Remus sighed, sleep had come fitfully after he'd managed to get up the strength to apparate back to 12 Grimmauld Place. His face had a large scratch down his cheek and his body was covered in stretch marks from changing into a wolf and back. Every bone in his body ached and there were a few small cuts from running through the trees. Plus, Remus thought he'd broken a finger or two, every time he moved his left hand sharp pains shot up his arm. He was trying to turn on his side without inflicting any more pain when he heard on knock on the door.

Remus groaned, "Sirius go away and come back in a day."

"Remus, Sirius sent me in to..." Tonks said as she walked in, gasping, "Remus! Are you okay? Merlin...oh no, last night was the..."

Remus didn't look at her, he was too ashamed of who he was.

Tonks gasped again, running over to the bed and sitting on the edge, "Remus! Don't be embarrassed, I know you're truly human and that's all you want to be. I've known you long enough to know your not a monster."

Remus' voice broke, "T-tonks, you don't know how much this means to me," he laughed, "Normally I wouldn't be crying but the full moon messed up my emotions..."

Tonks laughed, "Sure Remus, sure... Now what can I do for these wounds?"

"Ah, I managed to stop these cuts from bleeding, but I think a couple of my fingers are broken..."

"Remus can you sit up? It'd be easier." Remus nodded, wincing as he sat up, dangling his feet off the bed.

"Oh! I forgot about this," Tonks said as she pulled a bar of chocolate from her robe.

"How did..."

"I think Sirius is trying to set us up, he practically shoved it on me this morning," Tonks said, winking.

Remus broke off a piece, "Want some?"

Tonks smiled, "After I fix you up," she said as she gingerly grabbed his hand. Tonks muttered a spell and pressed her wand to his hand, causing it glow red. "Merlin Remus, what did you do to break your hand?"

Remus groaned, "I broke it? I thought I only broke two fingers..."

"Hold still," Tonks said and she pressed her wand to his hand again.

Remus winced, then flexed his hand, sighing pleasantly at the absent pain, "Thanks."

"Remus, are you sure I can't heal this?" Tonks asked, pointing at the painful looking scratch.

Remus sighed, "Unfortunately, no. This is a cursed wound, since I inflicted it myself." Remus reached for another piece of chocolate with his left hand and winced.

"Remus...what other wounds do you have that your not showing me?" Tonks asked suspiciously. Remus quickly tried to cover up the sheets he'd been laying on, not wanting to worry her any more.

"Remus..."

"Nothing Tonks, I just need a shirt," Remus said getting up. Remus flinched when Tonks when she noticed the glass filled scratches on his back that were been steadily losing blood.

"Remus! Sit down! Your still bleeding from these!"

Remus turned around, "Tonks don't worry its fine, really." Remus continued walking when he stumbled.

"Remus, Remus hey..." Tonks said, hurrying up behind him to grab Remus right before his legs gave out.

"Remus," she whispered, "what just happened?"

Remus sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm weaker than I thought..."

"Of course you are Remus! You're loosing blood and...how on earth did you get these scratches?"

"I ran into a window last night."

Tonks gasped, "Did you hurt anyone?"

"No, no, no, I was in the Shrieking Shack last night and somehow I crashed into a window..."

"And you've been bleeding ever since? Remus!"

"Tonks really its..."

"Hold still while I fix it," Dora pressed her wand to his back, muttered something, and the shards of glass slowly removed themselves from his back, Remus clenched his teeth and unconsciously grabbed Tonks' hand as they did.

"Alright, now that the wound's clear I can properly heal it," she pressed her wand to his back again, and the wound sizzled and closed up, the skin slowly knitting back together. Tonks helped Remus up and over to the bed, where he sat down weakly.

"Remus, I need you to tell me exactly how long you've been bleeding and if you feel light headed, weak, drowsy, or dizzy."

Remus groaned, "I think since around one in the morning. All of the above, but I always feel all those things right after full moon."

"Is it worse than normal?"

Remus sighed, "Yes."

Tonks got a worried look in her eyes, "Remus stay here, I need you to stay alert and upright, can you do that for me?" Remus nodded as she hurried downstairs.

Five minutes later Tonks reappeared upstairs with a blood replenishing potion strong enough for Remus to only need to take it once. Remus was still sitting on the bed repeatedly rubbing his face.

"Come on Remus, drink this." Remus took the cup, hand shaking, and drank; she noticed he looked paler. Remus gagged slightly, but kept down the potion. Tonks sighed as she watched the color return to his face.

"Remus, what happened last night?"

"To be honest, I was thinking of you, I couldn't get your face out of my head, even as a werewolf. It was driving my werewolf mind crazy."

Tonks laughed, "You're kidding me right?"

Remus got quieter, "No, Tonks, I'm not," and he leaned in to kiss her.
