Hi, sorry I haven't updated in so long, I had to practice for NYSSMA (violin), and I had a lot of homework! And I might not be able to update till Friday, cuz the NYS ELA test for me is tomorrow and Thursday! Stupid tests, New York doesn't like me!
"Okay, here goes," Sirius said, sighing. "The truth is, Remus is a-"
"Clubber, he gets real wild, sometimes he turns bi!" Bill said, bursting out in laughter.
Mum looked at Dad as if she saw the bloody Ghost of Christmas Past. Dad turned pink.
"I was just kidding! He's not bi, don't worry, he's perfectly straight!" Bill said. Mum let out of sigh of relief.
"Merlin Bill, you got me!" Mum laughed.
"I swear you'll be the death of me Weasley," Dad muttered under his breath.
Clearly, Mum had forgotten all about Dad's secret. I sat on the table, right in front of Sirius and waved my hand in his face.
"Teddy, what if Tonks believed Daddy?" Victoire asked seriously. Then we burst out laughing. I fell onto the floor, rolling back and forth, while Victoire collapsed against the wall.
"Merlin, now that would've been complicated!" I said, finally composing myself. We both sat on the edge of the counter, our legs practically touching. We pretended not to notice. We focused our attention back on Mum and Dad.
"Now, what's the secret?" Mum said in between sips of Firewhiskey.
"What secret?" Sirius asked as nonchalantly as possible.
"You know what I'm talking about!" Mum snapped, slamming her glass on the table. It came precariously close to shattering.
"We can't tell you Nymphadora, not yet," Dad said.
"C'mon, I trust you, and I just met you!" Mum fumed.
"I'm sorry," he said, his voice ready to break. I looked out the window, and the full moon was up. I gasped, knocking down the bottle of wine with my sudden movement. It shattered, and everyone looked at the ground in shock. Victoire and I backed up to the window. But that wasn't important. It was the full moon.
"That was strange," Bill exclaimed. Sirius looked out the window too. His eyes grew wide and he looked at Dad, who looked downright scared.
Mum sat in her seat, thinking. Suddenly, Dad doubled over in pain, one hand clutching the other, because his right hand was beginning to elongate.
"Remus, what's happening?" Mum asked frantically. He squeezed his eyes shut and turned away.
"He's transforming. Bill, apparate him to the Shrieking Shack!" Sirius commanded. Dad and Bill were gone instantly.
"How could he possibly forget that tonight was the full moon?" Victoire asked. I shrugged, unable to answer myself.
"What's going on with him?" Mum demanded.
"He's a werewolf," Sirius said slowly. Mum gasped, and her hands flew up to her mouth.
"That's awful!" Mum whispered, looking like she was about to cry.
"I know," said Sirius sadly. "I know."
Victoire and I woke up the next morning, just as the sun lit the kitchen. We had fallen asleep on the floor, our shoulders rubbing the whole night.
Mum and Sirius, both in a hangover, stumbled into the kitchen for some hangover remedy, which was sitting on the table. Bill had probably made it.
"Sleep good?" I asked Victoire. She nodded as she stretched.
"Good morning to everyone, including the ghosts who broke my wine bottle!" Sirius shouted, his words slurring a bit. Victoire snorted.
"Merlin Sirius, way to wake up everyone in 12 Grimmauld Place!" Bill yawned as he sat down at the table.
"Get out of here, you filthy half-breed! You're polluting the air that my pure fathers have breathed! How dare you, how dare you, you ugly, pathetic excuse of a wizard, you piece of dirt!" Walburga Black screamed from the entrance.
"Shut up!" my dad's voice echoed off the walls. Mum looked up, waiting for Dad to come walking in any minute.
He walked in, his clothes shabbier than usual, his hair ruffled, and a couple new scars across his face. I was crestfallen. And this is every month for him, I thought sadly.
"Remus!" Mum ran up and hugged him.
"Good morning," he said politely, and braved a smile, though it was weak.
"What happened to you?" she asked softly, tracing a new scar across his cheek gently with her finger.
"Nothing, just the same as usual," he replied, pain in his eyes.
"As usual?" Mum's eyes glittered. Dad pulled Mum's arms off him lightly, and he sat down. He laid his head on the table as Sirius handed him a cup of coffee.
"You okay, mate?" Sirius asked. Dad groaned his response, his hands patting the table in search of his coffee cup. He wrapped his long fingers around it when he found it. Mum and Bill watched Dad worriedly.
"When's Harry coming?" Bill asked, trying to make the mood lighter.
"Couple o' days," Sirius said, as he watched his best friend sip the coffee as though it pained him. It pained me to see him like this. This was the price Mum and I both paid.
Okay, so Harry's gonna be coming, along with Ron and Hermione next chapter! Please review!
