Thank You:
Previous Chapter:
The moon came quicker than Remus wanted. It rose into the sky beautifully, to others who saw it that night, but a burden to all who shared his condition.
Remus was chained down with muggle devices, and charms were placed upon him as well. Sirius promised to stay with him, and this he did.
The moon rose, and what was a fragile, young man transformed into a screeching monster.
Chapter 10: Monsters and Fantastic YouRemus felt the light of the moon pierce his skin, though he wasn't directly in view of its icy glow. His body, which was fragile, and light- pale, and petite, became larger and filled with muscles. His face, which was a boy's transformed into a beasts. Hairy, and filled with galling agony.
Remus was a boy only moments ago, and in seconds became a murderous creature of the night.
Sirius stood in the doorway of his lover's bedroom, watching him become a monster. A fantastic beast he never thought to be true to the world. His friend, his companion, his lover was before him, with a vacant stare, filled with anger for being contained. Remus' arms were chained to his bedposts, his legs as well.
He now possessed the face of a wolf- like creature- though his eyes still remained to have childlike qualities. Sirius felt that he could go to him, comfort him somehow, forgetting everything he had recently been told of a werewolves natural desires.
The Lupin's held him back. Mrs. Lupin began to rub Sirius arms, with her soft hands, watching her son in absolute anguish.
"That's awful." Sirius said.
"Yes, dear it is. He will have to undergo this transformation every month."
"I can't believe he doesn't recognize us." Sirius said, more to himself than the Lupin's.
"He cannot."
Remus, the wolf watched his parents and boyfriend, with fierce eyes. His body writhed and twisted like a serpents. He tried with all his strength to push himself off the bed, but to no luck.
"He will get stronger over time. For now, he will be content on just those chains and a few simple spells." Mrs. Lupin said.
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked, in wonder.
"Well, he's still very young. The first transformation is always the weakest. As he grows in age and in physical aspects, so will his strength. In a year or two he will need to be held back with much more force, more than we alone can offer." Mr. Lupin stated.
"And Hogwarts will actually accept him, as he is?"
"Yes, like we said before, it's not so uncommon for werewolves to go to school as well, it's just frowned upon because it is so incredibly rare."
The next morning, Sirius awoke with a light peck on the cheek by Remus.
"Rem?" Sirius said, sleepy, and sprawled on the Lupin's couch.
"Hi."
Remus was covered in scars, from rubbing his skin into the chains all night. His eyes were drained of their usual life, and violet bags of drowsy feelings, lie below his eyes.
"Rem, you look like death. Go back to bed. You need sleep."
Remus smiled, and crawled into Sirius arms, as he remained on the couch.
"Much better." Remus said, and the two boys fell into a pleasant slumber.
In the late afternoon, both boys awoke together, Sirius a few minutes before Remus. Sirius inhaled the lovely scent of his Rem.
Sirius began to hum a folk song and his deep, yet young man voice was the first sound Remus heard when he awoke.
"Sirius?"
"Hmmm?"
"Morning." Remus felt wonderful. Still drained, but his transformation wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. It was just a drag, and now it was over. He had a month until the next transformation took place, and life was to precious and adventure- filled to worry of such things.
"Morning Rem. Sleep well?"
"In your arms, yes."
"Up already? It's only 3:30 in the afternoon!" Mrs. Lupin replied.
Both boys looked up, to the back of the couch and saw her bright face smirking down. Sirius was still holding onto Remus, his arms around his thin waist.
"Good afternoon mum." Remus replied, smiling deeply.
"I know you have experienced much in the last 24 hours, but tis time to get up! Up!" She screeched, jokingly.
"Yes, mum." Remus broke away from the thrilling Sirius and stood, stretching and yawning.
"Lunch is nearly ready. Wash up you two." Mrs. Lupin said, and left her son and friend alone together in the guest/ living room area.
The boys made their way into the dining room after a few moments of warm hugs. Mr. Lupin was sipping lemonade, while reading the paper from the day before.
"What's for lunch?"
"Roast beef sandwiches." Mrs. Lupin replied proudly.
After the family ate a delicious meal, which was rightly needed Remus walked Sirius home.
"Sirius, I'm sorry I've been so awful to you lately."
Sirius smiled, and rubbed his larger hand over Remus' cheeks.
"Don't think on it Rem." Sirius kissed his partners forehead.
"An sorry I... bit you." Remus blushed deeply and bowed his head into Sirius chest.
"Rem?"
Remus looked up and saw and felt tender warmth radiating from Sirius.
"I liked it. And whatever troubles we have we can get through it."
Sirius and Remus parted in front of Sirius' grand house. Remus didn't wish to leave Sirius. And Sirius didn't wish to leave Remus. After a few soft kisses, they parted.
Sirius entered his home and came face to face with a man who smelt like death. A man who was dressed entirely in black. A man whose eyes showed murder. A man who Sirius had never seen or dreamed to meet this close to ever again. Sirius' back tingled and he felt lightheaded. He cringed and wanted to run away but he couldn't. The man would not allow it.
A/N: Thank you so much- reviewers. I am very grateful for your thoughts. This story I admit, is strange- to say the least. I'm finding it, (especially now) to be very difficult to continue. I don't want to write just "because" I want to write and posts things I like. So, please bear with me. I will post as soon as I can.
Thank you again.
