Summary
At Hogwarts, Remus Lupin has a secret deeper than anyone suspects. He's not a werewolf, but a merman, cursed by a mysterious magical pool as a child. Every full moon, he’s pulled to the depths of the Black Lake, where transformation is inevitable, painful, and isolating. Only Lily Evans knows the truth, having uncovered it by accident years earlier. She has kept his secret and helped him manage the toll it takes on his body and spirit.
Now in their fifth year, Sirius Black starts to notice things: the way Remus disappears, the darkness inside he tries to hide, the excuses that no longer make sense. When Sirius follows Remus one night, he finds more than he bargained for. The truth is stranger, more magical, and just a bit more heartbreaking than anything he imagined.
