Characters: Remus Lupin and obviously open to any Gryffindors
Setting: Wednesday, October 20 early morning into the afternoon, Gryffindor tower
Content: SFW
Summary: Remus is finally allowed to leave the hospital wing and get back to the tower, where his house-mates can feel free to pester/coddle him
Status: Incomplete

Remus was always out of commission for a few days after the full moons, but he'd never felt like this. His bones and joints were sore, an almost constant headache was pulsing near the back of his eyes and he trying his best to hide the limp he had apparently developed during all the craziness. Madame Pomfrey said it would go away in time, but it still worried Remus because he knew it might attract attention. McGonagall had released him early this morning to avoid as many curious looks as possible and instructed him to stay there for the duration of the day. He kept asking her about James but she merely silenced him with a look and he dropped it.

It was just after 7 am when Remus returned to the common room and, much to Remus's relief, it was on the empty side. He kept his eyes on the staircase to his dormitory, hoping anyone in the room would just pretend he simply wasn't there and leave him alone. The events of the night of the full moon had been replaying in his mind  on a constant loop, not that he could remember anything but he had a good enough imagination that he could piece it all together from the whispers he heard from the staff while pretending to be sleeping. Sirius said they didn't think Remus had bitten anyone and he had come to with an empty stomach, which was always a good sign but it didn't make him feel better about what had happened.

It went too far, he thought as he grabbed some clothes from his truck. There were still thin lines on his forearms and across his shoulder from where Pomfrey had healed his wounds but he covered them quickly with the fresh shirt and pajama pants and sat down on his four poster. Their monthly night of mischief had turned into his worst nightmare and was giving him a constant stomach ache. The silence of the dormitory was nice and even soothing, but as he looked over at James's empty bed it felt like an ice cube slipping down in his stomach, filling him with dread and guilt.

Sinking down into his bed, he pulled the covers up to his chin and settled down. For a second he was thankful for the silence of the tower, but now that he had it all to himself, Remus felt more isolated then ever. Frowning so the lines creased on his forehead he stared at the ceiling, reliving everything all over again.

Dorcas watched Remus' face fall and she immediately felt guilty. She instantly regretted saying it especially when she didn't want to leave. A wave of relief washed over her as he asked them not to. Even if he had suggested otherwise she probably would have protested, no matter how hurt she would have been. "Good. I probably wouldn't have left anyway." She said quietly, her features softening as she looked at him. "And don't you dare apologize." She continued in a quiet, almost delicate voice. Her features were still noticeably soft, something she started to realise was a pattern every time she glanced Remus' way.

Dorcas' eyes lingered on Teddy for a few moments as she wondered what he was thinking. She made a mental note to check up on him later, just to see how he was taking the whole thing. She had a feeling that like Remus, he was more concerned than he was letting on. She turned her attention back to Remus, noticing how his body had gone a little rigid. Dorcas' eyes lingered on Remus for a moment before a few strands fell into her face, breaking her gaze. Dorcas pulled the elastic out of her hair releasing the very few strands of hair that hadn't fallen loose. Dorcas gazed straight forward, sitting in silence just in case Teddy wanted to say anything. She felt a little guilty that she had been doing most of the talking, after all, Teddy was Remus' friend too, he would have been just as worried as she was. Dorcas pulled her legs up onto the bed, pulling them up to her chin as she glanced Remus' way again.

She bit her lip as she tried to read him, trying to understand what he might be thinking. She dropped her legs, tracing the pattern on her pajama pants as a thousands thoughts starting rushing through her mind. Before she knew it she had moved closer to Remus and was hugging him. She didn't over think why she was suddenly hugging him, especially since she had fell silent, it was rather random. Dorcas just thought it was necessary, seeing as she was having trouble saying what she wanted to say. The hug said it all, she hoped it said that she was there for him and that everything would be okay.

Remus felt quite glad when she said she wouldn't be leaving any time soon. He had enough isolation during the last few days and it was the last thing he wanted. The change on Dorcas's face was so noticeable it shocked Remus a bit. He would stop apologizing; he needed to remember that he didn't do anything wrong, not in their eyes anyway.

He felt stiff, tense with nerves from everything as he stared at his bedspread. It would be so much easier if he could just get answers from James or Sirius. There was a nagging feeling that he had hurt James, but no one had said anything about werewolf bites so he guessed he might be safe. Thousands of questions raced through his mind, taking Remus mentally out of the whole situation and sending the room spinning. It was his fault; all his fault. He started breathing shallow, worry freezing up his system until he felt something very strange.

Dorcas was so close, her arms wrapped around him, hugging him tightly and for a moment he couldn't get his body to react and return the hug. The pair didn't exactly have a physical friendship in the hugging sense, but it didn't feel odd. He could feel something more behind the hug, something bigger than he couldn't put into words and he wrapped his arms around her and returned the hug. Thankful didn't even big to describe how he felt right now.

When he remembered Teddy was still in the room, he pulled himself back a bit. Looking at Dorcas for a moment, his blinked some gathering moisture back in his eyes, wiping them quickly with his hand.

"Thank you," he glanced from Dorcas to Teddy. There wasn't anything else to say.
