Remus Lupin - Monster

It was the early morning, but you were already wide awake. After ten minutes staring at the ceiling, you decided that you could better use this time to finish your Transfiguration homework. So you hopped out of bed and got dressed, then you walked to the Gryffindor commonroom and sank down in one of the big, soft chairs with your books. "Come on! If we hurry no one will be there yet.", you heard someone whisper. You looked up and saw four of your best friends hurrying into the room. With a smile you looked at them, waiting for them to notice you. The four boys froze when they saw you looking at them. Remus Lupin, looked like he had been up all night fighting something. A long narrow cut ran over his face and blood dripped out of it. "(Y/N), hey.", Sirius Black said nervous, "How much did you hear?" You ignored him completely and stood up out of your chair. "Remus, are you okay? What happened? You need to go to Madam Pomfrey. It needs to be cleaned." You grabbed his arm and wanted to take him to the Hospital Wing, but James Potter blocked your way out. "I'm afraid you can't do that." You opened your mouth to say something, but closed it again. Why in Godric's name wouldn't they help their friend? "Why not!? He needs help!" "He just can't go there." "Give me one good reason! You all act like he is some kind of monster you're hiding." They glanced at each other. "What? Guys, you better tell me the truth right now!" Your patience didn't last forever. Remus sighed and gestured you should sit down. You had been best friends since forever and he realised he couldn't hide this from you. "Moony! You're not going to tell her, are you?", James said worried. "I have to Prongs. She's been my best friend for as long as I can remember. She deserves to know the truth." "I can't watch this.", Sirius said and he walked to the dormitories. Peter and James followed him, leaving you and Remus alone. "You can tell me anything, Remus. You know that right.", you said after a long silence. "Yes, I know. But I also know that after I told you this, we'll never be the same." "Try me." "Okay, (Y/N). I'm a werewolf." He closed his eyes and waited for your reaction. When you didn't respond he openend his eyes again and looked at you. "So?", you said, "I don't care. You're my best friend. I love you no matter what." "But, I'm a monster." "A werewolf, yes. A monster? Not so much. You're the sweetest guy ever!" "So you're not afraid of me? Or hate me?" "No you silly! I could never hate you! You're my best friend!" "Really?", he asked insecure. "Yes, really.", you reassured him and you kissed him on his cheeck. "You're still the same Remus." Remus smiled. "Oh, are you sure?" "Of course I am sure, silly." "Okay." There was a silence and you studied his scarred face. "But seriously Remi, you need to get someone look at that." "I'm okay. It'll heal faster." You laughed and shook your head. "Thank you." "For what?" "For not thinking I'm a monster. Not being afraid of me." "Remi, you've been my best friend since forever. I could never be afraid of you. I love you." "Y-you... you do?" He asked blushing lightly. "I do." You said and you kissed him softly.
