ifixedthebifrost Thanks for your review lovely! :)

sinner. vs. saint It feels unreal that you like my stories! I'm like your biggest fan x) But yeah, thanks! Your review was awesome!

Light streamed through the cracked windows and dust was swirling around the old room. It was an early Saturday morning. It was remarkably quiet and it was very calm, given how wild and painful the night had been here for Remus.

Remus opened his eyes slowly, gazing up at nothing in particular and tried to get used to the light. He took a deeper breath but stopped himself when a sharp pain in his chest and lungs shot through him. The breath became shaky and unsteady instead and he closed his eyes tiredly.

At least he wasn't lying in pool of blood this time. The worst thing was to wake up to the taste and smell of his own blood and almost choke on it. Remus was always afraid that it might not even be his own, even if it was very unlikely.

After a while he felt that he was strong enough to sit up. He moved his arms and stretched his back carefully. It wasn't that bad this time. He brought his clothes from the locked drawer and put them on with some difficulty. His transformation made his whole body sore and fragile and he got terrible stiff after lying on the floor for so long.

Even if Remus had gone through this every month since the age of six and was used to the routine, he still pitied himself. He just wanted someone to take care of him while he sat in bed, reading and eating chocolate. Madam Pomfrey did a good job, but he missed his mum in times like this. Remus didn't even bother to wish for a boyfriend. How wonderful it would be to have someone who constantly cared for him and hugged him when he felt like this...

Remus gave the room a last look to check that he hadn't forgotten anything. If there was blood on the floor, he usually cast a cleaning spell over the room, in case any brave students dared to enter the house. But it looked clean this time, so he unlocked the door and stepped out of the room.

"So this is where you're going every month."

Remus spun around so quickly his head start spinning again and his bruised legs gave away. He clumsily landed on the floor and groaned at the pain in his back. Sirius Black looked down at him, not making any move at all to help him from where he stood behind the door.

"Wha...what are you doing here?" gasped Remus, breathing hard.

"That was wicked!" said Black with a grin, ignoring the question. "I saw you. You're a freaking werewolf!"

Remus' heart sunk immediately. He had hoped that Black had just got here, that he didn't know about his secret.

"How did you get here?" asked Remus from the floor, as he struggled to get up.

"I followed you last night," said Black and shrugged. He still looked amazed, as if this was the best thing that could have happened. "Do you realise how cool this is?!"

The panic finally hit Remus. Black knows my biggest secret. The only thing I was supposed to keep to myself. This was not good. If Black told all of his friends in Slytherin, which he surely would, Remus would be expelled and he would never get a job and his life would be destroyed. Not that it was very good now, but at least he had some kind of future.

Remus finally got up from the floor, a mix of anger and fear building up inside him. He felt tears tingle in his eyes and desperately tried to ignore the pain.

"You...you can't tell anyone," he said slowly between gritted teeth. He didn't appear very threatening though because tears were now falling down his cheeks.

"But think of all the fun we can have with this!" Black grinned.

"No! You can't tell anyone!" he insisted. He knew that Black was teasing him. He loved to see the desperate look on Remus. He was asking a lot of Black, who didn't have any reason at all to listen to him.

"Please..." Remus whimpered pathetically. He didn't know what else to do and he had almost given up, prepared to leave Hogwarts tonight, when he heard Black sigh.

"Fine! I won't tell," said Black. "But you own me one."

Remus looked up at him, his mouth hanging open in relief. He watched Black pass him without another word and disappear in to the tunnel. He was constantly surprising Remus.

Once in the Hospital Wing, Remus fell down on the bed that Madam Pomfrey was guiding him to. He was exhausted and he was so worried about Black knowing what he was. He had never told anyone before, except for Dumbledore who'd made the teachers aware of it. But the last thing he wanted was the Slytherins to know. They had powerful parents with high positions in the Ministry who could easily get him expelled. The only thing he could do now was trust Black, which was hard since they were enemies.

Remus fell asleep and slept through the whole day. He preferred the full moon to be on the weekend; that meant he wouldn't miss any of his classes. However, his weekend was ruined since he had to stay in bed, but that didn't matter much to him. He never did anything special on the weekends. Just reading and taking walks around the big grounds.

On Sunday he felt healthy enough to go down to breakfast. Madam Pomfrey had fussed over him for a long time before finally letting him leave, with the promise that he had to come back if he felt bad. This weekend they had permission to visit Hogsmeade. He really wanted to go today to buy more chocolate and visit the book shop. But he didn't say this to her.

On his way to the Great Hall he glanced nervously over his shoulder, prepared to hear someone yell "werewolf" and point at him. But nothing of that kind happened and he took a seat at the Gryffindor table without so much of an acknowledgement he was there.

He tried to eat a bit but he had real trouble swallowing. After his transformations he always felt a bit ill. He'd rather eat something smooth, like chocolate. And the loud noises from clattering plates and cups mixed with the chatter from all students made is head ache so he left his half-eaten food and headed towards his dorm to get changed for Hogsmeade.

This chapter is a bit thin and not very descriptive. But I really tried! I'm not a 100% satisfied with it.

Anyway, next one will be up soon ^^
