Both Expected and Unexpected Surprises
Chapter 4
Moonlight
James and Remus were both quickly getting ready in the cool room covered in darkness from the night. Remus, panting in the moonlight, gulping down wolfspane potion. And James, of course, was obsessively running his fingers through and shaking his hair. James straightened his tie and raised his eyebrows in the mirror.
"Lookin' good," he laughed happily.
Remus chuckled under his breath.
"I'm- a me-ss!" Remus huffed.
"Keep chugging moony…don't want to turn into to a wolf tonight of all nights" Prongs said flicking some spit off of Remus's robe.
They could just imagine Rebecca grabbing some punch when the brown fur, yellow fangs, and cold eyes take over Moony's warm-hearted body. Remus would attack uncontrollably, digging his sharp teeth in-
No.
It would not happen. Not tonight at least. Remus drank the potion. Not even the least bit of wolf instinct would appear tonight. It just couldn't. Unless their was a mix-up… maybe he drank the wrong potion… maybe something terrible-
No.
Everyone would be fine. Lily, Rebecca, and everyone.
"You okay?" Remus asked, capable of talking without panting now.
James blinked a couple times and realized Moony was at the door.
"Yeah…I guess I'm just…oh…never mind…"James sighed.
"You want everything to go right…I get it…you're just nervous…" Remus smiled.
James shrugged…
Thank God that it is just Remus
…he thought.
James spread out his arms to stretch. He couldn't believe that he thought Remus Lupin was going to attack everyone and turn into a werewolf after he had just seen him drink the potion.
"Oh, by the way, your hair looks nice and combed." Lupin grinned.
"What!?" James yelled aggressively messing up his hair.
"Just kidding" Remus laughed heading out the door.
James ran after him and laughed with him down the hall. He could see the door to the party after walking for a while.
Prongs peaked through. He could see Lily looking beautiful in her gold dress. She was laughing with Rebecca and her other friend Jane. How could she be that pretty?
Everyone from the slug club was there and stuffing sweets into their mouths.
"We're late!" Remus cried.
James nodded and walked in.
This was it.
