The Flower's story chp6

"Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Remus looked around Platform 9 3/4's for his friends. He had noticed a change of atmosphere the second he crossed through the barrier. Everyone seemed sadder this year, and he knew why. Voldemort had killed so many families in just two months. He looked around some more and saw some children being pryed away from their parents just because they were to scared to leave them. Who knows? Maybe those parent's wouldn't be here next year. Just like his.

"Oy! Remus!" unfortunately he didn't see the tall boy run up behind him and scream in his ear.

Remus jumped a foot into the air.

"What'd you do that for Sirius?" he asked rubbing his ear.

Sirius thought about this for a minute.

"I don't remember............"

Remus rolled his eyes and smiled as Lily, Tasha, Molly, and James walked up to him.

"Hello Sirius and Remus." James bowed.

"Why James, I think you have grown since the last time I saw you!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Well of course! Someone is bound to grow between the time period of" he looked at his watch "Eight hours!"

They laughed.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

James and Lily sat in the common room that night playing chess. Tasha and Sirius were off somewhere, Molly was doing her homework in her room. She had said the common room was too loud. And Peter was snoring away in his dormitory.

"So lil, where do you think Sirius and Tasha are?" He grinned as he took her queen.

"They are either making out with each other or, Checkmate, blowing up a toilet." She smiled right back.

He stared at the board for awhile then tried to register what she had said.

"Making out with each other? Don't you think that's a little far-fetched."

He pulled a face at her.

"No! They are such the perfect couple!" she said acting like a blonde.

"Besides, anything's possible!" she smiled at him

and starte to drift off to some distant place just staring at james' face.

'he has nice eyes'. The realization of what she had just thought hit and she snapped to.

"Lil, you've known Remus for a long time right?"

He started putting the screaming chess pieces away.

She nodded trying not to look him in the eye.

"Well, Sirius and I want to know where he goes every month. Do you know where?"

He asked delicately

"No!" she said a little to quickly.

"I mean, well...... He goes to visit his parents in the hospital. Their not dead you know, just asleep........ " she avoided his eyes still.

"Oh...... right." For some reason he didn't believe her but didn't press the subject.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

It took a little while for everyone to get back into the swing of things but they managed. Remus, James, and Sirius kept having their little adventures using James' invisibility cloak. Even Peter came along sometimes.(When they could wake him up!) But a couple of times, they got detentions from a wandering Filch, the caretaker. But other than that everything was completely normal.

"Hey James, guess what?" Sirius asked innocently

"Not now sirius, I have to study for this charms test. I'm terrible at it!"

"You can get Lil to help you tomorrow. But guess what?"

James saw he wasn't going to win this one.

"Fine! What?" he asked annoyed.

"Remus is gone again! Do you wanna follow him this time?"

"Sirius Lily told me where he goes every-"

"You believe that? Please! They are both hiding something from all of us and it has nothing to do with Remus' parents! So whatta you say mate? You in or out?"

"In!" he said grabbing the invisibility cloak.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

James and Sirius walked slowly down the corridor looking for Remus

"I think we should go back to the common room before someone hears us!" Sirius whispered.

"No one will hear us if you shut your trap git!" he complained.

But suddenly they heard the front doors opening.

"Poor poor boy." It was Madame pomfrey the school nurse. "Got the bite so young." She whipped her head around when she heard a wolf cry.

"Poor poor boy" she muttered as she walked back toward the hospital wing.

"You don't think that Remus could be a..." Sirius asked.

"Probably is." He whispered back. "He probably thinks that we won't be his friend if we know."

"Wow, that's so cool! We have a werewolf as a friend!"

James gave him a look that said 'your one strange cookie.'

"Lily obviously knows because she's been covering for him but who else knows?"

"Dumbledore and all the staff!" Sirius said proud of himself to get something right.

"Yes, yes... I say we confront him about it!"

"All right!"

"Tomorrow!" he said with a sort of finality

"Tomorrow? But that's in.... two hours! And its to soon I mean don't you think we should tell Lily that we know?"

"Sirius you are so pathetic!"

"No I'm not!" he said pouting

"We might as well tell Lil that we know too!"

He muttered to himself.

"Fine! Don't consult with me! I'll just-"

"Common, we have to get back to the common room before someone hears us!"

"Why didn't I think of that?" sirius rolled his eyes.

*-*-*-*-*-*

Being that it was a Saturday, everyone slept in except Lily and Remus. They had been annoyingly woken up by James and Sirius for 'an important meeting' as Sirius had put it.

"What is it you guys cause I wanna go back to sleep, if possible" Lily whined.

James noticed that Remus was falling asleep in his chair. Probably of exhaustion from last night.

"We have something to say to the both of you." James said.

"And no we're not getting married!" Sirius said off of Lily's looks.

"We no what you are Remus!"

Remus instantly woke up and stared at them a little surprised. Of course him and Lily tried to cover it up first.

"I don't know what you mean?" Remus exclaimed

"Did you two wake us up just for a bunch of bollucks?"

"Hey, I think it's pretty cool that you're a werewolf!" Sirius smiled.

"You do? I mean..uh..werewolf, what are you talking about?"

"Werewolf! You know! Awooooooo" Sirius said with a grin. If Sirius had a tail at that moment he would definitely be wagging it.

In spite of the tension they had to give at least a giggle at this comment.

"Ok. Let's say hypothetically yes I'm a werewolf! But then no on would trust me. I mean Lily was actually in the same boat as I was when I got the bite so she understands."

"How's that?"

"Well we both had been attacked. We were..7 years old I think. Right Lil?" Lily nodded solemnly in agreement. "Anyway, Lily being the curious little tomb boy that she was went running into the forest on a full moon. I being the only sane person in her company, ran after her. She had stopped at this little stream and before I could even yell at her to run I saw this giant dog jump onto her and grab her by the shirt. I ran over and tore her out of the wolf's teeth but in the process got bit myself."

"Hence werewolf" James said sadly

"Hence werewolf" Lily nodded. She sat next to Remus and smiled at him. "If it hadn't been for Remus I would've also been a werewolf or worse..."

"Wait a second, so you knew about Magic before you got your letter didn't you?"

James wondered out loud.

"Yes...Aren't I a lovely actress?" Lily got up and bowed imitating James and Sirius.

"Well, I fell for it! So no one else knows right? Besides the staff of course."

"Right, and I'd like to keep it that way all right?" Remus looked straight into their eyes.

They heard a little cough coming from the other side of the room.

"To late."

An: Cue suspense music lol. OK I know this was a bit cheesy but I always thought that's how they should find out you know? Okey dokey. You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out who that was so be patient. Please Review and no flames!
