☽ 010 [ Waning Crescent ] - - Dictated.
[ Remus has been waiting. He's been patient and has set himself aside to deliberate on the best choice of action. He's had a month since the whole mess with Samkranti and his Loss and as much as Remus would simply love to continue hiding behind his lies, he knows that the Castle will not allow him that luxury. Sooner or later, the whole Castle will know what he was and Remus was not willing to allow that to happen just yet.
He knows that he must speak up now, knows that he has to be the one to start this conversation for once. The last time he was "outed", James and Snape had nearly lost their lives in the passage under the Whomping Willow and before that, in 2nd Year, it had been his friends who had cornered him. Both times, Remus had had no say, hadn't been given a chance to step up to the plate on his own, to speak on his own terms. He was not about to let that happen a third time.
That isn't to say, however, that he wasn't afraid. He was scared. Scared of what they might think and what they might say. He doubted that they would come marching with torches and pitchforks, but he knew to expect a less-than positive reaction. He had lied, after all, and what right did he, a monster, have wandering around the Castle and making claims of having human blood in his veins?
It is for the best, he tries to convince himself as he opens up a filter. ]
I would like to speak to some of you in private if you have time. It's ... it's about a Loss I had near the beginning of April and ... and about the Full Moon. Some of you came into contact with a strange wolf in the woods last month. A select few of you, even attempted to help that wolf into the Castle -- a kindness that I am very wary of being grateful for. Either way, there are a few things that need to be explained. About what that wolf has to do with me. It's a bit of a long story, so forgive me if I take too much of your time...
