I. A Question
" Remus."
No inflection interrogative or exclamatory.
no insistence on a vowel.
No reassuring little laugh.
Remus had learned quickly to recognize the beginning of a conversation he did not want to participate.
A discussion that would bring thoughts, and what he needed was the mind free to study, given the task of the next day.
" Yes?" Too polite not to respond, but not busy enough to turn around.
" I was wondering for a while '... how exactly does the curse? Like you go? "
tone vaguely interested ... Maybe he should turn around.
" You know very well. You are attacked. Come wounded. If there is enough of your body to let you survive, you're rewarded with a fabulous pair of tusks and a collection of hair, lifetime supply, used only when the full moon. "
The lack of comments the sadness of his sarcasm was lasting too.
" This is not what I mean, you know ... I mean .. must be the wolf to bite? "
now Remus felt teased, and then decided not to respond and try to return to his studies.
" Really ... I have not explained it well?"
Silence.
" Yes, just like this was a stupid question. I wanted to know what happens if you bite or scratch you a werewolf in human form. "
books would have to wait.
"Not nothing happens. "
" Are you sure? "
" course I'm sure! " Where was that anger come?
No, because he knew it was altered ... suppose such a thing ... It was as if Sirius show him the possibility of not having any human relationship.
was just a question, just one question . had to calm down!
"'s not like you're imagining. Do you think that if a problem whatsoever, as a scratch in error, could afford to condemn someone else, I would be allowed to attend school? "The voice had risen again .. this conversation had to end quickly.
"Now I have to study . "
" E 'that for a moment I thought I knew everything ... "
What?
" What?"
" But .. . your stay away from people, never to have violent reactions, and .... "
" not everyone is like you and picks a fight James "
" But sometimes even Peter -few-times- hits very flat- James!"
" However, what did you mean with that ... and ?"
" Yes .. um ... why not try never physical contact."
" punches, scratches and bites?" A smile ...
" Girls ...." A sad smile.
"'s not that." 's not that ...
" No, I understood it. It is for that. "
" No. "
" So ... "
No!
" task. Tomorrow. I have to study, I will. " Studying, not thinking, study! -Damn, damn, damn-
" Ah, ok. So here I go. "
Sirius left the room quickly. He was not sure really want to know why, after all.
