remus john often got detrimental leading up to the next full moon. whether it was full-on arguments or just pure ignorance, it always happened.

this month was plenty worse than others, he'd been snapping at everybody for the past two days. the moon officially came tomorrow night, meaning tomorrow dinner he would be heading to the shrieking shack.

you, sirius, james and peter sat in the common room. remus hadn't tagged along due to his headache and chronic back pain, leaving him huddled up in their dorm room and sitting in the pitch black.

"he's alright, right?" peter squeaked, still traumatised from remus getting mad at him earlier.

"yeah, pete, he's okay. you know how it gets," james assured him, a small smile on his face.

not long after, remus walked downstairs and took a seat beside you. he was extremely quiet, but nobody expected different.

it wasn't until sirius and james started bickering about who 'pulled more birds' that he narrowed his eyes at them. you knew, that if they didn't stop sooner or later they'd be in for a treat. remus looked as if he was nearing ripping both of their heads off.

so being the most sane of them all at this moment in time, you decided to speak up, wanting remus to stop practically growling beside you.
