A/N: I'm inspired at the moment, so here goes. I'm going to enjoy writing this chapter, for some reason. I'm always kind of into making people p.o. ed at each other, why is beyond me... Maybe it's because I have no life. Please say it's not that... : ) I had to use Cadogan, cuz he's a freak!

Chapter 7: Cat and Wolf Fights
"We won, we won, we won," Jamie said, dancing on the steps up to the Gryffindor Tower. Her Quidditch robes were muddy from when they all killed James on the field.
"Big suprise, big suprise, big suprise," Sirius said, dancing mockingly.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up," Jamie said, kicking Sirius in the shins.
"Why are we saying things three times, why are we saying things-"
"Sirius, shut up," Lily said, rolling her eyes.
"Ok, ok, ok," Sirius said with a sly grin.
"Where's Remus and Tessa?" Jamie asked.
"Where's Remus and Tessa, where's Remus and Tessa," Sirius said under his breath.
"If you don't cut that out," Lily threatened. "They never came down. We waited in the enterance hall, but they never came out of the dormitories."
"You don't-"
"Sirius, don't even say it," James said.
"Ok."
"Did they get a new portrait for the door? When James and I came up for our robes, it was still being guarded by McGonnagal."
"Yeah," Lily said. "It's not the greatest one though."
"Who?"
"Sir Cadogan. You know, the one on the way to Divination," Sirius said, rolling his eyes. "'I challange thee to a joust!'"
"Ah, he's friends with Sirius," James said. "Remember that one time when he freaked out when you went up there?"
"Yes, Potter, I do," Sirius growled. "Nearly crapped my pants."
James doubled over in laughter. "It was so funny!"
"Sure it was," Lily said, walking up to the portrait. "Fairy lights."
"You may enter, fair lady," Sir Cadogan said, bowing low.
Jamie stepped into the portrait hole, but Sir Cadogan closed on her leg.
"Ow! Hey! I need that!" Jamie said, trying to pull the portrait off her leg.
"You did not say the password, you imposter!"
"Hey! Get off of her," James said, trying to pull Jamie's leg out.
Sirius, of course, was laughing in the hallway.
"You know how stupid you two look?" Sirius asked.
"Fairy lights!" Jamie gasped, and the portrait swung open, making James fly into the wall.
"You may enter, but I'm going to remember this, imposter," the knight in the portrait said.
"Yeah, and so am I," Jamie said, helping James up.
"Fairy lights!" James and Sirius declared together and went into the common room, afraid for their lives.
But, the sight in there was even worse.
"My GOD, Remus! I can't believe you!" Tessa was yelling.
"What's going on?" James whispered to Lily.
"I dunno," Lily said, looking at the two in suprise. "I suppose this answers where they were."
"Tessa! Just because-"
"Don't you Tessa me! Remus, you have been very mysterious lately, and I want to know why!" Tessa said, her hair all over.
"Tessa, you're making us like an old married couple! We've been going out for a week!" Remus yelled. "You aren't my mother or anything!"
"Remus, you just don't get it, do you," Tessa said, putting her head in her hand.
"Don't get what?" Remus asked, crossing his arms.
"Remus, you are doing everything that adds up to you cheating on me!" Tessa said, looking at Remus in disbelief.
"What?!" Remus yelled. "Me? Cheat on you? I've never been more insulted in my life!"
"Come on, Remus! You were gone three days last week, and didn't tell anyone why, not even me, your girlfriend! Why not? I'm sorry, but I think that your mother get's sick far to often," Tessa said.
"You know what, Tessa?" Remus asked, throwing a chess game off of a table in anger. "This isn't going to work. You don't need to know every little event that happens in my life!"
"Fine," Tessa said, looking at Remus, and backing up. "Fine, but don't come crying to me when you are lonely."
With that, she disappeared into the girl's dorm.
"Oh, wow, Remus, are you ok?" Jamie asked, rushing forward to him.
Remus sat on a couch, looking at his friends with tears in his eyes.
"I can't believe that just happened," Remus said quietly. "I, you guys know me, I hardly ever lose my cool like that."
"It's ok, we know," Jamie said quietly, sitting down next to Remus.
James and Sirius looked around uncomfortably and Jamie nodded slightly. With that, they dashed to their dormitory.
"I'm gonna... go talk to Tasha," Lily said, and Jamie and Remus watched Lily walk into the girl's dorms.
"You going to be ok?" Jamie asked Remus.
"I don't know what happened," Remus said, looking at Jamie.
Jamie nodded. "It happens to the best of them," Jamie said. She noticed that there was a long scratch down the side of his cheek that she had never noticed before. He also had some bruises that were unfamiliar to her. His normally brown eyes looked dull and hollow.
"Yeah," Remus said quietly.
"Why were you fighting?" Jamie asked.
Remus looked at her again and said, "You know something? I don't know. It just, you know, happened. One minute we were playing chess, the next we were yelling and screaming at each other." He stood up suddenly and walked over to the fireplace.
"It's ok, Remus. Tessa gets over stuff fast," Jamie said from the couch, looking at her friend. Remus and Jamie had never been very close, but seeing him like this hurt.
"Yeah, but, Jamie. I don't think I can get over it," Remus said, turning around sharply. "She accused me of cheating on her. It's not my fault I'm a were- crap."
"You're a what?!" Jamie screeched, standing up.
"Jamie, you can't tell anyone," Remus said desperatly, running over to her. "Not Lily, not Tessa, not anyone. Only Sirius, Peter, and James know."
"How-What-Why?" Jamie stammered. She had just found out her friend was a werewolf, and she was brought up thinking that werewolves were evil.
"Please," Remus said, grabbing Jamie's arm as she tried to back away. "Jamie, I'm your friend. I have been for years. You know that I'm not like the other ones are. You know the Whomping Willow? Well, quite frankly, I don't think I'm going to be able to get past that. Now, please, Jamie, you have to trust me."
Jamie looked at Remus uncertainly. "Why didn't you tell us? We had a right to know."
"I couldn't, Jamie. You know how everyone is saying that werewolves are evil and all that, well, quite frankly, I have had no friends. I thought that there was no chance in the world I was going to get into a school. I turn into a werewolf once a month. You know how bad that is? It's like PMS, times fifty," Remus explained. "Believe it or not, it's like I'm a girl, and I don't like it."
Jamie couldn't help but smile. "Remus, you have to tell Tessa and Lily."
"But-"
"Remus."
"Fine," he said. "But, if they say or do something irational, you're dead."
"Well, maybe not Tessa, you know how she would act if she found out something bad about a 'traitor'" Jamie said.
"Ok, you tell Lil."
"You do it!"
"No, I'm going to bed. Goodnight," he said, and disappeared into the boy's dorms. Then, he stuck his head back out, and said, "Jamie, please, don't tell her."
Just then, the rest of the Gryffindor house came in from dinner.
