The World and Fake Wings
He was one of the few who knew Lily and her secret. He was one of the few who had figured it out and now he kept the secret. He was good at keeping promises. Remus had known her, for a long time. She was one of his first female friends, as James, Sirius, and Peter were his first male friends, and best friends at that. Moony was what they called him after he had found out. After they discovered that he was a werewolf. When she discovered, she was ecstatic. She said she was so happy to meet one and one as friendly as him. She had known before everyone else because of her psychic powers, even before James and Sirius. He had felt so alone until he had friends like them. And with her around, even Severus was bearable at times. She held everyone and everything together.
He remembered how both Severus and Sirius had planned to win her heart. They time they tried to do something the week of valentines and how she had been so red all week and neither had the courage to admit what they sent, so she had to read their minds to find out who had sent what, and it was really funny. He remembered how happy she seemed with Severus and how he only felt a little sad because she had not chosen Sirius. Remus could see however, why she had made the choice she had. She loved Severus, and Sirius didn't often see that. He remembered that one…fateful night.
He had watched her die. He watched the blood pour from her wound and she whispered her goodbyes. He remembered his tears, Lily's tears, Severus's tears, and Siruis's tear. He couldn't forget. He remembered that before he had had his small groups of friends, as animals nearby, she was there. She never transformed into anything, she never had to. She was the protector, and he never felt bad when she was around, like he had to bite or howl…much. She'd laugh with him, cry with him. Her past was the worst, and because of that, they all felt better.
He was one of the few alive now, of the group. It really, well, only Severus and he remained. So did Peter, but Peter had betrayed her, so he didn't count, not anymore… right? All he could do was watch over Harry, as everyone promised to do. That and keep her secret, the only one she kept that was dearest. The fact that she and Lily were friends.
The fact that she and Lily were cousins by blood, and Harry was a dragon to the last ounce of his being. He would have to deal with that, and Remus wished that either she or Lily were there to ease him into that transition, but they had made their sacrifices, Lily to protect her secret and Harry's life, even though Dragon blood would have protected against the death curse, as it had off of her, but not Lily of course, for Lily had chosen death, and her sacrifice for Severus. Now, he'd have to be the one to help, when the time was right, when the moment of truth was needed to show into the light.
M'lady, Protector of Forest, please, you must return to them and guide them in the next step, now, more then ever, they need you to be alive.
