Okay! Chapter 2! When I checked, it was a thousand words shorter! *facepalm* Oh well, I'm still having fun!

Disclaimer: I don't own HP, it belongs to J.K. Rowling! I only own Jennica, Anna, and Christie, 3 of my OC's.

It's now my third year at Hogwarts, and I really enjoy it here. It's sad to know that I only have 4 more years here until I graduate. I have to make the best of it.

This morning, the third week that school started, I woke up feeling really psyched. I don't know why. But it turns out it wouldn't stay that way. When I got up, and when I looked out the window, I saw the strangest thing.

A dog. A big black dog. And there was something else moving beside it.

I never saw a single dog around the campus before. Weird. Then I heard a POK!, and turned around. It was my Divinations book. It fell down and I don't know how. I walked over to it to pick it up. But then I saw the page had a picture of a black dog. Kinda like the same one I saw a few seconds ago. I picked it up, and put it on my lap. The book said it was called a Grim, a mysterious black dog, and if anyone saw it, it is said to say they would die soon. Woah, woah, woah. Hold it. Does that mean I'm going to die? Well, of course everyone dies at some point. But will I die soon is the question.

I just stared at my book, until Anna woke up, got ready, and went up to me. She saw me just staring and put me out of my trance.

"Um….Jen? Hello? Earth to Jennica?"

"Oh…! Um…. Sorry, let's go…" I said, standing up and stuffing my book into my bag. I was trembling a little, and I didn't like it.

The two of us walked down to the hallway and said the password. It was Willow Whisk this week. We walked past the paintings that were alive and said 'good morning' to most of them. As we climbed down the stairs, I saw Remus and his friends talking and walking over to the Grand hall for breakfast. I'll ask him later, he should know…. I thought.

As we entered the hall, I walked up to Remus at the Gryffindor table and Anna and I sat beside him, and I noticed he looked really tired. I wonder what happened?

I didn't say anything for a while, I was just looking at him. He didn't notice me yet, until finally I said, "Um…. Mornin'."

He looked up from the book he was reading, saw me, and I just saw a sliver of a smile. "Morning." He replied.

Ok. This was it. Time to ask him.

"Something really weird happened to me this morning." I continued.

"Really? What happened?"

"Well, when I looked out the window, I saw a big black dog, and – "

He looked a bit shocked.

" – and…..what's wrong?"

"Oh…. Um… nothing…. Go on… what happened next?" He shook his head. And gestured me to go on.

"uh…. I checked my textbook and saw it was called the Grim, so I'm not really sure, but…"

"That wasn't the Grim." He interrupted.

"I….What?"

"That wasn't the Grim." He said again.

"How… how do you know?"

"I just…know."

He was acting weird. Wonder what happened.

"Um….. ok. If you say so." I went back to eating my breakfast, while Remus did the same. Then we went our separate ways to go to our different classes. My first class was potions, and the teacher, was nice. But the room was kind of creepy. It was dark and I think, even though the teacher was nice, he was the headmaster of Slytherin, and our headmaster was professor McGonagall. I keep forgetting his name, though. I got the potion right, I think. I was just trying to understand the book and I guess you could say I was just mixing and mixing stuff. Anna was doing the same. When the teacher, I think his name was professor Slughorn, came over, he looked at ours and he said it was fine. Ok then, off to the next class. Then Next was Charms. This is the first class I had with Remus. Anna and I looked for a table and the only one available was the table beside Remus'. We sat down there, and I saw Remus talking to his friends, not noticing me until the boy with glasses saw me sitting down. He grinned and had a naughty look on his face. It was creeping me out, like he was going to play a prank on me, I had to be careful.

Class started, and professor taught us how to make our books fly, with the spell wingardium leviosa. And she swished and flicked, the same time she said it, and her hat flew. That was really cool. Then she told us all to try it.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Then I swished and flicked my wand. Nothing.

"Wingardium Leviosa…" I tried again, nothing. I looked beside myself to see how Anna was doing. She was trying and trying, but no luck either. I looked around the room, not many were doing it. Most were failed attempts. I looked to see how Remus and his friends were doing. Not surprisingly, he was the only one able to do it. I looked at my work, and tried again.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Still no luck.

"Try prolonging the word 'Wingardium'." A voice said behind me.

I looked to see who it was. It was Remus.

I was kinda surprised and inched back a little.

"Oh. Um…..ok…" I tried it.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" And I swished then flicked. It still didn't work. "uhm…."

"Try flicking it like this." He grabbed my wrist and slowly showed me how to flick it. I was turning a bit red. NO!

I heard some snickering, and I saw Remus' friends laughing a bit. Great. I'm an embarrassment. Then I heard a whimper.

"Remus! Remus! Help me, PLEASE!" I recognized that voice, it sounded like nails on a chalkboard to me. Then I remembered Diagon Alley, two years ago, the girl that laughed at me. Her voice was horrible. Remus sighed. "Ok Christie." He walked over to her. And I rolled my eyes. She is SO LOW.

I saw Remus walking over to her. For the first time I actually noticed her features. She was the same height as Remus, her hair was golden blond, and she had Blue eyes. And she was acting so innocent and everything, but people would never know how terrible she was to me. I guess everything always happens to me…..

It was really annoying and I could tell I wasn't the only one who thought that. I heard some grumbling, and turned to see Anna sticking her tongue at her. I was silently laughing at that sight. It was weird, immediately hating a girl I only saw twice in my life, and I never talked to her. But the second I saw her, I knew were enemies.

I really didn't hate her SO much, I barely knew her. But this was until she saw me staring at her and she grinned and looked at me like haha. Loser. I got him first. After I saw her look at me like that, I felt like any second I would kill her. Oh well, she's risking her life insulting me.

Remus was helping her do the swish and flick move, but she looked like she knew how already. Hmph. Nevermind her, I have to work on my spell.

When class ended, I was about to leave when suddenly I felt something hit my head. What the-? I thought. I turned and saw Christie giggling hard. I looked down and saw a goblet on the ground, she must have hit me! I gave her an evil look, turned around and walked away, ignoring her. I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw Anna smiling.

"What?"I asked.

"Oh nothing, I was just wondering…." She was still smiling.

"Wondering….?"

"Do you like him?"

"What?... I have no idea what you're talking about."

"you know very well much what I'm talking about." She said back, still smiling. We were talking while walking down the corridor to get to the Gryffindor common room.

"No…." I was turning reddish. "Who are you talking about...?"

"Uhm…..Remus? Duh?"

"NO WAY!" I said. We were walking to the Gryffindor common room, and then I saw Remus. Then I whispered to Anna "Shut up dude, just quiet down, ok?"

"Okaaay!" She said, laughing to herself and inching away.

We walked in silence the rest of the way back up. Well, not exactly. Anna was trying not to laugh the whole way. And I was trying not to punch her. Ok, that's it. I have an interesting taste in friends.

Back at the common room, Anna and I were studying up for our astrology test for tonight, when Remus' friend with glasses came up to us.

"Are you Jennica?" He asked me straightforward.

I looked at Anna, she shrugged. "um….. yeah." I turned to answered back.

He grinned; and continued on. "Ok, you see—" all of a sudden a hand grabbed on his collar and pulled him back. Remus pulled him away and said to him, "What are you doing James? Stop it." He sighed and pulled him back to us. He introduced him to us. "This is James, one of the most mischievous people around here," James waved to us and said hi. "along with—" He stopped and called behind him "Come out now guys, I'm not stupid y'know."

The other two of his friends came out, smiling. Remus pointed to the tall, rich-looking one, and said "Sirius Black. And this is Peter." He pointed to the last one. "And the four of us form a group called the 'Marauders'. The other two – Sirius and Peter, waved as well. Remus let go of James' collar. And basically we all stared at each other. There was no one else in the common room, so there was an eerie silence.

Anna and I looked at each other, and I nodded to her. "Ok! Nice to meet you guys." She smiled and clapped her hands together. "Yeah" I said as well. "But can I ask? Why were you guys hiding?"

The three of them laughed while Remus closed his eyes and turned red a little. "Well, it's because—" Sirius said, but was interrupted by Remus coughing really loud. We all looked in his direction and we all turned to look at him. He said, "Well, nothing really, I'm sure it was because they wanted to play a prank on the two of you." He paused, looked at his friends and said, "RIGHT GUYS?" They were all laughing, but they nodded.

"um…. Ok." Anna and I said in unison. "Well, we have to go now, see you guys around." I said. We got up, grabbed our books, and rushed to the library. I heard right before I left the room, Remus say "Thanks a lot guys.", and more laughing.

As we were walking down the corridor to the library, Anna made a comment about his friends.

"Very weird, the four of them together, huh?" she said.

I wasn't really listening, but I heard her and mumbled "Um… I guess so…"

"And Remus doesn't really fit in the image, does he?"

I was still mumbling. "I…ah… guess not…"

I guess Anna finally noticed I wasn't really listening and said "What are you thinking about? Remus?" She was grinning at that thought.

"No… I was thinking about this black dog I saw that looked like the Grim."

"The Grim? Seriously?" Her expression changed to shock.

"Yeah… It kinda looked like that friend of Remus', Sirius."

"Really…..ok…."

She looked at me with a perplexed face, the rest of the way there.

We entered the library silently and found a place to sit. The library was huge and the shelves were uber tall. But the books would just fly up to you, if you couldn't reach it. There were lamps and candles spread out evenly on the tables and shelves, so there's lighting everywhere. It was a bit crowded today, so it took us a while to find some seats. When we did, we put down our stuff and wandered off to look for some reference materials. I saw a book on a farther shelf about different monsters that live in… um…. Well…. Where we are….. I don't know exactly where we are, but…. Yeah. Just…in this area.

It looked cool and I pulled it out of the shelf to examine it. It was black and dusty. It looked really old, so it made it look even awesomer. (Sorry, I'm using my dictionary) I blew the dust off and went back to the table to meet up with Anna. She was looking at some other things that I don't really care about (no offense Anna) and I opened the book. There were vampires, and zombies, imps, and finally, werewolves. That page was the most interesting.

Hmm… Werewolves are humans by day and turn into werewolves on the full moon. They have sharp claws and are feared by muggles and magicians alike. When I read the page, a thought came inside of my head.

Wait! Those scars on Remus' face…. Don't tell me—! Oh gosh, I have to ask him… but what if I'm wrong? I'll wait and see if something comes up…

There! That's the end of chapter 2! Suspense... hehe...
