Chapter Five
"Come in boys". At the sound of Dumbledore's voice, Sirius and James walked slowly into his office. "I understand that you discovered that young Mr. Lupin is indeed a werewolf?" They nodded. " I also understand that you confronted him about it?" Again they nodded.
"Yes sir, we told him that we knew that he was a werewolf and then he laughed." Sirius said. "He laughed and said that he couldn't believe that we thought he was a werewolf. So we just laughed too and then we went to sleep. When I woke up, he was gone and he had left a note." Sirius finished and looked down at the ground again.
"I see," Dumbledore said slowly. "And do you have this note?" Sirius shook his head but James nodded a third time and said
"Yes sir, I do."
"Well, can I have it?" James, who was starting to resemble a bobble head, nodded yet again and gave the slip of paper to the Headmaster. Dumbledore scanned the piece of paper and then set it down. "What do you think boys?" He asked.
"Why would he leave?" Sirius yelled. "I mean, why would we hate him? Just because he's a werewolf doesn't mean we will automatically hate him. I mean, he's our friend!"
"I'm afraid, Mr. Black," Dumbledore cut in. "That a lot of people would hate him 'just because he's a werewolf.'"
"Well...yeah...but Remus is different! He should have known that we wouldn't hate him because of that!"
"Are you finished Mr. Black?" Dumbledore asked, eyes sparkling.
"Yeah, I am." Sirius said, then slumped down in his chair.
"What do you think Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore had turned to James, who was still vaguely nodding.
"Um, I think that Sirius is right, Remus should have known that we couldn't hate him just because he gets a little touchy at the full moon. But I understand why he left. Not everybody is accepting of werewolves, especially pureblood families, and the Blacks and Potters are some of the purest. He probably thought that we would come after him with silver if he admitted it. But what I don't know is where he would run away to."
"Ah, that we have an idea of." Dumbledore said.
"Where? Where?" Sirius cried.
"The Forbidden Forest." Dumbledore replied gravely.
"The Forbidden Forest? Why? That thing must be 100 Kilometers wide! Nobody would ever...find...him. Oh. Sirius trailed off as realization dawned on him. "
"Exactly. Dumbledore said. Unfortunately, the first part is what the centaurs consider their territory. They will not take kindly to a werewolf in their area, even if he is a child. He might be killed."
Poor Remmy! Don't worry though, he wont die. Cuz i love him too much! Anyway, in case you haven't noticed, Sirius is very...sonserned about his little friend. If i can wangle (haha! wangle! isnt that a great word?) it, then it may just be a sort of prelude to a slash story. But i dunno, it might not. So keep reading! and REVIEW!
