A week had passed since Milly knew the secret of her friend, Remus. She tried to her best to avoid Remus and her other friends. Whenever they asked for an apology, Milly would just passed by them. It was hard for Milly to ignore her old friends. Remus, James, Sirius and Peter weren't just her best friends, but she treats them like brothers. They were there to cheer her up with their crazy pranks and jokes when she's sad. They share detentions together. Having detentions with them had never been dull. Sure the task that had been assigned to them was exhausting, but they manage to make a boring and tiring detention into an entertaining one. Others may see their clique just as troublesome, but they are willing to do anything for each other (Except from Peter the traitor). They are willing to do crazy things in order to help one another. (Except from wormtail again) Just like with Remus's condition. They knew that being an animagus was no joke but they did that for their friend.
"I see you finally end your friendship with the jerks." Snape said.
"Sev!" Lily exclaimed.
"It's alright Lils." Milly forced a smile. Milly let Severus call James and Sirius a jerk. She agreed to him. James and Sirius hexed Severus just for fun. No matter how hard Milly tried to lecture the two they kept doing that. She admits that the jerks were fun to hang out with.
"Moony, how many Ravenclaws does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Guess what. They all starve to death in the dark with books in their hands. " James joked. Peter laughed and clapped his hands. Sirius chuckled but Remus seems to be trap in his own world. They hadn't seen Remus's smile since Milly found out about his secret. It's like the world was about to end for Remus. No matter what his friends say to him in order to feel better, he would still sulk. Milly was different from other girls for him. She was kind, bold, funny, and adventurous. She ate too much but she wouldn't care about gaining weight which most of the girls do. For him Milly is one of a kind. He was happy to be her friend. Now that she knew his secret. She'll probably hate him. He knew that because since he was a kid, all his friends would leave him once they knew that Remus was a werewolf. She'll hate me because I'm a monster. I can understand that a girl like her doesn't deserve to have a friend like me.
It was already mid-morning and Milly can't sleep. She knew she was being stubborn, but she can't think why Remus didn't tell her. Doesn't Remus trust me? Knowing that she won't fall asleep anytime soon, she decided to walk over on the gryffindor common room. There was no student around like she expected. They must be exhausted from all the classes. She sat on the velvet red couch facing the fireplace in the common room. It was her favorite place to hang out other than the birch tree beside the black lake. A moment later, Milly heard footsteps behind her. She turned to see who it was, and it was Remus. Remus smiled as his eyes met Milly's. Milly was about to head back to the girl's dorm when Remus stopped her.
"MIlly can you please give me a minute. Just a minute to hear me out please."
"Fine" Milly sighed. She wasn't in the mood to yell. Yelling would just make things worst besides students were already asleep.
"I know that you don't want to be around me now that you know what I really am and –"
"What? That's ridiculous. Even if you are a five foot gnome in disguise it won't change anything. For me, you're still Remus Lupin, the guy, who doesn't trust me." Milly hissed.
"You d-don't mind if I'm a werewolf? You're angry at me because I didn't tell you about my condition?" He chuckled. At this point, Millly thought that Remus has gone nuts. He was happy even Milly's still angry at him. He does deserve to be called loony. Milly nodded in reply to his questions.
"Why would you think I'll hate you if you're a werewolf? Did you expect me to yell around the great hall that you're a werewolf because that's absurd, you lunatic. I may blab all my secrets to my best friends, but I would never tell secrets that aren't mine" Milly rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Milly. When I was a kid, my friends left me once they knew that I'm a werewolf. I thought that you'd leave me if I told you about my…condition. Not everyone has understood about my condition. I'm sorry that I thought you'd end our friendship once you knew that I have lycanthropy. I trust you Milly." Remus smiled. He remembered how his old friends reacted when they knew that he was a werewolf. They left him and pretended that he never existed in their life. He was very happy when James, Sirius and Peter knew his secret, and yet they still chose to be his friend. Milly was there for him. He should have told her from the start if he knew that Milly would still accept him.
"So you trust me?" Milly grinned.
"I trust you, one hundred percent, Millicent." Remus assured her.
"You're not yet forgiven, moony. It isn't necessary to tell me all your secrets. The thing is, whatever you share must be true." Milly said playfully. Remus responded with a nod.
"I'll forgive you in one condition." Milly smiled.
"Anything" Remus chuckled. He never expected that Milly would just forgive him like that. James was right. Everything would be alright.
"No more lies?" Milly held out her pinky.
"No more lies" Remus shook Milly's pinky with his.
Sorry if the chapter is short. Hope you like it and thanks for reading! A review makes me know that people are still reading my story.
