For The Love Of Sirius Black

Note: I don't own them. The characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Though I would love to bring Remus and Sirius home with me.

Note 2: This takes place immediately after the last chapter.

Chapter 8- Flashbacks and Nightmares

When they had gotten Lita up to Sirius' room they immediately began working on all of her injuries.

"The cuts on her wrists and arms won't mend. I think they could be from some creature or worse a curse." Remus said.

"Do you know what kind of curse or creature?" Sirius asked.

"No. Better to ask her when she wakes up."

Sirius sat with Lita and cursed himself for letting her go. Though he knew that she did not have a choice, he cursed himself. She did not have a choice and now she was laying in their bed, bleeding and unconscious. Bruises that were visible before were now a darker shade of bluish- purple and new ones were starting to form. Cuts that were healing were scarring her beautiful skin. Her black hair was matted with dry blood. 'Lucius will pay for this. He will pay.' Sirius thought to himself as he took Lita's hand.

He did not want to leave her side but he also knew Harry needed him as well. As he realized this he heard a soft knock on the door, "Come in." Sirius said.

The door opened and in slowly walked Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Fred. They all gathered around the bed not taking their eyes off Lita, "Why was she really gone, Sirius? Who did this to her?" Fred said his voice cracking trying to get the words out.

"She was doing something for The Order. She was to spy on Lucius Malfoy. He caught her and tortured her." Sirius said not looking up at Fred, "Fred I'm sorry. I should have said something then but Lita has told me she does not wish to be afraid of Lucius anymore and that was the reason she went."

"I don't need you to apologize to me. I know the risks of this fight. It is just Lita is like a sister to me. I love her." Fred responded.

Then another voice entered the conversation, "Sirius are you alright?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Harry I am fine. I just wish that she were awake and this did not happen." Sirius said looking at him.

Harry knew that Sirius loved Lita and he was happy that she was with him. Harry and Lita were good friends as well. Ever since Harry first told Lita that he had almost fed his cousin to a python, they had been friends. She was always looking out for him, Ron, and Mione. She had made sure that Sirius was protected after he left Hogwarts his third year. She had done all of this and she never asked anything in return and now this selfless person was lying her beaten and unconscious.

Harry knew he could do nothing at the moment and he sat in a chair beside the bed. Ron and Mione sat on the sofa across from the bed and Fred sat on the bed, Mione pulled out a book and began to read while Ron and Harry talked about whatever they could think of. Sirius finally turned to all the kids in the room, "It is late. You all should go to bed."

They all nodded and quickly left the room. Sirius went over and sat on the couch. He knew that tonight Lita would not wake up and it was late and he needed sleep. So he laid down on the couch and tried to sleep. All the time thinking about how Lita was laying on the bed unconscious. He knew it wasn't his fault but he couldn't help but to feel that it was.

THE NEXT MORNING

Sirius woke and looked over to the bed. Remus was sitting there with Lita, "She woke up earlier this morning. I had come in to check on you and she was awake. You were sleeping and she ordered me not to wake you." Remus said.

"Sirius. I'm so sorry. I tried to stop them. I did not tell them anything so they put me in a room with Fenrir Greyback. He wasn't transformed but he did things to me. Then I woke up in another room and Lucius was there and he told me he was going to do to me what he did to my parents only he was going to break me first. Then he left the room and I apparated out of there and flew back here." She said as she started to cry.

Sirius walked over to her, "There is nothing to apologize for. You were strong. You did not break. Greyback will pay for what he did to you."

"I know he will."

"Remus can I talk to you outside for a moment please?" Sirius asked.

"Sure." Remus said following Sirius out of the room. They walked down the hall a bit so they could talk, "what will happen to her?"

"I don't really know. He wasn't transformed so she might not change. I can't be sure though. At the most she will have wolf like tendencies around the moon and maybe all the time." Remus said trying to reassure Sirius.

"It wouldn't matter to me. I love her. I will still ask her to marry me. I will take care of her." Sirius said.

In that moment Remus knew how much Sirius loved Lita. He saw it in his eyes, heard it in his voice. Lita was lucky. She was loved fully by Sirius.

LATER THAT DAY

Remus went out to see Severus and asked him to help find answers to the problem that Lita was facing, "She was attacked by a werewolf that was not transformed?"

"Yes but I have never heard of these cases." Remus said.

"There was one case. They did not transform but they were very aggressive during the full moon. The rest of the time they had slight changes, in their eyes mostly." Severus said.

"Thank you." Remus said.

"Look she will need the wolfsbane potion every month now too. I'll make enough for both of you."

"Thank you again." Remus said apparating from the spot.

TBC……

Should Lita be an exception to the rule and transform?

New relationships are forming should it be

HGXGW or HGXNT

RLXNT or RLXOC that will introduced in the next chapter.
