A few days have passed, and the full moon was only a day away. Remus was in the living room when Hermione came down from her room. She was reading the new book that Remus gave her. "Hello Remus," she said quietly for she knew that his head hurt. she read about werewolves in the past few days. Remus opened his eyes and smiled weakly.

"Hello, Hermione. How was your book?" Remus asked as he put a hand over his eyes and let out a sigh. Hermione smiled and nodded.

"It's a good book. I did not want to put it down. I decided to come down here," Hermione said with a small smile. Remus returned it and let out a noise. Hermione smiled sadly as she pulled out the book that she was reading before and started to read. Remus let his eyes close for a minute before he opened them. He allowed himself to have a big smile on his face as he looked at Hermione who was laughing at her book. Remus closed his eyes once more as he drifted off to sleep. He knows that he will not have any nightmares this time because he is just too tired to have any.

Remus woke to a knock on the front door. However, he did not want to get up and answer it. Remus let out a sigh and stood. To his amazement, Hermione was by his side with his cane in her hand. "Here you go Remus," she said as she gave him his cane. He smiled at her and took the wooden cane into his hand.

"Thank you, cub," he rasped as he walked slowly over to the door with Hermione close behind him. Remus smiled when he saw Sirius at the door with Harry in his arms looking around him. "Siri? Hello, what are you doing here? Tomorrow is the full moon," Remus asked as he let Sirius in.

"Dumbledore asked me to come here. He said that he will talk to us both about tomorrow," Sirius replied as they all walked into the living room. Sirius lit the fire with his wand and sat down. Remus smiles at Hermione who just went back to her book, not caring about anyone else in the room. Sirius saw this and laughed at how much Hermione was like Remus. Harry ran over to her and asked:

"Can you read it to me 'Mione?" Hermione smiled and nodded as she read to 'The-Boy-Who-Lived.' Remus smiled at the friends and let out a shaky sigh.

"I know the answer: How are you feeling?" Sirius asked as he put his wand into his sleeve and propped his arms on his knees. It took a while for Remus to answer. Sirius knew this was going to happen. Remus had closed his eyes and sighed.

"Well, like I was run over by a Zouwu," Remus said with his hand over his eyes. Sirius, however, gave him a look.

"A what?" He asked looking confused. Remus let out a dry laugh.

"A Zouwu. It's a Chinese creature. Did you not read Fantastic Beasts and where to find them?" Remus asked playfully but his voice was full of pain and hoarseness. Sirius laughed as he looked at the fireplace. "What time did you say Dumbledore will get here?" Remus asked as he took his hands off his eyes. Sirius opened his mouth to say when Dumbledore came out of the fireplace.

"Ah, Remus, Sirius," he said as he walked out of the fireplace. Remus looked at him and nodded weakly. Sirius smiled.

"Hello sir," Sirius said speaking for them both. Dumbledore smiled and sat down.

"Now about tomorrow," Remus looked up sharply at his old headmaster and friend. "Harry and Hermione will be staying with the Hogwarts staff during the day so you, Remus can get some sleep before as you call it 'Moon rise.'" Remus smiled when Dumbledore used his term. "Sirius you may stay with Remus the whole day until the full moon," both Sirius and Remus nod. Harry and Hermione were in the background reading. It took a while for Dumbledore to notice them. When he did he smiled. "Would you like me to take the children back to the school right now or later?" he asked. Both Sirius and Remus thought for a moment. Then it was Remus who answered.

"Sir. I think it would be a good idea to take them tonight after dinner. Right Sirius?" Sirius nodded.

"I think I need to explain to Harry about me leaving him for one day again. So yes tonight will be a good idea," Sirius confirmed to his werewolf friend with a nod. Remus nodded back and put his hand over his face again. Dumbledore nodded and stood.

"Well then, I will see you tonight then," he said as he made his way to the fireplace. Hermione and Harry watched with awe as the old wizard disappeared in green flames.

Soon after Dumbledore left. Sirius with Harry left, but not in the same way that Dumbledore did. Leaving Remus alone once again with his cub and in his own weakness. It was dinner time now and the small family ate. They usually eat in silence but tonight was different because Remus was telling Hermione about what will happen tomorrow. Hermione listened even though she was nervous. Remus saw this on her face. "It's ok to be nervous love," Remus told her. "I will be fine and you will be safe," Remus added. Hermione nodded as the two ate once again in silence. However, Hermione had a question on her mind that she wanted to ask. However, she was scared to. The five-year-old took a deep breath and looked at Remus.

"Why is Harry so… so shy?" she asked Remus who looked up from his dinner.

"What? oh, Harry. Right, I should tell you. you have a right to know. The story of Harry James Potter and Sirius Black are not nice ones," Remus let out a shaky breath. "Well," he continued. "Harry's parents died when he was only one year old. Sirius could not raise him because, because people thought that he did a crime. Don't worry," he said as he saw a look of fear on his cub's face. "Sirius did not do anything. Harry had to live with his aunt and uncle. However, Harry's aunt hated her sister and magic. Harry's aunt was his mother's sister. Anyway, his aunt and uncle were not nice to Harry. I don't really want to go into details because it will haunt you. the good thing about this story is this summer the police got the man that did the crime and Sirius was let out of prison. Sirius saved his Godson and took those so-called relatives of Harry's to prison where they belong," Remus said with a smile as he thought of James and Lily. Hermione smiled sadly.

"is that why Harry's so drawn to Sirius?" Hermione asked. Remus nodded as he closed his eyes in weakness again. However, Remus said no more and Hermione knew that Remus needed rest so she got out of her chair and went up to pack for tomorrow. Leaving Remus in the dining room with a smile on his face.

Remus was asleep by the time Dumbledore got there to pick up Hermione. Dumbledore smiled at the werewolf sadly as he looked to Hermione who was reading one of her books, waiting for him. "Hello," he said quietly. Hermione smiled at him and said:

"Are we leaving now?" Dumbledore nodded as he picked up Hermione. "Wait," Hermione added as she was put down. She put on her backpack and then she walked over to Remus and kissed him on his cheek. She smiled and said: "Good night Moony," she then walked back over to the headmaster, who picked her up again and walked back over to the fireplace.

"Hold on tight," Dumbledore told her. Hermione nodded as she closed her eyes. Sirius arrived with a pop a few minutes later. "Moony," he called as he walked into the living room. He smiled when he saw his werewolf friend asleep. Sirius smiled and went to the guest room to put his trunk inside. Then he took the medical supplies and brought them down into the dining room. He then went up to bed. He's going to need all his rest to put up with Remus in the next night. Sirius, however, could not get to sleep. He kept thinking about Harry.

'He'll be fine Black. Worry about Remus right now.' Sirius let out a breath and closed his eyes.

A/N: I can't think of anything else to put in this chapter. So I'm ending it here. I'm glad you are enjoying it. Tell me what you think. I'm really loving this story. The full moon is next. That is going to be hard but yet fun to write. I hope you're loving it too. See you next time and have a good day. -Captain Voxland
