Chapter One: Under Attack

Harry was at Remus's house, staring into the fire. It was Christmas Eve, but Tonks was away on Order business. Ron and Hermione were with their families, enjoying Christmas. They deserved it, considering that they now had destroyed four horcruxes, counting the ring and diary. Lupin sat across from Harry, sipping at his hot chocolate gingerly.

"Remus?" Harry questioned softly, staring at the lit Christmas tree.

"Yes Harry?" Lupin replied.

"Dumbledore told me that my parents had defied Voldemort three times. Can you tell me about one time they did?"

"Well," Lupin started, "I know James refused to be a Deatheater, but I can't really think of any others. Well he did help Bridget. Your mum did too."

"Bridget?"

"Ok. I'll tell you that one. We were eating dinner one night. The day had been a normal day, about half-way through our seventh year. Your mother and father were going out by then too. Well, suddenly we heard someone yell a spell. The doors to the Great Hall flew open. A huge, I mean huge, winged horse galloped in. If I stood next to him now, my head wouldn't even reach the top of his back." Harry raised his eyebrows. Remus was pretty tall.

"So…" Harry promted.

"This horse reared up, flapping these huge brown wings. His fur had a gold shine to it because of the golden flecks through it. His gold hooves came crashing down on the stone floor. He threw his head, making his mane of gold fly, and flicked his tail, which was the same color. His tawny eyes scanned the room. There was a girl, who was shorter then me at the time and I was pretty short, on his back. She had on a pair of bloodstained pyjama pants and a white spaghetti-strap tank top. You could see cuts and bruises all over her bare skin…"

----Remus's POV----

The girl swayed unsteadily on her horse. Everyone was staring at her in shock. Remus exchanged looks with the Marauders.

"Beauxbatons has-has been take-taken over by Vold-Voldemort." She shouted hoarsely. The hall fell completely silent as Dumbledore stood. "He's come-coming for Hogwarts nex-next." With that announcement, she fell off the huge brown horse. Remus leapt forward and managed to catch her. Her head rolled back over his arm, her loose dark hair falling.

Dumbledore motioned for Remus to take her to the hospital wing. He got up immediately and left, the other Marauders following him dutifully. As he set her down on the bed, Remus heard Dumbledore dismissing the rest of the students. Now there was only one thing to do. The Marauders, Remus, James, Sirius, and Peter, sat down on the other side of the curtain around her bed and prepared to wait.

----Bridget's POV----

The girl sat up straight, looking around. Her panicked blue eyes scanned what part of the room she could see. She looked down at herself. She was in navy pajamas with the Hogwarts crest over her heart. She also noticed that the pain she had felt was gone. Her right wrist, which she had broken, now worked. She pushed her long dark hair out of her face.

"Where am I?" She asked softly in English.

"The sleeping beauty awakes!" Exclaimed a tall boy with shoulder lengthblack hair, jumping around the curtain. "I'm Sirius Black," he told her, examining her with dark eyes. "Guys! She's up! Why'd speak in English if you're French?"

"I'm sorry. What?" She asked in flawless English with a twinge of a French accent.

"Ignore him." A boy, just as tall, with wild black hair walked around the curtain. "I'm James Potter, Head Boy."

"Nice to meet you."

"This is Peter Pettigrew." James told her, pointing to the said guy.

"Hello." She took her eyes from James and they landed on another guy. This one had chin length sandy brown hair and intelligent hazel eyes. She gave him a shy smile, which he returned. "I'm Remus Lupin."

"He caught you when you fainted." James chipped in. She nodded without taking her eyes from Remus's.

"My name's Bridget Plottier." She said shyly.

"Nice to meet you." Remus told her, kissing her hand softly.

"Same here." She replied, blushing slightly. "How is my horse?" She asked suddenly.

"He's fine." Remus replied. "Hagrid is taking care of him."

----Back to Harry and Lupin----

"You flirted with her." Harry said, trying not to laugh.

"Well, I, uh- Do you want some more hot chocolate?" Lupin asked quickly.

"Sure." Harry replied with a laugh.
