What Blind Men See
Summary: When Remus loses his sight, will he finally see what his friends already do? Or will he get lost in the hate and depression?
Authors Note: Ok, so I know it has been about a week later than I told you that I would do this, but since we lost both of our games on Saturday, I was in a bad mood and did not think that you guys would like me throwing one of the characters off the astronomy tower, well besides Peter that is. Anyways, I have another tournament tomorrow, so I am trying my best around practice and all of that other stuff. The next chapter should be up around next week (hopefully), but that also depends on how the internet is acting. The stupid thing kicks me off before I even sign on, I almost broke my keyboard in frustration. Well. I still have to write this thing, and I just do that as type, so don't ask how in ends yet, I don't even know how I want to end the story, o well. I guess we will all find out in the last chapter, and no I wont know when it is coming till after I write the thing. And please give feedback.
Thank you ummm…. Kat, LT and the others I cant think of at the moment. You know who you are and thank you.
NOW on with the story!!!!!!!
Chapter 4The Pain and The Questions
Pain. It was the first thing Remus felt as he awoke to the moving sounds of his friends around him. He opened his eyes and panicked as he continued to see nothing but blackness, it took one of his friends hands on his shoulder to calm him and bring him back to reality and the horrible truth. James was the first to speak.
"How are you feelin, Rem?" his voice was cautious and worried. James knew his friend was in pain, he looked terrible. James looked his friend over again and surveyed the damage done: left leg broken in two places, right ankle and knee twisted pretty badly, deep cut all the way from his left shoulder to his lower back, he was bruised and bloody all over with a black right eye, on doubt he was in a lot of pain.
"Do you want the truth, or the obvious lie?" He asked, the pain evident in his voice.
'uh o' "Never mind then, lets just get you to the Medical Wing. Come on Sirius, grab his other arm." Both boys helped their friend with Peter leading the way with a light. Every step was torture to Remus, so his friends were mostly carrying him by the time they reached the Medical Wing, and then they heard Remus mutter something like 'home sweet home' as they saw Madam Pomfrey waiting for them inside, no one knew the boys were animagi, but they thought they always went down at day break to help their friend return to consciousness.
Remus just wanted to go back to sleep. He was so tired and in so much pain, it hurt to do anything. He gave up even keeping his eyelids open, for he could not see anything anyways, it was just a waste of energy he did not have. 'Being blind sucks. I would probably do my friends a favor by jumping off the Astronomy Tower. They probably wouldn't even notice I was gone.'
Sirius was studying his friend the entire trip from the willow, and noticed this change of mood, or lack there of. "Hey Moo- I mean Remus, when do you want to come back to the Common Room? Just have Madam Pomfrey call us and we will come and get you. Just go to sleep right now though, no offense, but you look like crap."
Sirius received two smacks on the head for that comment. "What I was just kidding!"
"I will, now you guys go before Lily wakes up. Although knowing her, she more than likely has everything figured out by now. You know how smart she is." Remus with a scared/amusing voice.
"Maybe we should just tell her. Do you really think she will abandon you and us because of what you become once a month? For cryin out loud, look at what she becomes once a month!!! Nothing is worse than that!" Everyone was laughing at this, even Madam Pomfrey was fighting against the upturn of the corners of her lips.
"Uh o James, just wait till I tell her what you said, she'll kill you." Said Sirius in his singsong voice.
"You wouldn't!"
"O I would and you know it." Sirius' evil smile had just come out, when Pomfrey came out of her trance, and started to get angry, then proceeded to kick them out of the Medical Wing.
Although a little bit happier due to his friend's antics, Remus was still saddened and depressed beyond belief. 'I just don't understand why they even bother to put up with me, when they could be like everyone else and just forget I ever existed.' With these as his final thoughts, Remus drifted off to sleep, and dreamt of his friends, and what the world looked like now, even though he couldn't see it. Just before he drifted off to what was like a paradise to Remus, a paradise where he could see, he murmured no one could hear, except for the lone figure in a stolen Invisibility Cloak, that no one knew was there, and no one knew responded. All they would hear if they tried was a faint mumble, then a voice say, "We just do"
