A/N: Blink gurl017, thank you for you kindness and I'm glad that you are enjoying my story. I'm very sorry for the long wait for this chapter, but once I got back from Maine, I had to help my brother pack for college and then I had to get my school stuff ready too. I know that this is short, but I thought you would rather have a short chapter than no new chapter at all. Again, sorry for the wait.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, nor the plot (Remus/Ginny) or the title (Not Another Teen Movie) , so I guess you can say that I'm not a very creative type of girl. :-)
If you had told Ginny that she would be sent to the past she'd say you were nuts and if you had told her that she would have a crush on her old Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, then, she'd probably say that you were beyond mad. Yet, there she was, in the 1970's with a crush on Remus Lupin. She didn't know when her crush had started, it just had and school would be starting soon, a thought that filled her with even more happiness.
Ginny wasn't one of the students who hated school. In fact, she was one of the few kids who liked it. Well, she used to like it up until her fourth year when Collin Creevey asked her out over fifty times. It seemed Ironic to her, at least, that she wanted to go to school because of a boy instead of the other way around, but maybe she was wrong. Ginny never had a boyfriend, and after Tom, well, their weren't many that she trusted, so maybe her whole situation wasn't so strange after all.
Ever since Diagon Alley that Remus had started to act differently. Clingy? Maybe? No, not really, it was more that he tried to stay away more. Or was he just trying to be overprotective, like Ron. Whichever it was, or whatever it was, she couldn't tell. She never could.
Outside the Gryffindor Common Room a full moon shone brightly as it contrasted against the darkness of the sky. No stars could be found, but they weren't needed, the moon was efficient enough. The air was fresh and crisp and the low chirping of crickets could be heard. From somewhere deep within the forest the soft hoot of an old barn owl rang in the rather quiet darkness. A loud howl sounded off as if on cue to cut out the peace. Glancing out a nearby window Ginny knew the truth. She knew that somewhere out there, the shrieking shack probably, Remus was crying out in pain. He had been so pale the last time she had seen him. His brown hair was messy and his dull grey eyes seemed even duller than normal.
Shaking her head and slowly getting up Ginny made her way toward the portrait hole and out into the corridor. As she felt the cold floor beneath her feet, she realized that she had not put anything on her feet. Brushing that thought out of her head she made her way down the long hall, all the while thinking about Remus and what it was like to be a werewolf.
Halfway down the hall, and more alert, Ginny broke into jog, then a run, and finally a sprint. When she got to the huge wooden doors of the Great Hall she slowed to a stop. As she pushed the open the doors Ginny felt a rush of adrenalin. 'What am I looking for? Surely not Remus?'
Now standing a few feet away from the entrance to the Great Hall, Ginny kneeled down on the grass, getting her navy blue pajama pants covered in dew. Closing here eyes she cut off all connections to the world and concentrated on one thing and only one thing. Tightening her muscles, her bones ached as they stretched and grew. Finally the aching stopped and was followed by a tingling sensation. Turning her head, she appraised her work. Her beautiful ruby red hair was now white with brown spots. A perfect and beautiful snow leopard
Sitting on her haunches, she sniffed the air, once, and then twice. 'blood, wait I smell blood' her head cried as she sprinted off toward the sent. Into the Forbidden Forrest Ginny tore, fearing what she might find. As she made her way through the tangle of old rotting trees, she heard a small moan and a cry for help. 'Remus!' Running faster now, Ginny cut across the rough terrain and over to where a semi-conscious Remus Lupin lay. Surveying the brutal damage, Ginny whimpered and rested her head by his ear. Nudging him slightly, she tried to get a response, but none came. Again she pushed him slightly with her head, but nothing happened. 'What to do? What to do? Madam Pomfrey! Of course!' Gripping lightly at his hair she used a magic "power" she never knew she was capable of. Shimmering out of the forest with Remus next to her, she soon found herself in the Hospital Wing.
"My God! What is going on here?"
Turing around Ginny looked over to see a shocked Madam Pomfrey. "S-Something attacked him,"
Madam Pomrey nodded and turned her head from Remus's lifeless body toward Ginny. "Go run and tell Professor Dumbledore what has happened to the best of your ability, and also tell him about how you... appeared here.
Running off, Ginny did what she was told.
