moon and stars

Chapter 3 - tell someone

Remus was in too much pain to say no to peter when he suggested that he should go to the hospital wing, so he just went. He walked in to find it empty as it normally was on the first night back from night back from a holiday. He knocked on madame Pomfrey's office door hopping that she was there. "Oh, Remus nice to see you, what can I do for you?" she gave him a kindly smile as she always did. She was one of the nicest adults in the school, she actually cared for the students' which was a nice change. "I-i-it h-hu-hurts." He managed to stutter out.

"Poor boy fallow me I will help you." She took him back to the room he normally stayed in after the full moon and told him to sit on the bed. "what hurts dear?" she inquired.

"Ev-everything." It was true every part of him hurt.

"Do you know why?" she seemed to have no idea what was happening to him. Reams didn't know if he should tell her or anyone for that matter. He know that it was probably a good idea to tell someone and it was a good idea to tell the nurse if no one else.

"M-ma-mate." He said the wolf getting stronger with the word. Her reaction was not what he expected in the slightest. She seemed like she know in some capacity. "Oh, of course, I should of know. Let me get you something for that." She left just to return moments later with a dark blue potion. "Here dearie drink this. It will ease the pain for now." Moony quickly downed the disgusting concoction before thanking the kind nurse. "If you don't mind telling me, do you know who your mate is?"

He froze up at this. He can't tell her she will think he is weird. Who was he kidding he was weird? He liked his best friend. Not just liked loved. What was he meant to do? He will reject him and then there would be no point in his existence anymore.

This is the point where he breakdown in to floods of tears. Brocken and inconsolable. "Oh, don't cry dear. It will all be okay. It doesn't mater who they are I am shore she will love you." She was trying so hard, but it was just making things worse. "It- it is not a she." The sobbing teen whispered under his breath. "Oh, you poor boy. I am so sorry." It may have sounded mean, but he know what she meant as she placed a supportive hand on his shoulder. "I know it seems hard, but you have to do something. I assume you know what will happen if you don't do anything by your 16th birthday?" he bowed his head in response. He know perfectly well what would happen. The wolf would tack over, and he would have no control. He also know that he had to do something but how Sirius was his best friend. He can't just say "Oh hey, Sirius you know I am a werewolf right well werewolf's have mates and you are mine." What was he meant to do?

He was brought back to reality by Pomfrey asking him the same question once again. "Who is he then dear?"

"It is Sirius." He know there was no point in hiding it now he had told her to much by now to back out.

That was when his friends burst through the door looking for him.
