He lands on top of me, snarling. Is this what it feels like to die? It might not be so bad. I see a brown shape running towards me, a pack member to finish me off. No, it goes for Uncle Greyback. It knocks him off of me, it turns around for just long enough for me to recognize those eyes, Remus. He came to help me even though he knew who he would be facing. "Moonlight!" I shouted in wolfish. I stood up and tried to help Moonlight fight him, but my left hindquarters hurts too bad, I fall back down. Remus has knocked him down, he bends down, he opens his jaw. "No Moonlight! Leave him!" I shout in wolfish, the only language I can speak right now. Moonlight listens, he turns around and comes over to me.
"Stardust! Are you okay? Please be okay!" Remus whimpered
"Moonlight, I'm fine, hurt but fine."
"Will you be okay until morning?"
"Yes, just help me back to the shack." I said. We walked back to the shack, I was limping. I couldn't help noticing that Moonlight had a brand new scar.
"Is that my fault?" I asked him when we got inside the shack.
"No, you didn't do anything."
"Thank you Moonlight."
"For what? I didn't do anything."
"Don't be so modest, you saved my life"
"No I didn't! You were perfectly capable of saving yourself!"
"Rem-Moonlight, I was almost dead when you saved me, I owe you my life." I say dipping my head.
"Owe me your life as a human, go to bed Stardust." Remus joked.
"Goodnight" I said, padding over to the corner of the room, where I turned around and laid down.
"Goodnight" Remus said resting his head on his paws.
The next morning, I woke up in pure agony. My leg at the bottom of my thigh felt like it was on fire, also I had just transformed back, that hurt too.
"You okay Krissy?"
"Yeah Remus my leg just hurts."
"That's where he jumped on you isn't it?"
"Yes but it's not that big of a deal."
"Come on let's get back to the castle." Remus says, standing up. I grab a chair and try to stand up. Remus sees me and holds his hand out for me. I grab it and he pulls me up.
"Thanks." I mutter. We walk up to the castle together where we are greeted by Madame Pomfrey who escorts us to the hospital wing.
"Krissy,"
"Yeah Remus? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just why did you say no?"
"Because, I didn't want to join."
"Why did you not want to join is my question."
"Because, we still have so much ahead of us, it's not worth it."
"And?"
"And I don't want to take orders from that psychotic madman."
"Fair enough."
"I'm going to sleep, see you later." I say yawning. I slump down and I fall asleep. Remus does the same. Neither of us knew that Lily came in to see us while we were asleep. When I woke up, Lily was still in here, it was the middle of the night.
"Lily? What are you doing here?"
"Krissy! Where were you?"
"Lily, it is the middle of the night go back to bed or you will be in here for sleep deprivation and it will be my fault"
"How?"
"Because I said it would be now go to bed."
"But Krissy, it was horrible today without you."
"Well then I'm sorry that I will be out tomorrow too."
"But,"
"Sorry I can't do anything about it I'm not allowed to leave."
"But I got teased by James and Sirius so badly! They are only afraid of you!"
"And McGonagall."
"Well duh have you met her?"
"No, I don't think so" I joked
"Why were you really out? Sirius said that you were making out with Remus."
"Lily, do me a favor and remind me to punch that guys lights out."
"Noted"
"I was hurt last night, Remus-Remus saved me."
"Really?"
"Well, look at my leg," I say as I pull my leg out from under the blanket. It is swollen and purple.
"Why can't Madame Pomfrey heal it?"
"It's a magical injury, it takes longer." I said. Lily yawns. "Go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Bye Krissy" Lily says, walking out.
"Bye"
"Remus wake up." I say touching his arm.
''What do you want Kriss?"
"You mind helping me punch Sirius' lights out tomorrow?"
"Why? Kriss you know they aren't that bad."
"Really? He told Lily that we were gone today because we were making out."
"Yep that's pretty low even for him."
"I'll say. They teased Lily all day too."
"You're kidding right?"
"I wish."
"Okay, I'll help you but I can't say I will like it."
"You don't have to." I replied. We spent the next hour planning, we were going to find a way to make their clothes invisible. The next day, we slept all day. At dinnertime I got up and went to dinner like I promised Lily I would. Remus said it took him three days, which I do not understand because we went through the same stuff on the same night. I told Lily my plans and she agreed that we had to do something. Lily said she would even help us find the spell. Even better, now instead of getting two targets, we can make clothes invisible on all three of them.
