08. A Secret Told

A/N : you're welcome ;)

Y/N walked to the Gryffindor common room and found Sirius, James, and Peter sitting anxiously on the couch. She noticed something: Remus wasn't there.

"Have you seen Remus?" she asked.

The three of them shared glances between each other —not the typical glance they'd share.

"Uh is there something wrong? because if there is, can anyone tell me?" she questioned, trying to keep herself calm.

"Tell her Prongs!"
"You tell her"
"Wormtail?"
"Fine okay"

"Tell me what?"

"You can keep a secret right?" Sirius asked.

"Of course I can," she said simply.

"Promise not to tell anyone," James said a stern look on his face.

"I promise," Y/N breathed.

"It's about Moony," James sighed, looking down at the floor.

"What about him?" Y/N started to panic.

"It's not my secret to tell but you could ask him tomorrow," said James.

Y/N nodded and look over to the window where the moon shined bright. Her heart sank when she heard a painful howl, "That's him, isn't it?"

"How-?" Sirius asked wide eyed. James seemed to be surprised too.

"I just- add things up together," she shrugged. "He's out there alone and hurting himself," Y/N whispered, "Can we do something about it?" she turned around to face her friends.

"Well, me, Wormtail, and Prongs are unregistered animagis, but we had to leave because Professor McGonagal saw me and Prongs." he sighed sadly, his eyes shows annoyance, "We usually go with him though," Sirius said.

"I want to become one too!" said Y/N.

James and Sirius started to smile. "Remus would be delighted if he knew," Sirius smirked "You could start your 'treatment' tomorrow if you want. I couldn't remember the exact steps but you can search it in the library."

"Of course! I would," Y/N agreed in no time. She's happy she can finally do something for him —Remus.

Over those months, she realized that she does fancy him. Y/N doesn't remember when she started to but she knew the feelings are there.

"Yes! We have another one to help his furry little problem," Sirius cheered; Y/N smiled at them, happy that Remus got such wonderful friends that will do anything for him.

The next day, the first thing she did when she woke is running to the hospital wing. It was 6 in the morning, the corridors were still dark but she didn't care.

Y/N opened the door to find Remus in the bed. By the sound of the large door opening; he woke up.

"Remus!" Y/N sighed and ran to his bed.

"Y/N! what are you doing this early?"

"Listen here Moony-"

"You've never called me 'Moony' before," he grinned and saw her face reddened.

"Okay, fine, Remus. Listen, I want to know how you're feeling- I mean you're in the hospital wing and I worry so much about you since yesterday in the library, you looked sick and pale," Y/N said all in one breath.

"Y/N," he started, but his eyes started to tear up "I- I understand if you'd want to stay away from me now. I guess I can't keep this secret any longer from you, I'm a werewolf."

"What are you talking about?" Y/N said as she squeezed his hands making his heart jumped. "I'm never going to stop being your friend just because as Sirius said 'furry little problem'."

Remus looked down sadly at their intertwined hands, "I'm a monster."

Y/N furrowed her brows. "That's not true. You are the boy that told me you talk to animals," she grinned sheepishly but turned serious in a second. "You're really aren't. You are such an amazing friend and I will be friends with you forever."

Remus felt a tear slid down his face. He didn't know whether his heart is being touched by her words or her saying that they'll be friends forever —nothing more.

Y/N wiped his tears gently. "Y/N I- thank you," he hugged her as if the world was going to end, he rested his chin on her shoulder, after a lunar cycle —he really needed a hug.

"No need to say that," Y/N whispered softly.

He pulled away and realized that their faces were so close to each other. Remus' eyes flickered down to her lips briefly before looking up again, she realized this and her heartbeat raced faster, "May I?" he asked for permission beforehand.

She said an inaudible 'yes', and with their hearts beating loudly against their chests; their lips met.

It was the most wonderful feeling ever. Her soft lips against his felt like a warm blanket on a freezing night. Their hearts blooming like a field of flowers.

The terror in the nightfall yesterday seemed to disappear from his mind as for it was replaced with her —Y/N.

Then something interrupted their amazing moment,

The door was opened revealing James and Sirius with their jaw basically on the floor.

Y/N quickly pull apart, feeling her face go hot. Lily came bursting in, a confused look on her face.

"Are my eyes deceiving me or did I just saw my best mate and my other best mate snogging?" Sirius said with his signature smirk; James beside him still had his mouth agape.

"Your eyes are deceiving you," Y/N said, while hiding her flushed face in her palms. She was no doubt —smiling, Remus saw her smile beneath her hands and felt happy about himself.

"PADFOOT THEY DID IT!" James yelled.

"THEY REALLY DID!" Sirius yelled back, jumping up and down.

Y/N rolled her eyes at their dramatic reaction though her heart is still fluttering from the mere thought of their kiss.
