A/N: School has officially started now, so it'll be an even longer wait for chapters, I thought I'd tell you that right off the bat. I was disappointed with the lack of reviews for the last chapter, especially with the immense cliffhanger. I guess I lost a lot of readers, which makes me feel a bit less in the mood to write when I can.

So if you're still reading this story, would you please review, even if it's the first and last time you'll review, I'd just like to get an idea of how many people are still actually reading it...

Lily opened her eyes once more as she heard the cry of the werewolf. There was now a large stag smashing his antlers into its hairy chest. Lily felt her throbbing arm, there was blood streaming down from it.

She ran as fast as she could back to the castle, Remus was on his own now. She felt badly that she couldn't get to him in time, but at the moment she felt that she had bigger fish to fry. Such as, how she was to raise her infant when she was a werewolf, as soon as she reached the doors she threw them open and ran up to the Hospital Wing, but there was no one there.

She collapsed on the floor in front of the infirmary doors, sobbing hysterically. There was no living a regular life now, as if she didn't already have enough problems to worry about.

She heard footsteps, but ignored them and buried her face farther into her arms.

"Whatever is the matter?" asked a short woman with a cheery voice. It was Madame Pomfrey.

"I-I was bitten," Lily replied, sobbing even harder.

The old medi-witch helped pull Lily up onto her feet and opened the doors. Lily fell over onto the nearest bed, whimpering.

"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you tonight other than give you a sleeping potion. I'm out of anything to treat werewolf bites. I'll have Slughorn brew a potion for you and by the time you wake up you'll feel better. Then, we can get you registered," the nurse said, bustling about in her nightgown and looking for a potion.

Lily refused to take the sleeping potion though. She had to think things through. The research team she led at St. Mungo's was just starting on potions for werewolves, and there wasn't a cure as far as she was aware of. She thought of all the things that should be available, and she just wished that she could be back at work, leading the way. Now there was no hope of that. She had been bitten, she had no career now, she would be fired. With these thoughts she fell into a restless sleep.

The door opened an hour later and in walked James Potter, he was limping. He had consulted the map and it had shown Lily was here. He hoped that she was ok.

She was tossing and turning in her sleep. James heard her muttering.

"Have mercy...not Harry," she mumbled, "James!" she screamed.

James watched as Lily started to shake, and he quickly woke her up. She was drenched in a cold sweat.

Lily jumped when she saw James towering over her.

"You were having a nightmare," James said, lying down next to her.

"Was I? I don't remember anything," Lily replied, "And I'm falling off of the edge now." James pulled her closer to him, so that she wouldn't tumble over the side.

"What are you in here for?" James asked.

Lily gasped, and even in the dark James could tell all the blood had drained from her face.

"I was...bitten by a werewolf," Lily replied, the tears came back.

"What? How?" James asked.

"I went on the grounds to find Remus and warn him that there was werewolf, it was stupid, I know, but I didn't want to see him get hurt! Then it was there right in front of me and I closed my eyes and felt something tear at my arm, and the werewolf cried out. When I opened my eyes again there was this brilliant stag fighting him off so I ran," Lily replied.

James started to laugh.

"What do you think is so funny about that? I'm a werewolf now, oh it's horrible! Harry is going to hate me and you're going to leave me, and I won't have a job, and-" she started, but James started to kiss her.

"Let's go back upstairs to the common room where I can explain in private," he said, still laughing when they broke apart.

He helped Lily up and they walked very quickly up to Gryffindor Tower. They tumbled into the common room, as if they were being chased.

Lily sat down next to the cradle. Harry was back in it and Sirius was lying on the couch next to it, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. James hit him softly on the back to wake him up, and Sirius jumped up.

"What was that for?" he yelped.

"We have some things to explain to Lily, Padfoot," James replied, hoping Sirius would get it. He did.

"She ran into Moony, didn't she?" Sirius asked.

James nodded, "And Prongs."

"I want to know what the bloody hell you're talking about," Lily demanded angrily.

"Fine, when we were in our fifth year at Hogwarts we became Animagi, Sirius is a big black dog, Peter is a rat, and I'm a stag-"

"The stag?" Lily asked.

James grinned and continued, "We became Animagi so that once a month we could go down to the Shrieking Shack and-"

"What about Remus? What was he?" Lily asked.

"Remus was...the werewolf," Sirius replied, "We'd go down to the Shrieking Shack to be with him during his transformations."

"And you weren't bitten Lily. One of my antlers caught your arm, that's why you've what happened when you thought you were bitten. I'm sorry. I saw you running out and I went to the Map to see where you were heading, and then I saw Remus' dot and remembered that it was the full moon. I was so glad I made it in time to stop any permanent damage," James said.

Lily's eyes widened when she heard that Remus was werewolf. "Sirius, I don't know what James has said to you about this, but I was wondering if you would be one of Harry's godparents. If we die I would like Remus to look after him, but once a month I would want you to take him," she said. Sirius nodded.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Lily," James said warningly.

James woke up that night to Harry crying. It didn't seem as if Lily was waking up anytime soon, in fact she wasn't even there. He dragged himself out of bed and over to Harry's cradle.

"You really have got to stop this," he muttered. Harry wailed even louder at the sight of James.

"Looks like we're going for a midnight walk then, baby," James said, pulling the infant up from his warm bed.

James felt déjà vu, as he was roaming the halls of Hogwarts in his pajamas once again. He never thought that he'd be living in Hogwarts again after he graduated. As soon as they were in the halls, Harry let his crying drop down to an occasional whimper. He looked a bit scared when Nearly Headless Nick floated out from a wall and nearly into James with his head falling off, but Harry didn't cry.

James started to head down to kitchens to see if the house-elves could round up a bottle of milk for Harry when he ran into Severus Snape.

"Watch where you're going Potter," he said.

"Watch where you're going Snivellus, you could've hurt Harry," James replied angrily.

"Oh is that what you've named the brat? It sounds very...muggle," Snape said with his perpetual sneer growing.

"You forget that he's Lily's child too," James said. His eyes narrowed as he watched Snape's sneer fade away.

"Lily made a mistake in loving you, Potter," Snape whispered. James could see the hurt in his enemy's eyes.

"Jealous still?" Sirius asked. He came up behind Severus with his wand drawn.

"What are you doing at Hogwarts anyway?" James asked.

"I could ask the same of you and Black," Snape replied, he looked a bit frightened with Sirius' wand pointing at him.

"What are you doing?" asked a female voice. Lily had also come up behind them, "I thought that you were through with tormenting him, James!" she yelled.

"I wasn't doing anything, he ran into me! Do you see my wand drawn?" James yelled back. Harry start to whimper at the sound of his parents fighting. Lily ran off then.

"Good job, Potter," Snape said with a laugh.

"I wouldn't be laughing. We're on to you, Snape. You're under investigation as a Death Eater, I'd watch my back if I were you," James said, and glared at the greasy wizard.

"I'd watch my back if I were you, Potter," Snape retorted. He turned on his heel and walked off, his robes billowing out behind him. Harry was still crying.

"Let's go find mummy, shall we? You look hungry," James said to Harry. The baby giggled in turn.

A/N: Once again, if you just read that please review so I can tell how many people are actually reading this, it would be very much appreciated. I hope you all enjoyed it! Lots of explanation though, not much excitement. Oh well.
