Summary: Remus has gone out for a midnight run, but something has drawn him back.
Notes: Cheers to a wonderful Halloween fest!
The werewolf bounded through the forest on all fours. The bright moon had beckoned him out for a midnight run. He was now retracing his path, returning the way he had come. While the full moon was compelling, something even stronger was drawing him back.
He loped to the edge of the trees and rose upright. Lights glittered in the distance, familiar and welcoming. The werewolf threw his head back and released an unearthly howl. As the echoes died away, he lowered his misshapen snout and swiveled his ears forward. He heard the approaching footsteps long before he was able to distinguish another figure moving toward him. It was a man, dressed all in black, one shadow among the others.
The werewolf's lips drew back in an automatic snarl, even as his tail gave a slow wag.
"Cease your slavering this instant," said Severus. Despite Remus' current height advantage, Severus still managed to look down his nose at the creature. "I've brought your potion, which you should have taken earlier instead of allowing your inner lunatic to run free." He tossed a small vial to the ground at Remus' feet and said, "Drink it quickly and come back to bed."
