"My Deepest darkest secret is." everyone leaned in to hear. "My deepest darkest secret is.that this truth serum doesn't work." Everyone slumped back.

"Dang, there goes the game." James sulked.

Remus was more relieved than he ever had been in his entire life.

The days went by and soon, the full moon was there.

"Guys, I have to go see my mum, she's sick." Remus lied. He hated to lie. "O man Remus, well, tell her to get well soon." James said. Pretty soon Remus had left, but Sirius had been watching out the window.

"James! Remus isn't going to go see his mum. Look! Let's go follow him." He said.

"I'll go get my cloak." Pretty soon the two boys were at the base of the Whomping Willow.

"Now what?"

"I saw him use this stick to prod the knot on the tree." They prodded the knot, and went down the tunnel. What was waiting at the end was far from welcoming. Sirius yelled.

"James, GO BACK GO BACK! HE'S A WEREWOLF!" just then, a jackal leaped at Remus, alongside it was a lion. The jackal ran towards James and Sirius and forced them back. Then, The jackal transformed, into none other, that Professor Cerubus.

"Boys, what are you doing here!? Never mind that, get out of here! Go to my office. Stay there. Do NOT utter a word about this to ANYONE or you will had wished you hadn't, now GO!" James and Sirius fled to the castle, as Cerubus transformed into his jackal form and went in to help the lion.

"FENRIS! ON YOUR LEFT!" barked Cerubus. Fenris flung off Remus.

"SHOULDN'T HE BE GETTING TIRED????" Fenris roared. After many long hours, claws, gashes, and wounds later, the full moon finally went down, and the tensions went up.

"Remus, listen to me, can you hear me?" Cerubus asked.

"Yeah, I can."

"Good, ok, listen, you need to go to my office."

"What for?"

"Two boys, I believe, Potter and Black, found out about you last night." Remus sat up, even though it was painful.

"They know?"

"Yes, Can you stand up right now?"

"Yeah." Remus forced himself to stand up and walk to Cerubus' office. Sirius and James were there, waiting with Professor Fenris.

"Listen, James, Sirius, you better not tell anyone ANYTHING about Remus, got it? Get it, or else." Cerubus threatened.

"Hades, quit threatening the students." Fenris told Cerubus.

"Well, Apollo, you are being too kind with them."

" We promise we won't utter a word." James piped up.

"Good. Remus, what do you have to say in all this?" Cerubus asked. Remus shrugged, he was still soar from the transformation and he was cut up. But worst of all, his friends had found out about what he was.

When they were walking down the hall, James stopped suddenly.

"Listen Remus, we don't hate you for being.. a.. well. yeah. but listen, I think we should do something to help you. You know, you helped us, we should help you."

"Yeah. A life for a Life. in a good way of course!" Sirius added.

"Really? Shouldn't I tell the others?"

"You can if you want." James replied.

"I think I ought to. The ultimate test of friendship."

"Ok. When?"

"Tonight, right now, I have to go to the hospital wing. I was supposed to be there ages ago."

Remus sped off into the Hospital Wing, leaving James and Sirius alone.

"James, what can we do? How can we help him?"

"Hmm. last night, there were ANIMALS guarding him, or, animagi, if we were able to become animagi then we could be able to stay with Remus, and if he DOES bite us, it won't matter because we are animals. Make sense?"

"Yeah. I guess."

"Ok, to the library!"

"Where's that?"

"Sirius, you amaze me sometimes." "Jeez James, you're nice!" Sirius exclaimed. The two boys set off towards the library to research what was about to change their lives drastically, forever.
