The Marauders In Trouble
Chapter 6 Prongs And Padfoot Damaged
Remus was looking was very worried, he was walking up and down the hall. Peter was standing in the corner, petrified. It was Lily who had shouted. Madam Pomfrey shushed her angrily.
"WHAT!" She shouted. "How did that happen?" She looked up at Remus. He was cracking knuckles. His dark rims shadowed his eyes. He had missed his friends during the full moon.
"I don't know..."
"I think you do know, Remus!" She almost snarled at him. "But you are not telling me."
"It is not my secret to tell, Evans." He shouted back.
She was taken back. It wasn't like Remus to shout at her. He would never call her Evans.
"When will they come in?" She asked.
"I don't know..." He stared at his feet.
They were waiting anxiously, since Dumbledore had told Remus and Peter about Sirius and James being found in an alley, bleeding and unconscious. A party of several people came inside.
"Coming Through!" Someone shouted.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get Out!" People were shouting, as two stretchers came in. Remus was dumbfounded, as he gaped at the two almost unrecognizable bodies that were lying limp on the white sheets, which were blood stains. Lily clasped a hand to her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock. Peter Pettigrew was petrified in the corner. Madam Pomfrey locked the doors, Remus and Lily were knocking at it crazily.
"No!" he shouted. "Please no...!"
He stared at the room. It was like they were dead. Remus was tapping at the door, shouting.
"NO! Please!" He was sliding on the ground, rest his body against the door. "No!" His yells echoed in the halls. Tears fell down his thin and bony cheeks. He was crying. He was sobbing like a little child. His hair in his hands. He flinched. "No!" He screamed.
His hands were shivering.
Peter was so shocked, he was petrified in his place, he was shivering. Lily sat down with him. Her hand was still on her lips, it was shivering uncontrollably. He calmed down for a few seconds, and then he stood up again. He was almost punching the wooden doors, which was rattling now.
"Let me see them!"
He was angry. He realized something, and he started to run.
"Remus!?" Lily called after him, as Peter followed.
He ran past the doors, and ran past the Gargoyle, and shouted.
"Prongs Killer Antlers..." Tears poured heavily down his face. "Padfoot Scratchers."
The door opened at once. Dumbledore was standing, and talking to one of the other headmasters. Remus Lupin took the chair infront of him, and threw it on the ground. He came forward, taking the ornament from the desk and smashed it on the wall.
"What is the matter with you!?" He shouted.
"You know...They are like my brothers," He shouted again. "Haven't they suffered enough! James's parents are in captivity! Not long ago, he screams in his sleep. The horrors of the work you give them give him recurring nightmares! He is constantly rejected by the girl, he is blindly in love with...Since he met her!"
Lily's mouth opened in shock.
"And Sirius!" Remus continued angrily. "What more damage you could do to him! His parents tortured him, threw him out of the house! Haven't you known it? He was on the streets! He was dying when he was tortured...James took him to the healers!"
