Werewolf in the Girls' Dorm

Chapter 5- He's a What?
Wow. I meant to have this up Friday night, and here it is... Sunday afternoon...

I'm a slow typer. Yup yup.

*sighs* Bloody schoolwork...

*********

"Get off me! Get off me!"

Cecile was the first one to throw everyone off her. Next Carrie, then Rose, then Kat, and finally Jessica stood up.

Everyone looked down at Remus to see him on top of Hermione.

It didn't look good for the poor werewolf.

When he was tackled, he'd grabbed Hermione and pulled her close to him. When he fell, that hand traveled down south and was now a cushion for Hermione's butt. His other hand, by some clumsy misfortune, had ended up on Hermione's breast.

"Twice in less than half an hour!" Cecile cried.

"That's it, Lupin! It's one thing to assault Jessica, but it's another to assault a minor!" Carrie pointed her sword at him.

"I'm not a minor," Hermione mumbled. "I'm seventeen..."

Remus began to sweat. "Can't we work this out?!?"

"No! Lupin, it's time to die!" Carrie prepared to slice and dice Remus when Cecile stood between them.

"Mnemosyne is back with an answer from Professor Snape!"

Carrie gritted her teeth. "Couldn't you have waited two more seconds?!?"

Cecile took the letter from her owl and scowled. "No."

Carrie let out a low growl.

"Dear Cecile,
Lupin was teaching at Hogwarts two years ago, but he left due to extreme prejudice against him. Your assumptions are correct in that---"

Remus snatched the letter from Cecile, but she continued anyway.

"Lupin is a werewolf."

Everyone looked at Remus.

"He's a what?" Jessica asked.

Cecile pulled out the knife and slapped his hand again. "A werewolf."

Everyone let this sink in.

Then, Jessica smirked and moved closer to Remus. "So, are you in heat around the time of the full moon?"

Remus blushed, and Hermione whispered, "Oh yeah."

Jessica arched an eyebrow. "Oh? How would you know this?"

Hermione blushed. "Well, it involves a party..."

Jessica put an arm around Hermione. "Oh, ,do tell!"

"Jessica!" Carrie snapped. "We still have the werewolf to deal with!"

'I liked it better when I was just Lupin.'

"Stories first, killing later."

Carrie turned red and opened her mouth to yell some more when Cecile snatched the letter back from Remus.

"Wait! There's more!"

Everyone looked at her.

"Oh, never mind. It's just an ingredient I shouldn't add to the potion."

Kat pounced on Remus. "How does it feel knowing you're going to die?!?"

'She sounds a little too happy...'

"Wonderful," Remus muttered. "Can you get off me now?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"I want a piggy-back ride before you die!"

Cecile glared at him. "Do it. It's part of your punishment for assaulting Jessica."

Kat smirked. "All the others had to do this too!"

'Dear God... they've killed before?!? Urgh... I hope I never find the bodies!'

"But Kat's so heavy!"

All six girls gasped.

"You rotten little--"

"How DARE you--"

"Of all the--"

"DIE!"

Remus ran upstairs with Kat on his back, beating him; the remaining five girls were on his tail, one wielding a very sharp sword.

'Why do I always have to open up my big mouth?'

Suddenly, Kat let go of Remus. He ran right through the old wooden railing of the balcony.

'Meep!'

At this point, if Remus was in a cartoon, he would pause in midair and look down. Then, he would either say something or hold out a sign reading "Uh-oh."

However, the poor werewolf was not in a cartoon.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

Luckily, Kat, Jessica, Rose, and Hermione all pulled out their wands and shouted, "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!"

Cecile tapped her foot impatiently, arms folded, as Remus landed on the balcony at their feet.

Carrie felt like killing them all. "Why are you saving someone him?!? First, he peeks at Cecile in the hot tub, then he flashes Rose, then he lies to us, then he assaults a minor--"

"I'm seventeen," Hermione growled.

"Now he tells Kat she's heavy while we learn that he's a werewolf! He's dangerous to everyone!"

"I just don't know why you're saving someone you just tried to kill," said Cecile.

Jessica smirked. "Well, aside from the fact that he's really cute, the full moon is in a week."

"All the better reason to kill Lupin!" cried Carrie.

"Nonsense! I've never been with a werewolf in heat before! Besides, I have handcuffs-- wait, those are silver..."

Cecile grinned. "See, we can't keep him here. Leave, Lupin!"

"Wait just a minute, Miss Aspiring Potions Mistress! You can make the Wolfsbane Potion for him!" Jessica pointed her finger at Cecile.

Cecile's jaw dropped. "What? But... but... I--"

"Oh, come on!" Jessica put an arm around Remus. "He has nowhere to go! He's all alone in this cruel world! What happened to your soul?!?"

"I sold it to the devil."

"Cecile," Rose began, "Wouldn't this be good practice for you? The Wolfsbane Potion is one of the most difficult to make. If you're successful, you'll be the youngest person to make it."

"Think of the recognition," Jessica said.

Cecile narrowed her eyes. "How do you know I won't mess it up?"

"Your pride would never allow you to do that, m'dear."

Cecile shifted on her feet. They had caught her, and they knew it. "But, the ingredients--"

"If you're missing any, get them from Professor Snape. I know you can't resist the chance to be great like him."

'Right, like Snape is all that great.'

Jessica and Rose both put an arm around Cecile.

"Just think-- if you perfect the Wolfsbane Potion, the two of you can create even more potions! You may even become members of the Order of Merlin for your work!"

A smile was creeping across Cecile's face.

'C'mon Rose and Jessica. Keep pushing her.'

Cecile bit her lip. She was still trying not to give in. "Oh, but--"

Hermione jumped in. "It will only be three times. And, who knows what he may do if left alone without the potion."

Jessica smirked as Cecile's eyes widened. "He could kill people!"

Rose and Jessica made her sit down. They, along with Remus, Hermione, and Kat, formed a circle around her.

"You have the power to stop that."

"It's all in your capable hands now."

"Think of the Order of Merlin!"

"Think of your teaching position!"

Carrie rolled her eyes. To her, everyone looked absolutely ridiculous.

Cecile punched Remus and stood up. "I can't let you kill people!" She pounded her fist into her hand. "I'll make the potion, and it will be perfect! I'll get power, fame, power, glory, power, honor, and more power! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Yay!" everyone on the floor cheered. Remus merely massaged his jaw.

'Well, she's a typical power-hungry, Gryffindor-male-hating Slytherin.'

"No!" Carrie yelled, stomping her foot.

'And Carrie's one to the extreme.'

"Cecile, you can just kill him with a spell! Why--"

"If I do this, I can accomplish all sorts of things! I can create potions that can do what no one ever thought potions can do!" She paused and smiled. "Besides, I do need to practice with the Wolfsbane and I hate making potions a purpose."

She turned to Remus, who, despite the pain in his jaw and cheek, was smiling. "Oh, stop smiling, Lupin. I'm only doing this to get more power."

Rose whispered to Remus, "You really should stop. She's been practicing Unforgivables for years and the only one she hasn't perfected is the Killing Curse."

Remus instantly stopped smiling. 'Note to self: watch out for Cecile at all times.'

"Face it, Carrie," Jessica said, smirking. "The problem is solved."

"Yup!" Kat jumped on Remus' back. "I still want that piggy-back ride!"

'Ow. Note to self: never let Kat behind you. Never.'

"Hop to it, Remus!" Kat pointed towards the door. "Forward, MARCH!!"

Remus began the walk to the door when Jessica gasped.

"Oh NO!"

"What? What's wrong?" Remus asked, turning around to face her.

"Well, you're a werewolf..."

"Yes, and...?"

Jessica mimicked a sob and said, "Our stroll under the full moon next week is off!"

*********

Well, that's all I have time to write right now.

Next chapter will definitely be about the party that Hermione was talking about.

We'll also see whether or not Cecile really makes the Wolfsbane Potion safe for Remus.
