"Remus, Remus wake up." Slowly, Remus opened his eyes. Standing before him was James, a napkin full of chicken legs in his hand. "Here's some food for you. Dinner ended an hour ago, so they may be a bit cold." James handed Remus the chicken, then walked across the room to sit on his bed. After a few minutes of silence, the only sound being Remus eating his chicken, James glanced at his watched and cried out, "Ten o'clock?!? We need to get you out to the shack. Sirius and Peter are waiting down in the common room." Remus sighed and got up, then accompanied James to the common room. There they saw Sirius and Peter finishing up their homework. Sirius looked up at Remus and James, then started to put away his homework. Peter smiled at them, then put away his homework as well. Finally, they were ready to go out to the shack.
-----------------------------------------
James and Sirius glanced at Remus every few seconds the entire walk there, as if afraid he would space out again. When they had reached the shack, Peter transformed into a rat and prodded the knot on the whomping willow that would freeze the tree. Then, the boys headed inside to wait for Remus' transformation. After waiting for about half an hour, Remus started to shake. Just like in his flashback, Remus' muscles tensed and he started to transform into a werewolf. James, Sirius, and Peter looked at each other and silently agreed to transform. They concentrated on their animal forms, and soon, the room held a rat, a werewolf, a stag, and a dog.
The werewolf growled at the rat, who squeaked and scampered under the bed. The werewolf snarled, then turned towards larger prey, the stag. The werewolf bunched up his muscles, ready to leap. The stag lowered his head, attempting to guard himself with his antlers, but it was too late. The werewolf leaped, slamming into the stag. The stag collapsed under the weight of the 400-pound werewolf, gasping for breath, on the brink of passing out. The werewolf bared his teeth, ready to bite, when suddenly, the dog leaped on top of the werewolf, knocking him off of the stag. The dog and the werewolf began to fight, while the stag tried to keep his eyes open. Only one thing was going through his mind right then. His mind was telling him to change, change back into his human form. Slowly, the stag turned back into James, and even though the sun was peeking over the horizon, all he saw was black.

Yeah, yeah, it's too short. Oh, well, I'm going to start on the next chapter right away so that this 'suspense-filled' chapter may continue. Thanks for all the reviews, you guys are great!
This chapter is dedicated to my friend Kelsey, who went and.... Well, it's a long story, so I won't bother telling you.
Thanks for reading!
