Chapter 10
One month in March, the full moon fell on a Monday (Violet's day off). She immediately suggested that she go to the Shrieking Shack with Remus, so he wouldn't have to be alone. He readily agreed. He hated being alone.
They sat in a dilapidated room; Remus curled up at Violet's feet on a dusty four-poster bed. Violet started off trying to read Paradise Lost out loud, but after a few hours, her voice was outrageously sore, so she tossed the book aside.
"Sorry, Remus" She murmured very softly. "I can't stay up quite" And with that she fell asleep.
Remus (in wolf form of course) cocked his head, confused, as he had not been able to hear her. He rose and cautiously walked over to where she lay, nudging her head. But she was out, and he lay down again, deciding to get some rest.
And, of course, that's how they woke up (both fully human).
"Good morning" Remus greeted her. Their faces were almost touching, and late morning light streamed through the murky windows.
"Good morning" She returned, smiling, but still half asleep.
Remus suddenly had the urge to do what he'd been longing to for months on end now. He leaned his face in further . . .
But Violet jerked away and stood up. He sat up, sadly wondering if she was thinking about the person she said she still dreamt about.
"I need to get back to the inn" She excused herself "I must smell filthy"
Remus thought she smelled fine, but now probably wasn't the time to tell her so.
"I'll be right behind you" He said instead, trying not to let the disappointment show on his face.
When she apparated out, he wondered if, as much as he hated it (like any sane person), if he would always have to be alone.
A/N Sorry this chapter was pretty short. I just wanted to make sure something happened between December and June. Thus, a chapter on March. Anyhow, thanks for all the reviews, and I'm elated people seem to like my story.
