Here is chapter 6 for you as I promised you yesterday.
Megan POV
"What are you doing here?" Remus asked me sharply. "You promised me you wouldn't help Sirius and you have been lying to me for months." I felt myself shrink to the size of a mouse under his angry gaze. "How can I trust you now?"
"He is innocent." I said back quietly. "I had to help him." I single tear escaped as I realised that our relationship could be coming to an end, I didn't want that. "I'm sorry." I said, choking slightly on my words.
"But what if you had been caught?" He said in a kinder voice. "I don't want to lose you Megan." He reached forward and caressed my cheek.
"I didn't get caught though." I said quickly. "And I know you don't believe that he is innocent..." I began but Remus cut me off.
"I believe it now." He said calmly, it seemed that all his anger towards me was gone but I wasn't sure He was really good at covering it up, even on the night of the full moon. "I saw Pettigrew's name on the map."
"The map?" I cocked my head to the side.
"The map that James, Sirius, Peter and I made while still at school. Harry somehow came into possession of it." I smiled as I remembered the map and how Remus had used it to come and find me. "Anyway. When I saw Pettigrew's name on it I realised that you were right about him framing Sirius and came out here to help. I know you lied to me but I understand why, that doesn't stop me from being annoyed though, you have still betrayed my trust." I looked down and fiddled with my thumb nail.
"Sorry." I muttered. "We need to go to the Shrieking Shack though. Sirius is in there with Pettigrew and who I assume to be Harry and his two friends. He looks so much like James." Remus nodded.
"I know." He said before taking my hand in his and leading me into the entrance to the Shrieking Shack after calming the giant tree.

With Remus leading me to the Shrieking shack it reminded me a lot of when we were at school together, things had been so simple back then.
As we reached to top of the stairs Remus pulled out his wand and ran into the room we heard voices coming from. He disarmed Harry and pulled Sirius up off the floor into a hug, I came in just behind him when the frizzy haired girl screamed NO!
"I trusted you." She shouted at Remus. I received quick glances from the three Gryffindors, none of them had seen me before so I wasn't surprised, but then they looked back to Remus and Sirius. "And all of this time, you have been his friend." She snarled. I took a step forward into the room. The girl swallowed as if she was considering saying something and then raised her hand to point at Remus. "He is a werewolf, that is why he has been missing classes." I watched as Remus' face paled and decided to step in.
"And what my I ask is wrong with being a Werewolf?" I said stepping forward to Remus' side. The three teenagers looked surprised that I had said anything at all Harry opened his mouth to say something but Remus spoke up first.
"How long have you known." He asked the girl, stepping forward.
"Since Professor Snape set the essay." She replied with a shaky voice.
"Well Hermione, you really are the brightest witch of your age I have ever met." Remus snapped. I stepped forward and grabbed his hand in mine to calm him.
"Remus calm down." I said sharply, snapping him out of his anger, he can't help it. The full moon is in a matter of hours.
"Who are you?" Harry asked stepping up to me. I couldn't help but smile at him.
"My name is Megan." I introduced myself. "I'm your godmother."
"She is a werewolf too Harry." Hermione muttered to him. I turned quickly to her.
"How the hell did you know that." I said. "Do you know everything?" From behind her the red head laughed a little.
"Shut up Ronald!" She shouted at him.
"It's is kinda true though." He laughed.
"Ron this is serious." Hermione turned back to me. "I noticed your scar." She said gesturing to the bite mark on my arm that was easily visible because I was wearing a tank top. I nodded.
"Don't judge us on our Lycanthropy." I said. "Please." Before she had a chance to respond Sirius began to shout.
"Enough talk guys, let's kill him!" He had that look of madness in his eyes once again.
"Wait!" Remus ordered.
"I did my waiting." Sirius yelled and even I thought he had lost it. "Twelve years of it, in Azkaban." My heart reached out for him and I reached a hand forward to calm him but he slapped it away. Remus sighed.
"Very well, kill him. But wait one moment Harry has the right to know why." He said and we told Harry, Ron and Hermione everything. About the fact that Peter was the Potter's actual secret keeper and how Pettigrew had framed Sirius, but of course nothing runs smoothly and we were visited by Severus half way through our explanations. Thankfully we dealt with him quickly and brought Pettigrew out of his rat form by force. I felt sorry for Ron but it had to be done. Just as we were about to kill him Harry stopped us and persuaded us to take Peter to the castle.
On our way through the passageway, Remus and Ron were ensuring Pettigrew didn't try to escape, Hermione was walking just behind them, and Severus was floating just behind her. This gave Harry a chance to catch up with me and Sirius, his godparents.
"Ok." He said after a while. "I understand why Sirius hasn't made any contact with me but why haven't you Megan? While I have been living with the Dursleys you have never owled me once." I sighed.
"When your Parents were killed," I began. "I fought to have custody over you. I thought you should be raised in the wizarding world with people that would love you, like Remus and I, but because of our Lycanthropy the ministry wouldn't allow it. They said that you wouldn't have been growing up in a safe environment." I sighed again.
"Well that isn't fair." Harry said quickly.
"I know. They warned me not to contact you until you were a member of our world again and after that I didn't because I figured your life would be more complicated if you had a godmother you weren't allowed to stay with." I looked over to Harry and smiled slightly. "I am sorry if that was the wrong decision." He shook his head.
"I won't hold you against it. You did what you thought was best. I am just glad that we have finally met." Sirius rejoined our conversation then, asking Harry if, when his name was cleared, he would want to go and live with him. I couldn't help but envy him because I wasn't able to offer the same thing as I would have liked.
We neared the exit to the passageway and climbed out. I looked up to the sky and remembered the full moon. "Oh shit." I muttered under my breath. "Remus, the moon." I shouted, "Have you taken your potion?" I never heard the answer, the first of my bones began to break and I crumpled to the floor and cried out in agony. I was only vaguely aware of Remus' transformation happening metres away. The usual steps to my transformation took place as I screamed and cried and then it was over. I had the body of a wolf but my mind remained intact thanks to the potion I had taken earlier today.
"Don't worry about Megan." I heard Sirius say. "She has taken the Wolfsbane potion, she is safe. But Remus..." He trailed off as Remus howled to the moon and began to approach Harry, Ron and Hermione. I glanced at them and then at Sirius before pouncing on Remus to draw his attention away. Sirius changed into a dog and joined in fighting to keep Remus away. He was scratched along his front leg as I continued to bite and scratch. I knew it had to be done but fighting Remus was never something I had wanted to do. I could taste his blood in my mouth as I sunk my teeth into him once again.
I heard a howl in the distance and my first thought was that I would have yet another werewolf to keep away from everyone but as Remus bounded off towards it and I followed I saw Harry and Hermione looking a lot more scratched up than before.
I stopped dead in my tracks. How on earth did they get here? They were just back there and now they were here. While thinking this through, I hadn't noticed that Remus had them cornered. I ran to their aid but unfortunately for Remus, a hippogriff beat me too it. He ran off, further into the woods and I followed.
To sum up the rest of the night, I worked to keep Remus away from the castle to prevent him from harming anyone and it was bloody exhausting too because he wouldn't stay still for five minutes.
Eventually though, he settled down and went to sleep. I lay down a short distance away, not to sleep, but to keep an eye on him. Both of us were covered in scratches and bites from fighting but that didn't matter. The important thing was that nobody besides us had gotten hurt.
Ok so that was my take on what a persons mind is like when they have taken the wolfsbane potion. As I see it, without the potion they can remember nothing of being a wolf but with the potion they are fully aware of everything going on and can control the wolf body therefore making them not dangerous.
By the way, I have decided now who Remus will be with in the end... But I'm not going to tell you because I am evil like that. Thank you everyone who had voted, your views have been considered. :)
See you in the next chapter which hopefully won't be too long away.
