Hey! I now have two 85-minute study halls in one day so; I have lots of time to write. (Or sleep) But anyway, there is some "Snuffles" action in this. Oh to pet THAT dog... sorry gutter brain. Sirius is like number 2 on my list of guys which goes to like 49... I'll have to post that at one point. It's rather scary... ONWARD TO THE STORY MY PEOPLE!
~Story~
Slowly Jacy leaned against the wall and slid to the floor. Let's assess the situation here. The feast was supposed to start in...she glanced at the clock. 20 minutes. Great.
15 minutes...14...
Wait! Had that wall just moved? Jacy grinned. "Door, will you please reveal yourself so I can get to the feast? It's my first year teaching here and I don't want to be late." She stood and brushed off her tush. When she glanced up, she saw a beautiful ornate oak door. "Thank you."
The door creaked open as she approached. "Thank you again."
Jacy stepped into the hall and was promptly knocked flat on her ass by a large black dog.
"Sorry about that. Let me help you up." Said a smooth male voice.
Jacy looked up into golden eyes and grinned. "Remus."
The golden eyes widened and Jacy found herself being pulled off the floor and into a big hug. "Jacy."
"Okay, I think that's enough hugging. I'm still not much of a touchy-feely person."
Remus released her and stepped back. "You've changed."
Jacy tossed her dark head and grinned. "If you mean I don't bleach my hair anymore, yes I've changed."
Remus looked at the dog that seemed to shake his head. Jacy walked over and crouched in front of the huge animal. "Well hello. And who might you be?"
Remus seemed to pale. "That's Snuffles."
"Snuffles! Why that doesn't suit this brute at all!" Jacy began scratching the dog's ears. "Does it boy? No it doesn't."
Remus couldn't help it. He snorted. Snuffles laid his head in her lap and closed his eyes. "Snuffles come on. We've got to get you back to Harry."
"Harry Potter?" Jacy quirked a brow.
"Yeah, Harry. Snuffles here is his. He's a gift from Dumbledore. Got him last Christmas."
"Well maybe I can visit with Snuffles later. I love dogs and..." Snuffle let out a growl and walked to Remus' side, ignoring her.
"Sorry, he's a bit... high strung." Snuffles made a noise between a snort and a growl.
"It's okay. I guess I won't..." Jacy was heard a clock bong loudly.
"CRUD! We're late." she winced.
"I can't make this feast anyway." Remus stated flatly.
"Why?"
"Don't tell me you've forgotten?"
Jacy frowned. "Forgotten what? I know you Marauders used to disappear on the full moon."
Remus' eyes widened. "You really don't know."
"Obviously I don't."
"We'll talk tomorrow. You need to get to the feast."
"Alright." Puzzled, Jacy walked away.
In a familiar voice, but different from Remus' she heard, "She has changed." However, when she looked over her shoulder, all she saw was/were Remus and Snuffles in the flickering torchlight.
