Chapter 1
L ycanthropy
Sirius
Remus sits alone on the huge table, with his nose buried in a book, I observe him from a behind a book case. He looks like he could be really settled into whatever he's reading, time for me to step in. I walk out from behind the book case and creep up behind him, barely making a noise.
"What you reading?" I shriek loudly into his ear like an annoying kid. He jumps slightly and I can't help but giggle, receiving glares from the other students in the Library. I take a seat opposite him, waiting for a reply. He lifts his book up and turns it, so the bottom of the pages hit the table with a low thud. I squint and read the peeling gold letters, "Lycanthropy… What the hell is that?" Remus glances up at me over the book, with a surprised look on his angelic face.
"It's just a big word meaning the transformation from a man into a wolf." He turns back to his book and starts to read again.
"Oh," I whisper, "well, wouldn't you already know a lot about that…. I mean… You have first hand experience."
"Yes, but I don't know everything," he whispers back. "I'm just trying to find out more."
"Maybe I could help?" Now he had to look at me, his eyes seemed to be scanning my face. I pouted and batted my eyelashes, but he shook his head with a frown. After about a minute of silent begging, he finally he gave in with a sigh and a small nod.
"So what are you trying to find out?" I say, actually interested, it didn't last for long as I stared off into his amber eyes, so innocent but slightly tainted, probably the werewolf leaving it's mark. It took me several seconds to realise Remus was talking.
"-to find out more about…Well... Certain urges before the full moon," He blushed violently and my eyebrows shot up. I'm glad I caught the end of what he had to say.
"Finding it useful?" I ask, trying not to grin.
"Sort of… But it's mostly just analysing the feelings. Not really helping me much… There are some questions I answered," he said, picking up a small, crumpled piece of paper. "I got the questions from this book, they're okay but don't tell me how to control the feelings." He was just about to put the piece of paper in his pocket before I snatched it from his grasp.
He leaps forward, attempting to get it back, but I rest on the two back legs of my chair. I clutch the paper in one hand and holding onto the edge of the table with the other, Remus still trying to reach across the table for it. I start to read it orally, but still keeping my voice down.
"Number one, are you easily aroused near the full moon?" I pause to read the answer, "Yes… Two, do you find it hard to control yourself? Are you aroused by completely normal things? Are you being attracted to people you see everyday?" I read the three answers with a grin. Maybe I'm taking this too far, but he would have told me to stop by now. I look up at him seeing him glaring at me, in an uncharacteristic way.
He reaches desperately for it again. I look back down to read the next question, "Do you find yourself being attracted to the same sex?" He lunges over the table with such force that he could have fallen over the table and knocked me off my chair. The paper is swiped out of my hands before I get to read his answer and he shoves it inside the open pages of the book. He shuts it quickly and sits back down, looking sadly down at the table. Oh shit, I've gone too far.
"Remmie?" I pause. "Sorry… I should have asked if I could read them… I guess I really put my paw in it now."
He faces me with a small smile, "You can probably just read the questions for yourself." I say and stand up cautiously, hoping I haven't upset him. Then I leave, but not without getting a book for myself.
