Discalimer: I do not own Harry Potter at all...
Remus woke up, earlier then he normally did. Although it did make up for how late he woke up yesterday. Remus felt sick, it wasn't as bad as the normal full moon feeling but pretty close. Remus knew that James would not have been up yet so he just sat in his bed thinking about tonight. Little did Remus know that James was awake, he too was in his room, but he was getting ready to go downstairs, he saw that Harry was awake, because he was outside on the broom, even though it was 6 in the morning.
James was worried about Remus; Remus had always said that James overreacted since he found out about Remus' lycanthropy. He also said that the only person that acted almost normal was Lily. James was wondering if Harry and Ginny knew that he was an Animagus. Would it matter if they knew now? Harry seems to know all about his life at Hogwarts, probably thanks to big mouth Remus. He was really never part of there 'plans' but he heard about all of them, he was only part of the small ones.
James looked out the window, Harry was still flying around, but Ginny was up a broom as well. She flew really well; she would be perfect for a pro-Quidditch team. James walked down to the bottom floor, no one was in there but Kreacher, and James just ignored him. When James walked out side, Hermione was in the same chair she was in yesterday when he was flying; the only difference was Ron was sitting with her. So James conjured up a chair, but made sure it was far away from them, he went right under Remus' window. When James glanced up and noticed that Remus' window just opened. He called for a broom 'Accio Broom.' It came straight to him; and jumped on it and up to Remus' window. He tapped on the window and waited for Remus to walk over to it. As Remus walked over to it James glanced down and no one seemed to notice him up here.
"Oh James, your awake."
"I've been up, actually we are all up." James said nudging his broom a little over to his right, Remus saw Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny all outside.
"I'll come out then." Remus said, he knew that soon his strength to do everything would leave him, but that normally didn't come till close to the full moon reveling itself. James then flew back down and Remus soon came out. James brought him over to where he was sitting and brought another chair for Remus to sit. When James sat then they just started to talk.
"I'm going to turn into Prongs tonight."
"No." Remus firmly said.
"Yes, I'm going to. I'm sure Harry knows, he's my son, you must have told him."
"I would not have told him. Don't you remember the Marauder's oath?"
"I'm not mental, of course I do! Although it said only if you do not have the permission from the other Marauder's permission and I give you my permission right now. So now that that's cleared up. I will be turning into Prongs and I will accompany you as a werewolf." James declared, as if that was the end of the discussion. Remus was trying to fight a lost battle, he just gave up.
Remus was frightened for the full moon to come; he just really wished that it come already. Though, it might not be as painful, but he was still dreading James becoming an Animagus. What if these guys didn't know about him becoming an Animagus in there 5th year? Then they would be in some trouble, maybe he could just ask it in a normal conversation. This was harder to do then when James accused Remus of wanting date Lily, Sirius and James both ignored him for a month. He went crazy trying to tell them that he only liked Lily as a friend. That was during the end of there first year, so they didn't know about him being a werewolf.
So when Harry and Ginny said that breakfast was ready, they all walked inside. It was the normal breakfast, bacon and eggs with pumpkin juice. When they where eating Remus was just listening to Hermione talking to Ginny about something called S.P.E.W.
"The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is starting to finally give in to my S.P.E.W plan. Kingsley has already agreed, he agreed to it last week, now there just going to pass the laws."
"Hermione, you've been on the spewsince 4th year. Why haven't you given it up?" Ron said.
"First of all, its not spew,Ronald, its S.P.E.W I've already told you it stands for Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. Also, if I had given it up, then house-elf's would start being treated like vermin again. We don't want that again, do we? Plus as I just said, it got passed by the Minister, so it's only a matter of time until it's passed as a law."
"Hermione, what in the name of Merlin could be a law about house-elf's?"
"Where they are allowed to wear clothes and the way to let them go is to tell them that there fired. I have also said that they should get sick days, and payments."
Kreacher muttered something that sounded oddly enough like 'Muggle-Borns'. At least he didn't say Mudblood. Harry shot him a glare and Kreacher left the room.
"He's getting better; remember when he use to call me a Mudblood?"
"Yeah, I almost punched him."
"Ron, you will try to kill anyone who called me a Mudblood. Draco?" Ron just laughed
"At least I didn't punch him." Hermione blushed.
"Anyway, are you doing ok Remus?" Hermione asked.
"Better then usual." Remus said with a smile. Ron whispered something to Hermione.
"Honestly Ron, don't you listen? It's a full moon." Hermione glared at Ron, and he moved away from her.
"Well," James said. Remus gave James a questioning look and James nodded. Good, Remus will not have to ask, James will do it. "I obviously know that you know about Remus turning into a werewolf but I was wondering if you knew about-"
"You turning into a Stag?" Harry finished off his question for him. "We all do. So, why did you want to know?"
"Well, seeing as it is a full moon, then we-I" James fixed it when Remus threw him an annoyed glance. "wanted to make sure that you knew about me being an Animugus so I could accompany Remus."
"I didn't even think about that." Hermione sighed. "I think you should." James nodded.
"Good, I'm glad that's settled." After everyone was done with breakfast then Remus and James went back outside, everyone else followed.
"James?"
"Mmmm?"
"Where are we going to go when I change?" James froze.
"I did not think about that. The Shrieking Shack?"
"I doubt we can go in there anymore."
"True. Well where else could we go?"
"That's what im wondering."
"A forest?"
"What if there are people camping?"
"Again true, maybe Hermione has a place around her?"
"No, all she has is water."
"Ok, what about here?"
"Where here?"
"I think there is a barn here, I really never knew why Sirius' parents had one, but I know that there is one here."
"Let's go and look, was it on the side?"
"Yeah." So they walked over to the side of the house and a barn that looked like it could hold maybe half a dozen horses sat there. Remus could not believe he had ever seen it before. I was painted green and silver, the Slytherin colors. James flicked his wand at the colors.
"Darn, everlasting colors." James sighed.
"Oh well, it's only for a night." Remus shrugged.
"Yeah."
"Well good now I think we know all we need, you can turn into your stag, and we can come into here." Remus walked over to the doors, they where not animal sized, but human sized. Remus and James walked inside; the inside was painted red and gold.
"There we go; Gryffindor colors." James smirked at the colors; he loved seeing anything that was in Gryffindor colors, especially if it was in his room.
"This will work, I guess." Remus said walking around it.
"Good, we better leave. We can come back in here, let's say 5 minutes till?"
"Yeah, I guess 5 minutes will work." James and Remus left the barn.
"Well, I'm going to go fly some more."
"You always fly when your bored James."
"It was that, try to get Lily to go out with me, or torment Snape. Although seeing as Lily is already mine, and Snivellus is dead, that all I have left to do." With that James jumped on to his broom and flew up with Ron, Harry, and Ginny. So once again Remus was on the ground with Hermione, although this time she was not reading she was just watching Ron fly around.
"Hey Remus."
"Hello Hermione."
"Where did you go with James?"
"Wh- oh we where just looking for a place for me to go when I go into werewolf form."
"Did you find somewhere?"
"Yes, the barn."
"I hate the colors on the outside."
"James tried to change it but it was everlasting paint."
"Yes, I remember Harry trying to change it too. It never worked, he left yelling at it. It was very funny, though." Hermione said with a grin.
"I'm wishing for tonight just to come already."
"Why?"
"So I can get this stupid transformation over with."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah."
The day did pass pretty fast. Teddy and his grandmother came, Remus and James had to transfigure themselves again, and then when she left Teddy they fixed there features. Remus spent an hour with his child. He didn't want to spend a lot of time because if he got too attached then it would just be a huge mess, then he would not want to go home. He saw that Teddy was a Metamorphugus. He kept changing his features, but when he changed his hair, it would always change from pink to light brown. From his mothers to his fathers hair.
They all ate dinner early, and as soon as dinner was over Remus and James went out into the barn. James had turned into a Stag in a blink of an eye. Not a moment later Remus was turning into a werewolf.
When he had finished transforming, then he could sense human blood, he was still craving it a little, but surprisingly not as much as usual. Usually as soon as he smelt the human blood he would always try and get to it. Although, he did try and get to it about 3 times, James had stopped him all three tries. Thanks to James turning into a Stag then they where able to run around as the hours passed. Remus was actually able to keep a cool and calm head James also stopped him from biting himself, before the Marauders knew he was a werewolf, he use to bit himself, he still had the scars to prove it. This was one of his best transformations yet.
Around 7 A.M the moon disappeared and Remus turned back into himself, James changed back too. He knew that Remus would be weak; he always was after a full moon. So James helped Remus out of the barn. Although when he opened the doors, Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry with a big buddle of blankets that was probably Teddy in his arms, where sitting there. Harry helped James bring Remus up into his room, they laid him down and he slept until mid-afternoon. When there was a scream from downstairs.
Authors Note: So, how did you like it? I was going to get into more discribing of Remus and Teddy, but then this chapter would be over 3,000 words. So I'm sorry if you wanted to see them two together. What do you think the scream was for? I just want to see what you thik it is. Drop me a review and tell me. Or just review on the chapter.
Thank You: Thanks to all who has alerted, added, or review-ed? Is that a word? Thanks you my reviewers SiriusBlack345, and PrincessSkywalkerOrgana. Thanks :D Virtual Hugs!
