- FULL MOON

Sana's pov

"Ah you shouldn't have." Remus smiled, "But thank you, this is extremely sweet." He pulled Sirius in for a hug, then gave one to Dora, and kissed me. 

"We just wanted to make you feel better about the full moon tonight." I enthused. He flashed me a genuine smile and hugged me tightly, except I didn't let go. 

Remus could sense my worry, this was my first time experiencing him actually turning. even though he's told me lots about how he's used to it, I was still nervous. 

"There's no need to worry darling, I'll be alright. You know that right?" He whispered, I flashed him a smile, "I can't help it Remus." I mumbled. 

He took my hand in his and walked us over to the sofa where Tonks and Sirius were sitting. "I want her to come." Remus suggested. Sirius had a face of worry, but it did relieve me to know that I'd be there if anything happened. 

"Please Sirius, let her come. I can't leave her here all worried, plus its safer if she comes with us." 

"Fine, but only because of the Death Eater juju going on." Sirius turned to face me, "Bring a blanket, a sleeping bag and LOTS of food."

"Why food?" 

"Because I'm a hungry lad, jeez" 

I let go of Remus' hand, "Wonderful, I'm gonna go get my stuff ready." 

"I'll go with you." Remus followed me up the stairs. 

I sat on our bed, simply staring off into space. He sat down next to me, pulling my head towards his chest. "Sana I'm gonna take my wolfsbane potion, I'll be fully aware of what I'm doing and I'm not going to get hurt. No one's going to get hurt." 

"How can you be so sure?" I mumbled, now wrapping both my arms around his neck and burying my face into his chest.

"Do you trust me?" 

"Of course I do." 

"Then you know I'll be alright. Plus you'll be there with me, won't you? I love you." He comforted, and that's what he did best. Remus finds a way to comfort me in the hardest situations. 

Some might say I'm exaggerating, but picture your boyfriend turning into a werewolf in front of you. Sirius himself told me it wasn't a pretty sight to see, and I can't even imagine the pain Remus goes through when he turns. 

"I think you need some rest. I'll get your stuff for you." He moved stray strands of hair off my face and pulled the covers over my body. "Wait don't go, stay a bit more. Please?"  I gripped his arm. 

"As long as you need."

"I think we're all ready." Sirius took the role of making sure everything is in order. I think its quite cute how he's so protective of Remus, I could tell they mean a lot to each other. 

"Oh god where's the wolf." Sirius stressed, me and Dora giggled to one another. "Moony hurry up you're the one turning, not us!" He yelled. 

Remus walked in the room with a potion and a backpack. "I'm here, jeez." 

"Me and Sirius will wait outside, right?" Dora nudged Sirius' arm. "What? Oh, oh yeah we will wait outside." They ran out the door, bickering about this and that. 

"Are you ready?" I put on a smile, trying to make him feel as good as possible. "Mhm, are you?" He cupped my chin, "I'm ready." I kissed him softly, to which he returned instantly. 

We met Sirius and Tonks outside. I climbed on Remus' broom, Sirius & Dora took their own broom. 

I never realised how pretty flying at sunset is. The wind brush against my face as I held onto Remus' waist for dear life. I've never felt so alive.

We were flying pretty damn far. "How far are we?" I yelled, the wind was extremely loud. "Very, but we're nearly there." He yelled back. 

Me and Remus landed first, Sirius right after, and Dora got lost so she landed ten minutes after all of us. 

We were at a simple hill, the woods weren't very far. Tonks set up a huge tent, but not one of the magic ones, an ordinary tent. "Seriously Nymphadora? We're wizards and this is the best you can come up with?" Sirius groaned. 

Tonks ignored his question, "Well get comfortable because this is where we're staying all night long." I laughed and placed my sleeping bag next to her. 

Remus took his potion, it smelled pretty disgusting but he swallowed it in a heartbeat. I didn't know what would happen next, so I took a seat next to Tonks inside the tent and rested my head on her shoulder.

"Do you want me to close the tent?" She offered. "No, I want to watch." 

"Okay, hold onto my hand if you need to. You know he usually just goes into the woods, or at least he did. It'll be okay." 

The moon started to rise, I chose to ignore all the fear inside me and hope for the best. 

With one glance at the moon it began. His bones cracked, his body twitched. Screams of pain was all he could let out, Sirius hurried next to us. Now I understand why they do this in such a deserted place. 

All of his body features replaced themselves with a wolf's body, his voice became distorted. Remus howled at the moon loudly, which startled me. He took one last glimpse at us and scurried towards the forest. 

"Lets get some rest. We have to go find him in the morning." Dora closed the tent and covered us with a big blanket. "What do you mean?" I was confused. 

"Don't stress it Sana, he's usually sleeping in the forest." Sirius muttered. I nodded. 

I tried my bets to fall asleep but I couldn't concentrate on anything but the ruffling and loud noises inside the woods, I knew he was safe out there but I couldn't help but worry. Eventually though, I did fall asleep

***

"Morning." Sirius handed me a cup of what looked like coffee. "Good morning, where's Tonks?" I asked. "Oh she's already went to search for him. I was waiting for you to wake up, come on lets go." 

I scurried through the woods, merlin these branches were twats. I probably had one thousand splinters by now. 

Where the hell are you supposed to find a sleeping werewolf in a huge forest. Yelling wouldn't be effective, as he's asleep. 

To my surprise I found him bare naked sleeping on the middle of the floor. "Remus, oh god." I noticed the scratches all over his body, his left leg had a small cut in it. 

But he looked fine, he was sleeping soundly. I wrapped a blanket around his body. His eyes fluttered open, I smiled at him. 

"Sana." He looked thrilled to see me, and so was I. He pulled me down to his level, "you're forgetting we're in the middle of the woods and you're injured." I chuckled. 

"So?" He started, "Stay here a bit. They're slow anyway." He smiled. 

I wrapped the blanket around both of our bodies. It wasn't the least bit comfortable, but it was peaceful.
