AN: Sorry for the delay in updates! Real life interfered. Now, back to Hogwarts!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter, that's the fabulous JK Rowling.
That's when it started to happen...
My transformation was coming...fast. I had to get to the hospital wing.
"I don't feel so good," I told Sirius. I stood up to leave. The professor just nodded when I pointed my thumb at the door. She continued with the lesson as I sprinted down the corridors to get the the hospital wing before my transformation went any further. I can't have Sirius know, otherwise I would have a serious problem.
Two days after the full moon:
I slowly opened my eyes to behold Sirius looking down at his hands which were on his lap.
"How're you feeling mate?" He asked numbly when he glanced up at me.
"Awful," I replied. My throat was so dry though that I doubt that Sirius understood what I had said. He rushed to grab a glass and fill it with water for me My heart warmed at his eagerness to help me. I grinned and downed the glass in one swig.
"I know about your...illness," Sirius said slowly.
I put the empty glass on the table beside my hospital bed.
"And I assure you, I'm going to find a way to make it better for you. Easier, if I can!" Sirius finished his promise with a choked sob. I leaned over to hug him but he almost jumped on me. He wrapped me up in his gangly arms and I felt so...loved.
When we went to the Gryffindor common room later that night, I was greeted by James and a rather portly boy who I remembered being in our class.
"How're are you feeling Remus?" James asked nervously. He looked almost scared of me.
"I'm feeling a lot better thanks!" I replied grinning at him. He smiled back and then went over to tease a pretty, red haired girl. His friend stayed behind.
"I'm Peter," the portly boy squeaked.
"Nice to-" I started, but before I could finish he had already scurried off to hang out with James.
I smiled at Sirius and he grinned at me like the fool he was. We then went to sit in the plush burgundy chairs by the roaring fire.
AN: I know it's shorter than last time but I hope ya'll still liked it!
