"What?" Lily jumped back when suddenly, Mia and Sirius shifted into Animagus
form, forcing her to finally come face-to-face with a little fox and a bear-like black dog that
looked eerily like a Grim. Her eyes widened further when the two started snarling at James.
"Now wait just a bloody—Lily, where's my wand?" James demanded.
"How should I know?!"
"Remus," James said warningly. "Call them off; this isn't funny."
"I happen to think it's a little funny." Remus chuckled, his arms folded casually
across his broad chest. "They're not going to bite hard, just enough to draw a little blood
and leave a few scars."
"Scars?" Lily yelled.
"Yeah, like this one," Remus said as he pulled up his shirt to reveal a small circular
scar that looked to be placed between two of his ribs. "That's an antler, by the way," he
clarified to Lily, who gaped at the sight and immediately turned on her boyfriend,
narrowing her eyes in anger.
"James Potter!"
"They had sex with my sister!" James pointed at Remus and the growling Grim, who
was slowly moving closer toward the staircase. "How was I supposed to react?"
Lily ignored James's excuses as she turned back to Remus. "Are they going to hurt
him very badly?"
Remus grinned. "He'll live."
