You Have... The Werewolf (Harry Potter Fanfic)

"I can't believe that you let Remus go after her. He's only going to upset her more." Molly told Sirius, who was attempting to eat his dinner in peace. Even though Sirius and Molly knew everyone was listening in on their conversations, but everyone pretended that they weren't listening in on them. Sirius sighed as he shook his head. 

"I can't tell Remus what he needs to do. I'm not his father. Remus is just looking after Hermione. After the incident with him accidentally bitting Hermione, I feel like he is watching over her because he feels it may be making up for what he did to her." Sirius attempted to explain what's with Remus. To be truthful, Sirius didn't exactly know why Remus is doing it, but Sirius figure Remus felt bad for biting Hermione. He remembered the times of how Remus would rant on about how upset he was for what Fenrir did to him. Sirius believed Remus felt like Hermione probably hated him for what he did to her. Before Sirius could say something, the front door opened then slammed shut. Everyone listened as in came storming Remus, who flung his coat down before he sat down. 

"Welcome back, sunshine," Sirius mumbled. 

"Don't even start." Remus shot at him. Everyone almost jumped out of their seats with Remus's sudden outburst. 

"What is going on with you? Where's Hermione?" Molly asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Remus turned as he kept his glare right on him. 

"She's with Fenrir and Scabior! That's where!" Remus shouted. Everyone gasped as they began to mumble about what they were going to do or we have to say her or how did she even get into their grasp. 

"That's awful! We got to go rescue her!" Molly stated to him. Remus chuckled, a bit mockingly. 

"Oh, yeah... and that's the worst part." Remus growled, "I've been challenged to a damn Courtship Ritual!" 

"What?" everyone shouted. Remus rolled his eyes. 

"The Courtship Ritual is a trial of three tasks to prove one is worthy of being one's mate. I'm going to have to become her mate in order to keep Fenrir and Scabior from being mated with Hermione." Remus hissed while shaking his head, "This is awful! I'm about to get married to Tonks and now I have to get hitched with Hermione." 

"Maybe Tonks will understand. Maybe once you get Hermione you two can break up with her so you can go back to Tonks." Sirius suggested to him. Remus groaned. 

"Sirius, once you're mated, you're mated." Remus claimed to him, shaking his head. 

"What are you going to do?" Molly asked. 

"I think I need to break it off with Tonks since I'll be hitched to Hermione for the end of time." Remus stated to them all. Molly shook her head as she lightly pressed her hands on Remus's shoulders. 

"Don't jump to anything yet. We can figure something out to deal with this entire thing." Molly assured him before returning to the kitchen. Remus shook his head. 

"I doubt it. My first task starts tomorrow." Remus stated, standing up from his seat and headed towards his room trying to figure out what he was going to do after this entire thing.
