A/N: Yes, the following paragraph is from Mitchell's description of George transforming in Being Human Season 1 Episode 2 (With some modifications). And I am using the werewolf from the POA movie for Remus' transformation because, well, I like it better then the book's.

"He should be dead within 30 seconds. The werewolf heart is about twice the size of a human's. But in order to grow, first it has to stop. In other words, he has a heart attack. All of the internal organs are larger, so while he's having his heart attack, he's having liver and kidney failure too. If he stops screaming, it's not because the pain has dulled, his throat, gullet and vocal chords are tearing and reforming. He literally can't make a sound. By now the pituitary gland should be working overtime, flooding his body with endorphins to ease some of the pain, but that too has shut down. Anyone else would have died of shock long ago. But it won't kill him and that's the thing I find most remarkable. It drags him through the fire and keeps him alive and even conscious to endure every second. Nothing like this could just evolve. An impossible lethal curse spread by tooth and claw, victim begets victim begets victim. It's so cruel, it's... perfect."

Sirius put down the book on werewolves that Remus had lent him. "That is…awful. It's almost like he admires the transformation! Eh…just…eh!"

"That's what I thought! And this guy is supposed to be an expert on werewolves. I mean, yea, he's got some good tips but the transformation is definitely not perfect! More like torture…"

Sirius frowned at his friend. Remus was only a few months younger than he, but he certainly had a significantly larger burden to carry. All that pain he had to go through every month…Sirius suspected that he would have jumped off of the Astronomy Tower years ago. Sirius returned his attention to Transforming: Tips for Your First Moon. He flipped a few pages ahead and stopped. It showed quite graphic MOVING photographs of werewolves in various stages of their transformation. His eyes stopped on the picture that dominated the page.

It was more like movie then anything else. It showed the full moon rising and the man beginning his decent into madness. Remus' eyes drifted to the page that Sirius' eyes were affixed. His expression turned to one of embarrassment and he slammed the book shut on his friend's fingers.

"OOOOWWWW! You TWAT! Watch it, will ya? I kind of like my fingers being attached to my hand, ya know?" Sirius glowered at Remus as he sucked on his rapidly swelling fingers.

Remus winced. "Sorry, I didn't think." He said quietly. "Come on; let's have Madam Pomfrey have a look at those. Wouldn't you to have an excuse for not doing your Potions essay, now would we?"

What? I always have an excuse! You know…"

Remus cut him off. "I mean a VALID one, Sirius." He smirked, shoved Transforming: Tips for Your First Moon by Kent MacAlaster into his book bag and dragged his friend to the Hospital Wing where the school nurse mended his fractured fingers with a flick of her wand.
