Remus Age 15
Remus John lupin dumbledore had been feeling awful for the past week now most normal teenagers would pop some ibuprofen and call it a day but that didn't exactly work for remus why well first off he was a wizard and second he was a werewolf so most medicines don't help him even magic medicine like potions sometimes did not work on him . now imagine you have a bunch of annoying loud friends who never seem to shut up and a migraine that feels debilitating . in short it sucks but thankfully for him it only occurs once a month but someone really hated him this month because for some reason his brother had isolated himself after being a dunce to their best friends lily and now his friends were mad well only one friend really sirius black remus had already reminded him twice today that while severus was out of line he was still his brother but this just seemed to tick sirius off more the two still seemed on edge when remus had to leave to transform before the full moon his mother had led him out to the shrieking shack and told him the usual and to expect madam pomfrey to check over him the next morning and that would be fine if that had been all to his night but of course nothing could just be simple for remus .
Sirius had been fuming how could Remus side with those snakes with the enemy! he was heading out from the library when he saw severus and had an idea he had tricked the slytherin into thinking evans wanted to speak with him just out by the whomping willow but when severus arrived he had let remus out from the shack thinking he wouldn't hurt his own brother maybe just scare him . as he walked back to the common room he bumped into james telling him what he had just done sirius black was shocked into stillness when james smacked him " you idiot just because Evans and severus are fighting doesn't mean you get involved now severus life is in danger ."
"Come on prongs it's not like he would hurt his own brother "
James started running he had to get to someone fast the headmaster , mcgonagall anyone
"Come on James it's a prank " James stopped in front of the headmaster's door "IT'S not funny if someone dies Remus can't control the wolf you arse !"
The door opened and dumbledore stood there looking down at the two
" ah potter ,mr black how can I help you two this evening ?"
"Headmaster you have to do something, '' Severus got a fake message from Lily while someone let Remus out and now the wolf is going after him. Last I saw he was running towards Hogsmeade village !"
"WHAT!I head there right away thank you boys . "
James led Sirius back to their dorm room "you had better hope Severus can outrun Remus otherwise you'll be in deep trouble. Sirius, what made you think this was okay ?"
" Because - because families suck okay james snivellus is no better than my family every summer all they do is spout off the same shit snivellus and his broad have been saying were the only family moony needs don't you see that prongs , you , me and wormtail that's all he needs."
Oh siri severus is lost right now and while remus is one of our best friend he needs his mom and dad , AND his brother yes you me and peter are close with remus but the headmaster and professor raised him and you know severus wont get away with spewing that blood purity nonsense especially not with professor mcgonagall around ."
" I suppose your right prongs oh God what have I dont im gonna get expelled for this ."
"Doubt it remus might plead your case after he beats you bloody plus dumbledore while intimidating at the best of times is a kind man and its not like he doesn't know about your family so I doubt he would expel you you probably just have detention until you graduate.'' Sirius groaned . it was late when professor mcgonagle came into the common room seeing the two boys still sting she called out to them "mr Potter , Mr black the headmaster would like to see both of you now !' her tone very clipped as she turned back and walked away they followed as she led them out from the common room and back to the headmasters office . where the headmaster was sitting . " hello boys lemon drop "
"No thank you headmaster " James said on both their behalf .
"Sir I don't mean to Intrude but is Severus alright ?" James asked, hoping to Merlin he was .
"Severus is fine my boy I was able to reach him in time and apparate close to hogwarts so he would be safe sadly the wolf ran into the forest so madame pomfrey and myself are going to retrieve remus in the morning hopefully he can take care of himself my concern though is that severus told me he received an anonymous note saying miss evans wanted to speak with him I wish I knew who set up this plan since I almost lost both of my sons to it .
"It was me headmaster, '' Sirius said as his head bowed hoping he wouldn't be sent home .
"Im sorry after hearing the things severus had been saying it reminded me too much of my family I think in my head the lines got blurred and I was trying to take out my anger on my family onto Severus and that wasn't right , I fully intend on apologizing sir I just never meant to hurt anyone . '' Sirius had some tears going down his face now as the headmaster stared at him "thank you for your honesty mr. black what you did tonight was very severe and if it had not been for James I dare not think what would have happened . so until further notice you are on severe restriction you will go to classes , go back to your dorm where you will report to professor mcgonagall and then you will serve detention every night and over the weekend you will spend all day in a classroom doing work for whatever professor needs you I need not tell you your hogsmeade trips have been revoked until further notice correct . "
" Yes sir, thank you sir for not expelling me ."
"Off to bed with the two of you then ." the two boys left and dumbledore sagged in his chair rubbing his forehead "these boys would be the death of him he was just thankful severus was alright and mr. black had seemed repentant . The next morning they had found Remus not too far out in the forest in a clearing and had brought him back to the hospital wing where he had to stay for the next three days . remus had been mad at sirius after he got out of the hospital wing but the next saturday severus had come up to their group during lunch and apologized to lily and sirius and even his brother saying that his dad had set him straight and he didn't want to become like his friends especially since the road they were going down was dark and rarely ended happily , after that the muradures were not necessarily friends with severus but they did manage to hang out time and again sometimes even ending up in spots of trouble but at least they all had a better understanding of each other .
