other night left him shaken, Ed was most likely still furious with him about his comments about Trish, and to cap off the bad weekend and start a bad week, his comments about the Muggle Studies section of the library rounded off the list of best friends to piss off with Ro and Mossy.

While he waited for Amos in room five, he took a deep exhausted breath and looked back at the weekend and how things had gone so wrong for him. Much of his trouble with communication had to do with his immense guilt at keeping things from his friends-things which had an immense weight to them. He had been meaning to have this conversation with Mossy for a while, but that did not make it any less nerve racking and hard. The longer his friend waited to show up, the increasingly hot Tiberius' brow became. Situations like these are partly the reason he loved flying. The air always held a new means of escape, even if you had to do it yourself. Just as he was about to jump ship and prolong the inevitable once again, the door rattled and Amos walked through the threshold.

Tiberius held his breath.

"Of course I bloody know it, it's on the third year curr - "

Amos stopped suddenly as the reality of what Tiberius was saying hit him. And that was when he actually did get annoyed. Though he spoke in low tones to avoid being overheard from outside, his voice was clearly quivering with the beginnings of rage.

"For the love of Merlin, Tiberius, tell me you haven't done what I think you've done."

This was not the reaction he had hoped for, nor had he expected.

He knew most of the things he expected were unrealistic ("Merlin, that's wicked", or "How'd you handle that?"), but he at least hoped his friend would be supportive. From the sounds of things, Tiberius was scared his friend was not only unsupportive, but also vehemently disapproving. He immediately regretted the whole thing. He should never have done it, least of all told anyone about it, and now he was on the verge of losing his best friend.

"Well, I don't want to lie anymore, so I'm not really sure what to tell you."

His hands shook, and the heat that was in his brow turned icy cold, yet sweat still seemed to burst forth from it. Terrible emotion and regret turned his insides and all he felt like doing was running, well, flying, away and throwing up til he was bereft of any emotion.

	Amos gave him that look again. "How about we start with the truth? Because you're still making me make the leaps here. Be straight with me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Now Tiberius was simply confused on top of everything else. Why didn't his friend believe him? He obviously was having trouble getting this out, to Tiberius there was no reason to make any of this up.

"What? Well, I......Merlin....."
He blurted out the following with eyes shut and with incredible speed.
"If you want me to just say it, fine, I'm and Animagus"

He stared at the floor waiting for his response.

Amos' eyes flew open and he bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from yelling within earshot of the corridor. He'd suspected that this was the case when Tiberius had mentioned the spell, but to hear him admitting it was just... Amos couldn't put his feelings into words.

"What the hell were you thinking?" the younger boy hissed. "It's illegal, Tiberius! If you got caught, you'd be in huge trouble, probably expelled!"

This simply was not going according to plan, or to Tiberius’ favor.

“You think I don’t know that? Why else do you think I’ve kept it a secret all these years!”

As he was speaking he became suddenly aware that Amos might be feeling a sense of betrayal. He dropped the defensive tone and continued on.

“I....I’ve been meaning to tell you. Really I have. I just wasn’t sure how you’d take it. Obviously not well. I’m sorry.”

After a brief silence, he continued on.

“But don’t think I regret it. If I could have done something differently, I would have told you before, but I still would have done it.

So that's how I was searching the forest, only I cocked it up by injuring myself by hitting a tree. I had to open my leg satchel and rough up my clothes to make it look not so odd, but I did too much and it looked even more suspicious. I'm sorry I lied to you before. But now that you know, you won't tell anyone, will you?"
