secrets.

"Oh, you must be y/n!!" she said, walking up to you, and smiling.

You looked at her in confusion. "Yeah, that's me. How'd you know me?" you said, setting your suit case down on the bed.

She smiled, and said, "Oh! I'm Lily Evans, James's girlfriend. I hang out with the crew all the time, and Remus was telling me all about you yesterday! Actually, he couldn't stop talking about you, while you were down in the hospital wing." she giggled. "Just know you're a very lucky girl, y/n. Remus is a sweet person, and I've never seen him talk about someone like that before." she smirked.

"Oh, Merlin. Me? Is he mad? All I've done is worry him with how much pain I've been in." you said, unpacking your things. She walked over, and helped you. "Oh, I wouldn't worry too much about it. He seems to enjoy talking care of you. It keeps his mind off of...his problems." she said, cautiously.

You questioned in your head why she was so cautious when she said that, but didn't say anything. You didn't wanna interfere with Remus's problems, because then it'd only be fair that you'd have to tell him about you...and you didn't wanna do that any time soon.

You walk over to the other side of the bed, where your pet's cage is. It was a gorgeous white cat, with green eyes. You named her Luna (because you know, like Luna=moon..yeah).

You let her out of the cage, and lay on your bed. Lily gets up and says "I'm gonna go down for dinner. Are you coming?" You look up at her and sigh.

"No, I think I'll stay here. I'm too worn out to go right now, and probably need to rest a little more. Can you bring me back something to eat, though?" She nods, and then walks out, closing the door.

As the room falls silent, you start to overthink again, as you lie in bed. How will the full moons be here? What will I do? You can't help but wonder what is going to happen. You're going to have to tell them soon..you can't hide it forever. You mind goes back to what Madame Pomfrey said in the hospital wing. If there are other werewolves here, who are they? Maybe you can talk to them. Who knows.

Luna jumps up on the bed, and snuggles under your arm. You smile, as her warm, soft purring makes you yawn, and you slowly drift off to sleep.

You wake up to someone walking into the dorm, but don't move because you're still half asleep. "It's probably just Lily." you thought. You hear them walk over to you, and touch your face. They tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, and sigh. You open your eyes a tiny bit, so they don't see, and you see Remus standing above you, with a sad smile. He puts a plate of food on your beside table, and begins to walk out.

You yawn, and sit up, looking at him standing in front of the door. He hears you yawn, and turns around. "Oh Merlin, did I wake you? I'm sorry.." he said, sighing.

"No, you're alright. I should probably get up anyways. Thank you for the food, as well." you said, looking over at the full plate of food.

He walks over to you, and sits on the end of the bed. "You're welcome. Are you feeling any better? You've been resting a lot." he said.

Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, actually. This fluffball right here helped me sleep a lot better, as well." You looked at the adorable creature, curled up under your arm. He looked at her, and his eyes widened with joy. "I didn't know you had a cat. She's adorable." He said, grinning. "What's her name?"

You hesitate, but say "Her name's Luna. Since Luna means moon." you said, nervously. "Oh, that's nice. How come you named her after the moon?" he said. It looked as if he was trying to get somewhere, like he was searching for answers.

"Oh, um I guess I just liked the name. I saw a full moon the other night, so decided to name her after it I guess." you said, nervously. "Oh, okay. Well, eat your dinner. You'll feel better. We have our first day of classes tomorrow, as well." he said. He waved, and left the dorm.

Great. First day of school tomorrow. These past couple of days have been so chaotic, you had forgotten that this was an actual school.

You picked of the plate of (now cold) dinner, and ate every last bit of it. You hadn't really eaten a good meal since the night before the incident. You had lost your appetite, especially since your stomach was in pain. You were scared, and refused to eat before. Now that it's been a couple of days, you were starting to settle down, and finally ate.

You thought about what had happened earlier. Why did Remus seem like he was trying to figure out something? What if he's caught on? You decided not to worry about it right now.

But you just knew, you can't keep it a secret forever...
