"The Truth Will Out"

*First Place Winner of @eternal_potterhead's 1-S contest*
Remus is a shy young Gryffindor at Hogwarts, now in the middle of his second year there. Unlike the other Gryffindors, Remus has a secret--a secret that could get him kicked out of Hogwarts, for good. He had tried to distance himself from people, to protect them more than himself, but he'd found himself attracted to a rowdy duo, who had already taken another shy boy under their wing. The four had quickly become friends. Now, those three friends are beginning to question Remus's frequent disappearances and the newly formed gashes he often came back with. Remus has told them lie after lie, and now he has no more to tell. What will happen when his friends force him to tell the truth?
