Beauty and the Beast

One night, Remus finds out the hard way just how desperately possessive Sirius is of him. However, the werewolf is willing to forgive - even though Peter and James aren't. Then somebody steps in - somebody who they'd never thought would ever help them.

James and Peter wake up to realize the whole horror of what has happened.

Sirius wakes up to realize the true extent of his horrible deeds. James and Peter yell at him, while Remus is, oddly enough, almost forgiving, albeit very sad.

Sirius tries to remember just what led into him raping Remus. What he remembers horrifies him -- has he truly been such a monster?

Snape reveals why Sirius did what he did. Remus decides to trust his boyfriend and former friend again, a decision which does not make James and Peter happy at all.

Remus is faced by a bunch of nasty Slytherins. However, helps comes from a Slytherin as well when Snape steps to his defence. And, finally, the guilty ones are going to get what they deserve.

Lily has found out something very important about a certain young Gryffindor. However, when she tells the boy about this fact she knows, the reaction she gets is not at all what she'd expected.

The other Slytherins are going to punish Severus for getting their leaders imprisoned. Do, they set to reach their goal, with very unfortunate results. Upon finding the abused teen, even James has to reconsider his opinions about Snape.

The Headmasters wants to punish those guilty of Severus's injuries, and James can offer him the names. Meanwhile, Severus wakes up, only to find out exactly how horrid his situation is.

Severus's father has decided that his now mute son is worthless and not deserving of life. However, the Marauders mess up his plans about getting rid of this unnecessary burden.

While learning sign language from Peter, Severus also discovers the secret of the Animagi. However, making him a Gryffindor is another thing altogether...

The teachers are slowly getting used to Severus's little "condition". Remus and Sirius have a rather nice moment together, and Peter comforts Severus when the former Slytherin has a nightmare.

Peter and Severus have a tal -- err, conversation, the Marauders go to the Hogsmeade, and later a few little kisses cause the whole Gryffindor Tower to start fussing. End of the story.
