About an hour later the four of us were sitting under the tree by the lake in fits of laughter. You see we were bored so Deanna hit Lily with a cheering charm, who hit me who hit Charlie. The charms were so strong it was almost like drunkenness.

I fell down and was on my back in the latest fit of laughter when I looked up from my spot on the grass I saw Black and Potter standing over me. Potter looked over to Black.

"What do you thinks wrong with her Padfoot?" I couldn't help it I burst into another fit of laughter, at the word Padfoot. I rolled over onto my stomach resting my head in my arms with my eyes rolled up looking at him

"You know Black, the name Padfoot doesn't suit you, they should call you Snuffles cus your just so god damned cute. So I'm going to start calling you Snuffles now, ok Snuffles"

I started laughing again; Charlie, Deanna, Lily, James, Remus and Peter who just walked up behind them did too.

Sirius just looked at me "Whatever you say Rosette."

"What did you just call me?" I asked confused

"Rosette," He said in a duh type voice.

I didn't get to reply again someone hit me with a cheering charm again. I rolled over on my back clutching my stomach laughing again. After another half an hour the cheering charms wore off.

"Rosette we nee..." I interrupted Sirius oh sorry Snuffles in mid sentence. "Snuffles, why do you keep calling me Rosette?"

"We'll tell you just not here, we need to talk to you."

I jumped up to my feet. "Where to?" Potter grabbed my arm and led me away towards the castle. I called over my shoulder, "Back in a bit guys." I heard Lily say something that sounded like. "Figures, the American ditches her friends to go play with the boyowww!"

Charlie or Deanna must of hit her or something to get her to shut up. We were about halfway between the Castle and the lake when they stopped.

"So boys what's up?"

"Well, Rosette..."

"Wait first you guys tell me why your calling me Rosette." I said interrupting them again.

James sighed "Rosettes are what a leopard's spots are called right?"

"Yea, so."

"Well it's your new nickname, like mine is Prongs cuz I'm a stag and Padfoo..." He smiled "Oh sorry I mean Snuffles is a dog so you're Rosette."

"Practical, very practical." I said

"Yea, anyway like we were saying we need your help."

I raised one eyebrow. "My help?"

Remus spoke up this time, very carefully he sounded unsure like he shouldn't be telling me something. "You see Ellie, when I was 9 I got attacked,"

"Attacked?" I sounded worried and confused. He took a moment before he spoke again.

"Yea, attacked, by a werewolf." He waited for a moment as if waiting for me to be horrified or run a round in circles like a headless chicken screaming at the top of my lungs. I just nodded trying to encourage him to continue. He did. "I survived but, I..." He trailed off. Potter spoke up." He survived the attack but was turned into a werewolf." Remus took his cue. "Every full moon Prongs, Padfoot and Wormtail help me get to the shrieking shack where I turn." "Where do I come into this?" I asked.

"Well you see Rosette." Sirius started talking again. I swear he just loves the sound of his voice. "A dog a stag and a rat," He motioned over to Pettigrew. "Can get him to the Shack, but he's fast, and we do often get hurt."

James cut in and took over. They both love hearing the sound of their own voice; I swear neither of them ever shuts up. "With a leopard that is more built for speed, the four of us could get him there and pretty much no one would get hurt."

This was all a little much I mean Remus has been my friend for a while, I knew there was something a bit odd, but a werewolf. "I…I've got to think about this, I'll get back to you I stood up and started to walk away I heard Remus say.

"I knew we shouldn't have told her, we scared her away." I walked into my dorm room and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling trying to process that sweet, kind, and slightly shy Remus was really a werewolf.
