Hello! So, I've gotten a ton of hits on this story, and although that makes me really happy, I would also enjoy it if the people who were reading reviewed as well! It always makes me happy to see a review!

Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter Two: Of Wolfsbane and Chocolate.

"Now, who can tell me how to correctly do this spell? Because it seems like a lot of you have no idea." Professor McGonagall said looking down her nose at her class.

Reed raised her hand, just so they wouldn't get yelled at. But like always, McGonagall called on Lily instead, so she put her hand down. Besides, she was to busy searching the room for Remus, who was absent today, like he was every month around this time.

What was even worse was that James, Sirius, and Peter were gone as well. This wasn't as weird, but she couldn't imagine that they would skip this class after what happened last time. Ruby caught Reed's attention and asked her what was wrong.

Reed smiled, and shook her head, it wasn't any use getting Ruby or Lily worried with her. Ruby had enough to worry about when it came to Sirius anyways. When Reed turned back around, McGonagall was standing in front of her desk.

"I would like to know what's more important then my class." She said looking first at Reed, and then at Ruby.

"Reed is worried about Remus, because he's in the infirmary…again." Ruby said answering for the both of them.

"Ruby!" Reed yelled loud enough that the rest of the girls in the class turned to look at her red face and giggled.

Lily rolled her eyes at her two friends and studied the paper where she had written 'I hate James Potter.' Over and over and over again. Lily sighed, crumpled up the paper and tossed it in the trash bin beside her table.

"Did you hear me Ms. Evans?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Lily snapped her head up and opened her mouth to respond when the door flew open and Sirius, James, and Peter walked into the room.

"Sorry McGonagall, we had a… situation." Sirius said as he came in and took his place next to Ruby, while James took his place next to Peter.

Reed looked around; Remus didn't come in with them. She sighed and laid her head on the table waiting for the bell to ring. She turned around when something hit her on the back. She looked down at the piece of paper that sat on the floor behind her chair; picked it up, and quietly unfolded it. It was from Sirius.

"Remus is fine, so don't worry. Anyways, you'll probably faint in potions so at least you'll have an excuse to see him."

There was a little doodle drawn on the bottom of it, of what she supposed was meant to be her fainting in potions class. Reed turned around to glare at Sirius and dropped the note into the waste basket next to her table. Sirius made fainting motions as she glared at him and stuck out her tongue. Just as she was about to make an obscene gesture, she heard her name.

"Reed? We need you in the headmaster's office." Arthur Weasly said as he stood in the doorway of the transfiguration classroom.

"Okay." Reed grabbed her coat and the rest of her books as she followed Arthur out of the classroom and to the headmaster's office. While they were walking, Reed decided to ask Arthur what she had wanted to ask everyone today.

"Arthur, have you seen Remus today?"

"No, not personally. Molly told me she was up to see him already today though. Said he looked something terrible." Arthur replied whispering the password to the Griffin that guarded the headmaster's office, "Well there you go. He should be expecting you."

The pillar shook and then started moving in a clockwise circle, up until a stairwell was revealed. Reed waved goodbye to Arthur, who had already started to leave, and climbed the stairs to Dumbledore.

"Ah, Ms. Elliot. How are you today?" Albus asked as he was sitting behind his desk, reading something.

"Good, thank you." Reed twitched nervously. She had never been up here before, and the moving, talking pictures of all the past headmasters were making her nervous.

"I have a special request I would like to make of you, if you do not mind of course."

"On no, absolutely. What can I do?" Reed asked walking closer to the desk.

"I would've had Hagrid do it, or even another professor, but it seems that none of them are available."

"Sure, anything you need, I can get it." Reed said happily.

"I'd like for you to take a companion, as you shouldn't go alone, but go to Nocturne alley this weekend to pick up a few things for me. As you see, I'm much to busy to do it myself. Could I suggest taking James or Sirius with you?"

"Would you mind if I took both of them?" Reed asked, Nocturne alley made almost everyone but the Slytherin house uncomfortable.

"If you wish too, you may. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable," Albus finished writing whatever it was he was writing on a piece of parchment, and passed it to her, "This is a list of what we need. It's very precise, so please follow it to the very last letter."

Reed took the list and nodded nervously, what was so important that he would send a student, much less a non-Slytherin, to Nocturne alley? Reed took that as permission to leave, and headed for the staircase.

"Be careful, okay Ms. Elliot?" Albus said before she descended the stairwell. Reed nodded, and with that she left.

...

"Who needs 15 pounds of wolfs bane?" Reed asked skimming through the list that Albus had given her, "And wolves fur? What is he trying to make? Wolf bane potion? Why would he need that anyways?"

"Maybe Dumbledore is a werewolf!" Sirius laughed with James.

"You really think so?" Reed asked stopping to look at them.

"Well…uh, no. Why, would it matter if he was?" James asked.

"Well, no I suppose not. It would just be horrible is all. How could he run the school when he'd be so tired all the time? Poor guy."

"You have no idea." James muttered.

"What'd you say?" Reed asked turning her head to look at the two boys.

"Nothing!" Sirius yelled quickly.

"This place is creepy," Reed said as they entered one of the shops on the list. She passed the list to James and hid behind him.

"Sirius, is that who I think it is?" James asked pointing to a person with long black hair talking to the shop keeper.

"Dear god it is," Sirius sighed, "Hello mother!" he yelled making the lady turn around, to reveal Mrs. Black.

"Ah. Sirius, hello. Angus, have you met my eldest son, Sirius?"

The man at the counter shook his head and peered at Reed who was still trying to hide behind James.

"You girl, who are you?" She asked motioning for her to come forward.

James looked behind him; Reed had a look of shock and nervousness on her face. She looked like a deer in the headlights. James pushed her forward, enjoying her embarrassment.

"That's Reed!" Sirius said in a hurry, "Severus' girlfriend!"

"Sirius!" Reed hissed turning to look at him in anger.

"Really? Well aren't you adorable, come here, let me get a better look at you."

Reed stepped closer to Sirius's mother. She took Reed's chin in between her thumb and forefinger to get a better look at her face.

"Yes, quite a looker, don't you think so Lucius?"

Lucius Malfoy, who had been standing there the whole time, but no one bothered to notice, stepped out of the shadows to take a better look at the girl.

"And the freaks keep coming." Sirius whispered to James.

"Yes, almost as pretty as Narcissa, not quite though." Doing the same as Mrs. Black to get a better look at her face.

"Well, it was wonderful seeing you again Sirius. Behave at school will you? God knows you've already made enough of a mess for us." And with that, Mrs. Black and Lucius were out of the shop, and out of sight.

"What the hell was that for? You could have said something!" Reed yelled turning on the two teenage boys.

"Hey, don't look at us, we saved you. If you had been my girlfriend, my mother would have called you a whore, and some other bad names. And if I would have introduced you as an Elliot, you would have been wizarding trash. You know how my mother hates Aurors. But instead I introduce you as Severus' girlfriend, and she thought you were adorable. See how it works?"

"But! God, I thought they were going to rape me or something!" Reed shivered as she took her spot back behind James as Sirius asked for all the stuff on the list.

"Don't worry Reed, Mrs. Black is scary, but I don't think she would hurt you," James laughed.

"Yeah, says the boy who fed me to her in the first place."

"Kay, I got all the stuff!" Sirius said coming back with a large burlap sack.

"Good. I want to get back to Hogwarts as soon as possible, this place gives me a bad feeling." Reed said as she clung to James's arm.

"Alright, let's go. I want to get out of here as soon as possible too." James said, leading them out of the store. On the way back, they passed a candy store, and Reed asked them to stop.

"Why? You don't even like candy." James sighed, he was ready to get back even though they were in Diagon alley instead of Nocturne.

"I want to get Remus some chocolate." Reed said entering the store.

"Don't we get any?" Sirius asked, "Why just him?"

"Because you two weren't sick all weekend." Reed said looking though all of the colorful candy.

After paying for it, Reed dropped two little bags in each of their hands, "Here, I got you both some for coming with me today. So thank you."

"You are welcome!" Sirius said untying the bag and digging into what she had bought them.

"Look at this," Reed stopped and ripped off a poster from one of the shop windows, "It's horrible."

Sirius took the poster out of Reed's hands to examine it, "It's a bunch of rubbish. Honestly, I don't see the big deal about this guy, Dumbledore could off him in a second." Sirius said passing the poster to James.

"It's disgusting, that's what it is." He said as he threw the poster talking about the recently named He-who-must-not-be-named into the trash, "That guy is a pig."

Reed looked at the poster, crumbled up in the trash can. She had nothing to worry about. What Sirius said had to be true. Dumbledore was the strongest wizard in the world. There was no way that this monster could take over like he wanted too.

And then, for a single horrible moment, Reed thought about what would happen. This monster was only after non-purebloods. So in all reality she had nothing to worry about, she could prove she was a pureblood nearly nine generations back. If he asked her to join him or die, which would she choose? Reed scolded herself, of course she would rather die. Lily wasn't a pureblood. Neither was Ruby.

"Reed! Stop dilly-dallying! We need to get back to school!" James called, they were already a couple yards ahead of her.

Reed placed every single thought she had had about the monster in the back of her head. There was no use in worrying about it. Besides, he wouldn't get far enough to cause to much of a ruckus anyways. Reed smiled, and with one last look at the trash can, she ran ahead to catch up with James and Sirius.
