A/N: Written for The If You Dare Challenge DARK level, prompt 30: a full moon.

I'll write a sequel for this. Remus after his first transformation I think. Or somewhere thereabouts. Who knows; it's good stuff to expand upon too. ^^


Little Moon

It was a pretty thing
and round. He couldn't forget round.

Not quite round actually
but it would be.
In a couple of days probably.
One, maybe two.

He didn't see why his parents seemed so scared.

It would light up the sky;
it always did, far better than the stars,
those tiny little things
that were more pricks on a map
for bearing than a lamp in the black

So how could one fear the herald of the sun
in the otherwise dark night?
