24. the werewolf bite

Jessica's POV
We went through the passageway in a row remus was in the front with peter, behind walked dad with Harry both helping Ron since he couldn't walk. Hermoine and I were last. Between me and Hermoine hung an uncomfortable silence. Eventually Hermoine broke the silence 'Jessie I am so sorry' she said sincerely. 'Hermoine it's okay I understand why you were angry at me and I forgive you, if you'll forgive me for being so angry' I said. 'You did nothing wrong Jessie,' Hermione said 'you had all the right to be angry.' 'I don’t think Harry agrees he has been avoiding my eyes since Peter was revealed' I said. 'I think he feels guilty about what he said and did to you' Hermoine told me 'he is probably scared you won't forgive him' 'I don't blame him at all, I understand why he was angry' I said 'I don't care that he didn't believe me, what hurt me is seeing him look at me with so much hate in his eyes, he's like a younger brother to me, he was until this year the only family I had.'

We steped out of the hole underneath the womping willow Harry and dad had lowered Ron down on a tree stump. Me, Harry and Hermione stood around him. Dad stood looking at the view of the castle. I gave Harry  a nudge in the back, 'go to him Harry' I said. He looked at me for the first time since he learned the truth, 'don't you think he would like to talk to you more? I mean he's your dad ' Harry asked. 'No Harry, he's talked to me a lot already he wants to talk with you, trust me on that' I said. Harry nodded and stood up. I looked after him until I heard Ron mumble something behind me. 'I'm sorry Jessie' he said softly. 'It's okay Ron I forgive you.'I replied. I looked at dad and Harry again and Hermoine said 'go to them, I'll stay with Ron.' I nodded and walked to where Harry and dad were standing.

I caught the last bit of my father's sentence '... if you wanted different home' 'What — live with you?” Harry said 'Leave the Dursleys?' 'Of course, I thought you wouldn’t want to,' said dad sounding a bit disappointed 'I understand, I just thought I’d...' 'Are you insane?” interrupted Harry sounding very exited. 'Of course I want to leave the Dursleys!' But then the excitement in his voice suddenly disappeared 'I don’t think Jessica would like that though' he said sadly. 'Why wouldn't she like it Harry?' Dad asked. 'After all I said and did to her, she'll never forgive me' Harry stammered ' I called her murderers-daughter, I hit her in the face and ignored her for month's, she has always been like a sister to me and I just.....'

'HARRY!' Hermione screamed and pointed at the upcoming full moon. Dad sprung into action and ran towards Remus who started to shake violently. There was a terrible snarling noise. Remus’ head was lengthening. So was his body. His shoulders were hunching. Hair was sprouting visibly on his face and hands, which were curling into clawed paws. As the werewolf reared, snapping its long jaws, dad disappeared from view. He had
transformed. The enormous, black dog bounded forward. As the wolf howled the dog seized it about the neck and pulled it backward. They were locked, jaw to jaw, claws ripping at each other. I stood there transfixed by the sight, too intent upon the battle to notice anything else.

It was Hermione’s scream that alerted me Peter had dived for remus’ dropped wand. Harry screamed 'EXPELLIARMUS' but he was too late, Peter had transformed back into a rat and scurried away. 'No' I screamed as I saw my dad's way to freedom running away. I turned back to the fight between dad and remus and dad was thrown of and I heard him fall hard to the ground. The wolf turned to Harry who was the closest person to him, he was making himself ready to attack and Harry  stood there rooted to the spot. I sprinted towards Harry and pushed him out of the way. Then the wolf attacked I felt it's jaw close around my shoulder, A fierce pain going through me. I screamed out of pain. Suddenly the wolf let go of me and I fel to the ground black spots were clouding my vision. But the only thing I could concentrate on was the wolf who ran into the forest with a black dog and Harry following. I tried to walk after them but the pain was getting to me. I saw dad fall again and Harry throwing a rock at the wolf to keep it from attacking dad. Then the wolf sprinted towards Harry but before he could reach him there was a howl from further in the forest. The wolfs ears perked and another howl could be heard, then the wolf ran of. I took another step towards Harry but he ran towards dad who I now saw was also injured. All thoughts of my pain were chased out of my head as I saw this. I ran forwards and came to a lake where dad was lying unconscious  and Harry was siting next to him. Then it became icy cold, the lake froze over and I looked up to see dementors everywhere. I heard Harry trying to cast a patronus and wanted to help him but the pain and the Dementors where getting to me. I let a scream and plunged into darkness.

Harry's POV
It al happend so fast, the full moon, Peter escaping and Sirius attacking the wolf that was proffesor Lupin. The wolf threw Sirius of of him and advanced on me growling. I wanted to move but was rooted to the spot. Suddenly I was pushed out of the way by someone, I fel to the ground. I heard a pain stricken scream and looked up to see the wolf biting down on Jessie's shoulder. I saw Sirius attacking the wolf again and causing him to let go of Jessie. I saw Hermoine ran towards Jessie while signaling me to go after Sirius and proffesor Lupin. I ran and saw that Sirius was injured i threw a rock at the wolf to distract him. I emediatly realised my mistake as it was now coming towards me, then I heard a howl coming from the forest. The wolfs ears perked and he ran into the woods. I saw Sirius limping towards the lake and I ran after him only to find him unconscious. Suddenly everything went cold and the lake froze over. I looked up to see Dementors swarming down on us. I tried to cast a patronus, but I heard a scream again and saw Jessie collapse behind me. I tried to cast a patronus again but only silver wisps came out. And then, through the fog that was drowning me, I thought I saw a silvery light growing  brighter and brighter. I felt myself fall forward onto the grass Facedown, too weak to move, sick and shaking, I opened my eyes. The blinding light was illuminating the grass around me and the cold was ebbing away. Something was driving the Dementors back It was circling around me, Sirius and Jessie.

With every ounce of strength I could muster, I raised my head a few inches and saw an animal amid the light, galloping away across the lake. Eyes blurred with sweat, I tried to make out what it was. It was as bright as a unicorn. Fighting to stay conscious, I watched it can’ter to a halt as it reached the opposite shore. For a moment, I saw, by its brightness, somebody welcoming it back. raising his hand to pat it. someone who looked strangely familiar. but it couldn’t be…

I didn’t understand. I couldn’t think anymore. I felt the last of his strength leave me and my head hit the ground as I fainted.
