The moon had risen and only Peter had noticed.
"Umm, you lot. Shouldn't we be going?"
"Nah, you two go ahead."
"Sirius Orion Black, You are going to help your best friend and your sister. Now."
"Fineeeeeeeee." Sirius complained.
———
It was too late.
The werewolf's circled each other in annoyance, ready to attack.
Remus made the first move, striking Lottie's werewolf back, causing her to cower.
Both Lycan's had one goal; to kill.
If someone didn't stop them, one would die.
Soon enough, the fight progressed and left Charlotte bruised and bloody outside of the Whomping Willow, knocked unconscious.
———
James, Peter and a rather reluctant Sirius made their way through the corridors, completely abandoning the invisibility cloak in the dorm, and headed towards the old willow tree.
Shit.
They were too late. Remus had forgotten about his Wolfsbane potion as Sirius often had to remind him to take it and had left Charlotte, still in her wolf form, unconscious and barely breathing.
The only problem was, where was Remus?
A howl could be heard as the three boys doom transformed into their animagi and ran towards the sound.
The rest of the night was history.
———
Charlotte woke up again with a headache and alone. She could barely move; she looked down herself and gasped.
What the fuck happened?
Lottie laid back down and brought her knees up to her chest and sobbed. Last night was a bad one.
Remus woke up in the Shrieking Shack and looked around for Charlotte, who was usually there with him along with a dog, stag and a rat.
Only the animals were there.
Something went wrong.
Sirius, James and Peter transformed back into humans after they woke up minutes after Moony.
"Where the fuck is Lycan?" Is the first thing anyone said.
"Shit."
———
It was still early morning, around four so they still had some time before they would get caught.
The boys let Moony get dressed and they all headed out to, yet again, find the missing Marauder.
"Guys! She's here!" Peter yelled after what felt like hours of hunting for the girl.
"Thank Merlin." James jogged over before gasping.
"Get Padfoot and Moony away. Quickly."
Peter took the two boys to the Hospital Wing and James now tended to Charlotte.
"Fucking hell Char," He muttered. "Last night must've been rough."
He covered the shivering girl in one of Moony's oversized jumpers and a blanket they brought before carrying the girl to the Hospital Wing.
"Hey, Pop-Pop." James started as he walked in.
"Merlin's beard, James! Are you alright?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she looked at the boy's face.
I'm fine, it's Charlotte here that I'm worried about." He lifted the blanket slightly to show the older woman.
"This way please, Mr Potter." The pair swiftly placed the girl on a bed in the corner of the room as Poppy immediately started to heal the girl.
James went to see Remus. "Hey, Remy, how ya doing?"
Remus had fallen back asleep and slurred coherent words. "Yeah, good fine great."
"I'll come back later, alright Pads."
