Me: I'm in the story again!
James *smirks*: As a voice again?
Me: Nope Prongsy! Not just a voice this time!
Sirius *face palm*: Oh Godric.
James: Farali doesn't own Harry Potter, just herself, Esmeralda Lupin, Annabelle Clary, and Kaila Toll.
xXCOMMANDERXx: And I love you too, random citizen! LOL, JK... I know who you are. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FIRST REVIEW! *glares at other readers who aren't reviewing*
...
Kaila turned her attention to James and Lily. It seemed whoever was in James was smart, flirting desperately with Lily and pointing out how perfect he was.
But whoever was in Lily was enjoying every last bit of it. Kaila knew that in Lily was James, Peter, or Severus. She instantly ruled out Severus. Severus would hate James flirting with Lily, not be encouraging it!
But it could either be James or Peter, maybe. Kaila was confused. If it was James, would he be defensive of someone other than him flirting with Lily? Thinking it was another guy in his body? Or would he enjoy watching himself flirt with Lily? It was hard to think about.
James was eating steak and Lily looked a bit put-off because of it. Again, like Peter and James, for they both didn't like the things rare. All of the steaks were rare, hardly cooked. Lily, however, was eating chicken, with a small side salad. James would like the greens, while Peter would like the extra food. Kaila snapped in frustration.
What she did admit to herself was that that meant Annabelle or Esmeralda was in James. AND it had to be either Annabelle or Esmeralda in Remus. So no one else could be either of them.
Before eating James went to Lily for a kiss and – Kaila had never dreamt of this coming – while James aimed the kiss for Lily's cheek, Lily took his chin gently and led his lips to hers. Peter and Sirius dropped their forks in shock and perhaps slight annoyance. But, then again, so did Esmeralda.
Whether it was Sirius or Remus in Esmeralda, both boys were protective of Esmeralda and Annabelle. That didn't help.
Finally, there was Severus. He ate chicken with a sauce on it. It appeared to be a nice, creamy, cheese sauce. Who could be in him? Lily, Peter, or James. It was really narrowing down. He sat on Lily's other side – which was believable, as they were close friends – and watching James and Lily earnestly. Lily would be watching them so it didn't get carried away. James would be watching to make sure the person in him wasn't messing up. Peter would be watching because he may still think James was James, and therefore be amazed at everything he did. But, James was not James. James was Annabelle or Esmeralda.
She slowly ate dinner and everyone else followed suit. It got later.
Finally, once everyone finished, the so-very-useful Farali came back on. "Will Remus and Esmeralda please leave to the entrance room? And Kaila too?"
The three left.
Suddenly, a door opened. Farali walked in. Remus, Esmeralda, and Kaila raised their eyebrows unbelievingly as they saw the ever-elusive Farali.
She had straight dirty-blond hair a little past her shoulders. She was fairly tall, for her age. Her light blue eyes were behind glasses with dark blue frames. She seemed pretty average and young for how much havoc she caused. Which was a lot of havoc.
Kaila's face turned confused, "You're Farali? What? You're… young. Like, what, a teenager? You have glasses? You're tall?" Farali was quite a bit taller than Kaila, who was only 5'3" "You write pretty awesome fanfictions on a few sites, and you write your own novels?"
Farali smirked at her, "Yeah. I'm young, have glasses, I'm tall, and everything else you just said."
"What's your real name?"
Farali scowled, "Do you know how I write good stories? I'm smart. So why in the name of Dobby would I tell you my real name?"
Kaila did a face palm, "You said 'why in the name of Dobby'… you're Farali." "Thank you. Now onto business."
Farali cracked her knuckles, and gave them all a hard stare. "So, tonight's the full moon. Surprise, if you didn't already know. But of course, neither of you are Severus or Lily… so you won't be asking me why I'm telling you. Luckily, those who know how to be animagi that are in the bodies of animagi can still become animagi, if you read me. We have… two people who will be helping then, James and Annabelle. Which, of course, ought to help you a little, Kaila."
Kaila's eyes widened. "Sirius is in Annabelle then! Remus isn't an animagus! Which also means…" she turned to Esmeralda. "You're Remus!"
Esmeralda smiled awkwardly, "You got me there."
Farali snatched Esmeralda's wand while she was distracted, and held it up to her throat. "Sonorus!"
"I would like to say that Kaila has made progress! She has decreed that within Annabelle is Sirius, and within Esmeralda is Remus! Quietus." She gave Esmeralda back the wand as she heard James yell "THANK GODRIC!"
Kaila smirked, "Well. We're getting somewhere."
...
So, will you be able to solve the mystery before Kaila Toll? If you have a guess, review! GUESSING IS NOW OPEN! Oh, and you don't have to have a guess to review... non-guesses are welcome. Try to beat Kaila to the answer!
Your guesses may show up on here!
Not giving any hints this time!
AN: And, yes, that was actually me, Farali, in the story. Please shut your mouths before you attract flies. I know I'm gorgeous. Deal with it. ;)
