Hey, guys! I haven't updated this story in about a month…sorry… anywho, here's chapter seven… hope you guys like it. :) Dedicated to my older sister…you know who you are. :) Love you! From Remus's POV
"What is the difference between an Animagi and a werewolf?" Remus asked Peter over the book he was holding. Peter's face screwed up, as if he were trying his best to remember.
"A werewolf can't decide if they want to transform or not, nor can they decide when they are able to," Sirius said, not seeming to notice the question was made for Peter. Peter scowled at Sirius.
"Thanks, Padfoot, for answering my question," he snapped.
"Sorry, mate," Sirius said. "Gotta be faster nest time, don't you?"
Remus chuckled a bit as Peter narrowed his already small eyes at Sirius. "I'm perfectly capable of answering simple questions myself, thank you!"
"He was just trying to help you, Wormtail," James said, moving his attention back to them. He had been looking at Lily Evans with a dreamy expression on his face. "No need to get so worked up."
Wormtail sighed. "I know, sorry, mate. I'm just a little overwhelmed. I mean, with this and studying for the exams, not to mention a ton on homework…it's just difficult."
Remus nodded, understanding what he meant. He didn't have to study to become and Animagi, but he did have to help the others, study for his exams, do his homework, and think of ways to cover his being a werewolf from others. Like Snivellus.
He had been tailing them for the past few weeks, as if trying to figure out where Remus kept on going every month. Snape was just determined to find out what they were doing. He would listen in on their conversations, trying to hear what they were talking about. James had starting calling it his 'furry little problem,' which Remus and the rest of the Marauders found hilarious.
The Marauders. That was the name they came up for themselves. It just sounded good. Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. They wrote that on everything. If they pulled a prank-'they' means James and Sirius with Peter watching excitedly and Remus sitting quietly and acting as if nothing was going on- they would write that. It was kind of fun.
Remus yawned and shut the book he had on his lap. "What say we continue tomorrow?"
"I'm all for that," Sirius agreed, setting down his quill. He nudged James, who was again staring at Lily. James jumped slightly but said, "Yeah…let's go to bed…"
They packed up all their things and went up to their dormitories. As Remus lay in his bed, he thought of what his life would have been like if he hadn't met them. Probably lonely, he thought simply.
OKAY! Sorry it's short… not very well written, either, but if you like it…YAY!
