Author's Note: Well, many people have asked about Remus' transformation, so here it is. The chapter you have waited so far.

Scene Eleven

Remus' Transformation

It has been 6 days after they moved out from Doran house to their own house near Dale Lake. Tonight Remus would have his first transformation since they arrived at this world. But unlike usual he didn't feel tired at all, instead he felt more energetic than normal. The Ulras citizens have been warned of his curse so they would not go to this place for 3 days.

Sirius would spend his 3 days with Remus in the house which they recently named Marauders' Cave, while his godson, Harry, would have to stay in Doran's house for precaution. Sirius thought that they had to teach him animagus transformation (if he had that ability) as soon as possible. Harry enthusiastically greeted the news. To know if he had this particular ability or not and what was his animal transformation, they needed to perform an advanced spell. This spell was rather dangerous because of how much power it needed, but since there was no magical herb in Middle Earth which they needed to make the animagus Potion, they decided to use it. Remus was actually the one who suggested this. He had studied about this particular spell in advance to help his friend reached their transformation, but since there was another safe way (which was the potion) they decided against it. But now, they would have to do this spell for Harry. But that would have to wait until Remus' transformation.

In these 6 days the trio has familiarized themselves at the life in Marauders' Cave. In the morning they would go to the city with their horses to get daily needs supply and to help Kaluga with his job as a carpenter and blacksmith. Then they went back to their house in the afternoon with Arthan and sometimes Soryan who taught them more about sword handling. At night Remus and Sirius would teach him magic and in particular DADA. Some of the rangers sometimes dropped in to speak with them and told them their stories which were very interesting. Narda, Doran's son, was close with Harry and could often be seen with the youth in the meadow riding their mounts. He was happy to know that Harry would stay at his house for 3 days though he sympathized with Remus' curse.

Harry climbed down from his mount, a big black stallion which he named Shade for his black fur. His distinctive feature was the white fur shaped like a star in his forehead. The stallion was son of Blade, Burhan's stallion and Amalia, Doran's mare. He guided his mount to the stable and patted it for a moment before leaving him with 3 carrots, his favorite meal.

"Hey Harry, come in!" Narda shouted from his door entrance. "Arthan is here. He promised to teach us one of his sword tricks." Narda was a black haired boy with blue eyes like his mother, Asarea. He was 16 years old in Narwain 18 or in January, so he was 6 months older than Harry who was born at 31st July or in the month of Urui (An: Hope that I don't get it wrong, because this kind of thing make me confused).

Harry ran to him. This was one of the few things that could take his mind off of Remus' condition. It was still in the afternoon, but Sirius and Remus forced him to go now to Doran, before the 'change'. He could only hope his 'uncle' would soon get better and nothing went wrong.

In Marauders' Cave

Moony and Padfoot were silent. They were nervously watching as the sun started to set on the west. Padfoot gave his friend a concerned look as he saw him seemed to be thinking about something.

"Are you allright, Remus?" he asked in such a serious tone.

The werewolf turned to his friend and after a while he nodded. "I am, but something is definitely wrong," he tapped the table with his finger. Sirius shot him an inquiring gaze. Remus sighed. "I don't feel the usual numbness I've always felt before or after I became werewolf."

"That will be a good news then," Sirius was wondering why he acted in such a strange way over that.

"It is. But I don't know why I don't feel it," he said nervously. "It makes me nervous."

Sirius stared at him and came up with a reason. "Maybe because we're not of this world and the moon here didn't affect you much."

"Perhaps you're right…" Remus said.

They waited for the moon to rise.

…

…

…

The sounds of crickets broke out the silence of their surrounding. Sirius tapped his finger on the stone in front of him impatiently, while Remus looked at the dark sky boredly.

"Uh…" both looked at each other in confusion. The moon was already high in the sky, and yet Remus was still in his human form. "Not that I'm rude or something…but shouldn't you transform?" the dog animagus asked bewilderedly.

"The transformation isn't up to me, you know?" two confused orbs stared.

"…Right," Sirius clammed his mouth.

They waited and waited and waited and you get the gist…but still Remus didn't transform much to their puzzlement.

"Hey, it's just a thought, but do you think that the Valar healed your lycanthropy beside making us younger?"

"I don't know, but I don't think so," the werewolf scratched his head in confusion. "I can still feel the beast inside me. Perhaps I'm not influenced by the moon in this world?" he offered another explanation.

"It could be…it will be great if this is true," Sirius shrugged. "Look, why don't we sleep now? We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm pretty tired and it is cold here," he transformed into his animagus form and wagged his tail.

Lupin smiled at his friend. "Sure, will do, Padfoot," with that both men returned to their 'home'.

TBC…

I decided to change the scene of what happened to Remus, because of some reasons (and I found it pretty funny to see both men watched the moon confusedly). For you, the ones who haven't read the previous chapter 11 that I had changed, I'll tell you what happened to Lupin there. Remus still transformed into beast but the transformation is painless and he retained his human mind.

R&R!
