Remus woke, and she was stiff. That was all. She was just stiff, like she had slept on a hard floor for a bit too long. She couldn't feel scabs being pulled apart, or smell any blood anywhere.
What had happened…oh, no. The memories came flooding back, and she remembered the creatures. The…the animals. The wolf could smell them. A Prongs, a Padfooted animal, and a small pesky thing.
And she almost killed them. All of them. Remus jumped up and ran from her spot, pulling the woolen blanket over her shoulders.
Outside James, Sirius, and Peter were all sitting on the ground, as if they were waiting of her, smiling, but she could see the tired expression on all of their faces.
"What the bloody hell did you do?" she screeched.
"Hey Remus!"
"Don't you just sit there and smile and say hello like you haven't done anything wrong, Sirius Orion Black."
His face fell, and James started snickering.
"Dude, your middle name is Orion?"
"And you, Mr. Potter." She said, "This was all your idea wasn't it? Do you guys want to die?"
"Remus," Peter said quietly, "We were just trying to help you."
"By turning into Animagi?"
"I didn't know you knew what that was."
Remus grabbed Sirius by his shirt and pulled him towards her.
"Did I bite you?"
'What-no, Moon-moon, we only played."
"You are all ignorant, inconsiderate buffoons! Wait. I did what?"
James shrugged, trying to keep his smile under control. "You didn't hurt us. All you did was play. I even learned how to throw a stick with my antlers. You really liked that."
Remus just stood there with her mouth agape. Had she really only played with them? She racked her memories. She couldn't remember feeling animosity towards any of the other animals, only companionship. She even remembered howling and the pad-footed one joined in on her song.
"Did I…did I really run around catching sticks?"
Sirius smiled. "You also smelled my butt."
"I…I what?"
Peter couldn't even keep his giggles under wrap.
"I think werewolf you has the hots for Siri."
"I still can't believe you guys did this as an apology." She said as she reluctantly gave up and smiled. James put an arm around her shoulder and squeezed.
"What did you want? Flowers and chocolate?"
"That would have been nice."
Sirius walked up in front of them and turned to face Sirius, walking backwards like he could his whole life. He whipped out a bar of chocolate and handed it to her.
"See, James? That's how you get a girl. Give her chocolate and let her smell your butt."
