It was quiet in the dark empty corridor, that is till three twelve year old boys shuffled down. They were close to each other, trying to keep the cloak on but also going as fast as they could. "Shh! Don't wake up the portraits!" James hissed to Sirius.

"I won-" Sirius started but almost dropped the wrap around bandage he was carrying. He sighed with relief and stuffed it in his pocket. 

"Someones coming!" Peter whisper yelled, panic rising in his voice.

The heard a new set of footsteps besides there own and moved in a slower pace. They all glanced to the side slowly to see a Hufflepuff prefect. He looked in their direction causing all three boys to hold thier breath.

The Hufflepuff simply just shrugged his shoulders and turned the other way. Sirius wiped sweat from his forehead. "C'mon!" He whispered when he was out of sight and the three friends walked outside.

The sun was just starting to rise in the sky. They took the cloak off and headed to the shrieking shack. Once they made it they could see Remus' hunched figure in the distance. He looked worse than usual. More scratches, more scars, more blood.

Sirius grabbed the bandage out of his pocket as they walked closer to him. Remus jumped when he saw them. "What are you doing?" 

"Helping you of course." Sirius replied, unwrapping the bandage. He glanced down at Remus' leg and noticed him limping slightly. When Remus set his shaky, scratched arm out, he started to wrap it around his arm. "You don't have to-" But James cut him off. "Nonsense, why go to the hospital wing when you have us?"

"It's what friends are for," Peter said.

Remus felt his heart soften but pushed his thoughts aside and gave the three a small smile in response.

He never had friends like this...ever. And he loved the feeling to have caring friends who would do anything for him. He would do anything for them as well.

James and Peter stood on each side of Remus and grabbed under his arms gently for support while Sirius kneeled down to bandage his bleeding leg. Once he was done they wrapped a blanket around his shoulders and helped him walk torwards the castle. 

"Thank you, for waking uo early, bandaging me up and...everything."

"It's like what Pete said, " Sirius spoke. "It's what friends are for."
