Big Bad Wolf Problems
'What have I walked into this time?' Harry thought as the fifteen year old stared nervously at the sprawled out form of his honorary Godfather, Mooney, on the floor. "Mooney? Is everything alright?"
"No! She rejected me!" Remus said with a dramatic sob causing Harry to turn slightly to look at Bane for help. "She said that if I tried anything, no matter how small than I would find my body parts in the post and on their way back to me! And she also said that no magic could protect me, she is even willing to use silver and chocolate as forms of torture against me!"
"Mooney...I do not know what is going on or who 'she' is but what I do know is that you might be going through a little midlife-crisis after the battle at the Ministry," Harry said slowly as he took a step closer only to find his mate wrapping a protective arm around his shoulders. "Padfoot did not die, he just took a nasty hit to the head that has left him with a bad headache. There is no need to-"
"She threatened me with chocolate! She said she would cast a hex on me to make sure that I could never enjoy my beloved treat again!" Remus wailed out, totally ignoring Harry's words and Bane who was now giving him a strange look. "The love of my life does not care or love me at all! These horrid emotions, happiness and sadness, loved and denied, they are so cruel to me, I want to regret ever falling in love but I have not yet earned the right to look back!"
"If you feel that badly about it then why do you not go and cover yourself in some honey," Bane said suddenly, finally talking for the first time since he had entered the room with his beloved Centaur mate causing all of the attention to turn to him. "Your good at books so you could glean over the important and none important parts before doing what you think is best."
"Bane..." Harry said warningly as he shot his beloved a sharp glare. "While I love you dearly and I feel like I am the luckiest Centaur on the planet for finding you early and I look forward to the day I am of age so we can officially mate...what you are about to suggest better not be the trumpet and strap method that I have read about in one of your books back in the village."
Remus paused his self pity for a moment and watched with a spark of amusement as the normally brave and powerful Centaur warrior suddenly acted like a small child (or foal) being scolded. Being a werewolf had given him a unique view on things, one that at moments like this brought him enough happiness to shove his depression to the side for a few short seconds.
"Anyway," Harry said loudly and dramatically as he decided to throw his mate a life line. "Who is this 'she' that you are so depressed about, Mooney? Is she pretty? Strong?"
A playful grin came to Harry's face as he watched a blush come to Remus' checks. His eyes lit up with interest as he watched Remus silently mull it over, apparently having a few short minutes of clear thinking before verbally replying. Only when the words came out of his honorary Godfather's mouth Harry found himself glad for having four legs. If he did not then Harry was sure he would of been on the floor in shock.
"Her name is Bellatrix Lestrange."
