Woes of the Moon:
What to say, what to say? Haven't really had the time to be writing lately... I was up in Ottawa for Turkey Day :P. Anyways, here's the chapter finally:
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the other characters that you recognize and I am not making any money off this so....feh!
Pre-Transformational Worries:
Lily lay awake that night in her four-poster bed.
'Less than 24 hours 'till the full moon...And my first transformation...'
She shifted around as she waited for sleep to take her.
It didn't though.
Not for another five hours.
Lily awoke suddenly form a very vivid dream.
In the dream she had been transformed and was attacking some human... The human had brown hair and was about her age... The human looked like Kate...
Lily sobbed into her pillow.
'I don't want this! What if something bad happens? What if I lose control like Remus did?'
"I have to see him..." she said quietly.
She got up from her bed without making any noise so as not to wake Jane and Beth (Kate had asked to be changed rooms). She pulled on a robe, exited the dormitory and began climbing down the stairs without being noticed.
' I'll wait for him in the common room... He's bound to wake up early tomorrow...'
Squeeek!
The stair she had just stepped on had creaked.
"Who's there?" came the voice of a boy from the common room, only steps below.
"Remus?" Lily asked, recognizing the voice.
"Hi, Lily. Couldn't sleep either?" he asked.
As Lily entered the common room, she saw Remus sitting on a sofa in from of the fireplace.
"No... Keep having nightmares..."
"Yeah, I still get them too; that's why I'm here."
He gestured for her to come sit next to him.
"You want to talk about it?" he asked as she sat down next to him.
"...It's just that I'm worried that I'll lose control and hurt someone-"
"Like I did..." he finished for her, sadly.
"Well...You know I don't blame you or anything; I know what you're going through must be horrible... But it's hard to believe that I could actually kill someone and not be able to do anything about it...
"It wouldn't be you killing them; it'd be the wolf inside of you. Try not to think about it... I we follow the rules Dumbledore has set for us we should be fine..."
There was a silence.
"The night I attacked you, I wasn't where I was supposed to be. You see Dumbledore arranged it so that I stay inside that house near Hogsmeade... But we left the house and went exploring... When we ran into you, the wolf just took over..."
"We?" she asked.
"Oh... Me, James, Peter and Sirius. You remember that dog and the stag that pinned me down?"
She searched her mind, trying to remember... She was in so much of a panic that everything was just a blur, but... Oh yes! The rat, the stag and the black dog that had helped her!
"Oh! I thought that was strange at the time, but I just forgot about it. I was panicking so much that nothing really seemed important to me at the time..."
"Well, anyways... Peter, Sirius and James are all unregistered animagi... When they found out about me being a werewolf, they didn't try to leave me; they tried to help me."
"You choose good friends..."
"Well actually, our little posy used to have another member... You remember how Enn Gagnon used to hang around with us sometimes? He found out and wasn't so kind..." he told her.
'Enn Gagnon...'
"You mean the boy who used to be in our classes who got to graduate last year?"
"The very same."
There was another silence.
Remus glanced at his watch. Lily saw that it read 1:12.
"I'm gonna go and try and get some sleep; we still have to go to classes tomorrow, you know," he said, getting up.
"Yeah, me too I guess..."
He held out his hand. She took it and he helped her get up.
"Thanks," she said, giggling a little.
"No problem," he said, smiling.
He walked Lily to the base of the staircase leading to the girls' dormitories.
"Hey, thanks for comforting me, Remus. You're really great..."
"We comforted each other,"
"Well, goodnight, then,"
Remus hesitated a bit, before gently pulling Lily closer to him and softly kissing her on the cheek.
"Goodnight, Lily."
Lily smiled and began to climb the stairs to her room.
A little bit of a spark up there? Anyways, for you people who were looking for a James and Lily thing, you didn't read the summary of this story. ITS A REMUS AND LILY STORY (that message was directed at you, Pari :P)
Also I'd like to especially thank Fatal and Michael for bring so supportive in their reviews! :D
Anyways, press that little purple button down there and let me know what you think! No haters!
