Yeah, I'm trying to make up for my two-month absence, so here's another one! It's a bit more serious. These are getting longer.
Prongs - Normal
Padfoot – Bold italicized
Moony – Bold
Wormtail – Italicized
Lily - Underlined
So, Padfoot.
Hi Moony.
Remember what I said in the Hogs Head after your little slip-up?
Nope. Want to remind me?
He said he was going to kill you.
Oh yeah.
It's obviously something to do with Remus considering his reaction.
Lily, not now.
Considering my life is on the line, normally I'd encourage you Evans. But, in this case, shut up.
What Padfoot said, just nicer.
Full what?
You're not gonna drop this, are you.
Fine, I'll ask a different question. I've wanted to know this for a while now.
Thank Merlin.
What's with your nicknames?
Our…nicknames.
Now Evans, what nicknames are you talking about?
Prongs, Moony, Padfoot and Wormtail.
It's Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.
Whatever. I have a feeling they relate to full thingy.
She's good.
Hold on Lily, go away a sec, will be with you in a minute.
I'm not giving you a chance to come up with a cover story. Also, where do you go every month?
Um…
Should we just tell her?
YES!
NO!
MAYBE!
NO!
WHY ARE WE USING CAPITALS?!
I DON'T KNOW!
No, just no.
Tell me!
We can trust her. She's Muggleborn. She won't have grown up with the same prejudices we did.
I'm assuming that's a good thing.
It is. No.
Prongs is right though. I think we can trust her.
But what if she reacts badly?
Knock her out and drag her to Dumbledore.
What if we can't knock her out?
She'll be too stunned to retaliate properly. Hopefully.
What about you Prongs?
…I'll break up with her.
Whoa.
Seriously?
What?!
You'd do that for me?
Yes.
…All right.
It's that serious?
Lily.
Remus.
I'm a werewolf.
Lily?
Evans?
Write something!
Oh Merlin…
…Can I run now?
That's horrible!
Huh?
You have to go through that every month?
…Yes?
He's panicking.
I'M panicking!
You poor thing!
Wait, you don't care?
Of course I care! One of my close friends goes through hell each month! That's not good!
Are you going to tell anyone?
You can't tell anyone!
Why would I tell anyone?
Good!
Thank Merlin for that.
So that's why you're called Moony. That's so obvious! Why didn't I realise it sooner? Wait, how long have you guys known?
Since second year.
He didn't tell us though. We had to figure it out ourselves.
So, what about the other nicknames?
We're animagi.
WHAT!
Whoa, calm down Feisty pants.
But that's illegal!
We did it so we could join Moony on full moons.
He beats himself up if we're not there. I'm a black dog.
He's the Grim!
Padfoot…
I'm a stag.
Bambi…
Shut it, Black!
Prongs…Antlers!
Yep.
What about you, Peter?
…I'm a rat.
Wormtail! The tail!
Right again.
And Evans, no telling anyone.
I won't.
…
…
…
Lily?
Remus?
Thank you.
No problem.
