Full MoonAs the mist parted, Remus could see the shadows of a huge estate cast by the full moon. It was the Shrieking Shack. This was the worst time of the month for him owing to the fact that he would change into the werewolf that he became during full moon. He would feel much better when his friends came up through the tunnel to join him for the night. He was the sanest when Prongs and Padfoot were here to keep him in line.
But tonight would be different. They had been caught last week by Professor McGonagall. She had given them detention for the rest of the month. Right now they were probably be polishing trophies, without magic. This was going to be the worst full moon ever.
=^-^=
Meanwhile back at Hogwarts, James, Sirius, and Peter were polishing the trophies and thinking up pranks to play on unsuspecting victims. This was to be the best end of the year prank ever. They had thought of changing the Great Hall around at first, but this having been thought of by Peter was turned down. They were very close to giving up after they had thought up of about 40 different pranks each seeming to get even more lame with every new one that they came up with. The one person that they really needed was Remus. But of course they could not go and see him until after midnight when they got out of detention.
=^-^=
At that very moment Remus was wishing that they were here with him while he was transformed so that they could keep him in line. James and Sirius were usually the ones that kept him from hurting anyone and from also eating Peter. Thinking about his friends he thought of how they first had figured out about his "special" problem.
~Flashback~
"You're a werewolf aren't you? This was the first thing that James had said when they had gotten him alone after all the weeks of stalking him to find when he was alone and where. Remus gulped. "What?" he managed to rasp out. Sirius was really heavy when he sits on your chest. James just replied, "We know.
"How many people have you told?" Remus asked.
"None.
"Will you tell any one else?
"No.
"What are you going to do about it?
"Nothing, but know this, you have friends and we will help you with anything that you need help with.
~End Flashback~
Remus sighed, They had changed a lot after that, he thought, now they are all Animagi to help through the time that I am a werewolf.
With this he turned away from the window as a beam of moonlight fell on his back, and he began to change into his werewolf form.
