The Marauder and the Prefect

Chapter 7
Lily was shocked. Of course, she knew Rebecca liked James, but not like that. She stared at the diary for a few moments, not knowing if to be mad at Rebecca or to feel sorry for her. Finally, she put the diary on Rebecca's bed and went to sleep, trying hard not to think about what she just saw in it.

"Hurry! He's going to transform any minute now!"
James, Sirius and Peter hurried Remus (who was now in a lot of pain) through the tunnel that led to the Shrieking Shack.
"I think he's starting!" said Peter, and turned into a rat, while James turned into a Stag and Sirius into a big black dog.
Remus was now completely transformed into a wolf. He howled loudly, and jumped on the torn up bed, ripping one of its pillows and letting feathers fly all over the room.
Suddenly, there was a sound. One that could hardly be heard. A four-legged creature was creeping around the next room.
All fell quiet, except Remus, who couldn't really control his werewolf self. Peter, the rat, scurried under a broken table, while James, the stag, went to the next room to see what was going on.
And there it was. Another werewolf. But this one wasn't Remus. This werewolf was a little smaller, and his (or her) fur was brown instead of silvery gray. The brown werewolf suddenly jumped on James and bit his leg, which was now bleeding badly.
Sirius, who spotted the other werewolf right away, leaped on it and bit it in the face. The brown werewolf howled in pain, and bit Sirius back. James then leaped on the brown werewolf and nudged him with his prongs. The brown werewolf got knocked onto a moss eaten sofa, and ran away, wailing.
* * * * * * * * *
"Who do you reckon that brown werewolf was?" asked James quietly during breakfast the next day.
"Well, it must have been a Hogwarts student, since it had a piece of a Hogwarts robe in it's mouth." Replied Sirius, just as quietly.
"Which student do you suppose it was?" asked Remus eagerly. As much as he tried to hide it, he was pretty happy about the fact that there was another werewolf in Hogwarts.
"I don't know..." said James, who was deep in thought. "But it must be someone with a cut in his or her face. After all, Sirius did bite that werewolf there..."
He looked around the Great Hall, searching for a sign red upon someone's face, but everyone seemed to be perfectly well.
Meanwhile, Lily was mucking around with her oatmeal, deep in thought as well.
"Aren't you going to eat?" asked Katie, looking a little worried. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day you know."
"Oh, I am, uh, just full from last night..." said Lily. Since she really didn't know what to think of what she saw yesterday, she didn't tell Katie or Emma about Rebecca's diary. She didn't tell Rebecca either, afraid that she would be even more mad at her. Of course, part of her said, 'go on, tell that "friend" of yours! What do you care? She shouldn't be mad at you anyway!' but the other part said, 'No! Don't hurt her! Think of all she has done for you!'
"Hey! Lily!" said James from across the table, turning everyone's attention to him. "Wanna come with me to the lake, half past eight after school? I have a surprise for you..."
"Sure..." said Lily, looking sideways at Rebecca. She stuffed a piece of toast into her mouth, probably to prevent herself from saying anything. Lily sighed miserably, still clueless about what to do, and went on with Katie to their next class.
* * * * * * * * *
James and Sirius sniggered as professor Misty talked in a voice that well suited her last name. Again, though she was now trying to deny it by saying it was just an example, professor Misty predicted something wrong.
"I bet that old fraud wouldn't be able to make a prediction if it was predicting whether Snivelly would wash his hair tomorrow or not, which is something all of us could answer even without Divination!" said Sirius, laughing very hard.
"Sure got that right, mate!" said James, laughing with him.
"Shut up you two!" whispered Remus, who was the sensible one of the group. "She can hear you!"
What Remus said was true. Professor Misty was now giving James and Sirius her famous I-am-predicting-a-punishment-in-your-future looks, but continued talking. James and Sirius fell quiet. They knew very well that professor Misty gave harsh punishments.
* * * * * * * * * *
James and Sirius were now predicting their dreams with their books: A beginner's guide to dream predicting.
"Hey, I dreamed that I was escaping from dementors on a Hippogriff, what do you think that means?" said Sirius in fake interest.
"Ahhh... Yes..." said James, imitating professor Misty's voice. "The Hippogriff represents freedom, and the Dementors represent death... That means that you will soon be escaping from Divination..."
James and Sirius laughed so loudly that everyone was now looking at them. Professor Misty said, dropping her dreamy tone, "Detention! Tomorrow! 5:00 AM right here!"
"5:00 AM?!" said Sirius, shocked. "But, but-"
"Another word from you, Black, and it will be 4:00 AM!"
Sirius groaned.
* * * * * * * * * *
"I told you two to shut up!" said Remus. "Look what you brought on yourselves now!"
"Ah, don't sweat it moony." said Sirius calmly. "A few more detentions and me and Prongs here will break a record!"
Remus sighed. He knew that he'd better not keep arguing, since there was no chance that James and Sirius would ever stop their attempt to break the record of most detentions gotten, which was last year broke by none other than them.
"I've gotta go," said James, who was just a second ago deep in thought. "You know... Lily."
"Ah, gonna go make out a little with your dear little red headed friend?" said Sirius teasingly.
James ignored him and left the room in a hurry.
* * * * * * * * *
Lily was walking towards the lake, wondering what James had waiting for her. At first, she thought he was going to prank someone she hated again but for some reason, that just didn't seem right... As Lily got closer to the lake, she saw three shadows... The big shadow was obviously James (even the outlines of his hair looked messy) but she could make nothing of the two other shadows...
