Remus lay on the ground of the shrieking shack cold and alone. He was getting ready to transform. He was waiting for the moonlight to come through the little window in the shrieking shack therefore exposing Remus to the moon light to make him transform into... a monster.

As soon as the moon rose and the moon light peeled in he felt pain cursing through his body. His face morphed, his legs became longer and much stronger, his body became much thinner and his hands started to change to claws. After the pain started it stopped and he lay down to curl up and sleep. The wolfsbane has worked.

"Mommy?" Teddy said as he stood in the middle of the hallway in his snitch pyjamas.

Tonks has been washing dishes from dinner that night. They had eaten quickly after they got home so remus would have enough time to get to the shack. And now before her was teddy.

"Uhh what's up it's a bit late don't you think?" Tonks said as she looked at the clock in the kitchen which read 9:23

"Oh. I's jus worried bout dada" teddy said as he started to walk over to tonks. "Where is he?"

Tonks sat down at the table and pulled teddy into her lap and started rocking back and forth a little bit.

"Dadas uhh dada's busy right now" tonks said trying to find the right words for teddy. Sure they had told him a little bit about Remus' lycanthropy and wolves and stuff but never in full detail. He was too young to understand.

"What's he doin" teddy asked looking up at his mother

"You remember how we talked about how dada turns into a wolf sometimes." Tonks said as she turned teddy to face her so she could see his eyes.

"Oh yeah. Oh! Like moony!" Teddy said as he wriggled off his mothers lap to go get moony

Teddy quickly ran to his little room at the end of the hall to go get moony and bring him back to sit with him. He looked all over us room. His room was a giant mess but once he found him on his floor under all the shirts he had taken on and off this morning he grabbed him and ran back down the hall to where tonks was sitting.

" k mama I back with moony" teddy said as he wriggled back onto his mothers lap

" moony wants to learn bout wolves. I mean I know he already wolf but stilllll" teddy said as he looked up at his mother with pleading puppy dog eyes

" haha moony wants to know or a certain little blue haired boy wants to know?" Tonks said as she helped him up into her lap

"Both"

So tonks explained all about wolves and what happened to remus every month and all about the moon and lycanthropy and the shrieking shack and even a bit about the marauders and their school time. Basically every thing that Remus has told her about wolves and lycanthropy and school. Tonks didn't care that teddy probably didn't understand yet, he still like listening to her and she liked explaining it all. She knew that she would likely have to reexplain it to him eventually but it was still fun.

Tonks has been talking for about an hour so it was now around 10:30 and way past teddy bed time. Eventually teddy fell asleep in his mother's lap so tonks careful picked him up and carried him all the way down the hall to his little room and set him in his bed. Then she pulled up the covers to his chin and kissed his forehead.

"Mama when will dada be home?" Teddy asked as he began to wake a bit from being picked up and carried and moved so much

"Soon buddy, soon" tonks said as she stood up from beside his bed and walked towards the door and to his light switch

"Love you mama" teddy said as he rolled over onto his side to look at her

"I love you too teddy" tonks said as she turned out his light and closed his door
