"We have to go and tell the teachers," James saud softly, trying to keep his voice steady. "Otherwise the whole school will know and be in a panic."
"Like they won't be tomorrow!" Sirius exclaimed. "A murder was just committed in our school by a werewolf! I think there's going to be some panic."
"You...you don't think it was Remus, do you?" Peter asked fearfully.
"That thing was female," Sirius stated. "Oh, come on you guys, be serious! Anyways, it wasn't Remus. But I bet you I know who it was."
"Come off it," James snapped as they jogged down the hall. "Its not Tala. It can't be."
"We'll have Lily check," Sirius stated in a knowing tone. "Then we'll see."
The teachers confined all students to their common rooms that night and the next morning, having breakfast sent there instead of the hall. Everyone was curious as to what had happened, but only James, Sirius, and Peter knew...and they had been sworn to secrecy. And as Sirius had predicted, Tala was not in the common room, nor was she anywhere else to be found.
"Peter, tell me what's going on," Camerane pleaded, cornering the pudgy teen in the far corner. "If you don't tell me I'll read your mind and figure it out anyways!"
"Fine, but you can't tell anyone," Peter broke, after the fifteen minutes of interrogation. He whispered the tale into Camerane's ear and her eyes went wide with surprise.
"Are you serious!" she hissed. Peter nodded.
"Peter, you spilled!" James scolded, pulling his friend aside. "You dolt! Dumbledore made us promise-"
"She was going to read my mind anyways," Peter whimpered.
"You don't ever like to be left out, do you Cammy," Sirius sighed. "Its okay, Peter. But you can't tell anyone else, alright? And that goes for you too, Cam."
"Duh," replied the multicolored haired girl.
"Alright students," McGonagall called, entering the room looking very tired. "You may go to your first class, the sitiuation has been taken care of."
"What happened, Professor?" someone called.
"It doesn't concern the students," McGonagall replied. "Now get to your classes before you are late. I don't want to have to give any detentions with the Hogsmede visit in two days."
Everyone gathered their books and filed out of the room, just a Tala was walking in. "Where have you been?" Sirius demanded, grabbing her by the arm.
"Let me go!" she ordered, shoving him aside.
"Not until you tell me where you were last night. Everyone was supposed to be in their common rooms. You weren't anywhere to be found."
"Its none of your business where I was,' Tala snapped. "Now, let go of me!" She pushed him, and hard, and with a small cry Sirius fell, dropping his books. Tala just glared at him for a moment, before gathering her own things and walking past him.
Sirius was fuming as he gathered his things and stood up. "That little-"
"What was that about?" Camerane asked, confused.
"She's being a bitch is what's going on," Sirius growled. "And she better watch out when I see her next time."
"Like they won't be tomorrow!" Sirius exclaimed. "A murder was just committed in our school by a werewolf! I think there's going to be some panic."
