I heard Greyback howl in rage as he bursts through the door, he looks up at someone then runs out. Someone walks to the door and cast protective spells, I don't see who as my eyes are closed due to the pain from my cuts.
"Lyra! You said they were only scratches!" Remus says worriedly holding my shoulders. I hear James' voice behind me,
"What happened Remus?"
"Miss Black I think you should head to the hospital wing," my eyes snap open Dumbledore was kneeling beside me.
"It was you!" I said a little too loudly, "you pulled us through the door,"
"Yes," said Dunbledore.
"I don't care if I get a million detentions! I need to find my sister!" Sirius' voice carries down the staircase, soon his figure followed by professor Flitwick. When he sees me on the floor he rushes to my side and helps me to my feet.
"What the bloody hell happened?" He said glaring at Remus.
"Yes I would like to know too, mr Black but let's not wake the whole school," dumbledore says calmly, "now to the hospital wing, all of you." A very strange group of people all head to the hospital wing, me, held up by Sirius and Dumbledore, Remus, James, Mcgonagal and Flitwick. We enter the hospital wing and madam Pomfrey hurries towards us.
"What on earth happened?" She exclaimed leading my to a bed.
"I think we'd all like to know that actually," said Dumbledore conjecturing up 5 seats, as Remus had sat on the end of my bed.
"Well, we had all gone down to the quidditch pitch for the gryffindor tryouts, and I fell asleep,"
"Then I waited with him and didn't realise the time," I said as madam Pomfrey dabbed ditony on my face. And me and Remus explained what happened up until we got to the bit where Dumbledore had pulled us inside.
"But professor, how did you know that we were there?" Asked Remus as he waved madam Pomfrey away from his bleeding forehead.
"Well, professor Mcgonagal had called me to her office when mr Potter had been caught out of his dormitory at about 8:40, he had told me that he was looking for you two, then mr Black had come crashing in and told me that he had apparently heard from a mirror that you were in trouble then fawks, my Phoenix, had given me a warning that someone had asked for help, help will always be given at hogwarts, to those who ask, so naturally I went to help," Said Dumbledore. I leant back in my pillows thinking.
"Poppy, I don't want to alarm you but I don't believe the ditony is work on miss Black's face," said professor Mcgonagal studying me, it was true, the slashes Greyback had made weren't healing. Madam Pomfrey hurried over to me and started to examine my injuries.
"I think it's time for bed all of you," Dumbledore suddenly said jumping to his feet, "madam Pomfrey I think these two should have a potion for dreamless sleep," he said nodding at me and Remus.
"Yes I think so," she said hurrying to get some medicine.
"Professor, please can I stay with my sister?" Sirius said with a pleasing look in his eye.
"No she needs rest and so do you mr Black," he said sternly and Sirius gave up, "Minvera if you could take mr  Potter and mr Black back to gryffindor tower."
"Yes professor Dumbledore, come on Potter, Black," she said, standing up.
"Bye Lyra, Remus," said James standing up too.
"Bye sis," said Sirius hugging me then leaving with Mcgonagal and James.
"Filious, could you send a message to Hagrid that he should seek shelter in the castle tonight," Dumbledore said to Flitwick.
"Certainly," he squeaked and he left too.
"Mr Lupin, if you will go to your bed madam Pomfrey will give you both a potion for dreamless sleep, you have had quite a night," Dumbledore said standing up too, Remus go into the bed next to mine and we waited for madam Pomfrey to come back. I let my hand hang off the bed and I felt Remus squeeze it, I looked at him, his head was bleeding from where I had pushed him out of the way of Greyback. Madam Pomfrey returned and gave us both some potion, as soon as I had it, my eyelids became heavy and I turned over to look at Remus who looked like I felt, sleepy and my eyes slowly fell closed.

Remus was let out of the hospital next day but as my cuts hadn't healed I wasn't aloud to leave. Madam Pomfrey was frustrated that nothing she tried had worked as the cuts wouldn't heal and I had to keep taking a blood replenishing potion and having the cuts cleaned every hour. I had lots of sweets at my bedside table from all my friends and a note from my parents saying that I shouldn't have taken the hit for Remus, that had been scrunched up and thrown across the room. Sirius and Remus visited everyday but at different times, when I asked Remus why, he said that he thinks Sirius thought that it was his fault I got hurt. I told him not to worry and that Sirius was just being protective. After about a week madam Pomfrey found an antidote and my cuts started to heal and I was aloud to leave. But what I came back to was worse then what it was like before me and Remus had been locked out.
