Sister of black (Harry potter marauders era)

6. A long night

I shivered in the cold and Remus put my hoodie round my shoulders and hugged me for warmth. Despite being out here for hours he was warm and I felt safe in his arms.
"Remus?" I said turning my head.
"Hmmm?" He replied looking at me.
"Do you know what James, Sirius and Peter are doing?" I asked decide on confronting him.
"Now? I don't know probably stuffing their faces," he said looking at the castle.
"No I mean like, this morning I heard them talking about mandrake leaves and you being at the whomping willow." I look at Remus, his face had gone white.
"I-I'm not sure but this morning I was taking a walk and they know that I finish it at the whomping willow." He said stiffly.
"Ok, probably just some stupid prank," I sighed resting my head on his shoulder. I could've stayed like this forever, just me and Remus sitting watching the sunset.
"What time is it?" I asked raising my head to look at him.
"Umm," he said shifting his wrist to look at his watch, "its 6:40, why?"
"Ok I don't know, it just feels like I'm forgetting something," I said closing my eyes.
"Hang on," Remus said making me jump.
"What?" I said in alarm.
"New curfew, we were meant to be in the castle about two hours ago!"
"Merlin's beard, your right," I said jumping to my feet, "how are we meant to sneak back into the castle?" I said frantically.
"I'll get James to bring down his cloak," he said pulling a mirror out of his pocket, "James, oh for gods sake James answer," he said into the mirror. Suddenly a bluey-grey eye appears in the mirror.
"Remus, where are you?" Said Sirius.
"I'm on the quidditch pitch with Lyra," he said, "where James?"
"He went looking for you but got caught in the corridors by Mcgonagal,"
"Can you get his cloak and come find us?" Remus said pacing up and down.
"I can't James has it and I don't know where Mcgonagal took him," replied Sirius. I grabbed the mirror.
"Use the map, to see where he is and if you can sneak there," I said.
"Ok, stay there," said Sirius.
"Where else would we go?" I said handing the mirror back.
"Good point, just keep the mirror out I'll be right back," and Sirius was gone.
"Now we wait," Remus sighed and sat down.
"Yep," I said sitting next to him and resting my head on his shoulder. We
Waited about five minutes before Sirius' reappeared in the mirror.
"Got it, he's in Mcgonagal's office, and she's with him," he panted. Remus swore under his breathe.
"Has anyone else noticed we're gone?" I asked taking the mirror, but before Sirius answered, another eye appeared, a light brown one.
"James!" I yelped.
"Shhhh," he said, "I'm in Mcgonagal's office, she's gone to get Dumbledore, where are you? Have you seen Remus?"
"Yeah he's here with me, were on the quidditch pitch, is there anyway you can sneak down with your cloak?" I said holding the mirror up to my eye.
"No, even if I could the doors have like a million enchantments, that's how I got caught, I had cursed and taken my cloak off," James replied.
"Well that was a big stupid," remarked Sirius.
"Not now, Sirius," said Remus taking the mirror back,"Has anyone else noticed we're gone?"
"No only Evans but she thinks you're in the shower or something," replied Sirius, "why? You can't stay out."
"I know it's not the best but what else can we do?" Replied Remus, pacing again.
"Look I heard, Slughorn and Flitwick talking about a breach in security, that means a few death eaters could come into the school grounds," said James worriedly.
"Well then we'll go to the shrieking shack," he retorted, "unless you have any brighter ideas."
"I have one," I said quietly.
"What?" Said Remus spinning round to look at me.
"Well we could try Hagrid's," I say with raised eyebrows, he stared at me for a few seconds then hit himself with his hand.
"Of course how could we be so stupid?" He groaned, "ok me and Lyra are going to Hagrid's we'll see you tomorrow,"
"Bye,"
"Cya,"
And the mirror went blank.
"Let's go," he said helping me up. We walked down to the grounds where everything was dark.
"Lumos," we both whispered and we lit the way towards the forest. We walked in silence for a while and when we got close to the Forrest we heard some rustling. Remus held out an arm to stop me as two yellow eyes appeared, we slowly started to back off then we turned around and ran towards the castle. I could hear whatever is was close behind us and I kept running even through my chest felt like it was being ripped apart. Remus was still clutching my arm as we ran then I tripped, I quickly rolled over and pointed my wand into the face of a man. The man bore down upon me, teeth bared, he had blood around his mouth and his nails were yellow. I inched away with my wand pointed at him.
"S-stay back," I croaked as I heard Remus call my name in the dark. The man laughed a pulled my wand out of my hand and threw it behind me.
"Did you say Remus? Remus Lupin?" He growled still inching closer.
"I-it's non of your business," I said with a confidence I did not feel.
"Oh but I have had the pleasure of meeting the young mr Lupin," he growled softly, suddenly he jerked back as a stone his him on the head.
"Leave her alone!" Remus shouted, throwing stone at him. I scrambled to my feet and backed away to find Remus, he put an arm round my shoulders.
"Ahh," the man said softly, "young Remus Lupin, don't you remember me? Oh but you were so young and your farther intervened before I could kill you."
"You!" Remus yelled in anger as he threw stones at the man more violently.
"You do remember me then? Why don't you introduce me to your girlfriend," he growled inching closer, not phased by the stones, "my name is Fenrir Greyback."
"Leave her alone!" Remus yelled standing in front of me.
"Just like your farther, standing in the way of harm, when you needn't get hurt," Greyback growled. Me and Remus were backing slowly away from Greyback as the smell of blood filled our noses.
"Remus what's he talking about?" I whisper in his ear, big Greyback obviously had good hearing as he said,
"Why does she not know? Haven't you told your girlfriend what happened last time we met?" Remus said nothing.
"I don't care what happened! Just leave us alone and we won't get a teacher," I shouted at Greyback, "I don't care about his past or any unpleasant meetings he had with you, he's my best friend and nothing will change the way I feel about him!"
"Oh but I think this will be very interesting for you?" He growled back at me. Suddenly I felt something solid behind me, the school door, we were trapped now.
"Are you not satisfied with your once a month full of human fresh? That you will eat it as a human?" Remus shouted.
"Yes you've hit it on the head, young Remus," he growled as he came closer, "trapped now aren't you?"
I felt the door behind me, it was locked and James had said their were about a million more enchantments. 'Help, someone please help' I thought hopelessly. Then suddenly Greyback raised his hand with his long nails like claws, as he went to scratch Remus',already scared, face I shoved him out of harms way and got my face scratched. I felt blood spill out of the cuts. Remus jumped up and ran to me.
"Are you ok?" He said frantically.
"Yes it's just a scratch," I said not untruthfully, they were only scratches but they were deep and painful. Just as Greyback lifted his arm again I felt a hand on my wrist pull me through the door and I grabbed Remus' arm and pulled him with me.
