Under the Silver Moon

Hunter Moon

Rue dreadfully watched as her husband downed his final wolfsbane potion before his transformation. Her eyes glanced to see it was nearing ten; she sat with him until he had ushered her to leave. Remus kissed her lips and pulled her close. The pain was evident in his now completely glossy stare; she made sure his chains were secure and the office door as we'll as the classroom door were locked behind her. The woman let the tears roll down her cheeks as she made the short walk back to their private corridors.

Remus hated this part of his life. Luckily, he hadn't forgotten any day of his potions; so, he could just lay in his office till the moon disappeared. The room was sound proofed just in time as the undesirable pain coursed throughout his body. His bones cracked, body contorted inhumanly, and finally Moony made his monthly appearance. Soft whimpers escaped the creature as he laid into a comfortable ball in the corner of the office.

Rosalyn was sound asleep in her bassinet beside her still wide awake mother. She didn't expect sleep to come very easily as it didn't last month; her mind wondered to things that could go wrong if she forgot to do one thing wrong. Rue suddenly remembered that Remus had her some juice brought to her after.

"Why not? I not sleeping anyway." the mother whispered, her feet lightly crossed the cold winter floor to the bottle that sat on the far end table.

Rue poured a small glass and returned to bed as her intentions were to stay up, watching the moon till it faded behind the dawn's clouds. After a few good thirty minutes, Rue her eyes growing heavy unexpectantly. She unconsciously slid under the silk sheets, getting comfortable before she fell completely asleep beside a sleeping Rosalyn.

Remus weakly redressed into some comfortable clothes before he made his way toward his bed. As soon as he entered the bedroom, his stormy blue eyes caught sight of his two sleeping girls. A small smile crossed his lips at the fact she slept through the night and didn't worry about him. He silently got comfortable in his side of the bed; Remus pulled Rue close to his body and drifted off into a deep needed sleep. He didn't let the worry of his brother-in-law bothering them till at least lunch time. The smell of her wild flower shampoo filled his nose as his sleep over came him completely.
