Woes of the Moon:
OMG!!!! Thank you so much for all of your reviews! I didn't expect to get so many! Thanks so much to all my reviewers; you guys ROCK! Sorry it took a bit to write this, school started again so I've been spazing all week long trying to find random stuff that was scattered around the house...
Disclaimer: Bla, bla, bla... You know the drill; JKRHarry Potter's true owner.
So here's the chapter! Sorry it's so short I know everyo ne wanted the next chapter...
Ruined life:
'Oh my god...I'm going to die...'
Lily had given up all hope. The werewolf stood before her, and she knew there was no chance that she would live. The werewolf would tear her apart. And no one would even know how she had died...
The wolf-man jumped onto her. She let out a scream and desperately tried to fight it off, but it was no use. She was in so much pain; the wolf was clawing and biting at her. She could feel her blood leaving her body... It wouldn't take long before she'd lose consciousness...At least then she wouldn't have to suffer...
Lily woke up in a bed much later. It was the light that woke her up. She kept her eyes closed, but tried to sit up. She immediately regretted this; her head was throbbing painfully and every part of her body was in pain. She cried out in pain.
"Shhh, Miss Evans, please don't try to move," said the voice of the newly appointed Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore, "you'll only make it worse."
Lily slowly opened her eyes. When they had adjusted, she saw that she was in what appeared to be some sort of hospital. Other than Dumbledore and herself, the only people in the room were Professor McGonagall, and Remus Lupin.
She suddenly remembered what had happened before.
"What happened? Why am I still alive? Where did the werewolf go? How did I get here? And how did you-"
"Miss Evan! Slow down! I'll explain everything as soon as you calm down!"
She took a deep breath and tried again.
"Okay, I'm calm. Where am I?"
"St-Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries," Dumbledore answered.
"I see...What happened?"
"I can tell you..." said Remus almost too quietly to hear. He looked terrible, he had large shadows under his eyes, which were red and made him look like he had been crying. Maybe he had been...
"Alright, then go on Remus," Dumbledore told him encouragingly.
When he didn't reply, Dumbledore started again.
"Would you prefer if Professor McGonagall and I left you both alone?" he asked.
Remus nodded without looking up at anyone.
After a final glance at Lily with his sparkling blue eyes, Dumbledore left the room, followed closely by McGonagall.
Remus stayed silent.
"Remus?" said Lily tentatively.
"It was me, Lily," he said, hardly louder than a whisper.
"What was you, Remus?"
"I was the one who attacked you...I'm a werewolf..." he said, quieter still.
"What...?"
"I swear I had no idea what I was doing! During the full moon I don't know who I am, I'm a different person, the wolf takes over... There's nothing I can do to stop it," he said, tears building up in the corners of his eyes, "I wish I weren't what I am. I'd rather be dead then here in front of you because now thanks to me, your life is ruined... It's all my fault. My fault for being who I am."
He took a seat of the edge of the bed; tears were running down his face. Lily put her arms around him.
"It's alright, Remus. Everything is fine, you didn't ruin my life, I'll be fine in less than a week..." she told him comfortingly.
"No, Lily! Everything isn't fine," he cried, pulling himself out of her arms, "I don't deserve to live! I've ruined your life! You're like me now.... I bit you, you're a werewolf now. I've ruined your life!"
"Wha-what? I'm a werewolf...?"
There was a silence between them. Lily was completely at a loss of words.
'I'm a...a...werewolf?'
Now, I just want to say, I'm really really really sorry it took a whole week to update, I know I said I'd update soon but it's only the 1st week of school and I'm already swamped with homework (that homework including a French essay and an Art project)! I've already started on the next chapter, so it shouldn't take long before Ch.4 is up! Again, much love to my reviewers!!
See those buttons down there? Tell me what you think and if I should go on! (No haters :P)
NOTE: I know that Dippet (or w/e his name is) was the headmaster of Hogwarts before (according to Tom Riddle), but I find that Dumbledore is much better so in the story he's the "new headmaster" (he was appointed as headmaster at the start of that year).
SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION!
