A/N: During the third Harry Potter book and after the fourth season for BtVS and 'thoughts'

Remus growled lightly at the sight of the moon through the window of his office. He hated the three nights that he had to take that damned potion and just stay curled up on his chair. The potion may allow him to suppress the wolf instincts and stay conscious but he still felt like running around the school grounds. 'Sod it.' Remus thought.

Remus had specifically picked this office because it had a secret passage that led outside that didn't need a wand or spell to open it. Remus pressed his paw against the lever and quickly went through the passage. Remus pressed another lever and he was outside near Hagrid's cottage. 'As long as I stay relatively near here, anyone who sees me will think I'm Fang.' Remus gave a mental smile.

Remus bounded about in a circle, happy to be able to stretch his legs. He stopped suddenly as he smelled something human but not. Remus breathed in deep, it smelled like a boy with the forest and earth magic wrapped around the smell. Remus's eyes narrowed as a some what short but muscular boy with blue hair walked towards him.

Remus whimpered softly unsure of what to do. The boy did smell of magic, but it was not wizard magic. The boy walked confidently towards Remus and stopped about five feet from him.

The boy closed his eyes and inhaled deeply through his noise. As he opened his eyes he gave a slight smirk, "Werewolf?"

Remus took a few steps back and gave another whimper. 'I should have just stayed inside, why did I go outside?' Remus moaned in his mind.

The boy raised an eyebrow, "Want company?"

Remus tilted his head the boy in confusion. Then slowly he nodded his head and sat down on his haunches, waiting for the boy to do the same.

Instead the boy took off his black tee-shirt and ripped jeans. Then slowly and carefully, the boy began to take off the beads that were wrapped around his wrists and neck. He put his clothes and beads beside a nearby bush. As he started walking back towards Remus, his body started to flow into a different shape.

Remus cringed as he realized the boy was transforming into a wolf, the same way that he done a million times before. 'The boy's a werewolf.' Remus thought astonished.

The young werewolf slunk up to Remus and rubbed his cheek against Remus's, before he jumped and tackled Remus playfully. Remus gave a bark of laughter, as he realized what the young werewolf was doing. Remus nipped him back and began to chase him. As Remus ran past him, the young werewolf gave a small howl of outrage and they began to race each other. Finally tired out, the two laid down by the lake just resting and enjoying each other's company.

Remus was lost in thought when he felt the young werewolf nudge him. He gave a whimper and looked up at the sky which was slowly getting lighter. Remus got to his feet with a yawn. The other werewolf started to head back towards his clothes, but Remus stepped in front of him and whined. Then he nudged the young werewolf towards the castle. The young werewolf gave what sounded like a sigh but followed Remus to the castle.

Once they were back inside Remus's office, they settle down next to each other on the floor. Remus quickly fell asleep.

-------------------------------------------

When Remus woke up, he sat up looking for the young boy who he spent last night with. Then he looked at the spot where the young werewolf had rested last night, in his place was a piece of paper. There was a phone number on it and beneath that was simply Oz.
