Chapter 5
Another week or so went by before another full moon made its course. Remus was feeling awful, as he usually does when a full moon comes around. His head hurt, his stomach hurt, his face was pale, his whole body ached and had had no energy to do anything. What was really bothering him was what Rayna would think of him. Would she think he was strange after a few more times of being sick every month? Would she get suspicious? What he didn't know was that Rayna was going through the same problem. She, too, felt awful. Her head hurt, her face was pale, her stomach hurt, and her whole body ached just as his did. She was thinking as well, what would Remus think? Would he figure it out?
Though Remus felt drag, he knew he had to get up and pretend like he felt fine. He got up and dressed and went downstairs to the Great Hall to eat a tiny breakfast, though he wasn't hungry. Rayna got up as well, dressed, and went down to the great hall to eat breakfast.
Remus was walking down the boy's dormitory stairs when he accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry," he said drowsily as he looked to whom he bumped.
"It was my fault," Rayna replied. "Oh, Remus. It's you. You don't look well, are you all right?" She asked, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"O, yes. I'm fine, just still a little tired, I guess. Will you do me the honor of walking with me to breakfast?" Remus said, trying to change the subject.
"Sure," Rayna answered as they began to walk to the Great Hall. While they were walking, Remus looked at Rayna and began to think. She doesn't look that well either. I wonder if she is sick or something. Or maybe...No she couldn't be. Dumbledore wouldn't have another werewolf at Hogwarts. It would be to dangerous. Remus shook the thought from his head. There continued to be silence as they walked into the hall and sat down next to their friends.
"Good morning, all," Remus said, sitting between Sirius and James.
"Good morning," Lily replied. Sirius and James just gave a nod as they continued to eat. Lily was eating in her usual polite manner. James and Sirius, as if they were savages, were stuffing their food in their mouths. Peter was a savage as well. Remus rolled his eyes at the site and then began to watch Rayna eat her breakfast. He noticed that she wasn't eating as much as she usually does, but didn't say anything. He just continued watching her. She was sitting next to Lily quietly eating, looking tired and pale. I hope she is all right. Remus thought. Just then, Rayna looked up and met Remus' stare. They both quickly looked away. Rayna smiled to herself and looked up again. She noticed that he was slightly blushing.
After they finished eating, the six went up to their rooms to get their books and things for their classes for the day.
"Did Rayna look a little sick to you at breakfast?" Sirius asked, picking up a pile of books that was under his bed and covered in dust.
"Yeah, I wonder if she is sick, " Peter said, a little worried for Rayna.
"Yeah. I hope not. I don't want to catch anything for the Quidditch match," James said. Remus kept quiet and just continued packing his books. Then it hit him.
"Oh, no! Tomorrow!" he yelled.
"What are you screaming about?" Sirius asked.
"Tomorrow, Rayna will wonder why I am sick in bed and why I will 'disappear' tonight! What will I tell her?"
"You would just tell her that you got really sick all of the sudden and Dumbledore wanted to take care of you in a private room," James said.
"O yes, that doesn't sound suspicious at all," Remus commented.
"Well, it's either that or telling her the truth," James stated.
"I guess your right," Remus sighed. "Well, come on. We have to go to Potions class with the Slytherins."
The three of them groaned as they walked out of the boys dormitory and down the halls and staircases to the dungeons for potions.
Rayna was starting to worry about her transformation. What would they do with me? she thought. I hope they don't tie me up or something. She tried to clear her mind about it and finish packing her books away.
"Are you ready to go?" Lily asked, putting her backpack on.
"I guess, but do you know what they'll do with me tonight? I mean, with the transformation and everything," Rayna asked. Indeed, Lily did know. Remus told her what it was like in the 'Shrieking Shack'.
"No, I have no idea," She lied. "Come on, we are going to be late for class if we don't get a move on."
They both walked out of the room and went to the dungeons.
