Remus Lupin lay asleep in his bed. It was about seven in the morning and classes didn't start until half past eight. The chestnut hair colored sixteen year old turned in his sleep not wanting to get up just yet, however he didn't have a choice. As the werewolf continued sleep two griffindore boys crept over to Remus's bed.
" He must have stayed up late again studying…"said a black hair boy known as James Potter. " whisper you wake him up!" said Sirius whispering angrily. James smiled and looked down at the sleeping werewolf.
"Okay…. one …two…three!" yelled Sirius. Then both boys jumped and pounced on their sleeping friend. Remus awoke in surprised and looked at his two friends. "Time to get up!" said James with the up most cheerfulness in his voice. Sirius just laughed as they got off of his frighten friend.
Remus looked at both of them "can't you wake me up like a normal person?" he asked with slight annoyance in his voice. " Where is the fun in that Moony?" James asked getting off of the bed and walking to his own. Remus let out an exhausted sigh. Sirius walked over and smiled "come get ready class starts soon".
The young werewolf looked at Sirius and then nodded. He went to get dressed and get the rest of his things ready. Sirius and James waited near the door. Remus gathered his things and hurried to the door and the three of them walked to their first class of the day.
After the classes where over the boys walked back to their dorms. James smiled " man today was so boring!" Sirius nodded in agreement. Remus blinked and rolled his eyes "you two are just slackers" he said laughing a bit, Sirius and James looked at each other and laughed and started to chase Remus who took off up the stairs. " Oh! You done it now Moony!" yelled James.
Sirius smiled and laughed running behind James. The black haired boy with glasses collided with Remus who stopped dead in his tracks. "Ow! Moony! What the hell did you stop for?" James yelled and rubbed his nose. Sirius peeked over the boys' shoulders. "What is the matter? Remus?"
Remus stared in the room with shocked eyes, his golden amber eyes falling on to the floor, which had a big burn on it. James ran in and passed the shocked werewolf and gasped. " The carpet it's burnt!"
Sirius ran in after James and looked at the damage. "What could have caused this?" he asked. The carpet was burnt in a strange way. All the marks made a symbol. "An X?" asked James who ran a hand through his black hair moving some bangs out of the way. Sirius blinked and looked at Remus's shocked faced which turned pale.
"Remus? Is anything wrong? Do you know what this means?" Sirius asked walking towards the werewolf. Remus looked up and shook his head. "No idea" he lied. He knew what the symbol meant and who it exactly it belong too. James walked over and sighed, " perhaps a candle fell" he said thinking. Sirius nodded " that must be it" he said looking at Remus to make sure he was truly okay.
"Just put a rug over it' said Remus walking to his bed. He sat down and glanced out the window nervously. Sirius saw his nervousness "James go fetch us a rug in the supply closet," ordered the black long hair 18 year old. James nodded and ran off.
Sirius walked over to Remus and sat beside him. "You seem nervous Moony" he said watching him very carefully. Remus just sighed, "It just startled me that's all…" he said his hands fidgeting with the end of his robe.
" Alright…we will drop it for now. Come on Moony lets gets some food"! Sirius said happily tossed a arm around Remus. The werewolf blinked and smiled "Okay" he said simply. They got up and met up with James.
Walking to the Great Hall, Remus glanced out the window for a moment. It was dark and cloudy now and the rain just started to fall. Sirius gave Remus a quick glanced and saw him thinking. He decided to walk over and stand beside him. " The rain…. we needed it" he said to Remus. The younger boy glanced up slightly and nodded. "Yes" he replied.
"Come on you guys!" James yelled grabbing both of the ends of their robes. He began to drag them. "Lets eat!" he added. Remus and Sirius blinked and turned walking with James when he let go. They found a table and sat down and began their meal.
Remus picked at his found he wasn't very hungry unlike the other two who sat there in a eating contest to see who doesn't vomit first. Boys will be boys Remus thought watching them as a small smile crept on his face.
As the contest went on the Grand Hall filled with people cheering. Most people cheered for Sirius because of the girl's population dominating the boys. This made James eat faster and harder determined never to give up and let his close friend beat him.
Lily Evens cheered for James loudly "You can do it James Potter! If you win I will give you a kiss!" she said giggling. James heard this and a fire lit deep inside him. Passion filled his body as began to eat faster and faster. He was now more determined to win.
Sirius was eating slower now when he heard Lily's proposal. He would Prongs win this time so he could get a kiss from his girl. Remus got up silently he began to head back to the dorm and with all the commotion no one will notice his retreat.
James was still swallowing food, which was half chewed in order to beat his friend. Sirius noticed Remus's disappearance and put down his fork seceding from the food battle. "The winner is James Potter!!" said a voice from the crowd.
Sirius laughed as Lily ran over and tackled James to the ground giving him a long passionate kiss. James didn't complain he just did the thumbs up to all the guys in the room. They yelled and screamed " nice one James" and " You dog you!"
After all the commotion was done. The short hair man noticed that both his friends where gone. He got up and smiled at Lily " What a kiss…" he said. " I have to go find my gang" he said running off.
By that time Remus was out in the courtyard watching the forest that lay in the distance. There was no moon in the sky tonight. The temperature had drop and the rain turned into snow. Breathing softly, Remus could see his breath, but the cold never bothered him too much.
His eyes focused on a tree, which had a shine coming from it. The soft glow near the tree must have been a campfire. Remus sniffed the air and his wolf-like senses kicked in. Indeed he smelled burning wood and something else. It was... Panic began to rise inside the werewolf.
Dashing off to the forest he raced with all his might. Was he found again? The heartbeats began to slam against his rib cage. Gasping the ice-cold air stung the inside of his nose and throat.
He arrived at the camp sight. Eyes scanned the scene. We found a truck and waved his hand over it and watched it open. Weapons…that were coated in sliver and Remus did not dare touch them. The smell of silver made his sick to his stomach. He backed away feeling like he was going to vomit.
Remus backed away and heard something rustle. Fear stuck in his heart he began to run blindly into the forest. The smell of silver made him gag a bit. He was being followed. Remus gasped running avoiding tree and bushes. He could hear the footsteps that desperately trying to keep up as the silent hunter continue to chase.
Not watching where he stepped Remus had run on to the pond, which was frozen over, however the ice did not hold his weight. Remus screamed and falls through into the icy water. His eyes widen seeing a figure on the land as began to sink down. It was in fact the person he feared more than the moon. Soon her image started to fade as he saw nothing but black.
