CHAPTER 10
The next morning, we went up to the castle and none of us had new wounds. My shoulder was still bothering me but I refused to go to the Hospital Wing.
"Lizzie, you need to go." Remus said. I shook my head. It had been going on like that for five minutes straight, with the other three guys pitching in.
"You could always make her." Sirius said. Remus picked me up and carried me the whole way to the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey seemed surprised to see him carrying me in.
"Please tell me nothing went wrong last night." she said.
"Well, I didn't do anything. The Whomping Willow did some damage to her and she refused to come so I carried her." Remus replied. He sat me on a bed.
"Where is it hurting?" Pomfrey asked.
"No where." I replied. She rolled her eyes and began poking and prodding until she poked my left shoulder, causing me to yelp. She drew the curtains around the bed and told me to take my shirt off. I looked down and saw there was a very nasty bruise on that shoulder. After examining it she gave me some kind of disgusting potion. The pain and bruise faded away.
"It was broken. Its fine now so you can go." she said. I thanked her and left quickly. Remus was on my heels.
"Aren't you glad I made you go?" he asked. I nodded. I went up to my dorm and took a long hot shower before going into the guys' dorm. I noticed none of them were in there but I heard water running in the bathroom so I sat on the windowsill.
Before long, Remus walked out. He seemed surprised to see me sitting there.
"How long have you been there?" he asked.
"A few minutes." I replied. He walked over to me and kissed me, winding his arms around my waist. I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled him closer to me.
When classes started back up, we formed a pattern. Remus and I would sit with Chris and Claire at breakfast, the other Marauders at lunch, and most of the time we sat with the other Marauders at supper as well. Remus and I became basically inseparable.
The next full moon was awful.
We went down to the Shrieking Shack as normal but Remus went out of control the moment he was in his wolf form. He tried attacking Sirius, but I jumped in between them and caught the worst of the attack. I thought about what the book had said.
"Remus." I said, making sure the others didn't hear at the same time trying to push it into the werewolf's mind. His eyes flickered towards me. "Remus." I repeated. He shook his head and seemed to realize everything that was going on.
"Oh my god, Lizzie. I'm so sorry for doing this to you." he whimpered. I was laying on my stomach while my silver fur was mostly stained red although I was only bleeding in a few spots. He laid beside me and started licking the blood off me.
"Remus, stop, that's nasty." I said.
"It will help us find out how bad the wounds are if theres no blood surrounding them." he replied, going back to work on getting rid of the blood. When he finally touched one of the wounds, I whined and jumped away from him.
"Lizzie go to the hospital wing. Now." Remus said. I shook my head. He looked pointedly at Sirius. Even though the others had no idea what we'd been talking about, Sirius forced me out the door.
"Turn human." Sirius barked. He stood on his hind legs and turned back into his normal form and I followed his orders.
"Now are you going to go willingly or not?" he asked. I just started walking up to the castle.
"Padfoot are you coming?" I asked, turning around. I didn't even have time to see him before everything went black.
