January 23, 1972

Raina had the routine for full moons at Hogwarts down pretty well.

She told Lily and their other girlfriends that she had to get home to visit her mother, but she was actually going to the Hospital Wing so Madame Pomfrey could help her get ready.

When Raina walked into the Hospital Wing, she heard Madame Pomfrey sternly say,

"Mr. Potter needs to rest. Out of here, the both of you, now."

Potter? What could have happened to him?

She hid behind a corner as Sirius and Peter left.

Raina walked in as Madame Pomfrey was closing the curtains on James' bed.

"Ah, there you are", she said quietly. "I'll be with you in a moment."

Raina nodded, fidgeting a little.

Madame Pomfrey came back a couple minutes later. "Let's go, then."

Raina felt her legs start to ache. Her shoulders as well.

As she followed Madame Pomfrey, Raina couldn't stop thinking about what could have happened to James.

He didn't play Quidditch yet - first years weren't allowed. Could it have been a prank?

What could it have been?

Before she knew it, she was alone in the Shrieking Shack.

Raina closed her eyes and braced herself for the pain she knew was coming.
