Remus woke with a scream and with tears in his green -amber eyes and falling down his face. This is when the Potter's came into the room. "Remus?" Ben asked as he sat on Remus's bed. Remus did not seem to notice that they were in the room. At this point, James and Sirius walked in as well. Only Sirius knew what was going on, but he did not say anything as he walked in the room slowly. Remus let out a sigh, but he still did not say anything as he looked at Sirius who nodded slowly. Remus let out a breath again and said:
"I'm okay," Remus lied but Ben did not by this. Remus sighed and looked at Sirius and then at James who had no idea what was going on with his new brother. Remus sighed once again as more tears formed in his eyes. Sirius let out a sigh and walked over to Remus's bed where he wrapped him in his arms.
"Was it about your parents?" Sirius said in a low whisper. Remus let out a sob that filled the room breaking everyone's hearts.
"I want to kill him!" Remus called in between his sobs that still filled the room. "It's his fault I'm like this. No! It's fathers fault! If he did not get that…that monster mad, then…...then…..." Remus trailed off as he started to cry in Sirius's arms. At this point, James got into the hug as well. The adults in the room left the room leaving James and Sirius to take care of this.
After Remus's nightmare, he stayed away for his brother's all morning. He hates how they had to see him like that: weak and not the strong boy that his parents wanted him to be. It wasn't until after lunch when Sirius and James walked into Remus's room. They found him on his bed reading. However, when they walked into the room Remus did not look up from his book. "Remus?" Sirius questioned when he walked over to his werewolf brother. However, Remus did not look at Sirius when he said this, nor did he look at James when he sat on the bed.
"Why have you been up here all day? Was it… it that nightmare?" James asked as he sat on the bed as well. Remus let out a breath, but he did not say anything. "Remus tell us, please. Who do you want to kill?" James asked looking at the book in Remus's hands. Remus put the book down. His brothers did not expect what they saw: amber eyes, not his warm green but amber. There were tear stains on his face and more tears forming in his eyes.
"Greyback," Remus said with a sigh. "That werewolf, that monster killed my family, bit me. I think he tried to take me as well. I don't remember that part. This is all his fault. You don't know what it's like Black!" Remus snapped even though he did not mean too. Sirius sighed and nodded.
"Your right Rem. I don't, but I don't think you can take him on. Your eleven and don't know magic yet," Remus sighed but he did not say anything. James let out a breath and sighed as well.
"We are sorry Remus," Remus smiled but he shook his head as he looked to the window. Then he looked back at Sirius and said:
"I never got a chance to say good-bye. My mum said that she'll be right there. How…..." Remus trailed off as tears fell out of his amber eyes. Sirius sighed and hugged Remus just like in the morning. James did the same thing.
They sat there for a while until Remus wiped the tears from his eyes. "Thank you, guys," Remus said with a smile as they pulled apart.
"Your welcome Rem. Why don't we go downstairs and run around," Sirius said with a smile. Remus and James smiled back.
"We can play some tag," James and Sirius looked at Remus with confused looks on their faces. The young werewolf laughed at his brother's faces. "It's a muggle game. You run around while someone chases you," Remus told them as he got off the bed and walked to the door. Sirius and James smiled and both nod.
"That sounds like fun," James said with a laugh. Remus smiled when he did not talk about bringing his broom into this game. Sirius smiled and only nodded as he ran out the door. James and then Remus followed his brothers out the door.
It was late at night now, everyone was asleep, all but Remus. He could not bring himself to go through this nightmare again, seeing that night that made his life even worse. How can his life be worse than it already his? Remus sighed as he looked at the ceiling of his room which was dark, telling his new found family that he was asleep but really, he was not. Little did he know, that Sirius was not asleep either. Remus sighed and walked over to the door, where he left it to go downstairs., He did not know that he will find Sirius in the living room looking into the dark fireplace. Remus let out a breath when he walked into the living room. He almost jumped when he saw Sirius sitting down in front of him. "Sirius. Can't sleep?" Remus asked even though he kind of knew the answer. Sirius sighed and nodded but he did not say anything as he looks at the werewolf. "I'm sorry about earlier. I did not mean to snap at you and James. I don't really like to show people myself when I let the wolf free," Sirius nodded with a sigh, but he did not say anything as he looked at the fireplace.
"I think we should get some sleep. I know that we might not want to but…." Remus nodded as he looked outside and sighed.
"There is something that I should tell you first," Remus said. Sirius looked at him with his warm gray eyes. Remus let out a breath before he answered. "I'm afraid of the moon. I don't want to hurt you or…... or James or this kind family that took us in. what if…. what if I do hurt you? I don't think I can live with myself if I do," Sirius sighed but he nodded anyway. Sirius looked at Remus studying him. He looked tired and his green eyes were back not the dark amber ones. Sirius realized that those only come up when Remus lets the wolf free or he's mad. Sirius nodded and sighed again before he said:
"It's ok to be scared of something Rem. I don't think you will hurt anyone. I think we should really get to bed before someone wakes up and yells at us," Remus nodded but he could see the fear in his eyes and hear it in his voice.
'What did they do to you Sirius?' Remus thought as he walked back to his room with Sirius close behind him.
