Remus Lupin was sprawled out on the grass near the Black Lake. His three best friends were beside him as they all soaked up the sun and enjoyed the spring atmosphere.
There was a slight breeze and the smell of flowers filled the air, and Remus thought this could be heaven. But it couldn't be heaven, because it wouldn't last.
Soon, it would turn to night and the moon would rise in the sky. The moon: Remus despised it. He loathed the very thought of it. It was his enemy; his undoing; his weakness; his curse.
He was forced to change into the terrible beast at every full moon. The only savings grace was that his friends had become animagi in order to be with him during that time.
He didn't feel so alone anymore, and he was grateful to his friends, but he couldn't help the jealousy that hid deep inside of him. He tried to ignore it and push it away, but it always reared its ugly head.
They didn't have to be there. They weren't slaves to the moon, and they didn't dread the nighttime. They could enjoy the stars and the moon and the night air, which was something he could never do.
Remus would always be different, and as much as he tried to accept it, he always wished that he could trade places with any one of them.
