PAST

Remus' eyes never left Fenrir's as he stood there smirking, not even as he made to sit down by the wall. Remus gestured to Harry for him to stand up. Harry did so quickly, Remus grasped his hand tightly and wrenched Harry behind him protectively.

Fenrir snorted derisively.

"I can't hurt him yet,"

"And you're not going to," snapped Remus glaring at Fenrir.

Fenrir considered the younger werewolf for a moment before answering,

"You've never fought another werewolf before Remus,"

"So, doesn't mean I can't," Remus stated defiantly, but at the back of his mind the thought nagged. He was right, if Remus failed he was condemning Harry at the same time.

"We shall see then in…" he thought a while "…9 hours give or take."

Lily had awoken at the sound of the door being opened and asked the guard the time before he pushed in the bowls of food.

"Eleven o clock," was the short reply as three bowls skidded across the floor.

Quickly she realised the number of bowls and gazed around the room, panic starting to fill her entire being.

Remus and Harry were missing.

She roughly shook James awake, his eyes fluttered open and he gazed at her confused.

"Remus and Harry are gone," she said hurriedly before turning to wake Sirius.

Within 5 minutes all three were awake and considering where their companions had gone to.

"It must have been done quietly," mused James fiddling with the bottom of his tattered robes. The bruising on his chest was still quite vivid and he still gasped quietly when he moved too quickly.

"Otherwise we'd have woken up,"

Sirius and Lily nodded in agreement.

The door clicked and all stared at it intently standing up. Whoever it was they wanted answers from them.

A man with shoulder length black hair and a large nose walked in looking round quickly.

"Snape?" said James incredulously. Snape's eyes fixed upon the three prisoners.

"Well done Potter. Ten points to Gryffindor for an unexpected display of intelligence," drawled Snape lazily.

James scowled at him.

"Snape this is no time for school grudges," hissed Lily.

Snape inclined his head slightly in understanding.

"Why are you here?" Sirius asked abruptly.

"If you don't want to know the whereabouts of your werewolf and…son I'll just leave shall I," he said quietly before turning to face the door.

The group exchanged a desperate look before James spoke,

"Wait!"

Snape turned around slowly to face them.

"His name is Rem…"

"Shut up Sirius. Where are they?" snapped Lily looking imploringly at Snape.

"They are not far… just a little down the hall. Together."

Confusion showed on all their faces.

"Why?" questioned James.

Snape shook his head,

"I do not know. But I have been here too long already, I bid you good day,"

With that he swept out clicking the door closed behind him.

Harry sat uncomfortably behind Remus. It was nearing dusk and both he and Remus were very tense. The day had been spent practically in silence, Harry had attempted a few times to engage Remus in conversation to take his mind off the upcoming night.

It was not that he didn't appreciate what Remus was about to do for him, but the silence was unbearable.

"Do I have to be bitten to become a werewolf or will a scratch do it just the same?" Harry asked quietly attempting once more to break the suffocating silence.

Remus turned his head slightly to look back at Harry.

"You need to be bitten, but I'm not going to let either happen to you," he said soothingly.

"No…" jeered Greyback from his corner.

"He'll loose pathetically to me and watch helplessly as I rip you apart. Can't be made into a werewolf from that either,"

"Shut it," snapped Remus viciously.

Silence enveloped them again and Harry sighed, it had been a brief break in the silence if anything. The only things haunting his daydreams now were visions of Greyback mauling him to death.

Nightfall came and went and Harry noticed how both Remus and Greyback were shifting slightly, restlessly. All of a sudden Remus stood up and stood away from him.

This was it.

Harry had seen Remus do this three times already and he hadn't changed his routine yet, but Greyback, he was completely different.

While Remus had taken his robes off, Greyback had simply let his body rip through his.

Within seconds Harry was on his feet face to face with Greyback the werewolf.

His eyes were a yellow colour and were glinting hungrily. His fur was black all over and his teeth were bared for all to see.

Harry swallowed deeply and backed up against the wall, looking around for Remus only to discover he hadn't transformed fully.

Harry watched his life flash before his eyes as Greyback took slow, calculating steps towards him.

PRESENT

Tonks had shaken Remus from his nap.

"Remus," she moaned. Remus' eyes snapped open. The dream he'd been having it couldn't be true.

"You were shaking violently," Tonks mumbled biting her lip worriedly.

He smiled at her warmly, "I'm fine," he whispered. He walked over to the window to clear his head.

He remembered the dream clearly, him and Harry and Greyback in a cell on a full moon. He clamped his eyes shut and felt his heart stop as he remembered more…

Greyback in werewolf form closing in on Harry.

He opened his eyes slowly, fear etched in every part of his face.

Oh no.

A/N know it's short but look the next one's here too!
