The stag fought back, and Remus recieved a hoof into his face, causing the werewolf to let go of him, and this gave the wounded stag to retreat quickly towards the castle...
He didn't know what to do. How could he explain it to the nurse? He wouldn't...When James transformed back into a human after he was safely just outside the castle, he looked at his shirt, which was stained a dark red. His lifted it slightly to reveal the large, and deep, scratched...they matched his cut and scratched face. He took a deep breath, then ran inside. He sprinted as fast as possible while wounded to the empty common room (its pretty late). He entered quietly, almost collapsing.
