"Ahem" Professor Light the transfiguration teacher was clearing his throat and trying desperately to get the class to pay attention to him. The class looked up as if to see if he was serious. Seeing that he was serious they turned back around to continue their conversations. "Excuse me!" Professor shouted and this time everyone shut their mouths and paid attention. He sighed and continued speaking. "Today we'll be starting more complex transfiguration than you have ever been exposed to...." he droned on while the eyelids of most students were drooping closed. James though was scribbling a note to Lily.



"Lily... WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH!?" he folded the note and tossed it at her head. It, of course, bounced off onto the ground. She turned around and glared at James, who merely grinned back. She looked around for the note and found it. She picked it up and read it. Laughed slightly and wrote back on the same paper.



"Dear James... Why do I hate you? Since when was it my decision. As far as I remember it was you who tormented me!" She re-folded the note and tossed it over her shoulder and James caught it. Professor Light looked up and saw him just as he tucked the note into his robe pocket. He shook his head and droned onward. James slowly took it out and read it slowly, three times over. Finally scribbling back to her "Meet me out at the Quidditch pitch tonight at midnight we'll talk then... Light keeps seeing me and its sorta irksome." He refolded it along the already severely creased edges and tossed it back to her. She caught it this time read it over quickly and mouthed "Okay" and turned around.

Dinner was rather uneventful... other than the caretaker Crystal Wave. She rushed into the great hall tears running down her cheeks and asked for Professor Dumbledore to talk. He of course rushed to her aid. James didn't notice much. Instead he slopped mashed potatoes into his mouth choked down some pumpkin juice and hurried off to the common room. Sirius looked at him oddly but let him go. He hurried up to his dormitory to finish his homework he had a lot and knew he must get it out of the way early. He quickly got to work on Arithmancy moved on to Transfiguration... the list goes on. Finally at a quarter to 11 he had finished the entire weeks homework. Pleased with himself he reclined in his chair and allowed his back to regain its natural form. Everyone else had gone up to bed and all that was left was James and a few other 7th years scattered randomly around the room playing chess. He turned his attention to the fire dancing around in the fire pit. Golden flames licked the logs placed into it. Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple... the flames mesmerized him into a sleep needed for days. His watch alarm woke him promtly at 11:30 and he hurried to the Quidditch pitch, too caught up in Lily to think of the apparent dangers of being out at midnight during a full moon. He soon found himself in the center of the pitch alone. He plopped down on the dewy wet ground and waited. Soon he saw a flash of red as Lily made her way to him. She didn't look happy about being out at this time but came to sorta things out.



*~*~

Remus rushed out of the common room and through the giant doors leading to the ground outside. He could feel the transformation coming on and it hurt like a mother. He felt more hair sprouting from the roots of his head and arms. His legs scratched with incoming hair. He looked around frantically to see if anyone was around but he had changed entirely and spotted Lily.

*~*~

Just as Lily entered the pitch a hungry yell sounded and James saw a werewolf rushing towards her snarling. She turned around and screamed a high pitch scream. "JAMES HELP ME!" she whimpered as the beast came closer and closer. James quickly turned himself into the stag and rushed forward to Lily. He scooped her up onto his back and kept running. He ran toward the whomping willow. He heard the tiny girl on his back whimper in apparent fear. He galloped on through the winding passages under the willow and led Remus through. Remus roared in frustration and backed James up against a wall, but within a split second the two were out again and the werewolf was left behind unable to get out. James transformed back into a teenage boy and Lily fell off into the ground. She rocked back and forth shaking violently. Glancing up she saw James, his robes torn in places exposing his skin. She put her head back into her hands and continued to rock back and forth and shake violently. James plopped down next to her and put his arm around her frail figure. Lily jumped back and crawled away tears streaking her pale face. She jumped up suddenly and rushed back to the castle crying. James let out a cry of frustration, ran his hands through his messy black hair and rushed after her.
