When Remus woke up, the first thing he felt was a burning pain in his left arm. He opened his eyes and saw a white blanket over him and judging by the smell he was in the hospital wing. He turned his head and saw someone sitting next to him. The person had turned their backs on him and was talking to Madame Pomfrey in a whisper. Still, it was easy to see who it was. That red hair ... it was Lily. She seemed to notice the healer's look over her shoulder and turned to him.
Madam Pomfrey said briskly: "Oh, you're awake ..", scurried over to him and shortly afterwards into her office. She came back with a small bottle in which was a silvery, shiny, pale liquid. "Drink this!" She said in a voice that brooked no contradiction. Then she disappeared back into her office, but not before whispering to Lily, "And you make sure he really drinks it!"Lupine looked at the liquid, whose shimmering silver color was reminiscent of the moon, and made a face. Then he looked at Lily. "How long have you been sitting here by my bed?" He asked. "Since you've been here ... about 36 hours." "That long ...? Didn't you sleep at all?" He looked at her amazed, then was silent for a while. Finally he said "Thank you ..." and again there was silence. "You should drink this," Lily finally broke the silence and pointed to the bottle in Remus' hand. "Oh ... yes," he hesitantly tried to open the bottle with one hand, emptied it in one gulp and grimaced again. "And ... how does it taste?" Asked Evans. Moony shook himself, "Exactly how it looks ...", he said and made a disgusted expression "Why, I thought it looked pretty ... like the moon ..." "Yes," said moony tonelessly, "really great. .. "He sighed, put the bottle on the bedside table, where he discovered a box of chocolate frogs and a box of Bertie Bott's beans."Who are they from?" He asked, mildly astonished. "Well, from Black and Potter, who else?"
“Paw and crown were here?” Lily looked puzzled. "Um no ... just ... only Peter was here"
"I see ..." Lily didn’t miss the disappointed expression on his face and the bitter undertone in his voice. "But ... Peter said something about, they wanted to apologize ..."
The Gryffindor just nodded. There was silence for a while, until Lily said meekly that she would be better off. Remus nodded again, but this time he managed to bring himself to smile and say "Thank you." Then he silently looked out the window again. Lily told him that she had left a couple of books for him, then she withdrew from the hospital wing, hanging her head slightly. Lupine stared through his window at the castle grounds. It was in the evening, almost completely dark. Moony could make out a few figures on the castle grounds. Exactly three. One of them gesticulated wildly while apparently telling something and the others, according to their behavior, were having a great time.The figures stepped into the light of a window and Remus realized who it was. It was Sirius, Peter and James.
Moony forced himself to look away from the window and at that moment Mme Pomfrey stepped up to him. She shone her wand in his eyes and asked briskly, "How are we?" "It's okay ..." Remus muttered "Mme Pomfrey ..." She was lifting Remus' injured arm and examining him, "What is with my arm? Why can't I move it ...? "The healer sighed, pulled up a chair and sat down. She looked at Lupine for a long time, pity in her eyes. "Mr Lupine ...", she finally began, "Your wound is very complicated ... the cut severed the most important nerves and muscles ... Unfortunately, I can't put them back together so easily with my strength ... honestly said, no one can do that ... because then the nerves would be unharmed again, but they still couldn't move their arm, the muscles and tendons cannot regenerate in such a way that they would be perfectly joined together ... "The Gryffindor swore Terrible "I'm sorry, but unfortunately I have to put a prosthesis on you ...""She has to WHAT ???" Krone made a horrified face. Lily had pulled him resolutely into a corner with a serious face when he came into the common room with the others. "Listen to me!", Evans admonished him now. "When I left the hospital wing, Remus didn't know about it, but I think he will have asked Mme Pomfrey by now ... but he felt miserable enough as it was. .. It could not be overlooked that you had an argument, but I would have thought that you would at least have the decency to visit him when he is seriously injured in the hospital wing. "But - ...", Krone did not see a "Peter was there ... and at least we gave him our last candy ... "Lily couldn't believe so much stubbornness" Look out ... I don't know why, because Remus is a wonderful person but you are his only friends ... and right now he needs you ...! "But Krone just snorted," No ... we are not his only friends ... we WERE it ... Now you can fight him on my behalf "Lily's eyes filled with tears and she slapped James a hard slap in the face.Then she stormed into the girls' dormitory.
