Back in the hospital wing, Maddie had returned and so had everyone else. They were all standing around a bed with Remus laying on it. Remus was still motionless and white but I could see his chest rise and fall so I could tell he was breathing, which was an extremely good sign.
"How is he?" I asked nervously.
"Better." Maddie replied. I could tell she had been crying, there were still tearstains on her cheeks.
"Maddie, how do you know him?"
"Okay, you're not going to believe me but, he's my father."
Stunned for a few minutes I didn't reply. How could he be Maddie' s father? Remus had always been like a father to me. They hardly look alike! Wait, I can't be jealous can I? Even though my dad did die and Remus has always been exceptionally kind to me does that give me the permission to think he would marry my mom? I just don't know.
"Are you serious?" I asked finally.
Maddie just nodded, "He left when I was little and my mom died shortly after. My mother's best friend decided it was right for her to become my step-mother. She's always been so good to me, I wonder what she's going to say. Do you have any idea where my dad has been for all those twelve years?"
As I was about to answer, it was like a light bulb went on in my head. Remus had been bitten by a werewolf exactly twelve years ago. A werewolf bit turns the victim into a werewolf himself and there is no proven treatment yet. However, there is a potion that Remus takes every full moon to stop him from becoming a wolf. If he forgets, though, he will transform. Since I was still jealous of Maddie, I decided not to tell her just yet. Maybe Remus could explain it himself, when he is well.
"No, I don't." I said. Feeling as though Maddie could tell I was untruthful, I looked away.
"I do hope he gets better, I don't know what I would do if I lost him again and this time forever." Maddie said forlornly.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short! I didn't have a lot of ideas so I just wrote what I had in my mind! Plus, it was mostly just a filler. Hope you liked it, please review!
