James groaned along with Remus and Peter as they got dragged out of their sleep by a loud bang from their dormitory door, simultaneous protests were heard as Sirius ripped open the curtains of each of their beds. Having only just been woken up, they were all tired and adjusting to the light headaches that Sirius had gotten over fast.

James was shaken particularly hard awake, Remus placed a hand on Sirius shoulder to get him to stop, but Sirius was pale, breathing heavily looking to most likely be in shock and panic. Still he shook James and started yelling "WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! OR I WOULDN'T HAVE... oh merlin..."

Sirius fell onto his knees and buried his face into his hands before sitting back and dragging his knees to his chest, arms wrapped around them with his face hidden in his knees.

Remus put an arm around his shoulder in a comforting manner extremely worried now, as was James who now had his glasses on to see what was happening. "Sirius what happened? You weren't found out being an animagus were you!"

Sirius mutely shook his head indicating no, James frowned and sat on the edge of his bed thinking of all the possibilities of what could be so bad, then asked somewhat embarrassedly "Did Hagrid catch you and get you neutered?"

Sirius mumbled "Wish he had."

Remus frowned with James, James attempted to lighten the mood joked "Well mate it's not like you got a girl pregnant."

Sirius didn't move.

James groaned rubbing his forehead in frustration "Oh merlin Sirius tell me you didn't!"

Sirius didn't move, he mumbled so quietly that Remus only heard him "I shagged a bitch... literally."

Remus was confused "What do you mean by that? She couldn't have been that awful."

Sirius looked at him with wide eyes, "You shouldn't have heard that."

James crouched in front of Sirius "What did you do? Just tell us, and we can help you."

Sirius swallowed heavily "I didn't get a girl pregnant exactly."

James raised an eyebrow "Well I can't exactly see you getting a guy pregnant..."

Sirius bit his lip, "It's all you're fault! If you hadn't ditched me than Daisy Chain..."

He ducked his head once more, Remus was trying to put the information together before he paled as well "Sirius tell me you didn't..."

Sirius nodded weakly, James out of the loop looked to Remus for help, Remus sighed "Think James, wished he's been castrated, not a girl exactly, and what exactly is the definition for bitch?"

James answered "Bitch? Well that usually means female dog...Sirius tell me you didn't!"

Sirius groaned "I was drunk and as I say you left me!"

James clenched his teeth "Yeah but I expected you to at least have some sense rather than shacking up with a poodle!"

Sirius glared and said back "Border collie actually and anyway why are you blaming me! Your the one who said 'Hey lets get drunk on Halloween!'"

James glared back "Well I didn't count on you being desperate enough to do it with a dog!"

Peter finally waking up asked tiredly "What's going on?"

James and Sirius yelled at the same time "SHUT UP!"

The yelling wasn't helping Remus's growing headache wasn't being helped by the yelling, so his patience finally waning he growled out "Shut up all of you!"

They all knew better to argue with an annoyed Remus so they all wisely stayed quiet, Remus sighed "Thank you. Now Sirius are you positive you...well you know."

Sirius smirked slightly "Such a prude Moony. But yeah I'm positive, she said so."

Remus ignored the insult to frown once again, "She said so?"

Sirius mirrored his expression "Well yeah.. now that I think about it I could understand her when I was human again as well."

James pulled out his animagi book from his trunk and flipped through the pages, "Says nothing about that in here mate, I know we can communicate to each other when we're in our animal forms, but it says nothing about understanding animals in animagi or human form. Do you think she's an animagus?"

Sirius shook his head "No she's definitely a dog."

Remus always the voice of reason asked sensibly "What are you gonna do now?"

Sirius made his way to his bed, "Get some sleep and forget about it I guess."

Remus followed behind him "Sirius you can't do that! What about if she is in pup?"

Sirius shrugged "What can I do?"

Remus stopped "Sirius I know you're in shock and you aren't thinking clearly right now but you can't leave this alone."

Sirius climbed into his bed, "Who says I can't? Wild dogs do it, mate then leave. It's the way the world works."

Remus stared at his friends back, "But Sirius that's just it, you aren't a dog, you're human, therefore you can claim responsibility for your actions."

Sirius grabbed his wand casting a spell closing his curtains, he said "Well try being in my shoes! If she is in pup, I'd be the father of a dog! That's not exactly natural, now leave me alone!"

They assumed he cast a silencing spell as he didn't answer them any more, James sighed "Don't worry Remus, he'll come round."

Remus nodded "Yeah I know, as I say right now I think he's in shock."

Peter looked between James, Remus and Sirius closed drapes, "Um what's going on?..."
