Chapter Fourteen
Two nights before Sirius was to re-take his Auror's license was the full moon.
Remus and Sirius put Harry to bed earlier than usual and this time Harry knew what was happening. The two men entered the basement and went through the intricate locking charms. Remus quickly undressed and stored his clothes and his wand on the shelf. He waited for the inevitable pain that was his transformation. He felt safer though knowing Harry understood not to come downstairs.
The little boy had hugged him hard that evening somehow knowing the comfort it gave him. His last thought before the pain and the wolf overtook him was of Harry.
Remus awoke in the morning hoping that nothing had gone wrong. Sirius came into his line of view and held out Remus' clothes and assured him nothing had gone wrong. Remus slowly made his way upstairs with Sirius' help. At the top of the stairs they were met by Harry who gingerly hugged Remus. Somehow despite everything Remus at that moment felt his life was perfect.
