Word Two: Agitated.

Agitated: Excited; Disturbed.


Remus paced the living room quickly. Back and forth. Over and over.

Two hours until full moon.

Dora would be home in one.

There would be plenty of time to get in the basement, and take his Wolfsbane.

Wolfsbane. Severus hadn't dropped it off ye-

There was a knock at the door, and Remus jumped at the sudden noise. Relaxing fast, though, he all but ran to the door and pulled it open as it creaked in protest.

"Remus," Severus greeted him, holding out the glass bottle. "Your potion."

"Thank you, Severus," he replied quickly, taking the glass.

"All set, then, Lupin?" Severus asked, eyeing up the door to the basement that was ajar.

"Yes, just waiting for Tonks," Remus stated, downing the potion.

He handed the glass back to Severus as the Potions Master smiled coolly.

"I won't keep you any longer, then. Good luck tonight, wolf."

With that he left, and Remus took a seat on the couch, waiting for Tonks. He continued counting off the minutes- seconds until he would change into a beast.

He couldn't help it; the Agitation he felt before a full moon. By the time Tonks came home, he didn't even feel remorse for all but dragging her to the basement to lock him in, and blowing off her wants to be close to him for as long as he had as a human.

He just couldn't help it; it happened every month: the torture; the worry.

"I love you, Remus," he heard her breath through the hole in the door.

And like every full moon, he surrendered to the moonlight.

He ignored her.


Author's Note: I wanted this to be fast paced; with a lot of pauses. I wanted to clearly show the agitation in a different way of writing. I hope you all enjoyed it

Blessings,

Sarah.
