"Tonks. I'm so sorry, so sorry.." Remus whispered, stroking my hair. What? What happened? I frowned as he touched my sides, and yelped when that brought a huge surge of pain. Tears formed in my eyes, caused by the surge of fire that had shot up my body. Looking down, what I saw could have definitely made the tears overflow and flood the room. My sides were bandaged, along with my leg, and arms. The white looked terrible- it was stained with splotches of red. Blood. My blood. Well, that explains why I'm in Mungo's. Why was Remus sorry, though?
"Dora. Please. Listen to me, but hear me out-"
"No way, Lupin!" Snapped a familiar voice I knew so well. The form of my mother rushed in, pulling me away from Remus with force. Eh?
"You've hurt my daughter, and you're going to bloody well pay," Andromeda snarled, wrapping her arms around me, replacing Remus's. I cried out in pain, causing her to cease her grip. It wasnt really the fact she was hugging me tightly. I wanted Remus's arms around me, not hers. Wriggling, I turned and stared my mother straight in the face.
"Okay, I need to know what happened to me," I said assertively, looking towards Remus. The question was intended for him, but my mother answered.
"You rushed round to his house, fully unaware of the full moon. You went upstairs, and Remus pounced on you in his wolf form. You were hurt, and left till the morning." Remus turned back as the moon sunk, and brought you here."
At my mothers words, I groaned and slid down under the bed sheets, pulling the covers over me until only my violet hair could be seen. So I'm a bloody werewolf now? Great. Not that I have anything against werewolves, but, you know. Not exactly number one on that Johnny Depp's dinner list. Wink wink. I heard a quiet groan from my right- quieter than it would normally be, muffled by the bed covers. Remus, again..
"Dora, listen. I didnt... Well... bite you" Remus murmured, seemingly struggling to choke the words out. Hell, was he crying? I stuck my head around the sheet, staring at him, taking his appearance in. Matted hair, cardigan. I love those cardigans. They smell comforting. Remus notcied me looking, and smiled lightly. He knew about my fixation with his cardigans. Wait- what had he said? He didnt bite me? Thank Merlin for that. I grinned and winked at him, turning to my mother and frowning.
"So, Mother, how long am I in here for?" I ask a hint of my old curiosity in my tone. I hate hospitals. Always have done.
"Not long, sweetheart. A day or so, you may be out soon" Andromeda comforted, patting my head and standing up to leave. She did, leaving me alone with Remus. Great.
