Not—not because of the wolf thing, but because of your kindness, and patience, your cleverness and smartness and all those pranks you thought of. I thought the world of you, Remus. And the Incident with Snape... That  wasn’t because I thought you some dangerous monster. In fact, it was because I  didn’t think you dangerous that I would have even dared to goad Snape like that. And yes, I was an idiot, and I made a mistake and I will forever be sorry for having done it. But it’s not because I thought you a creature, or less than human. I—" Sirius cut himself off to take a deep breath. "I only think about your lycanthropy insofar as it hurts  you. I think about it in the way you look after the full, in the screams you make when you Turn—" Remus winces at that; it’s not something he likes to think about at all, much less thinking about Sirius hearing it. "—I think of it in the way Moony and I would play, sometimes, during a full, the way we would run around the Forest and hunt rabbits." Sirius shakes his head. "You are dangerous, yes, but you were never dangerous to me." Sirius smirks, and adds, "and honestly, I think you’re more dangerous as a wizard than a werewolf."
