Moonlight washed over the empty dormitory bed, a quiet confirmation of what Sirius had finally understood. The truth about Remus's monthly disappearances had slotted into place, dismantling the pureblood prejudices drilled into him by his cruel family. Now, driven by a fierce, protective loyalty, he moved through the hushed corridors toward the hospital wing. He needed answers, but more than that, he needed his friend to know he wasn't alone.

There, amid the sterile scent of healing potions, Remus slept, bandaged and vulnerable, curled tightly against the lingering ache of the transformation.
