Chapter 30: Voldemort's Power part III

"Oy, I never want to hear about another wedding ever again. Its murder on your mind…any your feet." Faith said kicking off her high heels and slumping into a chair. The chairs and tables were all that remained of Sarah and Remus's wedding. They had of course left and gone to their suite.

"It wasn't that bad." Sirius said.

"Wear these for almost 4 straight hours and tell me it wasn't that bad." Faith said kicking the heels towards him. Sirius laughed and fell down in the chair beside her. Faith gave a tired sigh and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Tired." She muttered. Sirius nodded his head.

"We're getting married!" James exclaimed happily as he and Lily came in from outside holding hands tightly. Sirius and Faith just turned their heads slowly in their direction.

"Are you…serious?" Faith said slowly. The two nodded and exchanged a quick kiss. Apparently they were unable to wipe the silly grins off their face.

"I guess I could go for another 7 months without sleep." Faith muttered.

Severus and Sirius immediately began to run in the direction of the scream, despite the burning pain in their lungs and feet. The two stopped at the very edge of the pit. They looked down and saw Remus growling and pacing back and forth in the pit. In the pit with him they saw Faith.

Prior to the scream

Faith attempted to jump the pit. Remus jumped after her, his growl getting louder. Faith almost made it but Remus bit down into her leg. The weight of Remus on her leg was too much for Faith. She let out a loud scream of pain and began to fall backwards into the pit. She managed to grab onto an edge but Remus just held onto her leg dangling there. Faith tried to shake him off but that only caused Remus to bit down harder into her leg. That's when Faith slipped and fell into the pit just as she heard the sound of running feet.

Lily Evans stared at the ceiling. She knew it was the middle of the night but she couldn't get to sleep. Lily sat up and leaned back on her hands.

"Faith!" She whispered sharply at the large lump off in the darkness. The lump groaned and rolled over.

"What?" Faith asked groggily and half hanging off her bed.

"I can't sleep." Lily whispered.

"Well you need to. You have a wedding you kinda have to attend to in 14 hours, you being the bride and all." Faith whispered as she looked at her watch and tried to stifle a yawn.

"I know. I know. I'll try ok?" Lily said. Faith nodded and rolled over falling asleep quickly. Lily sighed and stared back up at the ceiling. The past 6 months following Remus and Sarah's wedding had been hectic. James and her had been very busy planning their wedding. The first thing they had done was set a date, April 7th. The guest list had been all planned out and the arrangements where all made. James and Lily were to get married on a grassy field. Off in the distance would be the reception area which would have dozens of wild flowers growing around it and a big beautiful white tent over it. Even Petunia with her fiancé was coming. Lily smiled and sat up in bed wondering what James was doing.

"I can't believe your getting married." Sirius said as he, James, Peter, and Remus all relaxed on a couch.

"It is a little unbelievable." Remus put in. Peter was quiet and just looked up at the ceiling.

"And I'm marrying Lily." James said with a smile.

"Yup." The three others said in unison.

"Just think…after us…we have to find Sirius and Peter wives." Remus said to James with a smile.

"I can do that on my own thanks." Sirius muttered.

"Get this bloody thing off me." Faith said through gritted teeth as Sirius and Severus came running into the room. Sirius and Severus raced around opposite edges of the pit to Faith. They both reached her at the same time. Severus whipped out his wand and pointed it at Remus. With a blast of purple light, Remus let go of Faith's leg and fell to the bottom of the pit. He quickly got up and began prowling the bottom, growling and snarling as he did. Sirius grabbed Faith's hand and pulled her up and to him.

"I'm going to kill Remus when he changes back." Faith said through gritted teeth as she clung onto Sirius's neck in a very painful standing position.

Sarah walked to Dumbeldore's office. She gave the password and began up the stairs. When she entered the room Faith, Sirius and Severus were already in there. Faith was sitting and bandaging up a very nasty looking leg. Sirius sat next to her watching attentively and Severus stood with that usual snarl on his face. Dumbeldore sat at his desk.

"Please take a seat Sarah." Dumbeldore said with a grim look. Sarah nodded and took a seat next to Sirius and Faith.

"The reason Remus turned into a werewolf is because of Voldemort. Voldemort is realizing some of the many powers he has now. He can transform people into werewolves before their time if he concentrates hard enough. This is just him trying to get more supporters. We must watch Remus and Voldemort more closely. I fear that Voldemort will really try and get Remus away from the Order." Dumbeldore said sadly and crossing his fingers. The four nodded grimly and left the room. Well, Faith hobbled out of the room and straight for the hospital wing.

(A/N: Sorry it is so short. I planned on it being twice as long but I remembered I was leaving for the weekend so I just typed what I could.)
