"What if we get lost again?" Remus asked, looking worried.
"We have to learn our way around the Forbidden Forest sooner or later, am I wrong?" Sirius waved his hand carelessly.
"Yes, we could avoid the forest all together," Peter muttered.
"Besides if we want to get on the Quidditch team next year we should get some exercise," Sirius ignored Peter.
"And chasing baby unicorns is just the way to do it," Remus couldn't help but burst out laughing as he said this, along with the others.

Rose was seating in the common room as the boys entered. The sight of her scared them so much they jumped back, yet Rose didn't even seemed to have noticed them there.
"Rose, why are you up so late?" James asked weakly, but went she didn't answer he went over to where she sat, with the others right behind him.
"Earth to Rose, anybody there?" Sirius waved his hand in front to Rose's face and made her jump in shock.
"What are you guys doing here?" Rose asked as if she had just noticed them there.
The boys grinned at each other thinking the same thing, they were off the hook.
"Oh we just came down here to have some late night snacks," Remus lied.
"Oh," his excuse was very lame, but Rose was too shaken to care or realize that none of the boys were carrying any kinds of sweets.
"Rose are you okay?" James suddenly began to feel worried.
"Of course I'm fine, why shouldn't I be?" Rose snapped.
"Then what are you doing down here at 2 am, looking all shaken up?" Sirius asked who also sounded worried.
"I just came down here to do my homework, since I spend most of my work time today to polish my cloud-surfboard (the family heirloom she got instead of the invisibility cloak) and I must have dosed off for a while. If you don't mind I'll just go back to bed since I obviously can't do any work this late at night. Good Night," Rose said all this very fast and fled up the stairs before the boys had any time to blink let alone reply.
"Now that was weird," Sirius said after he recovered.
"Yeah, what was up with all that?" Remus asked.
"Don't know, but why don't just go to bed and deal with her tomorrow?" James said.
"I agree," Peter said yawning.
* * *
"So boys please enlighten us about where you were last night," Rose said as she sneaked up on the boys in the common room.
It was morning and Rose seemed to have recovered quite well from the night before.
"Last night," Peter said laughing nervously and he like the rest was trying to keep a confused face.
"Ok, why don't we make a deal. I wont tell any one you were sneaking around at night, and you don't breath a word about seeing me at all, and I mean it," Rose said threatening, "or you'll be sorry, very sorry."
"We'll keep our mouths shot," Sirius put a hand over his mouth.
"Yeah," Remus said.
"We wont say anything about it ever," James said.
"Promise," Peter said.
"Good," Rose said and brushed past them.
"Is it me or was she acting a bit too harsh even for her," Sirius said as he watched her.
"Something is up, but she's not telling-"
"James, we promised to forget about what we saw. If she finds out that we're spying on her or something, she'll never trust us ever again," Remus reminded.
"You're right, the best thing we can do is be there for her when she tells us what's wrong," James nodded.
"And the best thing we could do now is go eat, is it me or do we have to wait a long time for every meal," Sirius patted his flat stomach.
* * *
Rose bit her lip as her stomach gave a low growl. She had skipped breakfast to come to the library, but now she was starved and seem to have no choice but go to the Great hall. She decided to sign the book and read it there, but she hoped the boys wouldn't have another food fight or something like it today, since she needed some quiet time to herself.
"Hey Rose," her friends greeted her, but she just nodded in return then grabbed a bowl of cereal and continued reading the book.
After a while Rose the Great Hall began to empty out and Rose shut her book and was about to try to get to class when she noticed a peace of parchment with her name on it. She quickly took it and at once recognized Remus' handwriting:
Rose
What's up with you? I know that you're gonna say it's none of my business, but I'm really worried. Why were you reading a book about dreams at breakfast? Did you have some awful nightmare last night? Why don't you meet me in the History of Magic room at lunch, so we could talk?
Till then
Remus
If it was from any one else Rose would have ignored the note, but there was something about Remus to make her feel glad about their little meeting.

"Charms is by far the best class," Lily said as they walked out of its classroom.
"No way, Potions is the best, well actually except for the fact that we have Slytherins as our partners," Sirius said.
"You're both blind, Transfiguration obviously tops all the other subjects," James grinned.
"Ha, dream on buddy," Sirius snored.
"Yeah, I can't believe you would pick McGonagall's class over the others," Lily said as they took their seats in the History of Magic room.
It took only a few minutes for the whole class to quiet down, or perhaps fall sleep. That is except for Remus, who was watching Rose with a concerned look on his face. Rose was asleep like the others, only thing was that her face had a tortured expression on it and her body was shivering slightly. Remus (who sat on her right side) couldn't take it any more and knew that he had to wake her up, so he gently grabbed her shoulder and shook it slightly, making Rose snap out of the dream.
Rose gasped and jump up in her seat, then quickly realized where she was and looked around to see who or what woke her up. When her eyes fell on Remus she paled but tried to straighten herself and look as normal as possible.
Remus didn't take his eyes off her for even a second, although he knew that she was aware of that. After a little while her body became tense very tense, almost as if she was a statue, and her face became expressionless with her eyes glassy. She looked just like she did the night before.
* * *
I can't believe it happened right in middle of class, Rose thought, but at least I think Remus was the only one who noticed anything. She was walking to the Transfiguration class with all her friends chattering around her, but she felt alone and cold. McGonagall's class was always very important, but Rose couldn't make sense of anything as she copied the notes on the board. Soon the class was over and lunch had started, the part of the day that Rose was dreading the most all through her last class.
Remus had seen, and there was now no way that Rose could lie. The thought of telling the truth to some one was very comforting and nice, but also scary. For a second Rose considered avoiding Remus, but decided against it since she hated people who walked away from situations.
Before Rose could change her mind, she hurried to the History of Magic classroom. The room was empty, and Rose began to pace so time would pass, but fell deep into her thoughts, and didn't even notice Remus had entered the room until he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Rose," Remus looked concerned.
"Hey, I…uh…didn't see you come in," Rose flipped her hair over her shoulder and smiled.
"Guess not."
"Yeah well-"
"Rose stop trying to act normal, I can see there is something wrong with you. Just tell me what it is and I'll try to help you," Remus cut her off.
"What makes you think I'll tell you about anything when I didn't even tell my own brother," Rose snapped.
"Let me guess, you're still mad that James wasn't too thrilled about your friendship with the Schneider guy," Remus said shrewdly.
"So…" Rose looked down.
"Can't you just tell me what's wrong," he put his hand on her shoulder again, causing her to look up, "I promise not to tell a soul, and to help you any way I can."
"Fine, I'll tell you," Rose jumped on the big desk and motion for him to join her, "It's not really that big of a thing, and I'm sure there are all kinds of potions that could fix it, but…"
"But what?"
"I want to make sense of it before it stops."
"What stops?"
"Okay, see last night I overheard some of the 3rd year girls talking about this potion they drank on their first night in Hogwards. I couldn't help but ask them what they were talking about, and they said there was this potion that would let you have a peek at the future when you fall asleep that night. They said it didn't work too well, but was better than nothing."
"Why would they want such a potion?"
"Oh they just wanted to see who they would date this year. See the potion will let you see the future of whatever you want. Anyways, they told me to only take 4 drops, but I took the whole bottle. I though maybe I would need it to be stronger for what I wanted to see, so that's why I still see the same thing every time I fall sleep."
"Where did you get the potion, first of all?" Remus asked.
"The girls traded me a bottle for the new shade of lipstick that was so hot with mom's fall fashion."
"OK, now the first thing we do is go to Madam Pamfroy and have her make a potion to cure you."
"But-"
"Actually on second thought the first thing you should do is telling me what you saw in your dream."
"Fine, but don't set your hopes up too high, I didn't see any thing as much as I felt it."
"What?"
"I mean the things I saw, or didn't, were mostly feelings,"
"What kinds of feelings?"
"Pain, torture, and...fear. I felt this huge power, it was the reason of all this. I could hear all the screaming see the blood and even feel the lives of all these people drain," Rose's eyes looked glassy for only a second, once again.
"A power? What kind of power?"
"I'm not sure…it was so strong and…and evil," Rose turned to him.
"What did it want?" Remus felt a chill run down his spine.
"It was laughing…the cries of the people made him laugh…oh my gosh, it had fun by making people suffer," suddenly, just when Remus expected her to burst into tears, Rose turned away and jumped off the desk, "I don't want to think about it any more."
"I understand," Remus gave her a sad smile.
"Thanks. I think I'll go and grab something to eat, all this talking made me hungry," Rose smiled back and started walking towards the door.
"Wait" Remus called out.
"Yes?" Rose turned around.
"Why Rose? Why did you want to have a look at the future?"
"Because…because of dad. Lately he seemed to be all stressed out about the future of our wizarding world, I didn't know why, but I wanted had to see myself if his fears are wrong or not," Rose turned back to the door and left a speechless Remus just seating there for a few more minutes.
* * *
"I totally can't believe Remus is gonna miss this," Sirius whispered.
"Oh well, I'm sure with us around there'll be a lot more of this stuff happening in Hogwarts," James said in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Ok, buddy you are gonna get your revenge from that good for nothing Slytherin girl, who was by the way thick enough to insult a Gryffindor," Sirius patted a happy looking Peter on the back.
"Guys here she comes. You two go and try to distract her while I can curs her without any witnesses," James put his hand in his pocket.
"Right," the other two said together.
Sirius, smiling smugly, along with Peter walked over to the girl who was walking towards them to get to the Great Hall. Marlene's cheep bag had gotten ripped on her way to the Great Hall, and her friends had left while she cleaned up the mess. This was not really an accident but Sirius' plan to get her alone. During potions that day Sirius (who sat behind Peter and Marlene) had charmed the girl's bag to keep on getting worn out, so eventually it would rip apart.
"Hey Marlene," Sirius gave her a wide grin.
"What do you want?" Marlene glared.
"Now that you mention it…" Peter grinned too.
"There is something we want."
"I don't have all day, get on with it," Marlene rolled her eyes.
"Okay then, we just…" Peter began.
"Want to…" Sirius continued.
"If you don't stop annoying me like this and not tell me what it is, I'm going to leave this second," she snapped, and for a second Sirius thought of making something up, but then he noticed that James had done his job.
"See you annoyed, and we did so we're going now," Sirius grabbed Peter's hand and dragged him to an empty classroom, where they burst out laughing so hard that their cheeks became wet with tears. Soon James joined them in both the classroom and the laughter.
AN: I sure hope you can read Remus' handwriting!!!!!!!
"What if we get lost again?" Remus asked, looking worried.
"We have to learn our way around the Forbidden Forest sooner or later, am I wrong?" Sirius waved his hand carelessly.
"Yes, we could avoid the forest all together," Peter muttered.
