Telling his secret(fleur)

[LOUIS SIRIUS WEASLEY]

These were the worst full moon injuriesyet. He looked around as he held his side and stumbled to the house.He stumbled into the door, that led into the house. He breathed heavyas he opened the door with his freehand and went into the house. Helooked around and listened for a moment. He made his way to and upthe stairs as quietly as he could to not get anyone's attention. Hewent into the bathroom nearest his room and grabbed some bandages. Hestumbled into his room and landed on his bed.

He groaned as he laid there for acouple moments. He turned onto his back and tried to sit up as besthe could. He leaned back against the headboard and worked on at leasttrying to bandage his arms and what wounds on his legs. He didmanaged get one arm done. It wasn't the best but it would do the job.That’s was he thought anyway. He eventually just laid there againstthe headboard. The other wounds on him, he doubted that he would beable to get.

After a while, He jumped a bit andgroaned a bit louder than he meant to at the sudden movement. He hadjumped because of hearing or thinking he heard a noise fromdownstairs.

Fleur woke up, startled by all the noise her son made as he entered. She had no idea he was even gone. What was he doing out so late? Slowly and tiredly, but driven by great concern, she woke up and placed her lavender robe on. She made her way down the hall and hesitated before knocking on Louis' door. What reaction was she going to get from him, especially if he was trying to hide whatever reason he had for his late night trip? She didn't want to upset him so late and perhaps it was best if they discussed it in the morning.

Fleur couldn't sleep the rest of the night. This was a testament to how loving a mother she was. Exhausted, she moved herself to fix breakfast, wondering if Louis would even come down. He had come home so late and could possibly sleep until the afternoon. Perhaps the smell would wake him up though. She decided to make his favorites.

Louis made his way down to the kitchen after a while. He had somehow managed to get into different less bloody cloths. though, he didn't realize the wounds on him did bleed through a bit. He sighed as he slowly entered the kitchen. He saw his mother up already cooking. the smell of the food had begun to make its way up to his room. He looked at his mom and could see that she was tired. He had woken her up.

He hated that he did that. " morning, mom" He didn't know how she would react to seeing him like this. He had his badly bandaged arms hidden under a long sleeve shirt but he was sure that she would see them. She didn't miss a thing. He made his way over to her and said" sorry that i woke you." He felt bad about waking her.

While Fleur had heard her son come in the night before, she hadn't seen him until now. If she had, she would have been by his side the previous night in a heartbeat. When she turned to see him, whatever fatigue she suffered from disappeared and she darted over to him, examining the wounds on him. Fear, angry, concern flooded her eyes in quite the dramatic mixture.

"Merlin, Louis, what happened to you?" she exclaimed. "Where were you last night? Why did you sneak out? Did you get into a fight?"

She smelled breakfast and knew she had to get back to it or it would burn. Frustrated, she stepped back over to the stove and finished it, wondering if she should have made the boy his favorite. She would find out soon enough as Louis would tell her everything, not because she was trying to upset him, but because whatever happened Fleur wanted to know who was responsible.

Placing the plate of food and his juice on the table and then grabbing her own, she sat down and looked at him right in the eye... a mother's look.

"Tell me everything," she said, and her voice should have told him it was not a request.

He looked back at his mother as she looked him in the eyes. He didn't want to lie to her, but he did fear her reaction to him being a werewolf. He sighed and said after a moment" the reason behind me sneaking out last night was to keep you all safe. it would have been dangerous if i stayed." He shook his head and said" i wasn't in a fight or anything. I probably did this to myself" He always managed to somehow come back injured, but never this bad.

He looked away for a moment as he thought to himself' i may as well come out with it now' He looked back at his mom and said" mom I'm a werewolf. that's why i snuck out last time.i would have hurt someone if i hadn't" He looked down as he waited to hear her reaction. it was likely that she could be mad at him or any other number of emotions.

Fleur's heart sank and her body went limp when Louis told her the harsh truth. Memories of Bill getting bitten came back to her. She had hoped the nightmare had ended with that, with Bill coming out of it with the curse only affecting him just a little.

But no... the nightmare had extended to her son. She grew angry for a moment, her fist about slam on the table, but she stopped herself and the fist came down lightly. What was the good in being mad? It wasn't like Louis had asked to be a werewolf, and could she blame him for not telling her? With tears in her eyes, she rose and stepped over to him. Sitting in a chair closer to Louis, she took him into her arms, showing the love only a mother could give at a time like this.

"I understand why you did it, Louis," she said. "And we'll get through this... we always have, no matter what. I love you, Louis and nothing will change that."

He watched her as the new sank in. He could see some anger from but she seemed to calm down. He put a arm around her as she took him into her arms. He relaxed and felt safe as he didn't say anything for a couple moments. Then he said" i love you too mom" He smiled  softly as he had said those words. 

He was relieved to have finally told her. He had kept it for so long from everyone but his cousin. He didn't know when he would have told her if he hadn't been so badly injured but last nights full moon. He had tried his best last night to keep quiet, to not wake anyone. He had failed in that goal but he felt better in a way now that he had at least told his mom. He wasn't sure he was really at the moment to tell anyone else but he knew he would need to someday and hopefully soon part of him thought.

Fleur knew there would be more to all this than simply a promise that the family would endure this and come out strong as always. In order to do so, Louis would have to take the next step and Fleur would need to be there for him when he did. She kissed him on the forehead and then stepped over to her chair and sat down, going back to her breakfast for a moment before looking at him.

"Your father must know, Louis, and your sisters too," she said. "We can go from there. I'm not sure how the Delacours will take this news, but you know your father's side of the family will understand. The Weasleys have always understood these things, especially your Grandfather Arthur and Grandmother Molly." Fleur sighed. "I will leave that up to you to decide when to tell them, but it should be sooner than later. Letting something like this remain a secret for too long could prove harmful in the end."

Louis nodded as He listened to her then said" i know i do" He started eating his breakfast and took a large shallow of his drink before saying" i do plan on telling dad and everyone soon but i don't know when yet." He thought about who he was going tell first. He didn't think it was a good idea to tell them all at once.  He worked on eating his food for a few moments while he thought to himself then he looked up at his mom.

" i don't know who to tell first." He said as he looked at her" i don't think i could tell them all at once." He knew telling his dad and his sisters at the same time would get it over with quickly but part of him still didn't like the idea. He thought about how he would feel if  someone in his family, like his sisters or dad,kept something important from him. He wasn't completely sure how he would react but he knew that he would do his absolute best to support however he could.

Fleur listened as Louis wondered who to tell first, and Fleur thought a moment before smiling with an idea.

"Why don't you pay your grandfather a visit at the Burrow?" she asked. "He's been a bit lonely there since your grandmother went out of town for a few days with friends, and he tells me all the time how much he misses you and your sisters. I think it will be wonderful to spend some time with him, and telling him might make you feel a bit more confident about talking to the others."

Arthur had always been an understanding man. Even when Molly was skeptical about her being with Bill in their younger days, Arthur was always so kind to her and gave her a chance from the start. She knew he would be understanding to her son, and would do as he always did with his children, in-laws, and grandchildren- make them truly feel like part of the massive Weasley Family.
