Disclaimer: Maybe if I say it is mine then it will be...that's just wishful thinking, it's always belonging to her, O Great One that she is.

A/N: So this is a bit of nonsense I wrote from a prompt that simply said 'Write about a Day Moon'. So courtesy of my good friend Peanuts107 giving me the idea, this is what happened. I just thought it would work with Ginny for some reason...even though it should be Tonks. Hope you enjoy. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last one-shot.

Day Moon

Remus looked at this watch while sitting in the living room of the Burrow. He had at least six hours before transformation; he wrinkled his nose in disgust at the thought of the Wolfsbane potion waiting for him at home. He sank back into the couch wondering if anyone was around to play chess with. Ginny picked that exact moment to enter the room from the kitchen.

'Ginny, how about-' he stopped at the frantic shaking of her head while she tried to get her breath back. 'What is it?' He jumped up and pulled her over to the couch.

'Wolfsbane- now- eclipse- coming- four- minutes!' she gasped out between gulps of air. The colour drained from his face as he realised he'd not been checking up on his eclipse chart. 'REMUS!' she screamed frantically before grabbing his hand and Disapparated with him to his house.

Once in his house Remus got his senses back and raced out of his living room into the hallway and then up the stairs to his bedroom. 'Leave now!' he called to Ginny who he could hear following him up the stairs. She couldn't help it; she had to make sure he got his potion.

Panic filled Remus when he found the potion wasn't where he thought it was. He practically knocked Ginny over as he raced out of his bedroom and into the next room; his study. Darkness suddenly came over the house and Remus felt the first pain of transformation cut through him.

Ginny followed him into the study and saw him collapse. She frantically spun round looking for the potion; she found it on his desk. 'LEAVE!' he shouted in a voice so primal it shocked her to know it'd come from him. Ignoring him, she stepped over him and grabbed the bottle of Wolfsbane; it was too late. His transformation was complete.

Dread coursed through Ginny like a deadly poison and when she went to Apparate she found her wand was missing. She'd dropped outside Remus' bedroom when he bumped into her. She raced past the werewolf while he got his senses together and found her wand just a few feet away on the landing.

It all happened so quickly, he leaped and took Ginny down with such a force that she was knocked unconscious on landing. Licking his lips with delight, the werewolf readied to take his first bit of human flesh.

Remus groaned as consciousness tickled the edge of his mind. He rolled over, or tried to but something warm was preventing him. His eyes shot open and he found himself facing Ginny with blood trickling down her face. Blind panic hit him as he scrambled up and rolled the lifeless woman on to her back.

'Please, no,' he begged as he hurriedly checked every inch of her for a bite mark.

'OW!' Ginny suddenly yelped causing Remus' heart to skip a beat. 'Stop!' She swatted his frantic hands away before slowly opening her eyes. 'My head hurts.' Tears of relief stung Remus' eyes while realisation that the blood was coming from a cut on her cheekbone dawned on him.

'That was too close,' he wept as he bundled Ginny into a bear hug. 'I couldn't have lived with myself if I'd bitten you.' Much to Ginny's chagrin he suddenly held her back at arms length and shook her slightly with each word. 'How could you have been so stupid? I told you to leave!' Tears were spilling over his eyes, anger mixed with relief that he'd changed back before he could bite her.

'Remus,' she wailed and gingerly put a hand to her head, 'you're hurting me.' He froze to look at her, tears falling from her eyes. She gingerly sat up and touched her cut before looking at him. 'I couldn't leave you. I needed to make sure you were safe.' She smiled unsurely, her head throbbing.

You could have been killed!' Remus snapped causing her to flinch at his harshness. She looked around for her wand and picked it up before standing up. She looked back down at Remus before kneeling down to him and placing a hand on his cheek.

'I love you, that's why I stayed,' Ginny told him softly. She didn't wait for a response, she was just glad to have told him. She smiled and Disapparated. It would now be Remus' choice if anything was to happen.
