A/N: So here we go with chapter five. Thanks to all the people who have put this story on alert :D it makes me soooooooo happy you have no idea. BUT onto the chapter, this one brings in a bit of torture/pain. That's my only warning to you. I actually am liking this chapter and how it turned out, so reviews are even more important! I'd love to hear some ideas! I'm thinking that within the next 2 or 3 chapters they'll be headed off to Hogwarts. I mayyy introduce Lily in before...who knows. PLEASE gimme some feedback!!!

The room was made entirely of rough stone blocks. There wasn't a single item of furniture, and there were no windows. The door slammed shut and they knew that any hopes of this being a pleasant meeting were gone.

Because they knew that they were in huge trouble, AJ and Sirius slowly turned to their mothers, faces filled with fear. Their mothers' faces were images of pure fury. There was no way they would get out of this meeting unscathed. After what seemed an eternity, Mrs. Jenkins broke the silence.

"How dare you?!" she shrieked. "How dare you disgrace us and your entire family!" She breathed heavily for a moment and AJ took this as her chance to attempt to save the situation.

"Mother, I- "

"Don't even think about interrupting me you ungrateful little bitch!" Mrs. Jenkins raised her hand and slapped her across the face. AJ brought her hand up to her cheek and failed in an attempt to keep down tears. "That is your problem. You are weak! You cry over getting slapped, you are a pitiful excuse of a daughter. Of a Jenkins! You'd be better off dead!" Then the word both children had been dreading slipped from her lips as she raised her wand to point at AJ. "Crucio!"

For a moment it looked as if AJ was holding it back as her jaw clenched tighter and tighter in an ugly grimace, but all too soon her mouth opened and she released an unearthly scream. She began trembling. Her eyes were glazed over as the pain of ten thousand white-hot knives pressed into every square inch of her small fragile-looking frame. She fell to the ground, as her body's ability to control itself was lost. Tears were pouring from her eyes and her breath was coming in ragged gasps.

Sirius watched horrified as this continued for many long minutes. Finally when it seemed that AJ would no longer keep her sanity, Sirius gained enough courage to speak up, "Mrs. Jenkins, please, please stop! She won't stay sane if you don't. Her life will be over! You'll have to have her housed in Saint Mungo's. I'm begging you, please stop Mrs. Jenkins!" He began to feel tears stream down his own cheeks as he witnessed the torture of his new friend. He saw her slowly becoming less and less responsive. The pain was too much for her body to handle. Only the spell kept her conscious. "Mrs. Jenkins!" he yelled.

The yell was enough to make her lose her concentration and drop the spell. AJ quickly fell unconscious now that she was released. Sirius ran to her and fell to his knees beside her. "AJ, please, please be ok," he murmured. "You can't let those fucking bitches we call mothers beat you!" He was merely rewarded with a groan from AJ as she began waking. Then he felt a hand grip his ear in a bruising hold. He was dragged to his feet.

"You think that you'll get away with interrupting Loraine do you boy? I believe you're past due for your turn. You are as much of a disgrace as that little bint. Crucio!"

Sirius barely had time to draw a breath before the pain was upon him. He tried to hold in the screams as pure agony tore through him. His skin felt as though it was tearing back from his bones and his organs felt as though they wanted to squeeze through his flesh. The pain was more immense than he had ever felt. This was worse than any of his past punishments. He just wanted to die. It seemed like the pain would never cease and he felt himself beginning to go unconscious. He fell to his knees but before he could fall to the ground two small hands grasped his shoulders and helped lay him back carefully upon the course stones.

AJ watched in fury as her friend was subjected to the same treatment she had received. Her eyes flashed once, twice and then flamed red. As Sirius's eyes glazed over she threw herself to her feet and forced her traitorous body to support her weight. "Stop! Right now! I swear you stupid ugly bitch I will slap you if you don't stop immediately!" she tried to yell, though her hoarse voice would only go to a slight whisper. AJ stepped forward slowly, but could not stand the exertion. She fell. As she dropped she grabbed onto Mrs. Black's arm, dragging the woman off balance. This small act was enough to release Sirius from the spell, though AJ only had enough time to see Sirius fall unconscious before the murderous women both turned their wands upon her. Once again AJ was forced to endure the effects of "Crucio" though this time was ten times worse as two separate people performed it at once.

AJ's head felt as though it would split in half. She so desperately wanted to leave the pain behind that she begged aloud for the women to just kill her. She constantly begged, "Please, kill me! Just kill me!" The pain was too much. She was past tears. Her body began shutting down; her nose bled, her ears went deaf, her eyesight was lost. There was nothing left. Even her sense of pain was fading. She was going numb, and she welcomed it. Suddenly the burning stopped. The pain was gone. The women had stopped the spell and she fell unconscious.

Sirius was staring in horror at AJ. He had become conscious just as they had stopped the spell. They had quickly left telling him to watch over the "little bitch." He dragged his body over to AJ's unconscious form. "AJ? AJ don't leave me," he begged, his already ragged voice cracking. "I need you here. Whatever happens I'll stay and watch over you. You don't have to worry. Everything will turn out ok in the end." Ten minutes later AJ groaned and her eyes slid open a crack. Suddenly they shot wide and she jumped. Frantically she began waving her hands in front of her eyes. Sirius grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes prepared to smile. Then he gasped. Her eyes were dilated farther than he had thought possible. He could barely make out the rings of color around her pupils. They were pale yellow, nearly white. He had no idea what was wrong. Was she blind? "AJ! AJ, I'm here! What's wrong?"

Slowly she croaked, "Wh- who is th-" she coughed, "this? I- I can't see! Why can't I hear? Where am I?" Her voice became stronger as her fear grew.

Sirius's eyes filled with tears as stroked her hand trying to comfort her as her pupils slowly went back to normal. She still couldn't hear, but fifteen minutes later her perfect vision had returned. Tears streamed down her own face as she realized who held her hand. He helped her to sit up and she immediately threw her arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder. All of a sudden AJ drew back, swiping at her tears frantically.

"If you DARE tell-" she began.

"Don't worry. I won't." She visibly relaxed. Moments later they realized that AJ was still lying in Sirius's arms. She blushed and pushed backwards, but Sirius only tightened his grip. He continued sneaking odd glances at her for a while.

Finally AJ could stand it no longer. "Sirius, do you have something to say?" AJ croaked.

Sirius jumped. "Well, no, yes, um yes."

"Well which is it?"

"I have something to ask you."

"Yes?"

"Will you," he paused. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

AJ looked up shocked for a moment, and then she smiled nervously up at Sirius. "Sure."

Sirius grinned down at her happily and they stayed like that for a while. Then they heard two sets of heels click down towards their lone room.

The two children scrambled to their feet, but stayed within an arm's reach of each other. The door flew open and in walked a small house elf. They sighed in relief. Then their mothers walked in. The two women smirked evilly.

"Well, well, well looks like you two are a bit more comfortable." Mrs. Black hissed.

"And yet I doubt you two will behave any better." Mrs. Jenkins said with disgust.

"Well of course we can fix that. You first? Or me?" asked Mrs. Black.

"I think we should do it at the same time."

"Good idea."

"3…" The women raised their wands.

"2…" They aimed them at Sirius and AJ.

"1…" Sirius and AJ each took a step backwards, eyes widening in fear.

Robyn and Remus

"Remus?" Robyn exclaimed in shock.

He looked away and then began to convulse. Worried, she ran forward and fell to her knees grabbing onto the bars, only to fall backwards went he turned his head letting loose a deep growl.

"You- you don't want me to come near you?" she asked shakily.

He stopped growling and lowered his head. Suddenly he began shaking again. She watched as he grew more fur and his face's shape began to be altered. With pity in her eyes she was forced to sit back and watch as he bit at his own arms as they too changed shape. It seemed like much longer, but she sat there with him throughout the entire hour long transformation.

As soon as the transformation was complete, he sat up sniffing the air and he turned toward her. She watched from the other side of the iron bars as the huge wolf stalked toward her. All of a sudden he made a leap for her, shoving his jaws as far forward as he could. She leapt backwards as his fangs closed on where she had been sitting right next to the bars. His ethereal howl echoed through the dark hallway. Then he launched himself at the walls, before beginning to run faster than anything she had ever seen before around his small cell. His sporadic, ferocious actions continued throughout the night as Robyn sat watching him with rapt fascination.

It was just before sunrise when she realized that his actions had switched from that of a crazed predator to that of a puppy trying to show off. He started watching for her reactions to what he did, and repeated those actions that she seemed to find entertaining. He even went so far as to attempt to roll over for her. This however was brought to a halt as the shuddering began again.

Again Robyn watched on as he went through the transformation, this time back into a human. When he finally was back to normal he looked up at her with tears in his eyes.

"Remus what's wrong?"

"Aren't- aren't you afraid to be around me? Why aren't you leaving?" he stammered as the tears started flowing down his cheeks.

"Remus Lupin, do you really think that low of me? Just because you have a little bit of a problem doesn't mean I'm just going to go running away!" she cried.

"A little bit? A problem? Robyn, I'm a werewolf I am dangerous! I could hurt you!"

"I believe I just sat through an entire night where you didn't hurt me."

"Only because I was on the other side of these bars!"

"I don't care. You are my best friend. I won't give you up that easy."

"Don't say that! Never say that! I don't- you have to go! I don't want to be responsible for hurting you, ever. One day you might not meet me with bars in between. It's just not safe. I shouldn't have even let us be friends this long. We're going to have to leave each other alone one day anyways.

Robyn moved up to the bars and held a hand through them toward him. Nervous and confused he reached up shakily and took it in his own.

"Remus. I swear to you, I am not going anywhere."
