A/N: Oh my gosh. I haven't written in like, a month, and I hope you all haven't given up on this story! The reason I haven't updated is because I wen't on a two-week vacation right before school started, and then school kept me very busy. But don't worry, I'll be updating about once a week from this point on. If you don't remember what last happened, I suggest you reread the last chapter to refresh. Again, I have to give a big thank-you to readers and reviewers who have stuck with this story from the beginning. I apologize for any mistakes.


The first thing Lyla said when she came to, was:

"TEETH!" She said this as she sat up wildly.

I heard my mother's footsteps coming to the door, so I rapidly threw Lyla a camera, thinking fast. She swatted at it in midair and it landed next to her on the bed.

"What was that?" my mum asked.

"Lyla was just taking a picture," I felt the words flow out, "she was telling us to smile with our teeth."

Lyla kind of ruined it by shrieking, "TEETH!" once again. Fortunately, Joanne didn't ask any questions, and left the room.

After Lyla had calmed down a smidge, she asked us what had happened.

Sirius was first to speak. "Remus almost got you. He almost bit you. But James here saved your life."

Lyla gulped and said in all seriousness, "Thank you so much James."

James just nodded. He was really, really tired. He had saved two lives in one night, Lyla's and Caitlin's.

"Anyway," I started up, breaking a silence. "Sirius, James, and Peter were just going to tell us all about Remus Lupin being a werewolf."

"Yeah," Sirius picked up the conversation, "but before we do, I need to know that none of you are against Remus now. Because of his er…wolfiness. I mean, you know that he's still the same guy."

"No," Caitlin said immediately, "we're not prejudiced."

"Alright." Sirius struggled over to the bed in his crutches. "So, Remus's been a werewolf since before he came to Hogwarts. But we only figured it out at the beginning of last year. Haven't you ever noticed his constant once-a-month absences?"

"Yes," Caitlin said.

"Well, now that you mention it…" Kayla stated as well.

"So now, in order to keep Remus in check during his transformation," Sirius continued, "Peter, James and I are each going to become an Animagus. We're working on that."

Lyla, Caitlin, Kayla, and I just stared at them vacantly.

"You've gone bonkers," Lyla said. "You're both nutters."

"No," James announced patiently, "we are not nutters."

"Alright then," I said. "Unregistered Animaguses?"

"Yep."

"Well," I went on, "you do that."

"You mean you won't tell?" Sirius asked.

"Of course we won't tell!" Kayla said.

"Alright. Good. Hey, what time is it?"

Caitlin checked the clock. "It's…ten-thirty. Later than I thought."

"Oh crap! I've gotta get going. Sneaking in is going to be harder than sneaking out."

James told Sirius, "It's okay, I'll let you borrow my cloak… I mean, that black one, so you blend in with the dark."

Sirius raised an eyebrow. "You have it with you?"

James looked around frantically for a second, and then said, "Oh. Sorry. I'm so used to having it on me everywhere I go."

"That's okay, man. It'll be good practice."

"What are you gonna do?" Lyla laughed. "Rob Gringotts?"

Sirius smiled, and answered, "You'll see." Then he exited the room.

Just then, James's parents came into the room. "It's time to go," they said. James left after Sirius.

We looked to Peter to comment on Sirius's last words. "He's just talking about pranks," he said. Then he left with his parents too.

Soon all the party guests were gone, and I was alone in my room, wondering about Remus, where he was right now in werewolf form. Then my thoughts wandered to Sirius. Had he gotten home okay?

I sure hoped everyone would be alright.


A/N: So, this one was a shortie. But I'll be updating soon so please don't comment on how short it was. However, as always, I would like you all to REVIEW. I do accept anonymous reviews. And to clarify, James was talking about his invisibility cloak, but he made up a quick lie because the girls didn't know he had one. So, did you like this chapter? Please, please tell me!!! The next chapter will start in their fourth year. Thanks!
