James grinned. "Well, who else would have the brains to do it?" Severus sneered. "Brains? Yeah, right. I bet you don't even know the symptoms of a werewolf." James laughed, thinking of all the time he spent with Remus during the full moons. "Oh yeah? Well, as a matter of fact I do, thanks to the fact that my friend Remus here-" Sirius, who had been watching silently until then, stepped in. "Is very hungry, which is why we have to go." By then, Remus and Peter had caught up with them. "Hey, guys! What's going on?" Remus asked, eyeing Severus. Sirius cleared his throat. "Oh, nothing, nothing at all. Come on, let's go eat." Sirius said, pulling on Remus' arm to get him to go inside the Great Hall.
"What was that all about?" Remus asked as soon as they were seated in the Hall. James blushed, looking down at his mashed potatoes. "I almost told him your secret." Remus stared at him, eyes wide with shock, and didn't say anything. "I'm really sorry, Moony. It was an accident." James continued, looking at Remus, his eyes pleading for forgiveness. Remus smiled at James, knowing that James' apology was sincere. "It's alright. But don't look so gloomy, we have the full moon tonight to look forward to. Tonight you'll be able to use your Animagi powers for the first time!" James grinned, glad that Remus believed in forgiving and forgetting.

The Marauders entered Professor McGonagall's classroom, eager for the class to start. When they had taken their seats, Professor McGonagall began to tell them about their lesson of the day. "Today we will be learning about Animagi, wizards who can turn into animals at will." The Marauders exchanged looks, Peter's nervous, Sirius' and James' amused. "There are only seven Animagi currently living in England." Sirius chuckled softly and whispered, "Only off by three, not bad." James laughed, making a few curious faces turn around to stare at him. One of those faces was Lily's. "What's so funny, Potter?" She hissed. James stopped laughing, glaring at her instead. "None of your business, Evans." Lily eyed him, not convinced, but faced towards the front of the room all the same.
"Becoming an Animagus is incredibly hard work. None of you would be able to pull it off. Any little mistake could be deadly. I would advise you not to try this yourselves. Oh, class is over, time to go. Your homework tonight is to write a 2-page essay on what an Animagus is and why you should never attempt to become one yourself without consulting the Ministry first." Professor McGonagall finished her lesson and watched her students leave her classroom.
------------------------------------------------------
"That was the best lesson ever, don't you think, Padfoot?" James asked, laughing. "It was great! But Professor McGonagall acted as though it was impossible for fifth years to become Animagi. But look at us! We pulled it of, didn't we?" Sirius answered, also laughing. Remus listened to their conversation for a little bit before saying, "Our next class is Defense Against the Dark Arts, my favorite class. I wonder what we will be learning about today?" Sirius grinned, looking at Remus. "Professor Difesa said we would be learning about werewolves this week. It should be right up your alley, Moony." Remus groaned, not looking forward to a week of learning about werewolves, a subject he already knew much about.
