First I have an announcement. I GOT A LEAD IN THE SCHOOL PLAY!! We're doing Into The Woods and Im Little Red Riding Hood. Im sooo excited. Has anyone seen the play? Cuz i LOVE it. :-)

For anyone whos ever seen the recorded version of the play, did you notice the wolf's costume is anatomically correct??? owOW!

It was getting late and still there was no sign that Remus was improving. James had left some time ago, leaving Sirius alone with the sleeping boy. Sirius had paced around his quarters for a while. He had attempted to read The Daily Prophit (More news of him being most eligable batcholor, honestly, these people needed some new stories...) he ate dinner in his rooms. He hadnt left Remus' side. Twinkle had done a lovely job of keeping the family away from his rooms so they wouldnt find the broken boy in his bed, and he was quite thankful for that. She was a good elf.

It was nearing midnight when Sirius decided it was best he got some sleep. He sat on the edge of his bed and layed his hand on Remus' cheek. Still cold as ice. Carefully he stood again and undressed, down to his boxers, and climbed into bed. He pulled Remus' unconcious form closer to himelf to warm the boy with his bodyheat. He felt Remus snuggle closer to him.

"Remus?''

Remus made a noise and shivered.

"Remus?" Sirius said again, this time bringing his hand up to stroke Remus' pale cheek. Remus' gold eyes cracked open and he made another noise.

"Remus, can you talk to me? Please say something, my love.''

Remus' eyes widened "S-Sirius? Oh no...no...where am I? Why are you--'' Remus was in a panic. He tried to sit up but Sirius firmly help him down. "Don't try to move.''

"Please...you don't understand...I...I can't...you...you know now. You must hate me for lying to you. Please just let me leave and you'll never have to see me again. I'll go far away and you can just forget about me. Please, I have to go! I-"

"Shh..." Sirius hushed him gently. "Calm down...I never said I wanted you to leave.''

"What?" Remus looked up at him, eyes shining with tears.

"I don't want you to go anywhere, love...Especially not in this condition.'' He sighed. "So...It's true then...you are a werewolf.''

Remus looked away from him. "I should have told you...''

"It's your own buisness.''

"You had the right to know what you were getting into.''

"I can understand why you wouldnt want to tell me.''

"You cant understand.'' Remus said quietly. "No one can understand."

Sirius nodded "No...I suppose you're right...''

Remus made a sort of strangled noise.

"Remus, I am not upset with you.''

"You should be.'' Remus was ashamed of himself. "You probably don't want to be with me anymore...''

"I still wish to be with you, Remus. Werewolf or not. I love you.''

Remus looked up at him with those shining eyes. "You do?"

"Yes.''

"I love you too...''

Sirius smiled and leaned in, kissing his wolf's lips, still stroking his cheek. When they parted, Remus shivered. "You're still cold?" Sirius asked, concerned.

Remus nodded. Sirius sat up and got the soup from the nightstand. It had a heating charm placed on it hours ago. "Here. Eat.''

Remus slowly sat up, but he was in a lot of pain. Sirius let him lean against him for support and when Remus could no longer hold the bowl up with his weak arms, Sirius took it and fed the smaller boy like a child. Remus had blushed and insisted he could do it on his own at first, but soon gave in and leaned against Sirius as he was fed.

Afterwards, Sirius had Twinkle draw a hot bath in his private bathroom. The bathroom was large enough that he could stay in the room while Remus bathed, and yet still give him the privacy he needed.

The bath both cleaned and warmed Remus and when he got out, Sirius helped dry him with a warm clean white towel and dressed him in the smallest pair of pajamas he owned, which were still too big on Remus.

By now it was passed 2 in the morning. Sirius brought Remus back to bed and helped him get settled. "Tomorrow we'll have you checked over to make sure you're not injured bladly. We'll have someone look over some of those scars too.''

Remus nodded sleepily. "Sirius...thank you so much...for everything you've done for me...''

"You dont need to thank me.''

Remus smiled "I know...'' and he quickly fell asleep.
