Sector 2: The fight ends... The work begins.

They all went to bed, feeling grumpy, as Remus had sort of rubbed off on the
other four.
The next morning, Remus awoke, feeling refreshed, and a little bit sorry for being
so rude to Sirius the other day. To his surprise, everyone was already gone- down to the
dining hall- he supposed.
He let out a sigh as he pulled his robes on and wearily trudged down to the dining
hall. The rest of the gang must have also been feeling better- because the greeted him
with smiles and a plate loaded with toast, jelly-Remus gave a joking glare- and some eggs
and sausage.
Remus muttered an apology to Sirius and then, much to his surprise, Sirius
grinned and told him he'd only forgive him IF he were allowed to explode one
firecracker per hour they worked on the report. Remus agreed.
Feeling much better about the subject, on the way to their first class- Defense
Against the Dark Arts- Remus filled Sirius in on the acromantulas.
When they were through with Defense Against the Dark Arts, and on their way to
Transfiguration, it occurred to Remus that they entire troop had been unusually happy
today- peter not included, he looked slightly nervous. He decided that he would ask them
what it was at lunch.
For the first time, as he sat in agony, wondering why they were all so cheerful-
Remus was actually miserable in Transfiguration. He didn't even bother to raise his hand
to answer an incredibly easy question. Professor McGonagall noticed this and pulled him
aside after class to see if anything was wrong, Remus assured her it wasn't.
At lunch, he was suddenly enlightened, as he burst out, " Okay! Okay! You've all
been smiling all morning! What kind of secret do I need to be let in on?"
Sirius provided a somewhat provoking answer, "Which one? Oh, never mind!" he
finished quickly, "I'll quit being a jerk and tell you! You know how we're doing our
project on acromantulas"- Remus nodded-"well, I happen to know there are some in the
Forbidden forest for hands on"- "NO!" Sirius didn't even get to finish his sentence
Remus looked extremely aggravated-"I don't want to go out of bounds! You know we
can't go into the Forbidden forest" Sirius gave him a pleading look. "And no puppy
eyes!" Remus finished.
"But Remus," Sirius said, purposely giving him puppy eyes, "Think of all the
extra information we could get!"
This was something even Remus could not refuse! His friends could see that he
obviously wanted to go and now he had a reason.
"Well..." he said slowly, " It would help if we had a model while we were
speaking-"
"Exactly!" James interjected. You could tell he was eager to have them go so he
could come. "You need a model and maybe some first hand experience on how to deal
with them!"
"And how to defend against them?" Peter questioned, it was clear he wasn't to hot
on the idea of going out and catching one.
"Of course!" Lily assured him, "we're going to figure out how to defend against
them as well, right everyone?"
Sirius grabbed her hand quickly, patting it, "Of course, Lily, dear!" he grinned and
ducked James' hand that was aimed for his head.
It was settled. They would all-except for Peter- go out into the woods and look for
acromantulas on the next full moon. It was clear that they weren't sure what they could
do, but had all figured it would be something good. The next full moon was in two days.
Giving them just enough time to plan where to meet in animagus- and other- forms.
