Love Is Full of Black

Chapter VI

Say What Now?

I squirmed under the scrutinizing gazes of the four boys in the apartment. I didn't really trust the pudgy one (for Merlin's sake, he could be dinner), but I had no choice but tell him.

"How long have you known about this, James?" Sirius asked my best friend and cousin. He seemed a bit pissed about this, considering James is Sirius's best friend, but it was my fault. James unexpectedly hugged me to his chest, blocking my view of what was going on.

"It's not my fault, Sirius!" He snapped back. "I promised not to tell anyone, even if it means I had to lie to you guys!" I was confused now. He lied to his friends, for me? I didn't get a chance to say anything, though, since Remus said something in between the heavy silence that hung between the two best friends in the room.

"How about we ask her how this happened?" Remus was surprisingly calm during all of this, so I'm guessing he must have been used to this kind of crap between the two. There was some silence before I heard a grunt come from Sirius's direction. James's hold on me tightened before he reluctantly relaxed.

"Can you please explain how you're a werewolf?" At least Remus was kind enough to ask, because Sirius's hardening glare wasn't going to get anything out of me.

I sighed and prepared myself for the onslaught of questions. I glanced over at Katerina, making sure she was still awake and ready to jump in at any moment. "Well, you probably wouldn't believe, since it goes against everything that has been researched so far, but..." I paused a minute before telling them, "I was born a werewolf."

Shocked silence yet again came into my response. I ran a hand through my white hair before continueing on. "That's what my aunt says, anyways. It's apparently a curse that's been passed down through the female side of the family. Some great wizard in the olden times cursed the female-side of the family, saying something about it's all our fault." I smirked.

"Well, I can't say he's wrong, but he was in a sense." I shrugged. "Beyond that, I do not know anything abut the werewolf thing, other than the superb changes during the new moon instead of the full moon." I sighed again then looked at them all. They were in their own deep thought before Remus spoke again.

"So, what are we going to do now?" He looked toward the other two. It seemed like Peter (the fat one) wasn't really a part of the three men standing in front of me. They seemed to look at each other, having a silent conversation between them.

I wonder if they can actually do that. 'They probably know each other well enough that they produced a telepathic connection with each other.' I turned to Katerina, petting her soft fur down. She seemed to shrug before laying herself across my lap. 'Look at us; it has happened before.' I thought about it and nodded, taking her explanation for that moment in time.

Then my eyes narrowed in thought. 'What about your secret, Katerina? Shouldn't they know?' Katerina instantly shook her head 'no.' I sighed and didn't ask why. She'll tell me why on her own time.

"I say we let her in." I snapped back to the conversation, seeing Sirius grinning like crazy. I widened my eyes in surprise.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, a little wary with the grin on his face and the glint in his eyes.

He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You," He pointed to me. "Should be a part of the Marauders!" Sirius grinned, thinking it was the best idea ever. I froze, my mind going a mile a minute, thinking of all of the things that could go wrong and all the things that seemed to be... right.

I slowly grinned and glomped Sirius, accidentally pushing Katerina out of my lap and making Sirius fall down on his arse in the seat. "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! You have no idea what you have done for me!" I felt his hesitation at something, then he slowly wrapped his arms around me, making me feel really... warm inside.

"You're welcome." I then smiled mischeviously, unexpectedly grabbed Remus, and dragged him into the group hug.

"Hey, what about me?" James asked. It sounded like he had a pout on his face. I rolled my eyes and waved him to join us. I then felt a weight on my back. "Group hug!" He proclaimed.

I smiled. It was great to be surrounded by friends and people who accepted me for who I was.

I wish that I didn't have to keep more secrets from them.
