Alight Chapter 3 everyone, lets hope I can get 4 done tonight. And as always please review!

On the third day of Christmas the Marauders gave to me Three Animagi,
Two Bad Puns,
And a Werewolf and a Willow Tree.

"Okay guys," I said. "So, what's the big surprise?"

My friends told me earlier that day they had an early Christmas present for me, but that had to give it to me that night in our dorm. The all looked at me with huge grins on their faces, and then James stepped forward.

"Well, Remus," he began. "We've known about you being a werewolf for a little over three years, right?"

"Yes James," I said, unsure about what this had to do with anything. "That's about how long you guys have known."

"So," said Sirius. "When we found out we decided to find a way to help you out."

"Yea," said Peter excitedly. "So we did some research and found out just how we could help you!"

I looked at them suspiciously, wondering what they had done.

"Okay," I said, wanting to find out exactly what they were talking about. "What did you guys do?"

"Okay Remus," James said. "But this stays between Marauders only, alright?"

"Yes James, now please tell me."

"We became Animagi Remus."

I was dumbfounded. They had become Animagi for me? What would that do to help with my lycanthropy? Do they realize what they did was illegal? That they could go to Azkaban for doing this for me?

"You what?!"

"We became Animagi. Look," Sirius said. "We did the research and found out that werewolves aren't a danger to Animagi. So…"

"So we decided to become Animagi to help you out during your transformation," James said.

"You guys can be serious? Sirius, don't even try," I said seeing my friend about to make a pun out of this. "But really guys, don't you know this is illegal? You guys could go to Azkaban for this! I don't want you guys to get in trouble because of me."

"Remus," Peter said. "Do you think if we cared we would have done it?"

"Peter's right," James said. "We don't care, as long as this makes your transformations easier that's all that matters."

"So no matter what I say, you guys won't change your minds, will you?" I asked.

They all shook their heads and smiled. I knew I couldn't convince them not to do this; that it was too dangerous. Even with these thoughts in my head I was grateful, grateful that I didn't have to go through the transformations alone anymore. I smiled back at my friends.

"Thanks guys," I said. "This means a lot to me. So what animals are you?"

Sirius and James smiled and bragged about being a dog and a stag. Ironic that Sirius was a dog. Seeing as he was named after the Dog Star. I looked at Peter who wasn't as excited about his new form; which happened to be a rat. I reassured him that being a rat wasn't all that bad; that he could fit into smaller spaces and was surely faster now. He thanked me, and the rest of the night the Marauders talked happily about the holidays.

And we apparently had nicknames now; James was Prongs, Sirius was Padfoot, Peter was Wormtail, and I was apparently Moony. Moony, hmm…Sirius must have come up with it (it being a pun and all), but, somehow it suited me.
