-Into the Flesh by Pink Floyd
I can't help but wonder what in the fuck they could want, I mean I love my cousin but really why would they need me? Er to go or not to go oh great now I'm curious and have to go….
"She will not be joining you Black so if you could please turn around and walk away." hissed Severus even though his face was blank you could just feel the malice coming off his words… aww Severus cares
"Snivellous my cousin can speak for herself I do believe so if you don't mind please shove it ya dirty git!" Sirius damn near shouted drawing his wand
"Sirius fine what do you want?" I let out a small sigh knowing this would inevitably lead to some form of detention.
Sirius looked around "Layla we need to speak with you in private, so come on!" with that I was hoisted and literally drug out the great hall by Sirius and Potter, and into an empty classroom..
Sitting me down on a desk Potter started "Layla we need someone who can help us brew this potion, its really advanced and none of us are anywhere near as good as you are at potions"
"What potion is it?" I asked slightly curious
Sirius looked back and forth between Potter and Lupin waiting for one of them to say it, finally Lupin stepped up to the challenge and whispered nervously "Mans Wolfsbane"
"Layla it's a fairly recent potion, you may not know what it is but-"
I cut Sirius off "I know what it is it's a potion that relieves but does not cure the symptoms of lycanthropy…wait why would you guys need Wolfsbane?"
A very pale Lupin stepped forth, and that's when I knew Rems Lupin was a werewolf, I wasn't scared or anything just kind of fascinated, I mean a werewolf at Hogwarts without anyone figuring out over the last seven years. Really wow I was impressed.
"Layla, Im a werewolf" started Lupin nervously,
"Layla" Sirius cut in "you can't tell anyone at all!"
Potter broke in "Layla we researched it and all you have to do is make the potion once a month,"
"What about when school ends, what then? You let him go back to his unaware self when he has transformed?" I questioned coolly
"Then I will find some other means of providing it, but Layla you are my only hope as of the moment, will you please do it?"
I had known my answer since he had told me he was a werewolf "Yeah I will"
One very relieved Sirius picked me up and swung me around "Thank you Layla, really god this is so great"
"Well Padfoot I'm sure she would prefer to be on the ground." smirked Lupin with that Sirius sat me back on the desk
"Oh whatever you act like you know my own cousin better then I do." snorted Sirius
"Sirius you haven't really talked to me in seven years." I stated
"Well we are gonna get to know you now, I mean really your like family practically" for some reason I had a feeling he was telling the honest to god truth. I chose to ignore that and move on.
"So how are we gonna get ingredients?" I questioned
"Well we hadn't really thought of that maybe Slughorn's cabinets?" James nodded to Sirius's suggestion.
"Well the only problem I could find with that is that Slughorn won't have all of the ingredients needed." I thought hmm maybe knock turn alley will have them
" Well look Layla don't worry the full moon isn't until the 27th, we will figure something out soon." said Remus looking down.. At his shoes, why was he looking at his shoes? I wonder
"Layla if you will please stop staring Remus down you can leave, we will abduct you at some later time." oh god they noticed I was staring ugh I was flushing. Oh god he was flushing too poor Remus redder than a rose. I figured it was high time I make my leave
"Bye guys see ya" as I walked out the door I couldn't help but to feel welcome around these three.. Wait three were is Pettigrew?
"Tootles Layla darling" yelled Sirius and James
"Bye Layla" whispered Remus knowing she couldn't hear it
As I was walking through the dungeons toward Sluggys classroom, I realized what sort of mess I had gotten myself into, I a Slytherin was helping three Gryffindors, one of whom was a werewolf, one of the most dangerous creatures in the wizarding world, and I had befriended them, while I was soon to get my dark mark, and here I was helping Gryffindors, I soon would have too fight these people soon if I became a death eater because for sure they would join the order, unless I choose to betray my family and join the Order, oh god Layla Black you have really gotten yourself into a mess now.
