Second chapter of full moon Christmas

Remus J Lupin looked up from the floor of the shrieking shack in to the eyes of madam Yates the school nurse who was smiling at him.

"Happy Christmas Remus are you feeling better" in reality Remus was sore and rather bloody but as it was Christmas and he wanted to get back In to griffondor tower with out him friends knowing he had been gone. He just smiled back at her.

"Sirius wake up you'll never guess what I just saw"

"What James?"

"It's Rem and he's coming out of that womping willow they've planted on the grounds"

"James you can't come out of a tree, go back to sleep it was probably a dream"

"It wasn't" but he had muttered to him self so his friend wouldent hear him. He went back to sleep only just missing the friend in question coming in through the portrait hole.

"I'm fine I'll just head up to the tower and happy Christmas to you as well" Remus muttered pulled him self to his feet and headed to the trap door that lead to the secret passage out of the shack where he spent his transformations. He could hear madam Yates behind him but he paid her no mind and growing more tired by the minute climbed up to griffondor tower.

"Fairy fly's" he muttered to the fat lady before clamoring in to the portrait hole and half asleep, he did not see his friends asleep on varies couches and chairs in front of the dieing fire but in stead climbed up to the boys dormitory and fell asleep almost instantly.

"Remus wake up its Christmas morning" Sirius Black was pocking Remus in the side and it hurt like hell he was pocking a large bruise Remus had got from slamming up against the door in the shrieking shack.

"Sirius stop poking me it hurts" he didn't see it because his head was bared in the pillow but Sirius gave him a weird look, he hadn't been pocking his friend all that hard.

"Guess what Rem?"

"You're never going to leave me alone as long as I live and you are going to keep poking me for the rest of my bloody life."

"No much more exiting than that."

"Oh joy can it wait a few hours I'm tired."

"No it can not wait you'll never guess in a million years."

"If I say 'what' will you let me go back to sleep?"

"Maybe."

"What?"

"We think we figured out the mystery" a feeling of dread rose in Remus' throat at these words 'there was no way he was talking about the werewolf no it was probably just some big joke'

"What mystery?"

"What do you mean what mystery? The hogwarts werewolf of course" 'crap' Remus sat up and glared at what was no doubt his ex-best friend and one of the only friends he had ever had.

"I thought I said you should leave it be and its non of your concern"

"Has that ever worked?" Remus was getting scared why wasn't he running of course Sirius was scared of him but here he was being perfectly nice like it was any other morning.

"No. But this is bigger than a prank or any thing like that"

"How so? Its just another secret to bring to the grave." Remus must have looked surprised at this because Sirius chuckled and put his arm around Remus' shoulder "you didn't think we would tell did you. You're are friend Remus the best thing in the world is friends and how else are we going to pass history of magic" Remus looked at him in amazement.

"Really, you still want to be my friend even if I am a monster"

"Even if you were a monster which your not. Yes, I would still be your friend" just than James came bounding upstairs

"There you are Sirius I was looking every were. Oh hello Remus feeling better"

"Um..." he looked at Sirius who just smiled at him "I wasn't sick last night."

"Oh I knew that. I was just making sure you weren't hurt."

"Well other than the large bruise that'll last longer than ever because some idiot decided to poke me for quarter of an hour I'm fine." laughing the three boys went down in to the common room to wake Peter up and open presents. And James was fairly sure he had kept his promise.
