I started a story like this but I have since decided to rewrite it.

Preface

When Remus shifted back into his human form he let out a small groan and rubbed his neck. His joints always hurt so much after the full moon... Nothing like actually shifting but painful none the less.

It had been two months since Remus left Hogwarts and he was going to miss it dearly; especially Harry. Getting to know James' son was a dream come true and he'd do anything to protect the boy. Sirius came down and unlocked Lupin's cage before jogging back upstairs. Remus knew Sirius was going to have a glass of tea and take a nap.

Remus got dressed and followed Sirius into the kitchen to find two cups of tea sitting at the table. Outside Remus could hear someone dragging their feet up the road. Sirius nodded and gave a brief chuckle when he heard the person stumble... One of their neighbors got drunk and dragged himself home every Friday while his wife "entertained" his brother. Remus felt sorry for the fool but he was loud, obnoxious and a pain in the butt.

Remus took a sip of tea and set the mug down when the slow steps turned into their driveway. Did that drunk fool forget where he lives... again? The few times that had happened, he had spent five minutes trying to get his key in their door before realizing he was at the wrong door.

Sirius groaned and Remus just rolled his eyes. But this time when the steps stopped at the door, the was a weak knock at the door.

Remus and Sirius shared a glance before they both stood to answer the door. Sirius opened the door and both he and Remus gasped at the site in front of them.

Harry Potter stood at the door, his clothes were shredded and covered in blood. His body was cover in scratches, and bruises. His skin was pale and sweaty.

"It came out of nowhere," Harry muttered and proceeded to fall forward. Both Remus and Sirius lunged forward to catch him before he collapsed in onto the ground.

Sirius lifted the unconscious teenager and carried him over to the couch.

"Lupin, can you get some water, clothes, and bandages," Sirius said as he removed Harry's shredded t-shirt. Lupin turned to go up the stairs when Sirius suddenly let out a panicked gasp.

"Lupin... You need to see this."

Something in Sirius' tone made Lupin's stomach clench in panic. His voice sounded panicked and miserable at the same time.

Lupin turned around to find that Sirius had gone almost as pale as snow. Lupin made his way to the couch and he immediately saw what had caused such panic from Sirius.

On Harry's shoulder was a very large bite mark and there was a matching bite mark on Harry's stomach. His stomach and back were covered in long gashes... They both knew in this moment that this was the work of a werewolf.
