What Blind Men See
Disclaimer: I forgot to put this in my other chapters, put whoever thinks that I own all of the things in my stories is a little bit off. No offense to those who do. Anyways, I do not own anything, I have a grand total of about 4 dollars and 96 cents, and if I made money off of this stuff, I would obviously have more money. Well. I don't own this stuff, so are you happy? I said it. Now all of you official people leave me alone.
Summary: When Remus loses his sight, will he finally be able to see what his friends already do? Or will he give in to the hate and depression?
Authors Note: Ok, late or early, here it is, Chapter 5. Please keep in mind that I have softball and school and cheerleading and motorcycle riding to work around, I barley have time to sleep. The next chapter should be along sometime soon, don't ask when I just know sometime soon. So here it is. Please review, it only takes about a minute.
Chapter 5You boys will be the death of Me!!!
"Madam Pomfrey said that Remus will be in the Medical Wing until Wednesday, [A/N: Its Monday morning]. She also told us to stay out until then because he needs his sleep of some crap like that. Remus said that we could tell Lily, so maybe when he is in the Medical Wing is the best time to tell her, maybe after we talk to Lily, we will have to go there too." It was easy to tell that James was a little afraid of telling Lily, she will probably be mad at all of them for not telling her, but she would not leave them or anything like that, but she does have a temper.
Sirius saw the expressions on his friends face and started to laugh. "Prongs ol' buddie, don't worry about it. Worst comes to worst, she will be mad at us for a week or so. Lil's may have a temper—"
"May???" questioned James.
"—does have a temper," Sirius quickly corrected. "but she is reasonable. How do you think that she puts up with us and you especially?"
"Well what do you know? I think you may actually be right for once." James walked a little quicker to get to the Common Room, certainly not expecting what he was about to get. Sirius stayed a few paces behind with a small smile on his face. 'Those two are sure something together. I would both love and hate to be one of their future kids. Love it because of all of the wonderful pranks and all of that fn stuff, and then I would hate it because after all of those wonderful pranks, I would have to face Lily, like James is probably about to.' With that final thought, Sirius smiled a little more and tried to catch up to his friend.

'I am going to be mean about this. If they are up to it that is. They probably had a ruff night. Oh well, I will just take it as it goes.' Lily Evans was sitting in the Gryffondor Common Room. She had been sitting in front of the fire since 5:30 am. It was now 6:37, and everyone was either asleep, or in their showers, for no one had their first class until 9:00. She had decided when she woke up that morning, that she was going to wait for them to come into the room, then tell them that she knew. She was still talking to herself when James, Sirius, and a very sleepy Peter walked in mumbling something about going to sleep, as he went up the boys staircase. James and Sirius sat on either side of her.
"Why are you up so early Lil's?" James asked as he put an arm around her shoulders.
"Oh, just woke up early. The real question is why Hogwarts most popular and good-looking guys, especially when one of them does have a girlfriend I might add, are strolling into the Common Room at 6:40 in the morning? That would be a real good question to have answered." Lily could see the fear in their eyes as she asked this question. She also felt James' arm around her tense up. 'Their not afraid of telling me, their afraid that I won't believe them. This is kind of fun.' Lily began to fight back an evil grin.
"Lily, we have something kinda important that we should tell you." James began very testily.
"If it includes you and a certain Ravenclaw, don't even bother saying it, I will just kick your ass here and now and save you the the breath your going to need." Lily's voice was full of false anger, but the boys were already so scared, they did not detect the falseness. 'This is going to be fun. No wonder they like it so much.' Lily thought, yes even she has a dark side to her.
"James, is there something you're not even telling me buddie?" Sirius' voice was mixed with everything from fear to amusement.
"What?!?!?!?! Wait a minute. That was not my fault in the first place! SHE pinned ME against the wall. I thought you believed me the first time I told you that!!" By now, James was terrified.
"Oh at the time I did, but when your gone all night, only to return tired the next morning, it does tend to make one suspicious." 'So I am a little off the subject, I am having fun.'
"Lily, it's not like that at all! Last night had nothing to do with her or any other girl." James sounded so desperate, that Lily had to end his misery…a little.
"Does that mean that your becoming a switch-hitter in this game now? Or am I getting mixed signals?" At this point, Sirius was on the ground laughing uncontrollably. Lily was still able to hold in her laughter, but could not hold back a smile. James saw this and grinned, then all three of them laughed their heads off for a couple more minutes.
"You know that is one of the things I love about you. Your able to throw even me out of whack." James and Lily were still laughing a little, and Sirius was still on the floor. James lightly kissed Lily on her forehead, then smiled down at her, then lightly kissed her lips, and a kiss that she gladly returned.
After a few more minutes, everyone had calmed down a bit, and a few people had been seen stumbling down the stairs and out of the Common Room.
"You guys are trying to tell me what I already know about Remus, aren't you? Lily asked a little hesitantly.
"You know already?" Sirius asked and Lily nodded. "We should have known."
"Yes, you should have. Now are you going to tell me the rest, or do you just not want admit it at the moment to me?" Lily questioned. Surprised looks appeared on both of their faces, followed by guilty looks.
"Lily, look, all of us are sorry for not telling you sooner. Its not like we could not trust you, we were just afraid to. Its nothing personal, we were going to tell you eventually, right now actually, but you apparently figured it out before we could tell you. You always were cleaver." James said all of this, with both Lily and Sirius' eyes on him.
"Exactly James is right. We should have known that you were smart enough to figure all of this out." Added Sirius.
"Will you guys stop trying to make yourselves all sorry and pitiful and all of that crap. I am not mad at you but I am getting there. You have also tried to get me to forget my own question. It's not going to work." Lily scolded the two.
"Lily, I know that I am wasting my breath telling you that you cant tell anyone what I am about to tell you, which is what you probably already know, but here it is. Remus is a werewolf and Sirius, Peter, and myself became amangi to be with him during the full moon. Sirius is this cool-looking huge black dog, Peter is this funny little rat, and I am a stag. That's where our names came from." James paused for a moment. "Lil, are you mad at me for keeping this from you?"
Lily stared James right into his eyes as she said this, "A little. You could and should have told me. I understand why you didn't and I don't even want to try and figure it out, but the truth is that you should have told me."
"We know and were sorry," Sirius said, trying to save his friend a little from his girlfriend's wrath. It was usually fun watching the two of them argue, but this time it was serious.
"I am mad, but I understand," Lily said after a few moments of silence. "But it is also hard to stay mad at you boys for very long, so I forgive you. But if you ever think about keeping something from me again be warned, I will make the entire Slytherin House look like angles with what I will do to you."
James and Sirius exchanged a fearful glance. That was a warning alright. Lily gave each a kiss on the cheek, then said, "Hows Remus?"
"He's pretty banged up, but he should be alright with Madam Pomfrey looking after him." James said as Lily rested her head on his shoulder, and he rested his head on hers, Sirius left to go to their dormitory, to sleep a little before classes, and James and Lily did the same, only together in the Common Room.
