Broken Wings
It was like watching an angel without its wings. Sirius hated every moment of the full moon; he hated it when Remus went away, the cries and shrieks that came from the Shrieking Shack and the rumours that had begun at the school that ghosts lived there.
The worst part, however… the absolute most devastating, horrendous part of the full moon was when Remus came back. He was so dejected, so tired and so pale he wasn't himself anymore. He would come back into the Gryffindor common room and go straight to bed without a word.
Sirius wanted to do something for him – anything – but he just couldn't. He couldn't go with him on those nights, but it was torture waiting for him to return.
There was only one solution Sirius had, but it would be near impossible – and the others would need to be on board. But he needed to try something.
"Remus!" he stood at the dormitory door, watching his the boy woke from his deep sleep.
"Sirius?"
Sirius approached his bed, sitting down and touching Remus' hand.
"Remus, next time I am coming with you!"
"Sirius –"
"No, it's happening next time. I'm going to be with you when you transform, but I'm not going to be me. I mean, I will, but I won't."
Remus frowned in confusion and Sirius grinned.
"Remus, by the next full moon I – and the other two – will be with you. We just won't be there as people. Next time I will be there, and I will be a dog."
There was nothing better than seeing a smile form on his friend's face and light return to his eyes. That angelic face and those broken wings were slowly being repaired.
