There was nothing like strolling round the owlery at night.
I sigh and cross to the window, wiping away the condensation and looking out at the waxing moon.
Soon, it would be full.
And soon, I would be forced to change.
My grip tightens on the windowsill just thinking about it.

I walked up the steps to the owlery with my letter in my hand, i had written home about the new friends i had made. I sounds sad but i was a mummy's girl. I walked into the owlery and saw Remus looking out the window at the moon. "Hey Rem, how long now?" I ask pointing to the moon.

"Not long. A week, I think." I sigh.

I look down at my feet. "Should i feel this frightened?" I ask.

"It's normal. For your first transformation. It's normal to feel frightened." I say gently. "And it doesn't get that much easier." I add honestly. "But it gets a bit easier."

"I hope so, do you think Dumbledore knows about me?" I ask suddenly, that man knows everything.

"Most likely he knew before you'd even enrolled here." I shrug.

"I don't know what i would have done if he hadn't accepted me. He's a good man is Dumbledore." I smile.

"Yeah, if he wasn't headmaster, I wouldn't be here now." I sigh. "I owe him, a lot. Even if he says I don't."

"I don't know what i'd do if you weren't here either. I'd melt and burn." I laugh

I laugh weakly. "Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm here then."

"Yes, i won't melt or burn." I grin. "Have you ever thought about what it's going to be like when we leave school? Out in the big wide world." I ask

"Yeah." I say, my grip tigheting still more on the windowsill.
I'd thought about it a lot.
How hard it would be for someone like me.
For people like us.
No place for half-humans in the wizarding world.

I notice his grip tighten on the windowsill and know what he is thinking.
"We'll be okay Rem, we can do whatever we want if we set out minds to it." I say

"You can tell you haven't been one long, Izzy, did you know that?" I smile wryly. "You don't talk like people who have suffered with it for years. It's refreshing to hear hope like that."

"Where would anyone be without hope though Remus? We'll show them." I smile

"Sure, we will." I say down-heartedly, trying to inject some of the hope I'd lost long ago into my voice.

"And you've got Rin, you'll both show them what you're made of." I say

"I suppose. I just-...it's going to be hard." I sigh. "It's going to be harder for people like us, even if I do have Rin and you have Sirius."

"He'll come round. He always does." I say. "Someone just needs to talk some sense into him and I'm working on that. But it'll take a while, seeing as Sirius has so little sense to begin with."

I laugh lightly. "Oh Rem i do love you..." I smile "...you always know how to make people feel better."

I smile. "Have you ever thought about what Voldemorts doing? Have you ever thought about fighting against him?" I ask

Post by Remus Lupin on Apr 2, 2007 18:43:09 GMT
"That's the only thing I'm certain of doing after we graduate. Fighting against Voldemort is the only thing I'm sure of." I say confidently.

"Same here, after hearing about all the things he has done. I just want to get him out of our world, i'd do anything to help get rid of him."

"Yes." I nod.
There's a moment of silence where I recall the argument I'd had with Sirius earlier.
I sigh and say slowly. "Izzy? Can I ask you something? About Sirius?"

Post by Isabella Knox on Apr 2, 2007 19:19:06 GMT
"Yeah sure." I say quietly.
