Nightlock and Wolfsbane (a remus lupin love story)

My name is Isabella Rose Taylor.
And i'm not a normal girl.
i'm Different.
I am a witch. I attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
I am in Gryffindor house.
sounds strange, right?
but it get's stranger, it always does.

"lily, slow down!" i yelled, laughing, to my best friend, Lily Evans. her ruby hair was flying behind her as she pulled me through the sea of people in Platform 9 3/4. we boarded the large red steam-engine and walked through the isle trying to find an empty compartment. we were starting our first year at Hogwarts. we looked in any available place but they were all filled. While Lily and Severus were looking for an empty compartment, i was zoning out like i do often, when i saw a compartment with only 3 boys in it. 2 of the boys had dark hair and were deep in conversation. the other boy had sandy colored hair and was reading a book. The Merchant Of Venice, one of my favorites. just then, as though he could feel me staring he looked up from his book and stared right at me. he had light scars covering his face. i smiled at him and he half-smiled back.
i turned and tapped Lily on the shoulder and she looked at me with her frustrated expression. "what is it, Bella?" she asked me.
"could we sit there?" i asked, pointing to the compartment with the three boys.
relief spread across her face and she called to Severus.
"sev!" she exclaimed and she explained to him what i had found, and we made our way over there. "exscuse us, but may we sit here?" lily asked the boys.
The dark haired boys appraised us for a moment before saying "yeah, sure."
we sat and introduced ourselves.
"I'm Lily Evans," Lily began. "and this is Severus Snape."
"and i'm Bella Taylor," i said before lily did it for me.
at this moment the boy with the book looked up at me. i smiled at him again.
"cool. i'm Sirius Orion Black." said one of the boys.
"and i'm James "awesome since birth" potter," the one with glasses said. i laughed, lily rolled her eyes and i don't even think Severus was paying attention. The boys looked pleased with my response. i smiled at them.
(yeah, i was real happy then)
i looked at the boy with the book and he murmured softly, "Remus Lupin," before going back to his reading.
i zoned out again but i believe they were talking about the houses at hogwarts and then they got in an argument. by "they" i mean James and Sev. while lily was screeching at james. i sighed, i loved lily like a sister and Severus was her friend so i was nice to him, but Lily's overeactions to everything got on my nerves sometimes. i zoned back in when Lily grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the door. "where are we going?" i asked.
"away from here!" she said back. "but Lily, there's no where else to sit!" i reminded her. "we'll find somewhere!" she yelled. i sighed again and picked up my things. "bye, boys." i said quietly and followed behind Lily and Severus into the corridor. as i left, i looked back into the compartment and found the boys staring after us. Remus looked as if he wanted to call after us but he never did.

That was the day i met the Marauders.
The day i met Remus Lupin.
it feels like that day was a lifetime ago. but it was only a year.
on that day i was sorted into Gryffindor house along with Lily and The Marauders. Severus was sorted into Slytherin.
that school year had passed and gone and most of the summer too. a week before, i had celebrated my 12th birthday. in another two weeks, i would be starting my 2nd year at Hogwarts. it was late at night, my parents already asleep. i was lying on my bed, watching television, when i heard a noise outside. i crept down the stairs, careful not to wake my parents. i opened the door but there was nothing there but the bright moon. and i'd like to take this moment to apologize to all horror movie girls. i mean, the ones that go and investegate the strange noises in the middle of the night that we all yell at and they never listen? well, i just became one of them. so, i'm sorry for yelling at the screen and calling you stupid. i took another step. nothing. another cautious step. silence. and then a devastating blow on my right side. gasping, and now lying on my back, i searched for the danger.
looking down on me with horrifying hunger-crazed eyes was the most terrifyingly beautiful girl i'd ever seen. (see pic.) her eyes were black as tombs. her lips, red as rose petals, curled into a taunting smirk. her long black hair swirled around her head. she stared at me and i could see my terrified face in her eyes. then she did the unthinkable. she held me down with inhuman strength and lowered her face to my ear and whispered,
"i'm sorry, i'm just so thirsty." but before i could process what that meant her razor-sharp teeth were cutting into my neck. she drank and drank and i could feel the life draining out of me.
"i really hope you don't die, kid." she said, wiping my blood off of her porcelin face. i watched as she ran with an unatural speed, reducing her to a blur. this all happened in about a minute.
i lied there unmoving for what seemed like forever. shock my dominant emotion next to pain.
my fingers dug into the grass under my hands, my eyes wide and staring, my voice wouldn't work enough to scream or call for help. i was gasping but no relief came with the air. i waited and waited but death never came. this wouldn't be a very good story if it did. "help! help...!" i called but it was little more than a whisper. a while of this, me starting to get a bit louder, and finally help came. my mother opened the door, searching for the source of the noise. she screamed when she saw me lying there in the grass, blood flowing out of me.
"Ben! Ben! Get out here! help!" she screamed. she rushed over to me and my dad followed quickly. the look on his face... priceless.
"Isabella! Isabella? what happened? can you hear us? Isabella?. . ." their voices trailed off into dark silence.
