Ch. 11
Severus and Siria neared the room. All was silent in the darkness. As they stood in front of the door, Severus got in front of Siria and knocked on the door. No one answered. So they stepped inside.
As they peered around the shadowed room, they noticed a large figure lying on the bed. It was the werewolf. Severus stayed in front of Siria as he tried to think of what to do. He stepped back, only to squeak a loose board. Both Siria and Severus' eyes looked up to see two more eyes staring back. The two continued to back up as the werewolf neared them slowly. It looked at Severus and Siria, then grabbed Severus and threw him aside. Siria kinda squeaked as she watched Severus fly across the room. The wolf looked at Siria and saw her necklace. Then it howled, grabbed Siria, and ran off.
Severus jumped to his feet, started to chase him, then realized that he wouldn't be able to stop him as a human being. He glanced around the room for something. Then he spotted a dog sleeping near the bed. Severus walked over to the dog and kicked it on its side. The dog jumped up, looked at Severus, looked at the bed, paused for a moment, then ran out the door. Severus then transfigured himself into a cobra and followed.
Down in the Forbidden Forest, the werewolf continued to carry Siria away. Siria was beginning to worry. She looked at the werewolf's neck and noticed a collar around it. She wondered what it was as she realized that she was in the Shrieking Shack. The werewolf sat her down gently on the bed and curled up at the foot of the bed. Siria glanced out of a crack in a window and noticed the sun was coming up. She also noticed the many largescratches she obtained from the journey there. But then, as a beam of light hit the werewolf, Siria noticed that he didn't transform back. She moved closer toward the werewolf, which just stared back at her, and examined the collar. Realizing what she had to do, Siria used the Black Stone to try and remove it. After using all her energy to remove the collar, she collapsed.
The werewolf slowly started to transfigure back into Remus Lupin. He looked at himself, then looked down to see an unconsious Siria on the floor. Suddenly, he had the horrific idea that he bit her. Then a dog with a cobra on its back rushed into the room. The two transfigured back into their human forms, with Sirius collapsing under Severus' weight. Sirius looked at his sister, then at Remus, also having the same idea. Severus glanced at both of them, then kneeled down next to Siria. He looked at the scratches, but couldn't find any teeth marks on her. Remus took a sigh of releif as he heard Severus' confirmation that he didn't bite her. Then they continued to carry her up to the school to let her rest.
