Tonight had been the night of the full moon, Remus' worst of days had been around this time. The morning after he would spend his time having Nurse Pomfrey attend to his wounds from the night before. His three friends, James, Peter, and Sirius accompanied him as Animagi down in the Shrieking Shack for the painful transformation. They never wanted him to be alone during this time, he didn't deserve it.
Remus woke up with a hunger in his stomach, during the full moon he was more hungry than usual. Looking around he noticed that only Peter had been up, appeared to be writing down something into a log. Possibly homework for Divination, that class had always been loads of bollocks the day they stepped in there. "'Morning Wormtail, have a nice sleep I hope?" Ah Wormtail, each of the four Maurader's had secret nicknames correlating to their Animagus. For Peter, he turned into a sickly brown rat, therefore he is Wormtail. Moony had been a fitting name for Remus seeing as he is a werewolf. Sirius Black, the ginormous black dog, good old Padfoot. Now James Potter, he had been a beautiful stag which they had named Prongs.
"Not in the slightest, Moony. Divination been keeping me up all night. It's completely bonkers I tell you." Peter looked extremely stressed over his homework. Remus turned over to look at the time on his clock, seeing it was only 6:00 A.M. The Great Hall didn't start to serve breakfast until another hour from now. What to do in that time? Remus thought he might take a shower then get dressed, that should pass the time quick. Yeah, that's the plan.
Chatter formed in the Maurader's dormitory as Remus lathered up in the shower. Maybe the other boys had started to wake up? Minutes later, Remus hopped out of the shower, tying a white tool loosely around his waist. A scar had fit itself down Remus' torso and along his thigh, a memory of a very rough night indeed. Remus had been far too out of control and had to hurt himself from being a danger to anyone else, his own claw dragging down along his body. He winced at the sight of it. Thankfully the mirror had been fully steamed up so he wouldn't have to face it today.
When walking out of the bathroom, few things changed between that short time of him showering. Sirius and James had woken up and got dressed, their beds still messy. Of course that's what the house elves were for. "Morning Moony! You ready for some breakfast? If we make it in time we might just help ourselves to being first!" James' big hazel eyes glinted at the thought of all the food at the Gryffindor table. Remus gave a short laugh, moving along to the side of his bed to grab clothing. His senses heightened, feeling eyes sexualize his body. He blushed a soft salmon color as he turned to meet the pair of wonderfully black eyes only belonging to one Sirius Black. Now it is true that the two have taken quite an interest to each other but of course, they'd both been too shy to say anything to the other. After all, this was 1975 and the idea of two men shagging hadn't been very noted. But the four boys had never had a problem with it, the thought came up in a heated argument with Snivellus Snape as James liked to call him. The boys were all so very close, once on the train to Hogwarts, Sirius had been in much discomfort after the summer with his abusive family that he decided to curl up into Remus' lap as he had softly stroked the black mass of hair as a way to comfort him. Of course Snape had to pass by their compartment at that very moment and mutter awful names to them. Which then led to James casting 'Slugulus Eructo' at Snape, making very clear where he stood on that ground.
Sirius quickly turned away after being caught, resuming pulling up his trainers. It couldn't help Remus smile lightly as he got dressed. The very idea of Sirius sneaking a peek at him dressing made his stomach curl. But it had been in a good way. A very impatient James Potter pulled the three down into the Great Hall, barely letting Sirius pull his jacket on. Before the boys very eyes had been rows and rows of biscuits, and bangers, leaving Peter in a dazed look. Being around food was Peters happy place nowadays. But everyone had more to love of little Peter Pettigrew. Peter and James dove into the food straight away, Remus had been more proper in his approach, slowly walking over next to them and sitting down in a spot across from James, next to Peter. Sirius didn't really care or notice how he walked, sitting next to his best pal James and clapping him on the back. "What's today Prongs?"
"Fwul, mun..." He stuffed his face so far with food that he couldn't talk. Sirius got the idea of what he had been saying though. He exchanged a glance with Remus, sighing lightly. Every teacher that had known about his "furry little problem" -as James referred to it- had pitied him. Remus had enough pity over the years, he was getting annoyed of it at this point. "Well then, I guess we have a night to look forward to." Sirius was unenthusiastic with his response. No one liked to see what happens to Remus on the night of a full moon.

The time had come for James, Peter, and Sirius to sneak Remus across the grounds to the Whomping Willow underneath the Invisibility Cloak James had stowed away. This task was hardly difficult at all, they had a system where Peter changes into his Animagus and bumps the knot on the root of the tree so they can take Remus through the secret tunnel leading to the Shrieking Shack. Tonight had been a severely painful transformation, Peter had started to cry seeing Remus in this much pain, he'd always been the softer of the three others. The clothing on his bare back had ripped to shreds, they failed to remove it before Remus' transformation. Howls of pain came out of his muzzle, sniffing around at his fellow friends who had now changed to their other forms. Padfoot and Moony had a special bond, being of the same animal had made them understand each other more. Even if they hadn't been exactly the same. Whimpering came from Remus, he curled up into a ball on the soft mattress. Slowly Sirius moved toward him, nuzzling him with what little comfort he could provide a giant werewolf. That night had went on, the three trying to coax Moony back to sleep.

During the night, Remus transformed back and the other three boys had taken him to Madam Pomfrey. Sirius had also needed to stay in the hospital ward overnight. He'd gotten too close to Remus when he was changing back and tried to comfort him when he got slashed across the chest by his big paw. He had started to stir awake, seeing Remus standing over him. "D-did I do that to you? Pads, I'm so sorry, you know that I didn't-"
"Remus I know you can't control yourself. I just wanted to comfort you. It was my mistake, that's all." He pulled Remus into a soft hug, he looked extremely heartbroken that he had hurt his Padfoot. Maybe this was a sign from him. He had never looked this sad unless he had unintentionally hurt someone he loved and deeply cared for. Not even had he shown this affection to Peter or James. "Moony, I wanted to ask you something a bit personal...Well you know that there's the dance sending off the seventh years. Why haven't you asked someone yet? I hear that Marlene's all over you..." Oh. Remus felt a bit sad, he thought that was going in a different direction. Well Sirius I'm sort of gay for you. That's what he wanted to say but words failed him at the moment. All he could muster up was a weak "I don't know."
But there was a sudden change in the atmosphere that left Sirius smirking. "Y'know, It kind of makes me think a little. You've never asked out a girl before. Maybe you're into snogging boys." Oh game on Sirius Black. At this point he was messing with Remus. Of course he knew, that little shite. "Oh shut up Sirius, stop trying to hide the fact that you are too." Now there was a definite change of the atmosphere. Sirius leaned up and grabbed Remus by the collar. "Only blond haired, golden eyed blokes like you." The smirk sunk deeper into his face. Luckily Remus had been there to kiss it off.
Thank you guys for reading! Hope you enjoyed. If you want a part two that leads up to the dance just comment that you do.
