The Marauders Saga part one

"The Orange Moon"

Disclaimer: if I owned Remus, I'd be nursing him back to health right now. Read on.

Chapter 3:

Remus woke up in the hospital wing. Everything ached. He couldn't' remember much of what had happened after he transformed. He never did. He was lying on his stomach for reasons he could not fathom and his wrist had a shooting pain in it. He turned his head to look up. James and Sirius were sitting on chairs looking at him.

"James? Sirius?" his voice was hoarse.

"Remus!" Sirius exclaimed. "How do you feel?"

"Why did Madam Pomfrey put me on my stomach? I feel queasy. I might have eaten a small woodland creature."

"Ew...."They both said.

"I know."

"Well, you've got these terrible scratches all over your back."

"What happened to my wrist?"

"You somehow, sort of, twisted it so it was on backwards."

"Ohhh," Remus groaned. "Stop, you're going to make me sick!"

"Why did you go alone?" Sirius demanded. "You're lucky James didn't find you dead this morning!"

"I did it for your benefit. I knew I was going to be terrible so I went alone to spare you."

"Well," began James. "I know you were thinking of us, and that's nice and all! But, you should have thought about your own good as well.

"I know. Where did you find me?"

"A few feet from the Willow, in the Forest. You tore up half of it!"

"Oh, you know, if you guys are scared off by this, I wouldn't blame you if you ditched me. I'm a menace."

"Of course not!" said James.

"We'll always be your friends!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Thanks guys! I'd hug you but my back is killing me!"

They all laughed and they didn't notice a small pointed nose peeking around the corner.
