Chapter 14: A Year Has Passed

Sirius's POV

I was out side with James. We were waiting for Remus and Peter to get back.

"So James when do you think they be back?"

I said to him. He smiled at me.

"I don't know but they should be back soon."

Then there was the sound of something running towards us.

We both pulled out our wands and pointed them at the spot were the noise was coming from.

Then jumps out a huge ass wolf. It didn't look like it was about to die. The wolf was covered in blood and dirt.

It walked towards us then fell over. Then it started to change back into a human. "James its Wicked!"

I yelled as I ran over to her. She was bleeding bad and it looked like she hasn't eating in months.

"Help me James. We need to get her in side and owl Dumbledore."

We carried her into the house and laid her on the couch then covered her up. She was barely breathing.

Lily came in and froze.

"What happened and who is that?"

James was sending the owl and I looked over at her. As I tried to stop the bleeding.

"Its Wicked and we don't know what happened to her."

I said in a rush. She ran over and tried to help me.

Then Remus and Peter came in. Remus took one look at her and knew it was Wicked.

He rushed over and started to help. I don't know how long we were at it.

But then Dumbledore came in.

"Move away let me look at her."

So we moved away to let him look at Wicked.

"Sirius pick up Mercy and follow me."

I picked her up. She was so light that it wasn't even funny.

I followed him to her old room. I placed her on the bed.

"I need you to go to the school and get Madam Pomfrey fast. And tell her to being some potions for healing and sleep."

After the said that I ran out of the room and headed for the back door.

We were waiting in the sitting room. For almost ten hours.

Peter was looking nerviest guess he was worried about her dying. When Madam Pomfrey came and started to work on Wicked.

She was screaming and speaking in different languages. Lily was crying the whole time.

She cried her self to sleep in James's arms. I was pacing back and for worth.

When the screaming stopped we didn't know if that was a good thing or not. Then Dumbledore came out.

We all got up (James had to shack Lily up). Dumbledore just looked at us for a while.

He didn't say anything and that is never good.

"Is. . .is. . .is she died?"

I said to him. A smile formed on his lips.

"No she is fine for now. We got the bleeding to stop. She is sleeping now and there is a few things I need to tell you about her."

We all sat down and waited for Dumbledore to go on.

"She had been through hell and back. A few time at the look of her. She is going to need some time to get better. Mercy hasn't had a good meal in god knows when. So make sure there is a lot of food in the kitchen. Mercy has a lot of broken bones that healed wrong so we had to re-break the bones again. Madam Pomfrey did some test and she has been raped."

When he said that I was on my feet. If I ever find out who did that to her.

I was going to kill them.

"Please sit down Sirius."

I sat down.

"What she has been through. No one here will ever know and I hope no one else will know that. She wont be the same Mercy we once knew so give her time. She will wake up screaming so don't go in there. I know you would want to check on her. But don't she might think she is still there. For your own safety you shouldn't go in."

I couldn't believe this. Wicked will be having nightmares and there is nothing I could do.

"When can we see her?"

Remus asked. I looked over at him.

"Give her three days then you can. I have to get back to the school. Keep me posit on her. Madam Pomfrey will be come over three times a day to check up on her. So their wont me and reason for you guys to go in there. Do you understand me?"

We nodded our heads. He didn't want us in there till she got a little better.

I left the room and headed for my bed. I laid down and closed my eyes.

I kept seeing her laying in the grass naked and bleeding. Lets just say that night I to was having nightmares.

Of what might have happened to her. . .
