Chapter 17 - The Full Moon

    As we sprinted down the lawn near Hagrid's Cabin, I picked up a scent, It led straight towards the Whomping Willow. Although I could not see the tree yet, I could hear Screams and a long-drawn-out howl. As I became level to the tree with a Clear view, a figure loomed above all others. My heart skipped a beat, It was a werewolf, It was my Uncle and Harry was right in front of him. As the werewolf drew back a gnarled claw above its head, I pounced straight for the throat. There was the taste of blood. But I missed and got him in the shoulder instead. My uncle yowled in pain. In the corner of the clearing, I saw a glimpse of Harry, Hermione, Ron, Melanie, and Snape standing still in shock of these events. I wasn't quick enough, my werewolf of an Uncle had slashed leaving big gashes along my back. I wailed and writhe in pain. Harry was screaming and fighting against Snape's Grip to get to me. This was it...My uncle pulled back for the final blow, I struggled at the dirt, trying to claw myself away. At the last second, a black blur threw Itself at my Uncle, causing him to lose attention on me and focus on...Sirius...I couldn't move. The Darkness in my mind started to take hold as a fight for Conciseness. The grass around me turned a deep shade of red as I bled out. Harry had now fought off Snape's grip and was running towards me with Melanie. Melanie, I could tell was on the verge of tears. "Your-Your going to be fine. I promise...just hold on." Harry's voice cracked. "We need to get you to the castle. Please Hold on. Just Hold On." His voice faded away. As the Darkness took over.

      I was being suspended in mid-air. We were floating towards the castle. Harry was floating along with my godfather Sirius Black. I woke up in the hospital just in time to see my brother, Hermionie, and Mel disappearing on one side of the wing and they appeared busting through the door on the other side. "Did you save Sirius?" I coughed. " Yes, we did." they chimed. "You look horrible, Nina." Melanie's eyes bulged slightly. " Well, what do you expect-" I felt a hand grasping mine and looked to the left of my bed frame. There he was passed out on a stool against the wall, but still, he was grabbing my hand. "Sirius was really proud of you. You know?" Harry Chuckled. "Did he really?" I snorted. "Yeah, he was. But I thought you were gonna die there..." Harry said looking at his feet. " So did I, frankly," I noted. "The cuts are really deep, they're not going to probably heal all the way. They're going to leave some nasty scars." Madam Pomfrey Overserved the bandages. I just laughed, "Now, I can say I got mauled by a werewolf," I said letting go of George's hand. "You were Over there, and now you're over here!" Ron squealed from his Bed. "WE Know Ronald!" Hermione snapped. 

      When Madam Pomfrey walked away, George's eyelids flinched openly. "Oh thank god, you're awake. Why do you have to be such a heroic?!" He accidentally cracked a smile mid-sentence. "Stop smiling Nina, I'm trying to be serious." he snickered. "But all jokes aside, don't do that again please." he finished, then kissing my forehead. Melanie strutted over in a whirl of wind. " I thought you were gonna die! That's not ok! I'll kill you before anyone else does! And That's u-uh....OH yay, you're back together. Eeeeeeeek," she said skipping away. "I will never understand what goes through her mind," I said watching her skip out. "Can I lay with you?" George asked, pointing to the spot next to me. "Why not?" I asked. He crawled next to me. I flipped over on my stomach with great effort, so I could lay on his chest. " So I have to ask a question..." George stared. "Shoot," "Do you want to spend the summer holiday with us? Or If you don't want to stay for the half summer, you can just come for the Quidditch World cup-Melanie and Mikala are coming too." He blurted. "George that sounds wonderful," I said to his chest. He had his arms wrapped around my head so he wouldn't hurt my touch on my back. His heart rate was shallow. I felt safe in his warm embrace. " You can rest now, Love...I'm right here if you need me," he whispered in my ear holding me closer to him.
