Remus looked up at Jaci, from the chair in which he was sitting. She looked so pale, so fragile, he was afraid she was seriously sick. Slowly she opened her eyes, and locked with his. She smiled, and suddenly she looked so wonderful, so beautiful that he couldn't do anything but stare at her. After a moment's trance, he took her hand and brought it up to his lips.
"You are so beautiful, did you know?" Remus asked Jaci shook her head.
"No, I'm not," she whispered.
"Yes you are," he answered. "You are simply wonderful to look at, and I love to stare at you. I could just drown in your beauty."
Jaci blushed, and looked down. Never had anyone said that to her. She smiled and looked up at him. "Thank you," she said. Suddenly he gasped. She looked up at him and furrowed her brow. "What's wrong?"
"I have to go," he said. "I'll see you later." With that he ran off to the entrance of the castle. Jaci jumped out of bed, and quickly changed into her robes. She then took off after him.
Becca ran into the hospital wing just in time to see Jaci throw open the doors. "Jaci I have something-"
"Not now, Becca, I have to go!" she shouted, running to the entrance of the castle. Becca looked at her and then out the window. It was a full moon. She gasped and ran to the dorm rooms. Once there, she ran to Kristie.
"Kristie wake up!" she said. "You have to wake up now!"
"What?" Kristie asked mumbling sleepily.
"Jaci just ran out of the castle. And it's a full moon out tonight!"
Kristie sat up and looked at Becca. "Really?"
"Yes, and I just found something interesting. Look at this potion right here."
Together they stayed up all night studying about a potion called the wolfs bane potion. It helped the werewolf, by making him passive and harmless. They wrote notes, and got all the facts straight and everything to tell Sirius and James the next morning.

Jaci was running down the halls of the castle, looking for the secret passage to Honey dukes, the sweets store. She knew it was around here somewhere. When she found it, she ran in, and came out at the store. Taking out her wand, she pointed it at the store's door. "Aloha Mora," she whispered. As the door unlocked, she ran to the middle of the town. Suddenly, she heard roars and growls coming from the shrieking shack. That was supposed to be haunted.
Slowly, she walked over to it. As she looked into the house, she could see Remus, turning into a…werewolf!
Suddenly she heard more growling, but it wasn't coming from Remus, it was coming from the corner. She looked in that direction, and saw a big, black dog, along with a stag, and a rat. She turned to the door, and opened it. As she was walking into the house, she gasped. Now the growls were profound. Slowly, she walked up the stairs to the second floor. As she came to a door, she heard the snarls. Slowly she opened it, and gasped.
A wolf with a snout bigger than a normal wolf, and silver hi-lites was standing there, looking at the other animals. Suddenly it sniffed the air, and turned to look at her. Jaci stood very still. It growled, and started stalking up to her.
Go away! Get out of here, please Jaci, go! Moony couldn't stop himself from growling at her, and wanting to hurt her. Jaci started backing away, until she was up against the wall. Moony growled, and reared on his back legs. Suddenly Padfoot was snarling at him, in front of Jaci. Moony should have taken it as he was trying to protect Jaci from him, but Moony thought that Padfoot was after Jaci.
He growled, and snapped at Padfoot. Padfoot stood his ground, and backed away. He didn't want to hurt his friend. Suddenly there was braying and Moony turned to look at Prongs. He was charging down to Moony. Once again, Moony's wolf instincts said that Prongs was after Jaci. Moony growled, and jumped up to attack Prongs.
Jaci screamed as Moony scratched Prongs and slapped Padfoot away. Now the path was clear for Moony to attack Jaci. She turned on her heel and took off down the stairs. As she was going to run out the door, Moony was in front of her. She screamed again, and backed away.
"Please, please," she whimpered. Suddenly Padfoot and Prongs were on Moony, and she was running out of the house. She ran down to Honey Dukes and down the passageway to the castle. She ran up to her room, and into her bed. She cried and sobbed the entire night, never noticing that neither Kristie nor Becca were there.
Early the next morning, Kristie and Becca walked over to Sirius and James, and gasped. They were bruised and scratched. "What happened?" Kristie asked, slowly caressing the bruise on Sirius' cheek. "You look like shit," she said.
"Thank you for that blunt assessment," Sirius said, putting a hand on hers as it moved on his cheek. Kristie blushed, and moved her hand away. Sirius' followed. "Actually it looks worse than it feels, honestly."
"That's good," she said, trying to move her hand from his. He chuckled. "Um, Becca and I found something interesting, and we need your help."
"For you anything," he said. Kristie looked away and blushed again.
"Um, we found this potion," Kristie started. He nodded. Suddenly things were getting too cloudy in her mind, and thankfully Becca helped out.
"It helps werewolves become harmless," she said. "But we need to talk to Dumbledore before we can give it to the werewolf," she said. Sirius and James looked at each other.
"Excuse us," Sirius said. He took James by the shoulder and moved him to the other side of the room. "Do you think they know about Remus?"
"Why else would they be giving us a potion for werewolves?" James hissed. The point is how to get it from them, without talking to Dumbledore."
"Well, you know that Becca likes you right," Sirius said. "Why not use that to your advantage?"
"Why?"
"Do you want everyone in the school to know that Remus is a wolf?" Sirius hissed.
"No," James said.
"Well, then you'll have to play the damsel's hero," he answered. "You know that Malfoy spends all his time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and he's bound to hear Dumbledore and the girls speak."
"Hey, Kristie fancy's you too, you know," James said. "Why in bloody hell don't you use that damsel's heart too?"
"Ok, fine, I'll use Kristie's affection to my advantage, if you use Becca's."
James shook his head, and looked up at him. "Fine," he said reluctantly. Together they walked over to the girls. "Hey," he said, smiling at Becca. She in turn blushed.
"Hey," she said.
"So, are you going to help us?" Kristie asked.
Sirius moved down to her ear, and slowly whispered. "Only if you'll go out with me to the three broomsticks," he whispered.
Kristie shuddered, but looked up at him curiously. Slowly she looked over at James, who was looking down at his feet, and slowly caressing Becca's cheek. Her eyes widened and she looked up at him. "What?"
Suddenly a Ravenclaw girl walked up to them. "What are you doing whispering into her ear?" she asked Sirius.
Sirius cursed. "Not now Amanda," he said.
She turned to look at Kristie. "Did he say he'd do anything for you?" she asked. Kristie nodded. "Yeah, said the same thing to me," she answered glaring at Sirius. "Stay away from him. He's a womanizer," Amanda replied.
As she walked away, Kristie looked up at Sirius. "So," he said. "About that date," he said.
"You know what?" Kristie said glaring at him. "I know when I'm being played Sirius."
"Oh, come on, don't listen to Amanda."
"Why did you agree to help us? You think I don't see the uncomfortable way that James is flirting with Becca. Or the way you suddenly want to go out with me? Forget it," she said. "We're going to Dumbledore."
