Chapter One

It was just three weeks away from Emily and Remus's wedding. They had everything planned out and had already sent out invitations. Emily had picked out her dress and it was being fitted for her. The boys had already gotten their suits, and they were at James's house. She knew they would be safe there.

Today was the full moon, so Remus needed to head down to the basement.

"I only got ten minutes left," Remus said, looking around the house.

"Ya," Emily said with a sigh, "you should head down there now."

Remus nodded his head, gave Emily a kiss, and went down into the basement. Emily watched him walk down the stairs, before closing the door. She locked all the locks on the door. After she had finished, she went to her room and changed her clothes so she was wearing black short pants and a white tank top. After changing, she went and laid down on the couch. She turned on the tv and slowly fell asleep. About an hour later, she woke up to a loud howl and something falling down. She slowly got up and peeked into the kitchen, where the basement door was. She saw the door on the floor and Remus smelling the fridge. She slowly backed up, trying not to make any noise. She looked around for her wand, than realized she had left it in the kitchen.

She decided to try to head to her room, which the door was closed. She slowly opened the door, but it made a creak. She heard a ruffling noise from the kitchen. She quickly went into the room and closed the door. She heard a loud thud on the door and than a howl. She could hear him trying to get into the room. She looked around and headed into the bathroom attached to the room. She locked the door behind her and looked around. She heard the bedroom door break and open. Another howl and a pound on the bathroom door. She quickly looked at the window in the bathroom. She couldn't get it open, so she grabbed the lid off the toilet and broke the window. She quickly dropped that on the floor and tried to make sure there weren't that many sharp pieces of glass. She started to climb out the window. She got half way out it when she heard the door break open. She felt a sharp pain in her right leg. She screamed and used her other leg to kick herself free.

She laid on her back on the ground. She could hear Remus howling in the bathroom and things breaking. She tried to stand up, but her right leg hurt too much. She did her best to just crawl away from the house. She got about 20 feet away before just laying back down on her back. She took a few deep breaths and looked around. Than she saw a motorcycle in the sky. She gave a small laugh as Sirius landed his motorcycle next to her. He quickly got off his motorcycle and looked at her, looking very worried. He didn't say anything as he helped her up and onto his motorcycle. He took her to James's house, which was closer to them than his house.

Sirius quickly helped Emily inside. James and Lily were in the front room with Harry. When they came in, Lily quickly took Harry into the other room, while James went to help.

"Do you know what happened?" James asked, looking at Sirius.

"No," Sirius said, as they helped Emily lay on the couch, "I was just passing by and saw her laying on the ground."

"Is my leg broken?" Emily asked, with a pained look on her face.

"Let me see," Sirius said.

Sirius looked at her leg, than he noticed something. He looked at James with a look of shock on his face. James looked at him and went to see what he had saw. He too looked shocked after he checked it out.

"Is it?" Emily asked, "I think I cut it on the glass climbing out the window."

"Ya," James quickly said, "we need to go get some stuff to clean the wound."

Sirius and James went into the room where Lily and Harry were. Lily quickly got up as they came into the room.

"Is she alright?" Lily asked as they closed the door.

"She was bit," Sirius whispered.

Lily put a hand over her mouth, looking utterly shocked.

"Have you told her?" Lily asked, looking back and forth at both of them.

"No," James said, looking at the ground.

"You must," Lily said, "you can't just not tell her, she'll find out sooner or later. Sooner would be better."

"I'll do it," Sirius said, looking sad that it had happened at all.

Sirius left the room and closed the door behind him. Emily looked over at him and gave him a small smile. Sirius sat down on the floor next to her.

"Where's the stuff for my leg?" Emily asked, noticing he didn't have anything with him.

"Oh ya, right," Sirius said, looking around before looking at her, "your leg was cut on the glass, but theres more."

"What?" Emily asked, looking a bit worried.

"You were bit," Sirius muttered, looking at the ground.

Emily didn't say anything, she didn't seem too shocked at the news. She sat up and looked at her leg. Indeed, there was a bite mark. Sirius got up and tried to say something, but nothing would come out. He just went to the other room. James and Lily looked at him and he just nodded his head.

"We should clean up the wound," James said.

"Ya," Sirius said, "I wonder what Remus is going to do when he finds out."
