=Chapter 7=
Time flew quickly so it was already October, and alas, 4 days before Friday the Thirteenth. Remus, Sirius, Peter, and James were sitting in the chairs in front of the fireplace. Due to the fact that it was 12:00 midnight, everyone but the four were asleep, so they could have a free conversation.
"Guess what happens in four days," Sirius practically yelled.
"Friday the thirteenth," Peter stuttered, "The bad luck day, Padfoot. Why are you so happy about it?"
Sirius just made a face, "Bad luck? Friday the-"
"Wormtail!" James interrupted, "Padfoot means the full moon! The full moon is what's happening in four days! Who the bloody hell cares about the blasted Friday the thirteenth?"
Peter continued to stutter, "W-w-well, it's just considered-"
"That's just superstition," Remus replied looking a bit weary, "I think I'm going to go to the hospital wing tomorrow. I'm not feeling up to myself."
"Is it that bad this month?" James asked, looking a bit concerned.
"Yeah. I think so," Remus answered, "Let's just get some sleep. Maybe I'll feel good enough to go to classes tomorrow."
=
"I don't feel good enough to go to classes today," Remus said, barely able to pick up his spoon of cereal.
"Let's go take you to the hospital wing then," Sirius put down his pumpkin juice to help Remus up, "That new nurse, what's her name?"
"Madame Pomfrey," Peter piped up.
"Yeah, that's right. She may let us spend time with you," Sirius finished.
"And if she doesn't," James said with a grin, "We can become sick, if you catch my drift."
"I don't understand," Peter said, looking a bit baffled.
=
"You may all stay," Madame Pomfrey said, after a five minute argument with the rest of the marauders, "Just be sure that you don't wake up the patient in the bed next to you."
"Right, right," James said, pulling up three chairs as she left.
"You guys didn't have to stay, you know!" Remus sighed.
"No worries!" Sirius patted his friend on the back, "Besides! It's like a get out of class free card."
Madame Pomfrey came back with two glasses of water, two pills, and two large bars of honey dukes chocolate. She gave one glass of water and one chocolate bar to Remus.
"What are those for?" Peter asked, gesturing towards the other bar of chocolate, pills and the glass of water.
"Pull back that curtain separating the two beds please, Mr. Potter," Madame Pomfrey answered, "These are for the patient in the next bed.
James did as told and lying there was Lily Evans looking like she was in much agony. Her eyes shot open as she stared at the four boys and nurse. She tried to sit up, but clutched her stomach as she fell backwards, moaning a bit.
"Ms. Evans," Madame Pomfrey made her way towards Lily's bed, "I told you it's better not to move!" She helped Lily to sit up.
"Thanks," Lily answered wearily as she consumed the two pills, "When can I leave?"
"When you feel better. Eat this chocolate! It will help," Madame Pomfrey then gestured towards the chocolate and walked away, "Just call me if you need help, "She called over her shoulder."
"You okay, Lily-kins?" Sirius asked, handing Lily the chocolate she was reaching for.
She looked at the four boys and forced a weak smile, "Yeah, I guess you can say that," she took a bite, "What are you here for, anyways?"
"Remus," Peter pointed, "Isn't feeling too well."
"Ah, I see," Lily answered, taking a gulp from her glass of water.
While she was looking away, Sirius tapped James on the shoulder.
"What?" he mouthed. Sirius then pointed at James, pointed at himself and began to ruffle his hair. James just shook his head, meaning he had no need to.
"By the by," Remus tried not to laugh at the gestures Sirius was doing, "Why are you here, Lily?"
She put down her glass of water, a true smile now on her face, "Well… I'm not feeling up to myself… I guess you can say that It's that time of the month!" She fell back down into her bed, her back to the marauders, "I'll just get some shut eye here, then! Goodnight."
After the four were sure she was truly asleep, James asked, "That time of the month? She's not feeling up to herself??? You don't think-"
"Hardly possible!" Remus interrupted his friend, "If Lily was a werewolf, she would be in the shrieking shack with us every month!"
"Unless she got bitten during the summer," Sirius pondered aloud, "Or maybe Dumbledore put her in a different place… maybe the room of requirement."
"But Lily as a werewolf? Lily of all people?" Remus asked.
"Hey! Who would've guessed that you were a werewolf," James asked, eyebrow raised.
"Maybe you bit her," Peter suggested.
"Wormtail you idiot," Sirius inhaled deeply, "We're always with Moony! If we didn't see someone get bitten by him, no one got bitten!"
"Maybe we should ask her then," Remus asked, clutching his stomach.
Lily woke up from her nap, "Oh, God!" She clutched her stomach and ran to the bathroom.
"She's a werewolf," Sirius stated as he watched her off.
=
"Dangit," Lily muttered to herself, "I hate being a woman! Stupid PMS!"
Lily's period skipped two months so now, let's just say, it's coming in HARD!
After feeling she could stand, she walked out towards her bed again.
"Lily?" She turned to see Remus and the other three marauders looking at her through sorrow filled eyes.
"Hmm?" she replied, hoping her mood swings don't get the better of her this month.
"We know," James answered, looking a bit sad.
"Know about what?"
"Know about you, and why you're in the hospital wing," Peter answered.
"I told you why though," she answered, "It's that time of the month!"
"Yes we know," Remus answered, "But if it makes you feel better, I'm having it too."
Lily now was perplexed, 'Are they shitting me? Why would Remus have a period???'
"You're just like me," Remus continued, no longer looking at Lily.
"What do you mean?"
"We know about you and Remus being, you know," Sirius muttered, "About you two being werewolves."
Lily's eyes widened. Remus was a werewolf? No Way! He's way to kind to be a werewolf. She took one look at four of them and said what she was thinking, "You guys are shitting me!"
They looked up at her, "What are you talking about?" James asked.
"Wait," Lily asked, "Lupin… are you a werewolf?"
He nodded.
"That's why you're always gone once a month?"
He nodded, "Lily, You're a werewolf too, right?"
She shook her head, "No."
=
She shook her head, "No," she answered.
Remus's face paled. He just let his biggest secret out to someone he thought was a werewolf, but wasn't.
"But you said it was that time of the month," Sirius asked, his face loosing color, "And you said you weren't feeling up to yourself."
"Do you know what menstruation is?" she replied.
The four shook their heads no.
=
The four shook their heads no.
'They don't know about menstruation,' Lily said to herself.
"Well," she took a deep breath.
=
After explaining about 'that time of the month,' Lily looked at the four boys who looked as if they were about to vomit something nasty.
"You must be kidding me," James said, regaining his voice, "You bleed once every month?!?!"
"No, I'm not kidding you!" she answered, trying to stifle her laughter at their reaction, "Do you know nothing about female development?"
The four shook their heads.
"Well," she started, "I guess you could call that the first part." Before she could make it to her bed, someone grabbed her arm.
"Please," James pleaded with her, "Don't let Moony- Remus's secret get out."
She looked at him for a minute, then looked up at Remus who looked as if he were about to get on his knees and beg her.
"Fine," the guys sighed in relief, "But will you tell me what those nicknames are about? I understand 'moony' already, but I still don't understand you others."
James released her hand as Sirius answered, "Sorry, confidential stuff!"
"Go out with me and I'll tell you," James said, his cheeky grin in place.
"Never in my life," Lily said, a furious smile split her face, "But let me tell you something that pops up with PMS," she looked crazy now, "It's called mood swings," and with that line said, she chased James around the wing.
