Chapter 25

Hogsmeade Then Full Moon

"Yeah. The Marauders are going to be pranking a couple of Slytherins..." Sirius replied as he grinned evilly.

The other Marauders high-fived, as Michael spoke, "Whose the Marauders?"

It had become the weekend, and everyone was going to Hogsmeade on Saturday. Izzy wanted to spend her whole day with Michael, because that would be one of the last days that she would be seeing him. He was leaving on Monday. Sirius wanted to spend the day with her, but he understood and instead was going to spend it with the Marauders, planning revenge on his brother and Xander. Lily wanted to stay at Hogwarts to work on school stuff. They decided all this Friday night, and then they all went to bed.

Izzy woke that morning, excited and a bit sad. She took a shower carefully working around her white bandage on her neck. Then she slipped into a pair of light blue jeans, and black wife-beater. She put on her dark make-up and changed the balls on her tongue ring from plain red ones to lime green ones. She looked in the mirror, and smiled. Izzy pulled her wet hair into two braided pig tails, that fell down barely past her shoulders. Her bangs fell into her face, she tucked them behind her ears. She went back into her room quietly, so she won't wake Lily. She pulled on her army boots and laced them up. She looked through her wardrobe trunk until she found her leather jacket and her red beanie. Izzy put on her jacket and pulled the beanie down on her head, to the edge of her eyes and the beginning of her braids. She carefully went down stairs, where her brother was waiting for her. He smiled at her, she smiled back. He was wearing a pair of black baggy jeans and plain white T-shirt, with a green army jacket un-done.

"Ready?" he asked her.

"Yep. Where's the other boys?"

"They left to get breakfast." Izzy nodded. That was so like them.

"Let's get breakfast and head out." Izzy said and then led him to the Great Hall. There were few people in there. The Marauders were sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table, near the teacher's table. Izzy went over and sat beside them.

"Sup guys," Michael said sitting beside them also. Sirius and James gave a little wave.

Peter squeaked a 'hi' and Remus politely said, "Good Morning," Izzy started eating. Michael then put some bacon on a plate for himself.

They ate breakfast, then the six of them went out, heading to Hogsmeade. Michael threw on some sunglasses, even though the sun wasn't out. It was a dark, cloudy day. It looked as if it would rain any minute.

"I've never been to a wizards village," Michael said with excitement in his voice.

"Like you've never seen Qudditch either," James rolled his eyes.

"That was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life!" Michael said. "You are really good at flying,"

"I know," James said, messing up his hair.

Izzy rolled her eyes, "Don't encourage him,"

"What's that supposed to mean?" James asked.

"It means you have a big head Prongsie," Remus chuckled.

"I don't have a big head, and don't call me Prongsie!" he scowled.

"Hey that reminds me. Full moon tonight," Sirius grinned. Remus groaned.

"What about full moons?" Michael asked curiously.

"Nothing." The five of them rang.

"Yeah. Sure." Michael said in a voice as if he didn't believe them, but didn't say anything else on the subject.

"We must part here," Sirius said in an overly dramatic voice, as they got to the village. "Men to Zonko's!" He pointed in Zonko's direction and they headed off.

"Where do you want to go to first?" Izzy asked him, putting her arm in his.

Michael shrugged, "You know where you're going."

"We'll just see where we get," She answered and then they walked forward, not really knowing where they would end up.

The two siblings walked around Hogsmeade stopping in few stores or pubs that look interesting. . Mostly they just talked, but the weirdest one they stopped in was store that had an old Gothic looking sign in front of the dark dusty windows. The sign read 'Dark Arts'.

"Let's go in," Izzy said. Michael shrugged. They walked in, a bell rang as the door opened. Michael shut the door behind them. It was a small store, with leather covered books covering the back wall on tall dusty shelves. On top of them looked like real skulls. There was a couple looking at the books, they're backs to Izzy and Michael. To the right were jewelry, of crosses, skulls, swords, chains, everything Izzy liked. Then to the left, there was a check out counter with a old bald man behind it. He had his arms crossed, staring at the couple at the back. Izzy dragged Michael over to the jewelry part of the store. She was checking out all the stuff, wanting to buy all of it. Then she heard her name, and she turned around. It was Xander, and a girl. They were holding hands.

"Hey Xander," She waved at him. "Who's this?" She pointed to the girl.

"This is Adi Ryan. My girlfriend," He anwsered. She nodded at Izzy. She was average height, with a tan complexion. She had wavy blonde hair, that fell just above her shoulders. Her baby blue eyes shone beautifully, being brought out with blue eye shadow and light eyeliner compared to Izzy. She was very pretty. Izzy also noticed Adi had a Ravenclaw scarf on.

"Hi. Xander talks about how nice you are," Adi said to Izzy. He talks about me?

"Thanks I guess," Izzy said to Xander. Xander just shrugged.

"Is that your boyfriend?" Xander nodded to Michael who was looking at a necklace, his back turned.

Izzy made a retching noise, "No. He is my big brother,"

"I've seen him around campus. Why is he here?" Adi asked.

"Just to take care of me. He is leaving Monday," Adi nodded.

"Hey Iz. Check this out," Michael called, not turning around.

"We've got to be going anyway. We are supposed to meet Regulus later." Xander said.

"Nice to meet you," Adi smiled.

Izzy smiled back, "And you," Then she turned to her brother as the couple left. "What?" He picked up a cross necklace by the chain with one finger. It was old looking, with a gothic look to it. It had a red round jewel in the middle of the crossing point. It was beautiful.

"I love it!" Izzy said, taking it from his hands. She looked at the price tag. She could afford it. She brought it to the counter, pulled out her money to pay for it. The old man just glared at her. "Something wrong?" She looked at him.

"I'm not taking your money. Get out of my store."

"Why?" Michael asked standing beside her.

"Because you are a muggle. I don't sell to muggles." He said in a cold voice.

"Well I'm a witch," Izzy said coolly.

"So? He is a muggle," He pointed at Michael.

Michael laughed, then flared his fangs, "Not a full muggle am I?" he asked. The mans eyes got big, and shook his head slowly. "Now take my sister's money, so we can leave." Michael crossed his arms. The man nodded and shakily took Izzy's money. Izzy took her new necklace and the two of them went out. Once they got outside they both started bust up laughing.

"You really shouldn't have done that," She said between laughs. She pocketed the necklace.

"I know but did you see his face?" He said, making his fangs going back up.

She nodded, "Priceless. Let's go into The Three Broomsticks." She said. He nodded. They made they're way over to the pub, before Izzy could open the door, two boys ran out. They were soaking wet and had no clothes on except boxers. Izzy did a double take and recognized that it was Xander and Regulus. She shook her head in amusement and then led Michael in. Most of the people in there was laughing. Izzy spotted the Marauders in the middle of the room, laughing the hardest and high-fiveing. Izzy and Michael made their way over to them. "Do I even want to know?" She asked them.

"No," Remus said. Beside them was Adi, who was also laughing.

"Thanks for getting them here Adi," James said.

"No problem. That was hilarious. But now I have to go find them. Later boys," She waved and walked out of the pub.

"So you've had your revenge?" Izzy asked Sirius. Sirius nodded, smiling at her. "Good,"

"Do we want to know?" Peter asked. The couple shook their heads. The six of them talked over a butterbeer, then went back up to the castle.

"I'll stay out with Izzy," Sirius said, as the five of them stood in front of the Whomping Willow. Izzy had to stay out while Remus changed, then the four of them would usually come out and they would run around, until the sun came up. They gave him a weird look. "To keep her company," James, and Peter shrugged then went into the Whomping Willow, where a waiting Remus would be.

"What do you really want me out here for?" Izzy faced him.

"I want to talk to you." He pulled her close to him, with his arms around her waist. "I don't want to keep this a secret anymore. I want to tell everyone. I want to do this is public, with out hiding." He kissed her on the lips.

"Me too. I was going to ask you sometime soon," She kissed him back.

"Ok. So tomorrow?" She nodded, then kissed him again. They heard a howl, Izzy waggled her eyebrows. "Here we go," he said. They broke apart, and transformed. Remus, James and Peter came out of the passage. Remus howled when he saw the two of them. Izzy howled at him back. This was going to be a good night. Izzy thought, as they all made their way into the Forbidden Forest.
