Prompt 4 - Monsters

@wolfstarmicrofic July 4, word count 979

They were cornered. Before them were an array of pitchforks, knives, various pointed weapons and torches. Sirius wrapped his arms protectively around Remus.

“Get away from him! He hasn’t done anything!” Sirius bellowed at them. The answering cacophony of shouting voices was so overwhelming that Sirius held Remus closer, using his hand to cover the ear that wasn’t pressed against his chest. He used his remaining hand to cover his own ears as best he could. 

The swarm of people pressed in on them, forcing them further into the corner of two houses. “Please, just let us go!” He begged them. Remus was shaking in his arms, he was so scared. Sirius was terrified, but he had to keep a cool head if they were going to get out of this. 

A shot rang out behind the mob and they all turned to see what was happening. Sirius used those precious seconds to escape. He hauled Remus to his feet and half dragged, half carried him out of a tiny gap that had opened up. He ran with him into the forest. 

He didn’t dare look back. He’d heard them yelling moments after they were in the cover of the trees, having realised they’d disappeared. “Come on sweetheart, just a little further,” Sirius urged Remus. Remus’s feet kept stumbling, slowing them down. He’d barely transformed back. He needed rest. But right now, that was the last thing they could afford. “Come on, Remus, keep going. You have to keep going!” Sirius was panting with the effort of helping Remus. 

“Just leave me, Sirius, you escape. I’m just slowing you down. Leave me,” Remus wheezed as he begged Sirius to carry on without him. 

“NO!” Sirius roared at him in disbelief. “If you think for one second that I’d let those monsters have you just because it’s getting a bit difficult, then you have another thing coming!” He stopped for a second and yanked Remus up onto his back before he set off at a slightly faster pace. 

He soon tired. Remus was almost a dead weight on his back and the tree roots were becoming hazardous. They just had to get a bit further, then they'd be safe. The sounds of the mob had lessened as they spread out to search for them. He could hear the braying of hounds as they tried to track them. Unlucky for their pursuers, Sirius and Remus had been all over these woods, so it would be near impossible for the dogs to follow the correct scent. Plus, with what Sirius had planned, he hoped they’d lose the trail altogether.

He pushed on. He was so close he could almost taste it. The final few trees gave way to a wide river. He carefully dropped Remus on the bank and went to drag the little raft he’d made out of the undergrowth where he'd carefully hidden it days ago when the people in the village had started getting antsy before the full moon. He should have moved them on as soon as they started stirring. But he’d shrugged it off, because how would they know? He still couldn’t figure out how they’d figured out how to capture Remus in his wolf form. 

He got the raft into the water, driving the steak attached to the rope into the ground so it didn’t float away. He helped Remus onto the raft and went back for his pack. He pulled out a thick blanket and tossed it over Remus’s shaking form. He pulled the steak from the soft ground and waded out into the icy water, scrambling to get onto the raft. 

He sat down heavily on it and picked up the oar he’d fashioned from a broken branch, ready to steer them when needed. He breathed a sigh of relief once they got out into the middle of the fast-moving river. They should be able to travel further than the villagers could be bothered to chase them and then he could find somewhere warm for Remus to recover. They’d have to find somewhere new for the next full moon, but at least they had a month to sort that out. 

They were coming up to a bend in the river that would take them away from the forest. He tentatively put the branch in the water and began to turn the raft. Slowly it rotated. They were almost upon it when a figure strode out of the tree line, walking right up to the bank. Fenrir Greyback held up a rifle to his shoulder and took aim. 

The crack rang out through the trees, sounding louder than it was. The round blew above his head, missing by inches. Sirius grabbed Remus and rolled them both off the raft. He held Remus tightly around the waist and grabbed the rope. 

The powerful current kept dragging them under as they rushed to the river bend. The rifle shot rang out again. The round plunking into the water to their left. Sirius prayed they’d get out of this alive. 

Another huge drag from the current and they were being carried away from Fenrir. The rifle sounded again but the shot landed behind them somewhere. Sirius chanced a look and saw Fernir lower his weapon. They were moving away too fast for him to chase.

With his remaining strength, he shoved Remus out of the water, then followed him. They both lay flat on their backs panting. No wonder the villagers had known more than they should about werewolves. Fenrir would have told them everything he knew just so he could finally capture Remus after hunting him since he was a teen. They would have to tread carefully for a while now. It had been over a year since Fenrir had been able to track them down, but Sirius wasn’t scared. They were good at disappearing after all.

Ice Cube

The cool spring sunlight filtered through the trees of the forest. The colors were much more vivid now than they’d been last month, all mossy greens and burnt sienna. Remus stirred on the forest floor and a dog barked close by. Soon, he felt a wet nose sniffing him and then the nose was gone, replaced by human hands, helping him into a sitting position. 

“Moony?” Sirius said, looking at him with concern. 

“Yeah,” Remus managed, though his throat was dry and scratchy from howling. 

Sirius pulled a blanket from the bag of supplies he kept hidden in the forest. “Let’s not have you turn into an ice cube, ok?” he said, wrapping the blanket around Remus. He nodded against Sirius’s chest. “Are you in any unusual pain?”

“No.”

“Alright if I apparate us, darling? I want to get you warmed up.”

Remus nodded once, letting his head loll against Sirius as he felt the pull of apparition and then the warmth of their house.

'“Pick up a book for me?”

The boy from the Slug Club, Sirius’ brother, stood by the other side of the table. He held both hands in front of his body, enhancing the prefect badge that shone on his chest. The green of Regulus Black’s Slytherin robes glowed in the faint light of the library.

"Pardon me?"

"Can you pick up a book for me? I can't reach it.”

“You’re Sirius’ brother."

It wasn’t a question. It hadn’t been one from the second the boy had mocked him for wearing Sirius’ tie at the party. Remus cringed internally after saying it. Regulus wasn’t as subtle.

“Why, thank you for providing me with that information. Yes, as much as Sirius likes to pretend otherwise, I am."

“And you don’t talk to me, or Sirius.”

“Sirius doesn’t talk to me, and I am talking to you now.”'

 or

With the war as a constant threat held above them, those at Hogwarts enjoy their remaining days of safety and careless youth. Between conflicts and mistrust among his friend group, Remus finds yet one more reason to spike friction, as he nurturs an unusual infatuation with his best friend's little brother.

James gets Sirius dog toys as a gag gift but then they end up actually using them so that Moony and Padfoot can play tug of war on the full moon.

"Remus!" Lily can't help but gasp as she looks at her best friend. His face is bruised, there's a nasty gash on his neck and, although she can't see them, his wrists are probably red and raw where the handcuffs sat.

"Knocked ma teef ouf." Comes the reply.

Lily winces in sympathy, whipping around to look at the guard who brought her down to the holding cells. "Let him go. His bail is paid, you've had your fun. We'll handle it from here."

The broad man smirks, but unlocks the cell door with a flick of his wand. Small sparks jump off the bars as the door slides open, hitting Remus like tiny silver shards.

"Bloody bastards," Lily hisses as she carefully pulls Remus into a hug. "Let's go. James is out with his brother, it'll be a while before he returns."

"Lily, I'm fine." Comes the immediate answer. He winces as soon as he hears his own voice, and the lisp he currently has due to his missing teeth.

"If you're fine, Petunia tells her friends how proud she is of me," Lily mutters. "You're hurt. At least let me give you some numbing salves for your wrists."

Remus ducks his head as he huffs but doesn't fight her. He knows she worries, and he doesn't want to have a row. Especially not here at the auror station.

-

James and Sirius both jump as the floo roars. But then Lily steps through, and her eyes flash as soon as her gaze falls onto the both of them. Another roar follows and a second person stumbles through, easily caught before they can fall onto the carpet.

"Out. Now." The tone in her voice makes it very clear that she won't have any objection. James only nods, grabbing Sirius by the arm and pulling him out into the backyard.

Things have been tense between Sirius and Lily for months, -and he still doesn't know what he did to make the red-haired witch despise him- so he's all too glad to leave the room.

As he gives a final look, his eyes lock with those of the stranger that came with Lily. He feels like he's seen those eyes before, but can't remember where. Before he can think on it for too long, James has him in a headlock.

"Let's go see if dad has any advice, yeah? He used to work for the DMLE too, you know? Maybe he can help."

dubious & poison

for @wolfstarmicrofic

Aconite, monkshood, wolfbane - the queen of poisons.

Sirius could recite all the names attributed to this particular blue-purple flower, firstly because he was always ace in potions (thank you very much) and secondly because of his vested interest in keeping a certain werewolf alive.

So it stopped him in his tracks when Remus, still tip-toeing around him like Sirius might break at any moment, asked if Sirius would be willing and able to help him brew a Wolfsbane potion.

"I, I have all the ingredients - Dumbledore made sure of that, but you know me, Pads, I've always been shite at potions. And I just figured it would be easier - "

Sirius let Remus trail off, still trying to grasp what he was even going on about. A potion with wolfsbane that Remus was willingly taking? Had taken before? Twelve years in Azkaban, what have I bloody missed?

"Mate, I'm not going to help you poison yourself. I know I'm not ah - as mentally stable as I used to be but you can't think I'm that far gone as to let you do that."

"P-poison myself? Sirius, no, that's not -" Remus pauses, shakes his head and sits down on the old-worn in sofa. From the set of his shoulders, his voice, Sirius can tell it's taken a lot for Remus to ask Sirius for help, for this favor. Remus has never been the type to ask for help, and even more so now, with the awkwardness between them only just beginning to fade as they rediscover themselves and work through their separate traumas, together.

"They developed a...well not a cure. A reprieve really. A potion that let's me keep my mind during the full. It's, it's not perfect but it's better than the alternative, that much I can say. Especially going the last few moons without it." Remus sighs, a hand running absently through his hair, a gesture Sirius recognizes as one of Remus' tells when he's anxious.

"Severus had been tasked with making it for me during my tenure at Hogwarts - that's the only time I've - the ingredients are rare and expensive if you're able to source them at all. And really it requires someone with advanced potions knowledge to even brew it. Safe to say that the vast majority of the werewolf population has no access but that's a whole other - "

Sirius cut him off, sitting next to him on the couch and placing a hand on Remus' shoulder.

"Moony." Sirius says firmly, confidently, despite the fact that he hasn't so much as glanced at a cauldron in twelve years. "Of course I'll help you. I just wish you would've asked sooner."

Remus offers a small smile, turning his head slightly to rest his cheek on Sirius' hand in what Sirius knows to be a silent thank you.

Don’t think about Sirius, all hopeless and sad and beaten sitting in his tiny cell as he looks up and through the window he sees the bright full moon and for a brief moment a glimmer of hope makes his lips quirk at the thought of Remus because the moon always reminds him of Remus before it crumbles at the reminder of why the full moon reminds him of his best friend and then his heart breaks all over again at the thought of Remus, out there scared and alone, adding to the ever growing collection of scars and marks on his body.

Don’t think about it.

[fox-marauder]

He was twelve years old. He had to deal with being a werewolf, painfully transforming in a wolf every month, and doing it in secret. Not telling his friends a word. Even when they asked him, worried, what happened. Why he looked sick and keep disappearing some days. He was scared. Scared of the truth, scared of losing them, because what will they think of him if they knew he is a werewolf. And he had to carry that, the pain, the worry, the angst, and act like nothing was happening. All by himself. Alone.

Remus Lupin 🤍

sirius thinking that remus is trans because regulus acts similarly when he gets his period before they find out he is a werewolf

sirius: hm, remus is always moody and in pain once a month... just like regulus is. guess he's trans! better make sure he knows i still care about him!

cue sirius giving him chocolate and healing potions around every full moon, not thinking much of it and just trying to support his friend

remus, internally panicking: holy fuck he knows now i have to run away from hogwarts and never come back my life is over what do i do

Thanks for the tag, @mikaharuka . This is very rough:

“Name?” asked the bored wizard at the desk.

“Remus Lupin.” The wizard fumbled with the list for a moment before finding Remus’s name, which he checked off and handed Remus the bottle of potion.

“Remember to take it for five days at the same time. Contact us if you have any trouble. Next?”

Remus rolled his eyes. As if he hadn’t been doing this for longer than this wizard was alive.

“Lavender Brown.”

Remus waited for Lavender. ”Is Parvati on her shift today?” Remus asked.

“Yes…I’m heading up there to meet her for lunch. Want to join?”

Sirius: My kink is doing stupid shit and watching Remus speed run the five stages of grief as he realises he still wants to fuck me

[solemilyswear]

I genuinely believe that one time Remus was complaining about how no pain medication, magical or muggle, helps with the full moon, and Lily offered him some of her midol and it worked.
