Yes, I know that most of you must hate me for the last chapter… but think about this… (IF YOU DONT LIKE SPOILERS LOOK AWAY RIGHT NOW!) If you thought that was bad wait till you see the very last chapter… ANYWAY, to make amends I am going to kill off Brian Yaxley, Antonin Dolohov, and Igor Karkaroff, and put Avery Nott in a coma or something. I'm thinking either death by a bad car accident or a gas explosion… does anyone have any other suggestions?

This chapter is for kasssumi who was the first reviewer. kasssumi, I would also like to apologize for making your chapter such a short one. But it's very important. You'll see.

Remus sat quietly in the large white bed. The pictures hanging on the pale green walls of the hospital seemed to loom out at him like deranged faces. He wished that he could just close his eyes but every time he did he could see Tonks' face contorting in horror and he could hear her scream and her nearly sobbing into her cell phone as she called the police.

He had blacked out after that.

When he had woken up Doctors and Nurses had swarmed around Remus' bed, asking him questions and demanding him to tell them how he felt. Then, in front of Tonks (who had been sitting silently in the corner the whole time) the head Doctor had hoisted Remus' naked legs up into stirrups, and stared to prod at Remus' torn hole with his stubby fingers and weird medical instruments. When he was finished he had informed Remus that he had been raped, his anus had ripped, and they were going to have to sew it back up. Then they had given Remus some painkillers 'sewn' him back up and left, leaving Remus to bask in his humiliation and shame. As soon as the Doctors and Nurses left the room, Tonks had migrated from the corner and over to the side of Remus' bed.

Now Tonks was peering down at him with a devastated expression on her face. "I'm so sorry…" She whispered. "This was all my fault. If I had just paid more attention to you, then you wouldn't have gotten mad and-"

"Tonks." Remus mumbled, and tried to glare at his distraught friend. "Just... stop talking, alright? This isn't your fault." He closed his eyes and sighed heavily, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in his backside.

"But if it wasn't for me then you wouldn't have run off. And if you hadn't run off then you wouldn't have been attacked and-"

"Shut up."

Surprisingly, Tonks obeyed and fell silent.

The two friends sat in quiet for a few moments before Tonks decided to start speaking again. "What happened?"

"What do you think?" Remus laughed bitterly. "I was fucking gang raped."

"You know that wasn't my question." Tonks said quietly.

Remus sighed heavily. "I know… W-what do you want me to tell you?"

"What happened?" Tonks asked again. "Why have you been acting so down lately? Why do you always make excuses, and what are they for? Why do you talk with guys like Malfoy, and then tell me and Peter that you don't know what we're talking about when we ask you about it?"

"Where is Peter by the way?" Remus asked, attempting to change the subject.

"He's outside. They won't let non-family members in. I told them that you were my cousin. I don't think that they believed me though…" Tonks shook her head. "Anyway, answer my questions and don't try to change the subject again."

And Remus told her. Remus told her everything. He told her about his 'addiction', Rosemerta, his tattoo, and his strange and unexplainable fascination and obsession with the 'Sexy Tattoo Artist' aka, Sirius Black.

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you just say 'Sirius Black'?"

"Yeah I did." Remus frowned suspiciously. "Why?"

"Sirius fucking Black?"

"Why does everyone have that same reaction?" Remus demanded. "What is so special about 'Sirius fucking Black'. You know, besides him being really, really sexy… and gorgeous… and talented… and sexy…"

"His parents and mine were good friends." Tonks interrupted before Remus could start drooling. "His little brother lives with us, and he comes to dinner every Thursday night. Plus, he's like the older brother that I've never had. We practically grew up together."

"Oh." Remus suddenly regretted all the times he rejected Tonks' invitations to her house.

Tonks smiled slightly at the put out expression on Remus' face. "You're such a whore…"

Remus grinned. "It takes one to know one."

Tonks smiled, hesitated slightly, and then leaned over and hugged Remus the best she could. "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too, Friend." Remus said quietly.

"I love you like a friend, lover, and a brother… I never want to see you hurt again." Tonks' voice cracked. "It hurts too much."

"I missed you." Remus' breath shuddered. "I missed you so, so much."

Suddenly, the bittersweet moment was shattered when the door was flung open and a hysterical woman flung herself onto Remus' bed. "Remus! You're all right! Oh, God, I was so scared when I got the call! I'm so sorry! I'm so, so sorry Remus!"

"Mummy?" Remus stared at his weeping mother. "What are you doing here?"

"We just got the phone call." A new voice said quietly. Remus' head jerked up and his eyes met his fathers. "We thought you were dead… we would never be able to forgive ourselves if-" John Lupin's voice cracked and he was forced to stop talking.

"My Poor Baby…" Silvia Lupin whispered, and slowly stroked her son's face. "My Poor, Poor Baby…."

Told you it was short… yet important, am I right, or am I right? BTW, not all updates will be this fast. Just warning you.

As you all know FF's been acting up… have any of you by chance figured out how to post one shots?
