Characters: Remus Lupin (

siriuslymagical )
When: Night of Feb. 26
Where: Sirius' flat, then the Wastelands
Rating: PG-13, description of werewolf transformation and werewolf mind
Summary: It's the first full moon for Remus in Adstring. He and Sirius go to the Wastes so the transformation can happen without hurting innocent people.
Remus' body ached. All day, he had stayed in bed, curled up against the pain, but it did no good, and hew knew it wouldn't go away until later. He had felt this way so many times before that he knew automatically what it meant.
Full moon tonight.
As the sun began to set, Remus dragged himself out of bed and wobbled into the living room. He had to lean against the back of the sofa so he wouldn't collapse onto it and risk not moving at all. "Sirius..." he said weakly. "It's tonight." With the energy he had, Remus ran through the plan in his mind. They would go out beyond the Wall, as far away as they could, leave Remus' clothes and a blanket somewhere safe, and then leave the rest up to chance and Sirius. He hoped he wouldn't catch the scent of a human from the city, no matter how far away they were.
Sirius, keep me in line.
