chapter 8 - who?

"I only know what you have told us about it. Why has something happened with the whole wolf thing?" peter looked bother confused and anxious about this all at the same time.

"I guess you could say that, but it is a bit more complicated." He still wasn't sure about tell in Pete about any of this, but it was only the second day and people were already suspicious, so it was better that it came from him. "So, one thing to note is that werewolf's have mates."

"What?"

"Do you remember learning about Veelas in magical creatures?" Peter didn't understand how this was relevant, but he ran with it.

"Aren't they the once that are like really attractive or something."

"Kind of. They can attract anyone, but they only want one person. The person who magic draws them to. This person is referred to as a mate just like animals have."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"They aren't the only creatures with mates. Some creatures have stronger bonds to the point that it courses physical pain."

"What are you saying."

"Werewolf's have mates. Bonds so strong it hurts. A few months before there sixteenth birthday their instincts kick in. if they are not with there mate by there birthday the wolf will have control of their body till, they get what they want." There was silent. It was the one thing that moony was not prepared for. He was so scared what if Pete told the others. What if they try to figure out who it is?

"Okay so who is it then?" Wormtail was completely dead pan he did not seem mad more like he was processing what he had just been told. Now it was Remus's turn to be confused.

"Why aren't you mad"

"Why would I be mad I already know you were a werewolf. It is not your fault. It also explains a lot of thigs like why you had to go to the hospital wing yesterday and why your eyes changed this morning."

"Wait you noticed that this morning."

"it is a bit hard to ignore someone's eyes turning grey and their pupils getting thinner."

"I guess so." Remus looked at his knees in embarrassment.

"Who is it then."

"What?"

"Who is your mate. I assume that you know."

"Yes, I know but you will be mad or tell the others and I don't want them to know yet."

"I will not be mad. Have I been mad about anything yet? As for tell the other I won't if you don't want me to. As I said you earlier you can trust me." Remus contemplated it for a minute before speaking.

"I will tell you, but you must promise to not tell anyone and no matter wat to not be mad."

"I promise."

Moony took a deep breath and let it out. "it-it is Sirius."
