After what seemed hours, I woke to find Lily and James cleaning up Sirius in the corner. Remus had regained his form, but was still out of it. I pretended to still be unconscious. Sirius was depressed you could tell. I was laying on my bloody side, how long would it take for them to notice? Did they even know I was injured? I felt really sick. I glanced at Remus who was stirring. He was rubbing his head. It would have to be early morning by now, so the moon would be nearly gone.

He winced, as James brought him some pumpkin juice and checked his wounds.

'You gave me a fair wallop in the head.' He said, sipping from the drink.

'Everyone, but Hope, have woken.'

'Hope?' He said getting up quickly, not caring about his wounds. He fell to my side, lifting my into his arms and hugging me. Kissing me on the head. I decided I should wake.

I nuzzled my head into him, and he rubbed my head with his hand.

'I am so sorry.' He said hugging me, and I moved back from him.

He got up and left my side as I rolled over to reveal my bloody waist.

'She's bleeding!' Lily gasped, as she got a towel and took my shirt off to compress on my wound.

I winced.

Sirius hobbled over to me and sat next to me, with his hand on my stomach. I managed to move myself around so my head rested on his lap, as Lily wrapped a bandage around my waist.

'So this happens.. every full moon?' I coughed

'Yeah..'

'Remus..'

'Look, I understand ok. Everyone but James, Sirius and Peter treat me like it.'

'What?'

'I know ok.'

'You know what.'

'I don't want to talk about it.'

'I was gonna tell you, it doesn't change anything..'

'They all say that, then never talk to me. I am fine with it.. really.'

'Remus listen to me!'

'I am.'

'Well I am telling you, that what ever, I don't care if you are a werewolf or not, I love you, ok.'

'I love you too, but still, I am a werewolf and that sure as hell complicates things doesn't it!'

'You will always be my friend.' I said sharply, before wincing in pain.

'You know what..' Sirius started.

'What?'

'Nah, it's ok.. it's nothing.' He said rubbing my head.

'Sirius?'

'Mm?'

'I like you, do you know that?'

'I like you too.'

'I mean I like like you. Not as in like friend.'

'Really?' He said looking into my eyes.

I nodded and closed them, before falling asleep, becoming very pale from losing a lot of blood.
