Remus was lying motionless in his bed at St Mungo's and his lifeless form was covered in bandages, some of which had blood leaking through them already. A healer was hovering in the corner of the room awaiting the arrival of his parents in order to seek permission to use potions and healing charms on the boy to heal his injuries.
She watched the child sleeping and thought he looked remarkably peaceful for someone who had been through all he had in the past 12 hours but then she supposed he couldn't understand it all. Of course, the fact that he was unconscious probably had something to do with it as well.
She knew that his parents had arrived by the commotion coming from the corridor. It sounded just like two parents desperately trying to find their son. They were calling the name "Remus" over and over again and she sighed, looking at the poor child and wondering if he could hear them.
She walked to the door and opened it, ushering them inside and then closing it behind them once again.
"Remus, oh Remus," the woman, clearly his mother, cried as she grabbed his hand and held it in hers tightly, scooting close to the bed and whispering, "I'm sorry, Remus."
"Please try not to move him," the Healer said as she tried to move the woman away from her seriously ill son, "He's still unconscious at the moment so he won't be able to hear you. We need to get your permission to use certain healing potions and healing charms on your son in order to help him to get better more quickly," the Healer explained as she tried to calm down the hysterical woman in front of her.
"Do it! Use anything if it will make him better!" his mother cried as a small frown appeared on her husband's face at the way his wife was behaving. He soon found his wife clinging to him instead of the Healer, though, and he held her gently in his arms as he watched the Healer performing a few spells on Remus. "Will he be alright?" she asked whilst crying at the same time and trying to avoid looking at the blood stained bandages her son was wearing.
"He should be fine, although we aren't sure what affect the bite has had on him as of yet. There are tests we can do before the full moon in order to find out though," the Healer explained as she poured a goblet of potion for Remus and then helped his unconscious body to drink it.
