A/N: Hey guys. I don't own Harry Potter, or any of the characters. These lovelies belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling. Enjoy.
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! WHAT?! HOW?! WHY?! Wait, never mind, I know why. BUT OH MERLIN WHAT THE FU-!"
"LILY CALM DOWN!"
Lily Evans was freaking out. She already knew that Remus was a werewolf. She had figured that out years ago. (Not that the Marauders knew that.) But what she hadn't known was that James, her boyfriend, and his other two best friends were animagi (illegally, might I add) and stayed with Remus every full moon during his transformation. Now don't get me wrong, she thought it was pretty cool and selfless and brave and all that Gryffindor crap, but holy shit what if they had died?! Perhaps I should back up and start from the beginning. Might just make a little more sense.
Lily had had a pretty crappy Tuesday. Potions had sucked, as usual. Not because she was bad (she was excellent at everything), but because Slughorn paired her with Severus again. She didn't want to even be around him after what he had called her two years ago. Seriously, just because they were both potions prodigies did not mean they had to be partners all the time. She really didn't think her day could get any worse, but then she walked in on her boyfriend and his friends. But one seemed to be missing, and in his place was a giant black dog.
"Um, James?"
"Yeah Lils?"
"Why is there a dog trying to eat Remus's face? And where's Sirius?" Lily had just about had it with Tuesdays. They were always the worst. James looked at her guiltily. Peter squeaked and ran out of the room.
"Funny you should mention that! He, um, went to the, uh, kitchens! Yes, the kitchens! That's where he went!" Just then Remus, having not noticed their company being preoccupied with the aforementioned dog trying to eat his face, spoke up.
"Pads, get the hell off of me! I just showered, and I do not appreciate having your dog slobber all over me!" Lily whipped her head around to look at him.
"Erm, Remus? Isn't Pads what you call Sirius... OH. MERLIN." She paled as the realization dawned on her: her boyfriend and his idiot friends were animagi.
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! WHAT?! HOW?! WHY?! Wait, never mind, I know why. BUT OH MERLIN WHAT THE FU-!"
"LILY CALM DOWN!"
"CALM DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! YOU AND SIRIUS AND PETER ARE ANIMAGI?!" She was breathing very heavily, and James was starting to get a little concerned.
"Well, yes, but we have a very good reas-"
"YOU REALIZE THAT THAT'S ILLEGAL RIGHT? YOU COULD'VE BEEN EXPELLED, AND ARRESTED! AND YOU COULD HAVE DIED IF REMUS GOT OUT OF CONTROL! Not that I think you would, Remus, I trust you completely. BUT REMUS I EXPECT MORE FROM YOU! WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?! THESE IDIOTS COULDVE MESSED UP AND KILLED THEMSELVES! AND JAMES POTTER YOU COMPLETE IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER?!"
"Well, Lily, you see-" Just then, Sirius transformed back into himself. He quickly walked over to the fuming Lily Evans and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Evans. Chill out. We've been doing this for years, we're fine. So stop your worrying, and just let the men do their thing." He turned to the other Marauders and laughed. "Women."
And that was why Sirius Black showed up for Transfiguration the next day with pink hair, rabbit ears, and octopus tentacles instead of legs.
