A Werewolf's Vow
Chapter 4: Enlightened Stag and a Snippet of the Past of Monsieur Moony
"Ugh...Wha-Sirius!" Remus exclaims in a voice full of worry. It was the morning after the big fight and Remus had just woken up to see Sirius passed out and bleeding. Remus rushes over and takes out his wand, hoping his healing charms were enough to save his lover at least until he could bring him to Madame Pomfrey. Remus felt tears escaping his eyes and his wand hand trembled violently as most of the wounds healed.
The minutes seemed drawn out for Remus as he watched the cuts slowly heal, and he only stopped when Sirius woke up with a cough. "Sirius...?" Remus asks hesitantly as the male looks Remus in the eyes. Sirius' eyes looked dark and full of pain, when he noticed who he was looking at however, Remus noticed a fake 'I'm alright' look appear.
"Morning Moony," Sirius says with a hoarse voice.
Remus looked terrified as he hugs Sirius, "I'm sorry! I don't know what happened...I-I couldn't calm myself I think...I was mad as a werewolf, I just know it! I could've...I could've kill-" Remus' sentence was cut off, as it usually is now a days, by Sirius' lips on his.
The two kiss gently, then the gentle kisses turn into snogging. Sirius was still pained from the night before but he wanted Remus to think he was alright, he hated making the werewolf worry. When the two broke from the kiss, Remus moved the little bit of hair in Sirius' eyes away from them. "Why were you mad at me yesterday?" Sirius asks in a voice that was barely a whisper as he holds Remus close.
"I'm not completely s-su-"
"You're a horrible liar Remus...tell me!"
"It's really...really stupid..." Remus mutters then notices the look in Sirius' eyes. He was determined, not the kind of determined to make Remus say anything, but the kind in which he wants to fix whatever he did wrong. Remus sighs silently then continues, "but if you're going to give me that look than fine...I was mad because you were going to do something stupid as always, and I was edgy. I thought you weren't going to be able to make it...thought you'd get detention...thought...thought I might end up k-k-ki-"
"Ok, I get it Moons," Sirius smiles and kisses the other male on the top of his head, since he was burying his face. "I also heard the yells you were making...I'm sorry Remus, and I promise never to worry you or leave you, ok?"
"Don't make promises you can't keep Monsieur Padfoot."
"I plan to keep this one for a long time Monsieur Moony." With that he kisses Remus again.
The two males were so into their kissing that they barely heard the trap door open. They were only brought back to their surroundings when James spoke, "hey guys! I'm here, Pete is being a cowardly bloke and not wanting to face you two right n-" James freezes and looks at the scene in front of him. Remus and Sirius had just stopped kissing and Remus was hiding his face in Sirius' chest. Sirius' face was going steadily read and his voice came out shaky. "Why h-hello there Prongsie!"
"What...you...Moons...Pads...WHAT?" James starts to freak out.
"James...we can explai-"
"No Padfoot! Just...just let me thi-wait...this started on Valentines didn't it?"
Remus nods and Sirius says, surprisingly calmly, "yes."
"That explains SO MUCH!" James says as he starts to pace back and forth, "You sitting next to Moony instead of me. You two leaving class together and entering class together all the time...You guys pretty much eye fucking each other every day!"
"Ok, we do NOT do that!"
"That's what YOU think Padfoot!"
Despite the fact that James now knew and that he was in the middle of a heated discussion, Remus couldn't help but smile. Everything was going to be ok. Sirius wasn't hurt and they didn't have to hide their relationship from James, which was pretty freaking hard to with James being Sirius' best friend. Remus looks up at Sirius, they catch each other's eyes and both decide on the same thing that moment. As Sirius talks, Remus moves closer to him and kisses him before he can say something that would embarrass them both. James goes quiet for a few seconds from the surprise of his friends kissing so suddenly, then he starts freaking out again. When Sirius and Remus stop kissing they both end up laughing. James wraps his arms around them both from behind when they stand. The trio walks out through the tunnel, Remus held close to Sirius and James' arms wrapped around them both. Sirius only removed his arm from around Remus when they left the tunnel and walked across the courtyard.
Later that day, during dinner, an owl landed by Remus and when he didn't acknowledge it, it nipped his finger lightly. Remus flinches then looks at the owl. It as his parents'. With slightly shaky hands he unties the letter and watches the owl fly off, he would read the letter later that night.
When night approached it wasn't hard at all to open the letter unnoticed. Sirius and James were joking around and letting Peter in on Sirius' and Remus' secret. Remus silently opens his letter, after looking around, and reads it.
Dear Remus,
Your father and I are writing to say we are greatly sorry for not being able to send you anything for your birthday this year. We will be sure to make up for it next year! I know this letter is a month late, but we had no parchment on us at the time. Please be careful, it is the full moon this week!
Love Always, Mom and Dad
Remus sighs at the letter, his parents were always apologizing for not being able to send him presents. Rather it being from not being able to get to a store, or just plain not having enough money, the letters were always short and simple. Remus sighs and looks at the roof. He could barely hear Sirius laughing as his mind brings him to the day when he was young. The day he got bit. The day in which everything changed.
He was three and playing outside one night with his father. The full moon was up and his father looked worried, but tried to hide it from the little boy. Remus saw a big dog and when his father turned around he ran over to pet it. He loved dogs, they used to have one until it got maimed. "Hello Mister Fluffy!" the little Remus says happily. The dog growls and Remus takes a step back before standing his ground and shaking his finger at the dog. "Bad Fluffy! No growling, it's not nice!" The dog's fur bristles and leaps at Remus. He screams from fear and pain as the dog bites Remus' right arm.
"Remus!" his father yells and brandishes his wand. "Get away from my son, Greyback! STUPEFY!" Remus' father yells the attack and the wolf gets flown back. Remus' father keeps yelling attacks until the werewolf, Fenrir Greyback, is scared off. Remus passes out and his father brings him inside to heal him as much as possible.
But I would never of been fully healed...He knew it was useless! Remus thinks as he holds the spot he was bitten. The morning after the attack his parents gave him chocolate for breakfast. He knew something was wrong, he thought his parents were splitting up and he cries. He cries and tells his parents they can't leave each other, that they love each other. His father laughs a strained laugh and says it's nothing like that. Then they told him, just like that. Didn't even hesitate to say "the dog that bit you last night was a werewolf by the name of Fenrir Greyback." They mentioned how it would be difficult, but they would manage. Since then they would always buy Remus books and chocolate, the only two things he really wanted. Remus sighs and rummages in his chest for some parchment, he would write his parents back tonight, tell them everything was fine, that he would stay safe, and he didn't need presents. Anything to make them not worry. He hated when people worried.
