In the Closet
Title: In the Closet
Author: [info]cruisedirector
Word Count: 100
Characters: Remus and his classmates
Challenge: #23, Lupin's New Year's Resolutions


Tell them. Before they figure it out themselves.

But whether he confessed or they guessed, his friends were unlikely to forgive him. His condition wasn't even a slur that Sirius would hurl at Snape, despite the bestiary of dark creatures from which Sirius chose his insults. It was too awful.

And when they did guess, as they were certain to do -- the cleverest wizards of their year -- what would happen then? Would Remus Lupin become the new object of their scorn, or would he be driven from Hogwarts?

No. Instead of speaking, he would find a better way to hide.

Aww! This is a really good tale but its also so sad the fact he knows he must face the music at some point and how in his desperation he still chooses to hide for fear of losing all he loves just breaks my heart!...=(

Thanks -- considering that teachers seem to have "warned" students about him in his youth as well as when he was teaching by pointing out the symptoms of lycanthropy, he must have been in a constant state of stress.

Severus: *wingardium leviosas you out of his way*
Lucius: *grins and offers you consolation, should you need any*

This is just achingly beautiful and sad. The thought that Sirius wouldn't even use werewolf as an insult on Snape really brought this home for me. It makes Remus's pain all that more acute.

Impressive work and thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much. You know how kids always think their secrets are the very, very worst thing in the world? Imagine being Remus, where it's actually true...I feel so sorry for him.
