Chapter Ten

Weeks went by, Remus had been staying in Emily's room a couple of nights and sometimes she would go over to his room. Though, they didn't seem to be around each other during the day. People had stopped staring at Emily since Dumbledore had convinced them that Sirius had stollen polyjuice potion out of the dungeon.

Remus had started to act a bit weird. Emily went up to his office one day to see what was wrong. When she got there, she noticed the map spread out on his desk.

"Where did you get that?" Emily asked, looking over the map.

"Snape confiscated it from Harry and he gave it to me," Remus sighed, "though, what's weird is Harry says he saw Peter."

"Hm, that is weird," Emily said, looking at Remus, "have you seen him?"

"No," Remus said, looking down at the map, "but the map don't lie. I don't see how he could be alive. Sirius killed him."

"Maybe not," Emily said, "maybe Sirius didn't kill him. He can change you know."

"Into a rat, yes," Remus said, than quickly looked at Emily, "that boy Ron had a rat."

"Yes, he has been saying Granger's cat ate it," Emily said, "maybe that was just a set up so he could escape."

Remus sat back in his chair and looked to be deep in thought. Emily looked at him, before standing up.

"I got to work," Emily sighed, "I'll see you later."

Emily left the room and pulled out her instructions. She crossed off another task with a smile. She started to just walk around the halls. No one really seemed to be out after hours anymore. School was soon coming to an end, everybody was probably busy studying for their exams.

Another week went by and the full moon was tonight. Emily had taken her potion and was waitting in her room. The full moon would be up in about twenty minutes. She sighed and went to Remus's room, but to her shock he wasn't there.

She quickly left the room and went to his office. He wasn't there either, but his potion was. She looked at it, than realized he hadn't taken it. She saw the map and looked around and saw him by the whomping willow.

"Oh look, there's Peter," Emily said to herself, than looked at everyone that he was with.

Emily quickly left the office and ran outside. She stopped after the full moon came up. She looked up at the moon with a sigh. She started transforming and she could hear someone talking over by the whomping willow. After the transformations, she quickly ran over. She saw Remus slowly moving over to Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Snape.

Remus went to attack and she attacked him first, bit his arm. He yelped and scratched her back. They backed apart and growled at each other before attacking again, but Remus bit Emily's shoulder and pushed her against a rock. She fell down, knocked out. Remus turned back to them and went to attack, but this time Sirius attacked him in his animagus form.

Remus pushed Sirius away, but Sirius bit his arm and backed off. Remus went to attack and Sirius ran. You could hear the fight and than a yelp. Harry ran over to see what had happened.

Emily slowly shook her head and got up. She looked over at Snape, before slowly moving passed them. She slowly made her way to the lake and just laid down. She fell asleep and woke up to growling. She looked over to see Remus. She got up and growled back, before laying back down.

Remus stared at her for awhile before laying down himself. Before the sun came up, Emily had gone into the castle and into her room. She transformed back to normal when the sun hit her. She was in pain, but managed to change into some shorts and tank top. She grabbed a blanket and made her way back outside. She walked over to Remus, who was stil laying on the ground, looking up at the sky.

"You do know you don't have anything on?" Emily asked, putting the blanket over him.

"I'm in pain," Remus moaned.

"Me too," Emily sighed, "come on than."

Emily helped Remus up. He kept the blanket wrapped around him. They made there way to Remus's room so he could at least get dressed. Once he was dress, they went up to the hospital wing. Emily laid down in a bed and Remus laid down in the bed next to her. Poppy came over and helped them. She helped Remus first. She moved over to Emily and helped her with her wounds.

"That looks like it hurts," Remus said, looking at the scratches down Emily's back.

"Ya," Emily laughed, "not as bad as my shoulder."

"I see that," Remus said, looking at her shoulder.

"Do you see the bite on your arm?" Emily asked.

"I did," Remus said, looking down at his arm, "I actually have one on each arm."

"I only bit you once," Emily grinned, "someone else must of bit you too."

Remus thought about it, than nodded his head. Poppy finished up with Emily, who turned to Remus.

"Now what?" Emily asked.

"Um..breakfast," Remus suggested.

Emily stood up and walked over to Remus, who seemed to be having a bit of trouble walking. She gave a small laugh before conjuring him a cane. They walked to the Great Hall and people were staring at them. Remus sat down at the front table and looked up at Emily.

"Aren't you going to sit down?" Remus asked.

Emily nodded and sat where usually Snape would sit. For some reason, he was over at the Slytherin table. He looked at them with a smirk on his face. Emily noticed most of the Slytherins staring at Remus.

Than one stood up and yelled, "Lupin's a werewolf."

The Great Hall fell silent for a few seconds, than everyone started whispering and glancing up at Remus, who just kept on eating. Emily looked over at Snape, who looked at her. She stood up, but Remus grabbed her arm.

"Don't do it," Remus said, looking up at her.

Emily looked at Remus, than back at Snape, who just grinned. Emily pulled away from Remus, who watched her walk over to Snape. Some students were watching too. Snape pulled out his wand, but was shocked when it flew out of his hand. He didn't even notice that Emily had pulled hers out. He was even more shocked when she put it away.

"You're not going to do anything," Snape hissed with an evil grin, "you never could."

Emily looked down at the ground, than back up at him before she punched him. He fell to the ground with a bloody nose. Students were laughing as Emily just walked away.

"Ya, protect your own kind," Snape hissed, standing up.

"Yes, and your the one who is related," Emily yelled back, "goodbye little brother."

The Great Hall fell silent. Emily walked out looking pretty happy. Remus left the Great Hall after he had finished eating. Snape had also left. Remus went to his office with a sigh. He started packing his stuff.

Emily went to her room and pulled out her instructions. She crossed another one off with a sigh. For some reason, everytime she crossed one out another one would appear. She packed up her bags and slowly left. She ran into her daughter.

"I'm related to him?" Lily nearly yelled.

"Oh," Emily said, "he's your uncle."

"No," Lily said, shaking her head, "I don't claim him. Are you leaving?"

"Yes," Emily smiled, "I'll see you at home."

Emily left the school and saw Remus outside with his stuff.

"I see you're leaving as well," Emily said, standing next to Remus.

"You know how it is," Remus sighed, "I don't need the torture from students parents."

"Ya," Emily smiled, "where are you going now?"

"Home," Remus said, looking at Emily, "and where are you going?"

"I'm going home," Emily said, "you should come visit."

Remus looked at her with a smile. They soon got a carriage and left Hogwarts.
