Charming

Ever since the accident I had been the “good girl” I studied I didn’t do anything I wasn’t supposed to. That night had been a hard lesson.
I shook myself back to the present, there wasn’t anything I could do about the past I could only help the now.

I always tried to make things easier for him, although sometimes he was stubborn and difficult. When the first full moon came about after his bite he had told me he hated me and never wanted to speak to me again. That never did seem a long time, in reality it was about 2 months.

I couldn’t blame him if it wasn’t for me he would not have had to go through that but I did try to help and believe me I did feel guilty for it but I didn’t wallow in pity for myself because I wasn’t the one who needed it.

Looking out into the cold autumn night knowing this was the last niof tof the full moon, he would have a whole month of peace. I smiled knowing the “peace” would be terrorising the school with the other terrors and their pranks.

Yawning, I decide to go bed now so that I can wake up just after sunrise and go down and visit Remus once he has turned back to “him”.
I climb off the ledge and walk towards my bed.

While moving my things off of my bed, I see more light enter the room. More than my candle next to my bed is providing. I turn to the dorm door to see a rather large black dog sitting there. Damn those girls for not shutting the door properly.

I put my things on my chair and I walk to the door, leaning down slightly I whisper “Go away Sirius”.
Shutting the door, I walk back to my bed wondering what he was up to. Climbing into bed I decide not to think anything more of it because what ever it is, it is not good.


I felt the sunrise, warming up my face. Slowly I open my eyes. I groan slig, I , I am so not a morning person. I shut my eyes again for a few minutes, no I must get up.
Quickly I jump up, that or not get up for a couple of hours. And change into some tracksuit bottoms and a vest top, the cold outside should wake me up (just a little).

This was my usual routine every month I did this, not every night of full moon. Just on the morning on the first day after. I would go downstairs and it wit with Remus and chat and have breakfast together. We didn’t normally speak too much during the rest of the time. Only if I really needed to we did. He normally spent most of this time with his friends and me with mine, but didn’t mean we loved each other any less. It was all just part of growing up.

I quietly headed out from the dorm and downstairs to the dorm, I see “them” sleeping in chairs. I guess they decided to stay up later. Quietly climbing out of the portrait I quietly head downstairs and out to the whomping willow, I’ve never been caught going out but Dumbledore gave me permission from the first year as long as I only visited Remus at a particular time and didn’t tell anyone else what I did. Fair enough rules to me I thought.

I found a stick lying on the ground and prodded the willow where the button was to open up. I climbed down and headed towards the room that he was normally in.
I reached the room and saw him sleeping curled in a foetus position on ted sed soundly, I guess you wouldn’t get much sleep as a werewolf for three nights but his friends don’t help either.

I crept in quietly as a mouse onto the bed next to him and curled up so we was sleeping in a spoon position, something we used to do a lot of when I had nightmares as a child. Groaning slightly, he was not a morning person either he moved so I was more comfortable and put his arm around me. I soon fell asleep lying like this, as the next thing I knew I woke up. And I looked at the clock and it was 8am so I had defiantly had a good sleep last night, for once.

“Morning” I heard him say, I rolled over to see him sitting on the bed smiling at me.
“How are you?” he continued

“I’m good got some decent sleep last night…. …for once” I said winking.
“How?”

“A potion madam Pomfrey gave me”
“Cool”

“How are you?” I asked quite concerned.
“Bit of a headache but I shall live”

“Oh Mr sarcasm is ready to play I see”
“Well you know me Reina”. With a smirk I was familiar with.

“Where’s breakfast anyway” he continued
“I see something’s in this world never change, you thinking with your stomach”

“Well some of us get plenty of exercise to burn it off” I knew what sort of exercise he meant.
“ewww, I have enough with the girls bragging I don’t need you as well”

“So they brag huh?” he said teasing me, I gave him a look of pure evil which he knew not to pursue this any further especially with my volatile temper.

At that point he summoned for a house elf.
“How may I help sir” the elf asked.
“Can we get two full English breakfasts please with orange juice to drink” he asked. He was lucky that’s what I wanted, but very typical not ask what I felt like eating.
“No problem sir” the elf said smiling and apparating back to the kitchen.

He turned to me smiling, “So what did you get up to last night?”
“Oh nothing much, girly chats”
Looking slightly worried he asked “Should I be worried?”
“Why Remus should you be worried? You been naughty recently?” knowing that was a silly question but I wanted to make him worried.

“Maybe” he said with a smirk.
“Well as I know nothing on it, I don’t want to and it also means you’re safe and happy”

“That I am” he smirked. Yeah I really didn’t want to know.

Another elf returned with the breakfast, I recognised her as being Tilly.
“Hello Tilly, thank you for the food”
The elf ed aed at me “It’s my please Miss Lupin” the elf replied. “Is there anything else you require?” she asked politely.
“No thank you” I said, she smiled at me and apparated back to the kitchen.

“I thought I told you to stay away from Sirius” Remus stated, harshly.
“I have err wait what makes you think I haven’t?”

“You know the elf, only girls he takes to the kitchen to oh god” he said realising what Sirius had in mind for me. “Please stay away from him”
“I have, I went to the kitchen with him and James before you told me to stay away”

“James too huh, well this becomes more interesting. No wonder they wouldn’t really let me in on their plan because it involved you. Hmm it shall be an interesting conversation later with those two” I could tell he was angry, he rarely ever lost his temper but when he did he really did. Remus had always been calm but since being a werewolf he had to control his temper more because he was physically stronger than normal guys. Where he lacked in temper, I made up for it. I really should have red hair.
“Can we please forget about those two prats please” I asked.
“Sure” he said smiling at me.

We continued eating breakfast before heading back to the castle I knew where he would be going or at least I thought I did, while I was going to be predictable as always and go study.
