Thanks to whoever put me on their Favorite/Author Alert list!
Thank you to everyone who reviewed chapter fifteen!
Eva Lilac- Thank you so much! No one has ever said that before! That was so nice of you! It really made my day…oh and it inspired me to finish this chapter faster!
Hazelocean- how's this? r/r!
Dasani- only a little in this one, but I think it's one of my best chapters.
Chelles- Ally is completely in love-she is not insane. ;-P. Thank you so much for your help on this chapter! This one is dedicated to you!
Chikichiki- I'm sorry if this seemed like it took too long, I also hate when it takes too long…But what else could I do? Explanation at the end. r/r!
Jenny- I finally got this next one up, apparently I must have found a computer! ;-) r/r!
I'd like to take a moment to say that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was totally awesome. At first I was unsure of whether or not I liked it, but I thought about it and figured I did. But another thing I did was cry-a lot. Any ways, I don't want to spoil it for all of you who haven't read it yet but if you want to discuss the book with me, you can always email me…I'm ready for a good discussion, or if it gets to it, a good debate!
Also, this story will NOT change because of HBP. It'll be more of an AU. I'm probably half way done now with this chapter up, but can you believe it's been less than a month in the story? I just realized that. Anyways, enjoy! (I sure did while writing it.) A word of caution though; this chapter made me cry a little while I wrote it (I'm writing this note after already writing the chapter) so beware! Tell me what you think in a review please! Thank you!
Chapter 16Problem Solved?
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Allison Keeli Miller, you undo this shield right now!" Lily demanded, knowing it would be no use because nothing that was said outside the shield could be heard inside the shield but everything inside the shield could be heard outside the shield. Horror etched itself onto the faces of Lily, James and Sirius as they saw Allison walk towards the lustful werewolf possessed body of Remus.
"Dammit! What do we do? What CAN we do?" James started mumbling to himself while Sirius searched the room for any possible way of an escape for Allison. These were the reactions of two of the Ministry's best aurors, and one of their greatest teams. That wasn't very reassuring for Allison's well being at the moment.
- - - - - - Inside the Shield
Allison started to walk towards Remus' body. She saw his head move up and met his eyes. What she saw made her gasp. Nothing of Remus' eyes shone through the hardened wolf. Those eyes were not Remus'. 'Oh, boy, Ally. You've got more on your hands than you thought.' She thought to herself. She snapped back to reality when she heard a snarl. Secretly wishing that was only Padfoot, she turned around to face the body of the man she loved; she knew she was wrong since she couldn't hear anything outside the shield.
"Remus! Remus, it's me! It's Al! I know you can hear me!" she actually hoped that Remus could hear her, but it seemed nothing was getting through the mad werewolf. She needed to try a different approach, but before she could do anything, her wrist was grabbed in the most painful death grip ever…and it was cutting off her circulation. She could have used her wand, until he grabbed her wand hand like that. "Let me go!" she grunted as she tried to pry the fingers from around her wrist, or at least loosen them so she could wiggle out of the werewolf's grasp. With a surge of effort, she managed to achieve her goal and get his fingers off her wrist.
She quickly massaged her wrist to get the circulation flowing again. This made the werewolf mad. He quickly tackled her, sending her straight to the ground with a resounding "Ugh!"
- - - - - - With Dasani at the Girls' Flat
Dasani would have been able to help Allison simply by apparating to that room in the Boys' Flat…but only one thing kept her from going.
The fact that she had been drugged, drunk and sick all in one night and was currently blacked out on her side on her bedroom floor.
- - - - - - - Inside the Shield
Reasoning with him wasn't working. Allison looked at him with determination shining in her eyes.
"I know you're in there, Remus! You have to be somewhere in there, even if it's somewhere deep. You're still in there, and you're listening! I want you to know that I still love you, and I know you still love me too!" Her chest heaved up and down for air as she finished her speech. The werewolf let out a sound that sounded, to the three teenagers outside the shield, freakishly like a cruel laugh. He simply picked her up and threw her back onto the floor with apparent ease.
- - - - - - Outside the Shield
"NO!" Lily yelled as she saw her best friend being thrown to the ground like a piece of paper. "Guys do something! We've got to help her!" she screamed at them. This had been continuing for the entire time Ally had kept them out there, and it was beginning to get on Sirius' nerves.
"I've got it!" Sirius suddenly yelled. Lily's and James' attention was on him in a snap.
"What?" they asked.
"We discovered this spell." The other two looked at him as if he was mad.
"We know that, Sirius. Tell us something we DON'T know!" James said.
"I mean, every spell has got to have a weak spot, right? Couldn't we find the weak spot and penetrate the shield from there?" he pointed out. James and Lily started nodding their heads when what Sirius was saying dawned on them…but there always has to be one party pooper.
"With what?" Lily said suddenly. James and Sirius looked at her questioningly. "What are we going to penetrate the barrier with? If you haven't noticed, Ally has our wands!" Lily reminded them.
"Crap, I forgot!" Sirius swore. After a minute of thinking, he spoke up again. "We can transform!" He said. James caught on.
"We can use our animagus forms to help us get through the barrier! Right on, Sirius!" He said.
"Won't work. We can't leap 30 feet into the air and none of us can fly in our forms. What if it's at the top?" Lily asked. James and Sirius swore; Lily was right. Their heads snapped up when they heard Allison scream from being tossed again. Lily started freaking out…again.
"James, Sirius, please hurry! He's going to kill her if we don't do anything now. We have to help her!" Lily started out. That broke Sirius' last nerve.
"We?" Sirius started. "I don't exactly see you trying! Have you mastered wandless magic? Because if you have, by all means don't let me stop you! Be my guest! Take this shield right away!" he exclaimed harshly.
James tried to reason with Lily. "Lils, we're trying the best we can, but she did ask for it." Lily didn't want to admit that James was right but she knew he was. Allison did ask for it, but that didn't mean she was going to lessen her determination to help her out of that shield. The three of them continued to argue, in an, under any other circumstances, very comical way.
- - - - - -Inside the Shield
Allison picked herself up off the floor after being tossed like a rag doll for the fifth or sixth time; she had lost count after all the times her head hit the floor.
Seeing her get up again, the werewolf roared and jumped at her. Allison braced herself for the impending impact that was eminent. He was mad and she could feel it radiating off of his body. Trying to defend herself from further abuse, she watched as he advanced slowly, circling her as one would do for their prey before pouncing. He finally pounced. This time his target was her shirt, which he clawed at and ripped (A/N: I realize he already ripped off her shirt, but Lily summoned one of Remus').
"Remus, you're in there somewhere, remember? Don't you remember me? What about our first kiss? Or when we got Sirius and Dasani back together after Dasani had gotten so insanely mad at him and hadn't spoken to him for a month? What about all those times our friends teased us about one another before we got together?" Allison started rattling off memories of the two of them together and went down Memory Lane with him. "What about the time you tripped over Sirius' foot and fell directly on top of me during SLUGHORN'S NEWT EXAM?" she yelled with all of the wind left in her. She could see that it had somewhat of an effect on him until his body went rigid again.
With a loud and monstrous roar, he hit her again, sending her slamming into the wall and slumping down. Her body was very still for a second, causing Lily's eyes and face to fill with fear and her voice to catch in her throat. After a second, Allison moved again and shook her head lightly to get the room back into focus.
- - - - - Meanwhile Outside the Shield
Rone apparated into the room with a grin on his face, and his eyes showing the enthusiasm he held in his heart, ready to tell his friends how his date with Jade went. When he saw what was going on, one thought lodged itself in his head.
"What the HELL is going on in here?" he asked, running over to the three witnesses, who to him, just looked like they were arguing while letting what was happening happen. He got his answer as to why they looked like they were spectators when he bumped into a solid, invisible barrier. "Damn!" he swore under his breath as he got zapped momentarily.
Lily watched as he ran carefully around the barrier, so as not to get zapped again. "Rone! We have to help Ally! He'll kill her! Then when he wakes up, he'll kill himself!" she exclaimed in panic.
"What the hell is going on in here?" he asked her again. This time, Lily, James and Sirius started answering, all at once. Rone looked confused and tried to decipher what they were saying but to no avail.
"…the shield away!" Lily finished last, finally gulping a huge breath of air to soothe her aching lungs.
- - - - - Inside the Shield (last time)
When the werewolf saw Allison shake her head and look up, he howled in rage. Allison was bruised, battered and bleeding, but it apparently wasn't enough for him. He tried to ram her again, but Allison-sick of being tossed around-side stepped him for her own sake. The werewolf hit the shield and felt an enormously painful zapping sensation swim throughout his body. He howled as it struck him, this time howling in pain rather than frustration. Allison covered her mouth in horror as she realized that side stepping the attack had caused him to get injured and have to endure some pain. She ran to his side quickly, with some of her remaining strength and heaved him away from the wall of the shield.
Rigid, the werewolf backhanded her hard across the face. Allison's head snapped back just as the sun's first rays hit Remus' body and she fell unconscious just as Remus regained his own mind with a cautious word from his mouth as she hit the floor.
"Al?"
He knelt down quietly and took her gently into his arms. He shook himself of this fear and thought to himself, 'She might just be trying to get a rise out of me! Yeah, any minute now she's going to wake up and yell "BOO!" and laugh at my face!' It wasn't working. He couldn't rid himself of the fear lodged in his chest.
Shaking her gently, his whispered, "Wake up, Ally! Wake up!"
When her head just lolled to this side, terror filled his heart and body and limbs faster than the speed of light.
"Oh my god, what have I done? What have I done? Ally! Ally, can you hear me? Please! Please be all right! Please be all right!" he pleaded. He scanned her body. She had cuts and bruises all over herself and her shirt-actually he noticed it was one of his, not the one she was wearing the night before-was scratched up and ripped, exposing the millions more of cuts on her abdomen and the big bruise on the right side of her stomach turning its own technicolor rainbow.
"What have I done? What have I done?" he kept muttering to himself as he held her body close to his chest. (A/N: I wanted so badly to stop the chapter here, but I'm having fun and I think I made you guys wait long enough (though I do have a very legitimate reason!))
- - - - - Meanwhile Outside the Soon-to-Be-Terminated Shield
"Protego Leviosa! (A/N: I made that up, so no laughing!) Rone stated clearly, moving his hand in a series of intricate patterns to lift the shield.
- - - - - With them all
Remus looked up to see Rone, Lily, James and Sirius standing near the wall and quickly diverted his attention to Allison again.
Retrieving her wand, Lily quickly ran to Allison and Remus and kneeled down next to the couple. "Let her go, Remus." She whispered gently, placing a hand on his arm. "Let her go." She urged. He shook his head adamantly.
"No!" he exclaimed.
"I need to check her over, Remus!" Lily said this with a little more force than before. Remus kept his ground. Sighing, James pointed his wand towards Remus.
"Remus, I'm really, really sorry about this, but Stu-"
"No! Wait, James!" Remus interrupted. "I'll back off." He told them. Gently, ever so gently, he placed Allison down on the floor so Lily could examine her. He walked back, towards the wall and watched in horror as Lily started to put her back together. He was snapped out of his reverie when Lily waved her hand in front of his face. He saw her, James, Rone and Sirius looking at him expectantly.
"What?" he asked. "Is Ally okay?" He asked with hope in every fiber of his being. She didn't answer.
"Could you please turn around? I'm going to have to take what's remaining of Ally's shirt off to check for any fractured bones." She informed. He nodded and turned around with the other guys as she turned back to working on Allison. He realized as his body shook with emotion, that she didn't answer him.
"You okay, Moony?" Sirius asked softly.
"I just beat her! I just beat my girlfriend. It's not real!" he tried to deny it, but his efforts failed.
"You know it wasn't you, Remus. It's not your fault." James said, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. Remus just shook his head in disbelief and started freaking out. By freaking out I mean banging his head and fist repetitiously against the wall.
"Hey! Stop that, Remus! You'll get hurt!" Rone said, putting an arm around Remus to restrain him (A/N: I know how wrong that sounds, but work with me here). Remus did nothing to try and get out of Rone's restraint. He simply snatched Sirius' wand out of his pocket and pointed it at himself.
Before the others had a grasp on the situation, Remus had opened his mouth stunned himself with a clear
"Stupefy!"

Hey! I'm sorry it took so long to update again, but hopefully you liked it a lot and I have very legitimate reasons as to why I was so late in posting. First of all, I was reading HBP which took me 12 hours total, then I went on holiday for 10 days and 2 days later had school, so yes Wednesday was my first day of school.
