1. Blood and Chocolate

Disclaimer: I do not claim nor own any of the Harry Potter characters mentioned in these ficlets. I only use them for my own sick pleasures.

Author's Note: This was the first ficlet I wrote. I'm so proud. It was the first ficlet for the livejournal community I made.

"Blood and Chocolate"

Lupin raised a piece of chocolate to his mouth, taking a portion in and biting it off. He sat on a rock in the hushed woods outside of Hogwarts, listening to the rustle of newly born leaves in the gentle breeze and lap of the lake water undulating against the shore.

He had just finished his Patronus lesson with Harry Potter. No more than a Bogart, the form of the dementor still had its effects on one's mood. The chocolate helped the illness inflicted by the dementor, but it aided something else for him as well: it rejuvenated the werewolf's body between full moons to prepare it for its next transformation.

The gangly professor reached into his trousers' pocket for another quantity of the creamy sweet, accidentally rubbing open a large, tender scratch on his hand that he'd obtained in the course of his last night under the full moon.

Blood trickled down his hand onto the piece of brown candy. Remus took a bite anyway, scarcely noticing between his troubled thoughts as he daydreamed the afternoon away. His scarred face was emotionless, but his eyes donned a feeling, though not a fabricated one of the dementor, but a true emotion: loneliness.
