PAST

As Remus hobbled over to him, Harry had got up to retrieve Remus' robes. Returning quickly he unfolded them and placed them around the shoulders of the werewolf laying in front of him.

As the sun hit him Remus began to change back. Not nearly as painful as when he transformed into a wolf, almost a kind of relief swept over him. He pulled his robes around his shoulders gratefully and turned to Harry

"Thanks," he mumbled. Harry grinned at him.

"Thank you," he emphasised the last word.

The wounds on his leg, throat and back seemed much more real now that he was human and he gasped slightly as he leant against the wall.

Staring over in Greyback's direction they were faced with a naked man curled up on the floor. Apparently the pain of a broken leg was too much for him and he was now unconscious and breathing lightly.

The door clicked and Remus tensed up his vision was becoming blurred at the amount of blood he'd lost but he strained his eyes to see. Voldemort and few Death Eaters stood behind him, Peter was amongst them.

"Well well Mr Lupin you've proved yourself more than capable as a werewolf," congratulated Voldemort clapping his hands together and stepping into the cell. Peter followed and suppressed a gasp when he saw the state of his friend.

"Mr Potter not bitten I see," Voldemort had seized Harry's chin and was now twisting his head this way and that checking for injuries,

"Pity," he murmured releasing Harry as he said this.

"Episkey," he uttered pointing his wand at Greyback's leg and Remus watched as the bone he had snapped slipped back into place and Greyback groaned slightly.

"Peter take Mr Potter with you to where I asked and…improvise." Peter nodded hesitantly and grabbed Harry roughly by the arm and pulled him up.

Remus stared on, he was exhausted and in a lot of pain he couldn't fight back now. He made a half hearted attempt to grab on to Harry's arm but he wasn't quick enough.

Voldemort came to a halt in front of Remus and leered down at him,

"Greyback certainly did a job on you didn't he?" Remus glared up at him.

"Take him back to his cell," he finished looking over at the Death Eaters by the door.

Remus watched as two Death Eaters seized him by the arms and pulled him up ignoring Remus' gasps of pain.

They led him down a dark corridor but Remus barely noticed and was frantically beginning to wonder where Peter had taken Harry. They reached a door and the Death Eater on his right arm muttered a few words and the door clicked open.

Lily, James and Sirius were awoken by the door clicking open and they gazed at it when a person they recognised was thrown in unceremoniously.

"Moony?" questioned James.

But Remus wasn't listened and had thrown himself against the now closed door banging on it furiously with his fists.

"Give him back. Let him go," he yelled repeatedly growing gradually weaker every time, tears streamed down his face.

"Oh God Moony," James said again rushing forwards as Remus fell back on his feet looking utterly defeated and extremely pale.

James all but picked Remus up and dragged him towards Sirius and Lily placing him against the wall. Remus kept his eyes on the floor.

"What happened?" asked Sirius quietly.

"Peter stunned Harry and I," Remus replied thickly.

"Greyback was put in the cell after we'd woken up…and as you know it's a full moon,"

"Remus you didn't…" Sirius mumbled. Remus looked at him for a while and Sirius put an arm round him but froze as Remus gasped.

James' face contorted into an angry scowl and he pulled Remus' robes up, as Sirius withdrew his arm to see it glistening with blood.

Remus vision grew blurry again and he groaned slightly closing his eyes.

"Remus did he?…Did you…?" but Lily couldn't seem to find the words as she took in Remus' mangled back, she could see blood coming from underneath him and figured he was injured elsewhere.

Remus opened his eyes slightly blinking quickly to clear his vision, he nodded slowly at her.

"But I've been injured before…at school," he muttered quickly making to get up and gasping slightly when he tried to put weight on his leg.

Sirius seized his leg and pulled the trouser up carefully, what he saw made him gip and certainly didn't make Remus feel much better.

"That's true Moony but when you were injured at school that was me and Padfoot and we only hurt you to restrain you. This was meant to kill you," managed James quietly, pulling Remus' top back down slowly, there was nothing he could do.

Remus smiled at him grimly and pushed his trouser leg down and quickly laid down as dizziness clouded his vision once again.

"I just need to rest," he said simply.

Lily, James and Sirius frowned at him.

"Where's Harry?" uttered Lily quietly. Remus sighed heavily.

"Peter took him…I don't know where or why…I tried to stop him but… couldn't," managed Remus taking deep breaths as he spoke.

The three friends exchanged a worried glance and stared down at their injured companion. Resting was the only thing they could let him do.

PRESENT

Remus watched as the sun rose over the Forbidden Forest, today was the day of the rescue. He sighed and walked across the room to wash his face in a small sink stationed at the far side of the room.

"Morning." Remus heard Tonks call from the bed as he dried his face. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Have you slept at all?" she questioned anxiously taking in his pale face and dark bags.

Remus shook his head quickly,

"Not really, haunted by memories," was his short reply.

Tonks bit her lip and quickly got changed as Remus stared out of the window again. She walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist snuggling her face against his back. He stroked her arms and looked down at her.

"We've got a few hours you know before we need to leave you could take a nap or some…"

Remus hushed her and put his finger gently on her lips.

"I'm fine, I can sleep once Harry's safe," he reassured her quietly.

Tonks raised her eyebrows at him and slowly nodded resignedly.

Five minutes later and they headed towards Dumbledore's office, where they were to meet for breakfast before leaving for 1980.

"Good morning Remus," Dumbledore greeted him cheerfully as he entered Dumbledore's office with Tonks.

"And you Nymphadora," she smiled at him.

"I trust you slept well…" he trailed off noticing Remus' face. Dumbledore hesitated,

"Erm…well help yourself I've got toast…bacon…eggs," he gestured towards a table by the window laden with food, and made a quick exit to greet the rest of the party.

Tonks quickly picked up some bacon and bread and began making a hasty bacon sandwich. Remus smiled at her faintly before pouring himself a cup of tea and sitting down with it quietly.

"Oh no…" managed Tonks swallowing her food quickly and glaring disapprovingly at Remus, he looked up at her innocently.

"You need more than just that," she tutted at him, Remus opened his mouth to protest and in doing so offered an opportunity to Tonks and she stuffed what remained of her sandwich into his mouth.

"There. You can't have no sleep and no food. You'll collapse," grinned Tonks heading back to the table to fix another sandwich for herself.

Remus glared at her, the remains of Tonks' sandwich hanging from his mouth.

He mumbled something at her through his sandwich and she turned to face him slowly, raising her eyebrows.

"What did you say Remus John Lupin?" she asked warningly, trying to hide a smile that was tugging ceaselessly at her lips.

He spat out the sandwich on to the floor and stared up at her,

"I said, I'm not hungry," he too fought the need to smile at Tonks' now shocked face.

"You. Need. To. Eat," she said menacingly walking towards him slowly.

"Make me," he replied watching as she walked straight in front of him, and swallowed slightly.

Tonks grinned down at him and Remus suddenly regretted his last line.

Dumbledore was just leading Bill, Arthur, Charlie and Ron Weasley, along with Hermione to his office. This was it his final rescue team, he decided on letting the two youngsters join in because just like Remus they had a lot of determination to find Harry.

He sighed quietly as he pushed open his door and was greeted by a peculiar but nevertheless an amusing sight.

Remus was laid on the floor and was being straddled by Tonks. Round them were plates of various food including toast, bacon, tomatoes, baked beans, cereal and porridge.

Tonks was levitating food towards Remus in an attempt to get him to swallow and when he refused she was simply letting it fall on him. He was covered…literally.

When they noticed Dumbledore standing there they both stood up quickly,

"Professor…" muttered Tonks quickly,

"I was er…" she cast a sideways glance at Remus and desperately fought the urge to wipe his face as a baked bean hit the floor.

"…helping Remus decide what he was hungry for,"

"I see you found a few things," Dumbledore stated.

Dumbledore smiled at them both slightly and stepped aside to let the people behind him in, who on setting eyes on Remus fell about laughing, Dumbledore rolled his eyes.

A few minutes later and everyone was seated happily and Remus was, amazingly clean although he kept finding the odd baked bean lodged in odd places such as his ear or nostril.

"Right then in a few minutes you will leave for 1980 to retrieve Harry," said Dumbledore staring round the faces in front of him.

"He is in the Riddle House and you will all need to port key there first in order to arrive in the correct place in 1980,"

Remus' eyes snapped up to meet Dumbledore's. Remus had never thought about where Harry was being kept. The unasked question hung in the eerie quiet of the office, before Dumbledore graciously answered it.

"I re-questioned Mr Malfoy last night and offered him protection for information."

Remus nodded slowly and got up at the same time as the others as Dumbledore opened a drawer a pulled out a teaspoon and a time turner.
