Hands up, when the music drops we both put our hands up put your hands on my body. ---February 14th 1977

"Sometimes it is," I said honestly, since half the time we meandered I was a wolf and couldn't control myself. I sighed. "Yeah... I'm fine. But let's go sit down here for a sec," I said, leading her to a bench in the corridor. I sighed again, wondering where to start. "Okay... this night has been great. And no, I'm not breaking up with you," I added with a slight chuckle. "But I think that before either of us gets more involved than this -- because I want this to become more serious -- I feel you need to know something." I hesitated. This would be the point of no return. It was no or never... and then I'd have to live wiht what ifs. "Chloe... there's something about me that not manyh people know. Only those who are important to me or have figured it out on their own. But I don't want to have you guessing... you deserve to know. There's a reason I look ill once a month; that reason is because when I was very young, I was bitten... bitten by a werewolf." I couldn't look at her; I didn't want to see her reaction... if she was repulsed by me or scared...

I sat down a little worried about him, " That's good..and okay." I sat down trying to read his expressions. He told me I was important to him and I smiled, I heard him say he was bitten by a werewolf. " Oh...that's so sad...how old were you when it happened?" I asked him, Pulling him into a hug getting onto my knees on the bench to hold his head against my chest. " I'm happy you told me...that you feel comfortable telling me. " I told him bringing his face to mine. I kissed his lips lightly then broke it. " Remus you are you. I see you as you. Knowing this will only make me want to make sure you get plenty to eat before." I told him with a smile.

I looked to him, I couldn't believe he told me that. He thought I'd hate him or something. " Remus it wasn't your fault you got attacked when you were younger. It's something you've had to deal with. " I told him. Shifting my weight a little. " You take care of yourself...that's all that's important." I made sure he was looking into my eyes as I spoke. " I mean it..and I'm not going to say anything." I promised him. Hell if he knew how much I cared about him so quickly I'd probably scare him. " You don't know how much that means to me to have you tell me." I told him. " I think we should go back to the tower and I'll make some tea." I nodded to him. Waiting for his response, knowing full well I was going to make tea anyway whether he gave me a response to it or not. " We can sit up and talk some more. Just us." I suggested. Wanting to cuddle with him and try to help him feel better with him telling me such a secret. It made me think how much I meant to him if he told me. I figured I should tell him a little more about my family.. and bore him with it. I smiled, looking back to Remus having my thoughts run away with me.

I looked into her eyes and knew she meant every word. I smiled at her. "I just figured it'd be best to tell you now than later down the road if we were to be serious. I wouldn't want it to e a secret that'd hurt us -- you," i said. "And tea would be lovely," I added with another smile. I stood up adn took her hand. I was so glad that this didn't ruin the night. It was indeed a perfect night.

I smiled squeezing his hand. " I understand hun." I started walking heading for the tower. I was happy to just be with him. I walked behind him as I wrapped my arms around him. Loving this night and was practically dreading it to end. I agreed, " I'm glad you wanted tea....I was going to make it and just end up giving you a cup." I told him as I laughed into his chest. " Just because I was making it already.." I looked down to follow his steps to make sure I didn't step on his heels.

I laughed. "Well, then let's head back to teh common room," I said, looking over my shoulder at her.
