Chapter 6
Everything seems to slow down; he couldn't believe what he is seeing. He didn't even have time to react to anything, he felt helpless. He watches as she saves her cousin but by doing that she draws a deatheaters attention on to herself and away from Hermione who the curse is meant for. That is when the lacero (the cutting curse) is cast; when her back was turned and that is when it hit her, Coward!
He notices it wasn't the normal cutting curse that aurors use but this type is tainted with powerful dark magic. He watches her bright pink hair quickly change to her natural brown has she falls to the floor face down.
He noticed that all the deatheaters had stopped; he knew they had been told not to harm her because she had the magic that their precious dark lord needed.
Remus also notices that a blonde haired deatheater looks concerned for the pink haired now turned brown haired witch. Remus bends down and gently turns her over; the brightness in her eyes has almost faded.
She gives him a weak smile "you deserve to be loved and to be happy Remus."
He picks her up gently in his arms "ssshhh, you'll be alright Dora. I promise." He apparates to St. Mungo's but as he looks down at the witch in his arms and he realises that her eyes are now closed.
A mediwitch and team of healers rush over and take Dora from him. They quickly take her away to assess the damage done to her. Remus sits down in the waiting room. He places his head in his hands. He lets the tears fall down his cheeks.
He hears footsteps; he looks up and comes face to face with Sirius. "How is she?" Remus shakes his head "when we arrived her eyes were closed and they just took her."
Sirius sits down next to him "you know who showed up and possessed Harry but we managed to get him out of Harry. He's fine, he's sorry that Dora got hurt."
Remus runs his fingers through his hair "she cast the protection charm over you then one of them heard and instead of cursing Hermione like he was going to he cursed Dora. She saved you and Hermione. I bet she will wake up and say that she is perfectly fine."
Minutes turned into hours. Sirius had left to inform Andromeda and the others of what was going on with Nymphadora. Remus refuses to leave the hospital. He wants to be there for when Dora woke up. He has a lot of things to say to her.
He then sees the sweeping movement of black robes. He thinks he is seeing things but Severus Snape has now walked into the hospital and over to the healers that are meant to be healing his Nymphadora.
Remus watches them talk; he sees Snape bring out different kinds of lotions and vials. He wonders if it is because of the rare and very dark magic that was used that made the hospital bring Severus in but Remus also knows this was good because Severus was a great potions master and if anyone could save her life then it will be him.
Remus walks over to the window and looks at the night sky that had now taken over the sky. He looks down in his pocket and sees that he has Nymphadora's wand mixed with his own.
He runs his fingers over her wand. He notices that his wand has the same markings on it that hers has but the only difference was that her wand was made of a lighter colour of wood than his.
He hears someone clear their throat, he turns around and comes face to face with Severus Snape. Remus walks over to him "how is she?"
Severus looks at his once co-worker "she was hit with a curse that had dark magic added to its movements. The healers managed to heal her back of the cut but it will scar however the dark magic had already begun to seep into her blood stream and into her own magic."
Remus nods, he knows it is bad. Severus sighs "I have given her some potions to help get rid of the dark magic before it mingles with her own magic however IF that does happen. She will be linked to the dark lord just like Potter is."
Remus nods again "ca can I see her?" Severus nods and points to her bed that is in a private ward. She has the ward to herself in case the deatheaters try to take her to Voldemort due to her rare magic.
Remus sits down beside her bed. He gently lifts her hand and he places a gentle kiss on to her knuckles "you need to fight this Dora; you are such a strong witch. You need to wake up."
Remus moves a strand of her brown hair away from her closed eyes "You have so many people who love and care about you. Including me; well especially me. You have turned my dark world upside down and made it so very colourful. I need you Nymphadora. You told me that I deserved to be loved, well I erm. I love you Nymphadora, I love you so much you colourful and clumsy witch. I will tell you every day for the rest of my life but you have to wake up to hear me say it, so I really do need you to wake up."
He feels a hand on his shoulder, he looks up and sees Andromeda standing beside him "we always knew she would end up with a werewolf. I have no problems with it, I've known you for years Remus you know that. You know that I have no problem with your 'furry problem' but just promise me you'll look after my Nymphy. I trust you."
She sits down on the other side of the bed, she smiles down at her sleeping daughter "I know how she feels about you Remus. She loves you, her eyes light up whenever someone mentions your name. I'm not getting any younger Remus; I would like at least one grandchild."
Remus smiles and nods. He runs his thumb over Dora's cheek "I would never hurt her. I love her and when I saw that thing curse her, I felt like my whole world had slowed down and I was helpless."
Andromeda nods "the healers told me that due to your quick thinking. You got her here in time for them to help her. You saved her life Remus and Dora will wake up, She will be happy and so will you."
A healer walks over to them "I'm sorry but visiting hours are over." Andromeda stands up "I understand, I'll be back in the morning Remus. Watch over her for me."
Remus is there to protect Nymphadora, as he is a member of the Order and he also refuses to leave her bedside. Andromeda kisses her daughters forehead "wake up soon my love. We all miss your bright pink hair."
Andromeda leaves and Remus just watches Dora. A book on the side table catches his eye. He realises that Dromeda must have left it, he looks at the title and laughs "little red riding hood. Don't worry Dora; no one is going to hurt you anymore."
Remus actually falls asleep with his head on the side of her bed. He doesn't hear the footsteps that are coming towards the bed. The person is confused; the potions he has given her should have woken her up by now.
The dark haired wizard is mumbling under his breath, he is trying to work out why she wasn't awake yet. The wolf got her to the hospital in time; the healers had managed to heal her back.
None of that would stop her from waking up, IF the dark magic had mingled with her magic that wouldn't have stopped her from waking up either.
He looks down at his former student, yes she is a clumsy person but she wasn't the worst student he ever had. She just couldn't rush any potion that she ever made but when she did take things slowly, she always got things correct.
He knew that the old wolf was in love with the colourful witch, he notices the way that Lupin would watch her whenever she is near him and how he was very quick to defend her in any situation especially the incident with Wormtail.
Snape also notices the book on the table and smirks at the title; he opens the front cover and reads the inscription:
To our dearest daughter
Your father and I are so proud of you and everything that you have accomplished.
I hope when you read or even look at this book you remember that not all wolves are bad and some just need a loving, caring hand. We know that that hand will come from you.
All our love
Your mother & father
