James's POV

I ran through the halls and to the front doors. As I yanked them open, and ran out, I saw that Snape had almost reached the tree, and that Lily was a good distance away. While she was safe, Snape wasn't going to see her before he reached the tree. I knew I had to act fast. Should I risk it? It's not like she's going to tell...Right? But what about Snape... stop it James. This is stupid. People's lives are at stake here! With a quick glance to make sure no one else was around, I threw of the invisibility clock, and transformed. With the speed of a stag I could easily reach the tree in time to stop Snape, or at least prevent him from getting hurt, and seeing Remus. I saw Snape reach down and feel around for the stick we used to prod the knot at the base of the tree. I increased my speed, hoping to reach him before he saw Remus. Just then I saw Lily at the edge of the tree. She had almost reached the stick (she must have seen Snape) but she couldn't see the huge branch swinging around to hit her. Uh oh I thought, quickly changing my direction so that I was running towards her. She still hadn't seen me when I slammed into her side, just as the branch swung above us. I quickly dragged her to the side, assuming she was unconscious, before she recovered and stood up. I realized that she had her eyes fixed on me, and was very much conscious. She reached out a hand and touched me as though she couldn't believe I was real. I didn't blame her. I'd never seen a stag on the grounds before either. Then I remembered Snape, and Remus, and quickly changed back. Lily gasped. "You're-You're and animagus!" I nodded grimly. "Did Snape go in?" I asked, and she snapped back. "Yes! He's in the tunnel! He-he'll meet Remus!" I was rather surprised "You know about Remus?" "Yes, yes, for a while now, but what are we going to do?" she replied impatiently. Right. Smartest girl in school. She was bound to find out…Unless Remus told her? Whatever. Focus James, Focus. "You? You're going to wait out here, and wait for me to come back out. I'm going to go in and get Snape out of there, hopefully before he can see Remus. And don't argue. There's no time." I said hurriedly, seeing her about to protest. She scowled, but stayed quiet. "Good." I said, and started to walk towards the tree, when it struck me that I might have seemed rather odd that I shoved her out of the way "Oh, and sorry for pushing you by the way. You were about to get hit." With that, I dove into the tunnel, and changed shape to catch up with Snape.

Racing down the tunnel, I heard Remus's growls of pain as he transformed. After a minute I saw Snape just down the tunnel in front of me, and slowed down to a quick walk… or rather trot. I quickly transformed again, and yelled to him "Snape! Stop! Don't go in there!" He turned around quickly, and stared at me. Then he sneered "Go away Potter. You can't stop me now. I'm about to find out where you and your pesky little friends go every month." "Snape! Don't go there! You could get killed!" He glared. "Are you threatening me Potter? Do you know what I could do to you? Now shut up and go away!" Damn you Snape! I could almost see why Sirius wanted to send him down here. Almost. Then I heard Remus roar, and heard him break down the door to the shack. Shit! He's broken free! "Sorry about this Snape." I grabbed my wand, and stunned him, but not before he glimpsed Remus as he came out of the shack. I slung him onto my back, shot a stunning spell at Remus, which momentarily stopped him, and changed shape again, racing down the tunnel, unmindful of all the bumps and bruises I was probably giving Snape. When I reached the end of the tunnel, I charged out, changed form, hit the knot with my fist, and dumped Snape on the floor. Seeing Lily get up and make towards us, I shouted at her to take him into the Castle, and dove back into the tunnel to stop Remus.

A/N Yay! It's done at last! It didn't take me all that long to be honest, and I wrote it in one sitting just now, so please forgive me if there are any spelling/grammar/stupid mistakes that I made

I will be updating more frequently now, I hope, so thanks for sticking with me while I was being too lazy to update

Bye
