Marauders wolfstar

Lily is paranoid

I'm so sorry if you see the name 'Lily' spelt wrong.
I started off by spelling it with two L's by accident and just noticed I did that.
So if you see one please try not to point it out, I know it's there, it's just a mistake please be respectful.
Thank you.

It had been 2 months. 2. Months of classes without moony, of nights by the fire without moony, of failing class without moony telling us he told us to study and then telling us he told us so.
And it was all taking a rather harsh it on the 3 remaining marauders.

'When is he going to come back?' Peter asked one night, this was about 2 weeks after the full moon and we were already slightly dying.
'Not sure wormtail...' James answered, you could here sleep taking over his voice as he fought to stay awake.
'Not for a while the nurse said, but I recon with his fast healing ability he'll be out of there in no time.' Sirius whispered, wide awake as usual.

After that night it just went down hill from there, they were all slightly moody without their paranoid friend hanging over their shoulder, but Sirius especially.
They didn't do much pranking, or singing, or running in the halls, they were starting to become unsure that Remus was even going to come back in time to finish the year.
But luckily for them, just as they were thinking this, in walked a tall, lanky, very huggable and soft Remus lupin.

At first they all just stood their, gaping at each other as their used to be very short friend was standing at the same height as James.
then they scraped their eyes across him to see if he was injured anywhere only to find that his skin was sickly pale but that was normal for Remus.
He was standing in the door frame of the portrait and had an oversized jumper on that seemed to hang off his thin frame.
Then they brought their eyes up to his face and found that he wasn't waring his prosthetic.
Instead he was walking into the common room with his face practically in two but still managed to look like a walking teddy bear.

'MOONY!!' All three shouted as they jumped up to hug him.
Remus smiled wide as they nocked him over onto the Gryffindor rug like a bunch of dogs having been locked up in the house to long.
'Hello!' He said with a very Remus like tune.
'What took you so long??? We didn't know if you were going to be here for the last bit of school!' Sirius asked with an eagerness' to his voice.
'I was healing Sirius what else would I be doing fitting off dementors?' Remus told him sarcastically.

'Well that and they were trying to fine a prosthetic face that I liked, turns out that I prefer a big box over my head instead of those ugly things they offered.' He continued, his nose scrunching up in disgust at the thought.

'That's great mate but you hate your scares, told us yourself a while back...' James said, voice seeming to lace into sadness as he helped their werewolf back onto his feet.
Remus sighed at the thought, feelings and such were never his thing but he had much to many so it was more of an unorganized mess then something he just didn't specialize in.

'I suppose ill just have to get used to it. I've gotten used to my other ones so I'm sure I could with this one too, but the thought of what others will think when they see it is what worry's me more then anything.'
They all stood in silence for a moment, silently appreciating Remus's lavender smelling oils that he used, they may have been the reason they all felt so calm when around him.
'Don't worry about it right now Remus, that's a problem for tomorrow and right now we should get you upstairs to unpack.' Peter said, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

With that they all made their way up the stairs and into the room to help unpack a bunch of Remus's things.
'Have you guys been studying for the end of year exams'? I haven't had the time to.' Remus voiced out loud.
they all froze what they were doing to swing their heads around to look at Remus, all their faces equally guilty.
'I'll take that as a no then...' Remus mumbled as he folded one of his last jumpers into the dresser.

For the rest of the week everything seemed to be going ok, they all walked around Remus in a sort of protecting manner, daring anyone to say something, but they never did.
people stared, but never actually said anything about the scar.
Lily did though, she had gotten Sirius's letter and had immediately wrote back in panic.
(Sirius decided that he had been right. it was a mistake to tell her.)
And ever since she had seen Remus's face on the fist day when he was back in class all she did was whisper talk to him and stare at him in extreme concern.

'but are you sure your ok?'Lily pressed on for the 4000 time that afternoon.
'Yes, im fine right now.' Remus said sternly.
All of them were surly getting annoyed with how persistent Lily was, especially James.

And it showed latter in their dorm.
'What is wrong with her?? Moony's obviously fine and all she does is cry over him!'
Jame's started,
'She's my friend james, its normal to be concerned.'
Remus told him, pulling a book into his lap second's later.
'Yes but this is excessive!' He continued.
'I do agree with that. This is very strange behaviour for Lily, why is she so concerned?'
Sirius asked, they all looked to Remus.

'Well what are you looking at me for I don't have an answer!'
He yelled, feeling rather attacked.
'Did something happen?'
James asked, getting suspicious.
'No! Of blood course not! I wouldn't of that to you!'
He told James, now feeling offended.
'Can everybody CALM. DOWN????' Peter yelled from his bed.
They all turned to him.
'Why don't we just, I don't know, ask Lily tomorrow?' He suggested.
They stared at him for a second.
'Yes let's do that.' Remus said and they all grumbled their approval, getting into bed as they did.

'Right we'll ask her tomorrow. Goodnight.'
Sirius told them, they all then let the silence take them into a deep sleep.
Except for Remus of course, who lay wide awake thinking about the last few weeks for the whole night.
