After this chapter there is 4 more. Almost there. This is the longest story I have written so far. I'm proud of myself.
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. I love them a lot.

Night 20: Awakening
Silver trotted through the halls not going anywhere particular. Everyone else was asleep and he was bored. So, not knowing what else to do, he walked the halls. The bell rang and he found a corner to sit in so he wouldn't get trampled on. Silver hung his head when he spotted the mudblood and the weasel, hoping that they wouldn't see him.
"Ron, look, isn't that the wolf from the other day?"
'No such luck.' Silver thought as they walked over to him.
"No. Dante's bigger and his eyes were gold not gray. Now come on Herm."
"But Ron. Look, he's burning up with all that fur." Hermione said transfiguring a bowl and spelling some water in it.
Silver tilted his head then realized that he was indeed panting like his life depended on it. He watched as Hermione set the bowl down. Glanced at her, then Ron, and then back at the bowl before drinking from it. For once he was thankful for the mudblood; the water tasted great. The wolf barked his thanks before trotting off down the corridor.
"Wait up boy." Hermione called out and jogged up to the wolf, "Where re you going?"
Silver stopped, looked back up at her, barked again, and continued on his way. He was aware of the two Gryffindors following but didn't really give a damn; he was only going to the Infirmary to check on Remus for Sirius. The doors to the Hospital Wing were closed so Silver couldn't get in and he couldn't transform in front of the Gryffindors. So he whined, scratched at the door, and smirked when Hermione opened the door for him.
"There ya go boy."
Silver walked in and pushed open the slightly ajar door to Remus's room. He looked over his shoulder before trotting over to the bed and putting his front paws on the side of it.
"Oh Remus." He heard Hermione gasp and looked over at her to see her hands over her mouth and her eyes wide.
"No wonder DADA classes were canceled." Ron stated.
Silver whined as Hermione walked over and placed a shaky hand on the werewolf's shoulder. She looked over at the white wolf.
"You know what happened don't you?"
The wolf lowered his head and whined placing a paw upon Remus's other shoulder.

A thirteen-year-old Remus sat on a four-poster surrounded in darkness. He had been here for what seemed like years, rocking back and forth and whining quietly to himself. Remus had always had a fear of the dark and of being alone.
He looked up and froze. "Who…who's there?"
"It's me Moony. What's wrong?"
"P-Prongs?" Remus whispered, tilting his head to the side, not daring to believe it.
James walked over and sat down beside his friend. "Yeah. What's wrong Moony?" he asked again.
"I'm scared Prongs, I can't seem to wake up, no matter how hard I try." Remus whispered resting his head on his knees holding back tears.
"Don't worry." James moved to lay on his side. "You'll wake up soon."
"But when? I miss Padfoot and I'm scared."
"I can't say exactly when but it's real soon. Until then though, you'll just have to deal with the company of a friendly stag." James smiled warmly as Remus chuckled.
"Okay, I guess I can work with that."
Remus layed on his side and snuggled with his friend. He sighed and closed his eyes, smiling when James held him close. "I missed you."
"I know you did."
"Thanks for being here Prongs. I hate being alone."
"You are never alone Moony." James moved to look at the werewolf. "I'm always here for you, I always have been and always will be."
Remus nodded. "I know, but I felt alone before you showed up. I never want to be alone."
James didn't say anything, just pulled Remus to him. He chuckled when his friend tried burying himself in his chest. They layed there for awhile, listening to each others breathing, and enjoying the others company. Remus grunted when James sat up and watched as he nodded at something. He tilted his head when James stood.
"What is it Prongs?"
"Listen Remus." James said turning around and looking at the werewolf. "Relationships will be torn apart, realizations will become clear, and sacrifices will be made." He leaned down and hugged his friend. "Now it's time to wake up."

Remus's eyes fluttered open. He winced at the bright light in the room and groaned.
"Moony?"
"Padfoot." Remus's voice sounded croaky from lack of use.
"You're awake." Sirius said tears framing his eyes as he leant down and softly kissed his lover.
Remus gave a soft smile. "What a wonderful way to wake up from a horrible experience."
"Oh Moony." Sirius layed his head on the werewolf's chest. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you too."
"Get up here and lay down before you break your back."
Sirius did as he was told without moving his head. "I missed you Moony." Remus smiled. "I missed you too."

Harry walked down the hall from Gryffindor Tower after talking to Ron and Hermione. He had almost missed their constant bickering. Almost. The vampire sighed. He had yet to feed and he was getting hungry.
"Oh hi Draco." Harry said with a smirk as he passed Silver.
Silver transformed and walked beside Harry. "How did you know?"
"The others told me."
"Oh." Draco paused for a short moment. "So you don't care?"
Harry stopped and faced the blonde. "Does it look like I care Draco?"
"No." Draco shook his head and smiled.
"Alright then." Harry went to continue down to the dungeons but turned back to Draco. "Can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Spare some blood."
Draco shrugged. "I guess."
Harry smiled his thanks and pulled Draco to him, holding him with one arm around his waist, he tilted Draco's head and bit into the flesh. The Slytherin clutched to Harry for a good bit before going limp. Harry licked the wound to heal it and carefully layed Draco on the floor.
"You're not going to leave me here are you?" he asked sleepily.
Harry shook his head. "I need for you to transform if you can. Don't want to take the chance of Lucius being down there and seeing you."
Draco closed his eyes and transformed, opening them again when Harry draped him over his shoulders. What are you doing?
"Carrying you. You should sleep."
Silver let his head slack and was almost instantly asleep. Harry checked a few minutes later to see the wolf's mouth agape and the long, canine tongue hanging out of its mouth slightly. He couldn't help but chuckle at how Draco would seek revenge if he were to tell anyone how adorable it looked.
