10th November 1971

Today's Quidditch practice had ended up with Lucia actually breaking her wrist.

So Lucia was yet again in the hospital wing.

And it just so happened to be a full moon too.

Remus was also in the hospital wing.


Lucia awoke with a jolt.

The slightest of sounds could wake her up and this time something had woken her up.

Madame Pomfrey was supporting Remus and taking him away.

Lucia grabbed her wand and followed a little way behind,being careful enough to stay in the shadows.

She followed them outside.

Madame Pomfrey pointed her wand at the knot in the whomping willow and the tree froze.

She took him down an entrance in the tree and Lucia was counting.

Counting how long it took for Madame Pomfrey to return.

After 10 minutes Madame Pomfrey returned without Remus.

Just as the Full Moon began to rise.

The full moon.

Suddenly Remus' random disappearances made sense.

Remus was a werewolf.

But then again she'd have to check against the next full moon.

And she had to check in that entrance that Pomfrey had used.

Lucia quickly slid into her bed in the hospital wing,leaving no traces of her being outside.

Lucia wouldn't tell anyone,clearly Remus didn't want anyone to know.

But then again he might not be a werewolf.

It could have just been a coincidence that he was in the hospital or at home with his mother at the same time as the full moon.

She just had to wait for evidence.

11th November 1971

Lucia was yet again woken to the sound of Madame Pomfrey supporting Remus to get him to his bed.

Madame Pomfrey was dabbing something on a scar that Remus had.

Remus was barely conscious and Pomfrey was dragging the curtains back along the bedside.

She didn't know what the time was but it only made sense that it was sometime after 8 or 9 as some rays of sunlight were visible through the window.

And yesterday,It was about 7 or 8 when Pomfrey left.

So where had Remus been for the past 12 hours?
