Dear Lily,

I long to spend time with you alone!! Meet me in the Forbidden Forest tonight at midnight. You know the spot. Be on the look out for Filch and Mrs. Norris. The have been rather jumpy since Potter but Dung Bombs in Filch's file cabinet.

Truthfully Yours,

Severus Snape

"Ewwww!!!" screeched Arabella Figg. When she first saw the note she assumed [A/N: Tsk Tsk people NEVER ASSUME] it was another letter from Sirius. But the dote Snape was confused her bag with Lily's

"Why is there such utter commotion when I haven't pulled anything?" Sirius wondered out loud to Arabella. She pulled Sirius aside by the neck of his robes and muttered,

"Meet me in the Owlry after Charms."

"IN DAYLIGHT? WHOO-HOO! I'm there! But won't the owls get all flustered?" squealed Sirius. Arabella slapped him and hissed,

"Not that you hormonally charged beast! We need to talk." Sirius bared a cheeky grin and raised his eyebrows. He turned to go to Transfiguration with the other Gryfindors when Arabella added,

"Siri, you dropped your quill!" Sirius absent=mindedly (and I shudder to think why) bent down to retrieve his quill at the same time a loud notorious flatuation noise ringed through the corridor. Arabella burst into hysterical laughter and recommended,

"You better ease off the beans!" Sirius cursed under his breath for being tricked into such an elementary prank but couldn't be heard from the booming laughing by the second-year Slytherins and Arabella joined by her Ravenclaw friends was already at the end of the corridor heading towards Charms.

Arabella studied the door to the owlry carefully. She had a feeling that Sirius got there first and wasn't going to be in one of his more pleasant moods.

"Alohomora!" she mumbled and the door burst open. Other then a few owls fluttering no one was there and everything was still. Dead give away that Arabella.

"Come out Sirius I know you're here," warned Arabella but only an owl stirred.

"Black you're not funny! Come on I'm serious! Actually, take that back you are!" Arabella laughed at her own pun at his name. Forgetting her fears Arabella strolled into the owlry. No sooner had she stepped down she stepped in owl feces. Mumbling curses towards the aviary species she sat on a clean portion of the stone railing. She shivered realizing what a cold day it was in early December and she had failed to put on her cloak because she had no Herbology or Care of Magical Creatures classes that day. She waited twenty minutes. Leave it to a boy to be late for something as important as this. Her stomach growled telling her that she was missing dinner. She looked out into the dusk sky that had started to cloak the grounds with shadowy darkness. She glanced towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest. She blinked and in the next moment saw two figures gliding around the edge closest to the Quidditch field. Snape somehow notified Lily thought Arabella. Screw Sirius, Lily is going to cost Ravenclaw some major house points! She tore down the tower stairs making her way out to the grounds. But because she was so high up by the time she got outside the mysterious figures had disappeared. Well let's just say that thank God Arabella wasn't a cat because she would have been killed. [A/N: For those who don't know the famous Chinese Proverb: Curiosity killed that cat. Get it. Got it. Good] A strong breeze stabbed her face and made her cling to her thin robes. She strided towards the area she them last but to no avail did she see them. The sun had set and though the moonlight was strong she could hardly see her nose.

"LUMOS!" she cried sticking out her want and started to walk in the forest. Her ears were sensitive to any noise but heard nothing by the rustle of leaves she stirred. She walked aimlessly deep into the forest and was on the brink of getting thoroughly lost when she could faintly see a clearing up ahead. A huge majestic willow stood in the center of the clearing with gnarling branches and thick roots urging to trip you. She thought she could faintly remember Dumbledore warning the students in her first year to avoid such a tree but could not for the life of her remember why and just shrugged it off. She was about to pass it when she thought she heard whimpering coming from behind her. She pointed her wand in the direction but found nothing and the whimpering had ceased. She began to step again and carefully leaped over roots and ducked at low twisting limbs. The wind let out a huge gust and her wand slipped out of her sweaty hands and the light it casted went out. Arabella cursed in the darkness. She hunched down feeling for her wand until she found it at last and shouted,

"LUMOS!" but nothing happened.

"Cursed twig," Arabella grumbled. She began searching again until she picked up something again and confirmed,

"Willow, eleven inches and a hair from a centaur in its core. LUMOS!" Finally she was able to see again! She stood herself up only to be face to face with a werewolf
