James hadn't come back and Remus was worried. It was way past evening and the stars weren't to be seen.

Sirius looked up at him, feeling disgruntled that he hadn't listened to James the first time.

At about three o'clock that afternoon, Dumbledore had come in, holding on to Lily, who hadn't looked too shabby.

"Remus, relax…. James will be here shortly," he said, honestly believing in that.

"But he's been gone for longer than he should have been, even in his animagus form…" Remus muttered, finally sitting on the couch and throwing his back.

Something happened, he thought, I want to know what occurred.

James was still in stag form, keeping an eye on Snape, who was still lying where he tripped over the root.

The moaning had stopped about fifteen minutes before and Snape's chest now moved in a rhythm that signaled sleep.

James changed quickly into his human form, cautiously walking forward to check on Snape's leg.

The only thing that looked out of place was his foot, and that looked almost as though it had been broken.

There was only one thing for it… he had to bring Snape up to the hospital wing.
