Hey everyone! Wow! I'm so happy with how many reviews you've given me! This is the most I've gotten for only three chapters! I feel so loved.....XD Thank you all!---I know I say that too much, but I really am grateful....
Ok, now if everything goes according to plan, this chapter will be really long! YAY! I have been thinking about how I will be writing this during the three days that I have been gone (visiting my mom), and I'm pretty sure that the happy rescue-ness will take place next chappie! Yay! I have so much to be happy for now! XD
The only unfortunate thing is that this will be my last update before school since it starts in two days and I'm limited to 1-2 hours computer time a night when I'm in school. So please enjoy this chapter cuz once I'm in school I can probably update once a week at most...And with my Dad going to Europe for 5 weeks and leaving me with my Anti-weekday internet access Mother, my chances to update are limited....Sorry v_v....
Now I will thank all my new reviewers. Thank you noraseyes, xMadgirlx, Give the World for Mr. Black, Molly-chan the Anime/game fan, Tracy_Lou, Karu Leonnese, and Mencamiel! And thank you to all the people who reviewed my previous chapters! I love you guys! XD And if I forgot anyone, it's probably because I read your review after I typed this......
Well, now on to the story........
AN: Portions of this chapter will have POV (point of view) formats in it. For everyone I will announce whose POV it is so that there is no confusion. If you are glad that I'll be announcing it, you all should thank The Demonic Duo because we discussed this beforehand on AIM....hehe.....oh yeah, and I thought it would be a little funny to make James seem a little dense in this chapter :P
Now go read before you get that site overload crap........

-Nothing More- part 4
Sirius finally got off of Remus when he noticed that the werewolf was trying to speak. Remus gasped and pointed behind him,
"James....." Remus said. Sirius looked behind him and noticed James with a very odd look on his face.
The confused quiddtich player approached the two panting boys and stopped when he was a few feet away.
"Were you two doing....what I think you were doing?"
"Well, that depends...." Sirius replied as he nudged Remus to tell him he had this one, " What did you think we were doing?"
"Truthfully, it looked like you two were kissing or something......"
"Well, technically we weren't 'kissing' Prongs...."
"Then what were you doing to Moony then, huh?"
Sirius looked at Remus with a blank look.
"He was practicing....." Remus thought for a bit, " Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation...."
"Mouth-to-mouth what?" James was still giving an odd look.
"It's some silly muggle way of reviving a person, that's all....." Remus was smiling to hide the lie, "We wanted to see if it would really work, so Padfoot put a charm on me to make me stop breathing for a couple of minutes that's all...."
"Oh!" James now smiled as well, "Maybe you could practice on me sometime? It looks interesting....in an odd sort of way. I could've sworn that you two were having a go at it...."
"Well..." Sirius winked, "Maybe you should ask that Lily Evans about it, she is muggle-born after all. I think she'd know a thing or two......."
James gave a glare to Sirius before announcing that they should start heading to class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus' POV-
We started heading back to the castle, Sirius and James walked a few steps ahead of me, side-by-side. I began to block out the rest of the world and focused on Sirius. He constantly laughed and smiled, especially when he was with Prongs and I.
A social butterfly was an understatement when it came to describing the incredibly charming Mr. Black. He could talk with anyone (except a Slytherin), and actually make a conversation, so unlike me. Yes, I'm decently popular, smart in most peoples opinions and outgoing and such. It's just given the choice I'd rather sit in and read a book than go to a ball or gathering.
"I'm the complete opposite of Padfoot....." I mumbled to myself.
"You say something Moony?" James and Sirius both stopped and just watched me walk past them unknowingly......
I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around, "Oh yes, completely fine!" I walked back to them and took my place on Sirius' right side.
"It has to be illegal somewhere to have Transfiguration this early in the day...." Sirius said.
"You're telling me...." James agreed.
I gave them odd looks, "What are you two complaining about?" I almost shook my head in disgrace, "You two are animagi, Transfiguration should be a breeze for you...."
This time I got double helpings of death glares.
"Moony..." James began, "The nail clippers I had transformed from a bird still had its beak."
"And when I transformed my nail clippers back into a bird..." Sirius shuddered, "The bird had metal talons and started to attack me..."
I cracked up laughing, "Well, it's not my fault that I'm just extra- talented...." I winked playfully at the two.
We all laughed together heartily and continued back to the Gryffindor tower.
Once we arrived at the Fat Lady portrait, we all muttered 'lionheart' and then she swung open, welcoming us back to the common room. (Yes, I've been playing FF too much...v_v)
"You know, that password is way too easy to figure out...." I commented as we headed to the boys' dormitory.
Both boys laughed again.
"You know Moony," James started, "Not everyone is as smart as you think..."
"But we are...." Sirius smirked, "Don't worry..."
Sometimes I'd wonder why I was put into Gryffindor. I was always expected to be placed in Ravenclaw. The day I arrived at Hogwarts my first year it took the sorting hat a good while to select the house I truly belonged to. A few times it even actually began to shout "RAVE-" before it would stop and then say "GRYFF-" and then the process would repeat itself over and over. Finally "Gryffindor!" escaped the hat's mouth and I joined Sirius at the table of Gryffindor first years. ( I would've added the other two, but remember they sort in ABC order...)
I was sitting on my bed thinking about this when both Padfoot and Prongs interrupted my thoughts,
"Are you going to get your class things Moony?"
I shook my head to free my mind. I smiled as I quickly gathered my things. I thought to myself 'I'm glad I'm in Gryffindor...' as I ran to catch up with the other two.
"C'mon Moony! We can't be late to McConagall's again." Sirius waited for me at the stairs to the common room. It was almost the same scenario as this morning. An image of the accident flashed in my mind.
"I'm coming Padfoot. Give me second, I'm part wolf, not cheetah." I said even though I was beginning to space out again.
"That was a good one Moony...." Sirius laughed and slapped me on the back.
I looked up at him and smiled, but then he did something that totally surprised me. Instead of removing his hand once he slapped my back he let it rest there. And slowly it slid down my spine and then once he reached my butt he brought his hand back to himself.
As if I hadn't blushed enough that day......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius' POV-
Remus was blushing again. Heh. He was so, what's the word? Cute.....I think that's the only way I can describe it. He started walking ahead of me. Maybe I shouldn't have touched his butt....But it was just so tempting......(XD)
I know I didn't always feel this way about him. Actually I was completely thrown back by how I reacted to him 'bumping' into me this morning. Subconsciously I knew I enjoyed it, but jerking back was just a reflex I guess. I guess I liked him ever since I was 14, not too long really, about a year. It was then I started to get tired of girls. I think that's when Remus and I really started to get close.
I followed him down the stairs to the common room and out into the hall.
"Hey Sirius, where did James go?" Remus asked.
"He went ahead, he said that if he got one more tardy he would've gotten detention for Monday...."
"Oh. I guess that would explain it."
When we entered our Transfiguration class everyone turned around and stared at us.
"What are you looking at?" I announced to the class as they all turned back around to face the professor.
We walked up to the table that James was already seated at and noticed that my seat was open but Remus' was taken.
"Uh...." I looked at Remus who had the same look of surprise on his face, " Professor, Howard is in Remus' seat."
Professor McConagall gave Sirius a look and said, "Well, when you're late to my class there's nothing I can do about that Mr. Black. Now please take your seat, and Mr. Lupin you can sit one seat forward. That's not a problem is it?"
We both shook our heads to signal 'No' and took our seats. We both sat down simultaneously as the Professor started her lecture.
"Today we will be turning these spiders into spoons.......Now please take out your wands, and repeat after me......"
I watched as Remus pulled out his wand and wave it effortlessly as his lips moved and instantly the spider turned into a shiny spoon. I smiled to myself as he succeeded and then he turned to look at me and I noticed that it wasn't just him, but the whole class.
"Mr. Black...." Professor McConagall was in my face, "Is Mr. Lupin so interesting that you have to watch him instead of turning your spider into a spoon?"
I panicked and I felt all the students watching me. The color rushed to my face in embarrassment and I once again shook my head to say 'No'
"That's what I thought...." She turned back around and found the class watching. She clapped, "Back to your spiders everyone....."
Unfortunately, the rest of the day went like this. In Potions I spilled my frog's blood when Remus touched my hand, Defense Against the Dark Arts I accidentally said 'orgasm' instead of 'organism' when I was reading in front of the class and I don't even want to talk about the rest. And to top it all off! My spoon in Transfiguration had 8 legs......
With classes finally over for the day I had only one thing to worry about going wrong. The Quidditch Match....
We waved James off as he headed towards the locker room to change into his Quidditch robes and we decided to take off our robes before heading out to the stadium as well. Without the robes Remus was wearing a pair of jeans and a navy polo shirt. I was wearing khaki jeans and a black T-shirt.
We were about to leave for the game when Remus realized he forgot something. I waited as he ran back to retrieve his prefect's badge. I rolled my eyes when I saw him adjusting it as he ran to meet me again.
"Prongs is right, you are proud of that thing....." I laughed as I grabbed the badge that was attached to his shirt.
"I'm not proud of it. I just take any job I get seriously. Is it bad that I'm responsible?"
"No Moony, not at all."
He looked at his watch and his eyes almost popped out of his head from surprise.
"SIRIUS!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS ALREADY 6:00?!"
"Wha? Why? Was I supposed to or something?"
"Yea you were supposed to!" He grabbed me by my shirt, "I'm supposed to be there already!"
"Ok Moony!" I was starting to struggle walking with him dragging me, "Just, you think you can handle with care?" I pointed to my now stretched shirt.
He looked at what he had done and let go immediately, "Heh, sorry Padfoot. I overreacted a little."
"You think?" I added as I smoothed out my shirt. When I looked up he was already 30 feet ahead of me.
"Hey slowpoke!" He waved at me and starting running, "Can't you keep up?!"
I smirked evilly and looked to check if anyone was watching. No one. I ran towards him and mid-bound I turned into a dog.
I trotted at first and then at full speed I charged at the werewolf. He looked back at me and when he noticed I was in my dog form he stopped and started screaming. I wanted to laugh, but before I knew it he had transformed too and was running at top speed away from me. 'No fair....' I thought to myself as I as well ran at top speed, 'Wolves are faster than dogs....."
Finally he stopped once we were behind the stadium. I snuck up on him and tackled him. I felt his body struggle under my weight and then he turned back into a human and rolled over laughing. I transformed back as well and we ended up lying down next to each other laughing and panting like the dogs we actually are.
"That was fun..." I rolled to my side to look at Remus. He had his arms behind his head and was looking to the sky before he looked at me.
"Yeah, that was...." He smiled and then got up, "But I have to join the other prefects, seriously." He brushed the grass off of himself and proceeded towards the stadium entrance, "I was already late in the first place."
I sat up and grabbed his hand before he could leave, "Wait for me..."
He smiled as he grasped my hand and pulled me up to stand, "Of course I have to wait for you. You're supposed to help me remember?"
"Oh yeah," I grinned, "Why did I volunteer for this again?"
"Ah, stop complaining. It'll be fun...."
I rolled my eyes, "Sure...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus and Sirius then finally entered the stadium and noticed there were actually a lot of students already seated despite the fact the game didn't start for another 45 minutes. They stood there for a second to see where the prefects were supposed to organize and finally noticed a group of students with a few professors waving them down.
"Sorry I'm late." Remus said, "I lost track of time...."
"It's ok Lupin," Heather, the Hufflepuff head girl said. She eyed Sirius and then asked, "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, Sirius..." He began to introduce them, "This is Heather."
"Nice to meet you." Sirius smiled as he offered his hand for her to shake.
"Likewise." She blushed and gulped as she took his hand. All the female prefects began giggling when they noticed Sirius was near them.
"If it's ok, I was wondering if he could hang around with me and help me out during the match today." Remus asked. Heather was still holding Sirius hand.
"Yeah. Sure. Of course, no problem...." She replied even though she seemed to be in a trance caused by Sirius.
"Ok then. Thanks." Remus smiled before grabbing Sirius' hand away from her and playfully remarking, "I think you've had enough of that."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forty-five minutes had passed and the stadium was practically overflowing with spectators. Nearly every single Hogwarts student attended the Friday night match, there was nothing really better to do.
Only about 20 minutes had been played and both the Slytherins and the Gryffindors were already tied at 50 points each. And a tie wasn't a good thing when it came between the two houses. You could clearly tell where the majority of Slytherins sat in the stadium. It wasn't really pleasant, especially for Remus and Sirius. They were assigned to supervise that area.
"Please shoot me or something Sirius...." Remus whined, "I don't think I can write another detention slip."
Sirius laughed, "Actually this isn't as bad as I thought it would be."
"Sirius," Remus gave him a look that was so close to shame, "You only handle the girls because they'll do practically anything for you. They don't even care that you're a Gryffindor."
"Well, I'm only waiting to see if our dear friend Snivellus will do anything tonight." Sirius pointed his head towards the greasy-haired boy who'd cast a dark look towards the two boys every once in awhile. "I would've expected him to pull something already."
"Yeah, me too." Remus looked at Snape suspiciously, "It's kind of odd."
"Maybe we could do something to him first...." Sirius smirked, "You know, just to make him snap and get him in trouble..."
"What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know," He cast a maniacal look, "Maybe we could set his hair on fire just a little or something..."
"We can't do that Padfoot...." Remus began as Sirius gave a look that asked 'Why?', "Because we might start a grease fire if we did that!"
Both boys howled with laughter. Most of the crowd stopped to watch them until the announcer yelled, "AND GRYFFINDOR SCORES ANOTHER 10 POINTS!". Suddenly another riot broke out and the pair had to get to work, meanwhile Snape muttered under his breath,
"You won't be laughing too much in a little while...."
Once they managed to make the Slytherin crowd settle down Sirius just couldn't resist any longer. He pulled out his wand and carefully pointed it at their dear Snivellus and mumbled a few words as he chuckled to himself, "Now we wait..."
"What did you do?" Remus raised an eyebrow in question.
"I just put a little hex on our buddy." Sirius winked, "He should be breaking out in pustule paradise in a second...."
They both snickered as suddenly they heard the girl sitting next to Snape cry out in disgust. They watched with glee as a gargantuan pimple grew larger by the second on his forehead and finally it exploded, shooting pus into a few people's hair and getting it on their clothes. Both young men could barely control their laughter until they noticed an enraged Severus approaching them. Wand in hand and a spell already half-way spoken on his lips.
"Don't you dare....." Remus said as he took out his wand in defense and so did Sirius.
"Oh, I shouldn't dare?" Severus said scornfully, "You think you can mess with me just because you have a little bit of authority around here Lupin? Well, you can't...." He shot back the same spell that Sirius had put on him.
Remus looked back at him with just as much anger as the Slytherin showed him. His face was beginning to be covered in zits and blackheads. Luckily Sirius knew the counter-spell and used it before any began exploding.
Finally Remus said, "Fine, I'll show you my authority Snape...." He took out a yellow slip from his pocket and wrote out a referral that suspended him from the Quidditch stadium for the next three matches and gave him detention for the week, starting that night. "Is that what you wanted?" Snape didn't answer. Remus shook his head, surprised that he actually did that, but he was angry, and now he had to escort him back to the castle. "Come on." He said to Severus, "I have to take you to see Filch so you can receive your punishment......"
Sirius watched as Remus began to walk down the stairs with Snape behind him, "You want me to come?"
"Nah, I'll be okay...." He waved to the dark-haired boy, "I'll be back in let's say 10 minutes..."
"Ok." Sirius smiled as they finally disappeared from his sight. He knew that Remus could handle Snape, he just had a bad feeling. He shook his head and mumbled to himself, "He's right, he'll be fine without me for 10 minutes."
Sirius sat down and decided to just enjoy the rest of the game. He watched with great interest as the scoring went back and forth between the two teams. It was almost as bad as watching a tennis match. But soon it was obvious that James had the snitch in his sights and was chasing it frantically as the Gryffindor crowd across the stadium cheered him on with all their might. There was no need though really. Within the next few minutes the stadium erupted in both cheers and boos as James landed with the golden snitch fluttering wildly in his hands like a bird trying to escape.
The students surrounding Sirius all barged off with anger written on their faces plain as day. He laughed a little until he noticed something was really wrong. He looked down at his watch and noticed it had between 20 minutes since the werewolf left with Snape as his company.
"Shit.....something's wrong." Sirius paced the stands a little, waiting for the students to leave, "I hope you're okay Moony.....Snivellus better not have touched you."
Suddenly Sirius' worst fears became a reality when he saw a few Gryffindor girls run back in the stadium screaming, "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP HIM!"
He ran down the steps to the girls and he grabbed one, who he noticed was Emily. He asked, "Emily, what's wrong? Help who? What happened?"
She had tears in her eyes and quickly replied, "Remus! You have to help him!" She began crying harder, "He's in the lake!"
Sirius' eyes widened in horror when the words reached his ears and his mind actually processed it. Without even thinking he pushed her aside and ran towards the lake. He felt like his heart was in his throat and tears started to form in his eyes. His hair flew everywhere as he ran and then he muttered to himself,
"Please be okay Remus......."

O_O! WOW! I wrote a long chapter!!! XD Be proud peoples! I'm really happy with the way this chapter came out, even though it wasn't exactly what I had planned. I really hoped you enjoyed it too. It was a blast writing this one! And if you can't tell, the next chappie is going to be "THE RESCUE!!" XD I know you all have to be just as excited as I am, but I have school and I got homework on the first day! ;_; It's not fair!! Oh well...I'll probably end up writing in class again :P
Well, please review now that I'm guessing that you read it since you're reading this. Just click the little buttony-thingie and write something to make me happy! I'm not sure when is the next time I'll be able to update (but I have web design and the teacher said we can go online when we have nothing to do, so I can probably update then.) But it all really depends on when I get it typed, which will probably be soon anyhow, so I don't know why I'm worrying. So, Until next time!
Ja ne! ^_^

"SIRIUS!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS ALREADY 6:00?!"
"Wha? Why? Was I supposed to or something?"
"Yea you were supposed to!" He grabbed me by my shirt, "I'm supposed to be there already!"
"Ok Moony!" I was starting to struggle walking with him dragging me, "Just, you think you can handle with care?" I pointed to my now stretched shirt.
He looked at what he had done and let go immediately, "Heh, sorry Padfoot. I overreacted a little."
"You think?" I added as I smoothed out my shirt. When I looked up he was already 30 feet ahead of me.
"Hey slowpoke!" He waved at me and starting running, "Can't you keep up?!"
I smirked evilly and looked to check if anyone was watching. No one. I ran towards him and mid-bound I turned into a dog.
I trotted at first and then at full speed I charged at the werewolf. He looked back at me and when he noticed I was in my dog form he stopped and started screaming. I wanted to laugh, but before I knew it he had transformed too and was running at top speed away from me. 'No fair....' I thought to myself as I as well ran at top speed, 'Wolves are faster than dogs....."
Finally he stopped once we were behind the stadium. I snuck up on him and tackled him. I felt his body struggle under my weight and then he turned back into a human and rolled over laughing. I transformed back as well and we ended up lying down next to each other laughing and panting like the dogs we actually are.
"That was fun..." I rolled to my side to look at Remus. He had his arms behind his head and was looking to the sky before he looked at me.
"Yeah, that was...." He smiled and then got up, "But I have to join the other prefects, seriously." He brushed the grass off of himself and proceeded towards the stadium entrance, "I was already late in the first place."
I sat up and grabbed his hand before he could leave, "Wait for me..."
He smiled as he grasped my hand and pulled me up to stand, "Of course I have to wait for you. You're supposed to help me remember?"
"Oh yeah," I grinned, "Why did I volunteer for this again?"
"Ah, stop complaining. It'll be fun...."
I rolled my eyes, "Sure...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus and Sirius then finally entered the stadium and noticed there were actually a lot of students already seated despite the fact the game didn't start for another 45 minutes. They stood there for a second to see where the prefects were supposed to organize and finally noticed a group of students with a few professors waving them down.
"Sorry I'm late." Remus said, "I lost track of time...."
"It's ok Lupin," Heather, the Hufflepuff head girl said. She eyed Sirius and then asked, "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, Sirius..." He began to introduce them, "This is Heather."
"Nice to meet you." Sirius smiled as he offered his hand for her to shake.
"Likewise." She blushed and gulped as she took his hand. All the female prefects began giggling when they noticed Sirius was near them.
"If it's ok, I was wondering if he could hang around with me and help me out during the match today." Remus asked. Heather was still holding Sirius hand.
"Yeah. Sure. Of course, no problem...." She replied even though she seemed to be in a trance caused by Sirius.
"Ok then. Thanks." Remus smiled before grabbing Sirius' hand away from her and playfully remarking, "I think you've had enough of that."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forty-five minutes had passed and the stadium was practically overflowing with spectators. Nearly every single Hogwarts student attended the Friday night match, there was nothing really better to do.
Only about 20 minutes had been played and both the Slytherins and the Gryffindors were already tied at 50 points each. And a tie wasn't a good thing when it came between the two houses. You could clearly tell where the majority of Slytherins sat in the stadium. It wasn't really pleasant, especially for Remus and Sirius. They were assigned to supervise that area.
"Please shoot me or something Sirius...." Remus whined, "I don't think I can write another detention slip."
Sirius laughed, "Actually this isn't as bad as I thought it would be."
"Sirius," Remus gave him a look that was so close to shame, "You only handle the girls because they'll do practically anything for you. They don't even care that you're a Gryffindor."
"Well, I'm only waiting to see if our dear friend Snivellus will do anything tonight." Sirius pointed his head towards the greasy-haired boy who'd cast a dark look towards the two boys every once in awhile. "I would've expected him to pull something already."
"Yeah, me too." Remus looked at Snape suspiciously, "It's kind of odd."
"Maybe we could do something to him first...." Sirius smirked, "You know, just to make him snap and get him in trouble..."
"What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know," He cast a maniacal look, "Maybe we could set his hair on fire just a little or something..."
"We can't do that Padfoot...." Remus began as Sirius gave a look that asked 'Why?', "Because we might start a grease fire if we did that!"
Both boys howled with laughter. Most of the crowd stopped to watch them until the announcer yelled, "AND GRYFFINDOR SCORES ANOTHER 10 POINTS!". Suddenly another riot broke out and the pair had to get to work, meanwhile Snape muttered under his breath,
"You won't be laughing too much in a little while...."
Once they managed to make the Slytherin crowd settle down Sirius just couldn't resist any longer. He pulled out his wand and carefully pointed it at their dear Snivellus and mumbled a few words as he chuckled to himself, "Now we wait..."
"What did you do?" Remus raised an eyebrow in question.
"I just put a little hex on our buddy." Sirius winked, "He should be breaking out in pustule paradise in a second...."
They both snickered as suddenly they heard the girl sitting next to Snape cry out in disgust. They watched with glee as a gargantuan pimple grew larger by the second on his forehead and finally it exploded, shooting pus into a few people's hair and getting it on their clothes. Both young men could barely control their laughter until they noticed an enraged Severus approaching them. Wand in hand and a spell already half-way spoken on his lips.
"Don't you dare....." Remus said as he took out his wand in defense and so did Sirius.
"Oh, I shouldn't dare?" Severus said scornfully, "You think you can mess with me just because you have a little bit of authority around here Lupin? Well, you can't...." He shot back the same spell that Sirius had put on him.
Remus looked back at him with just as much anger as the Slytherin showed him. His face was beginning to be covered in zits and blackheads. Luckily Sirius knew the counter-spell and used it before any began exploding.
Finally Remus said, "Fine, I'll show you my authority Snape...." He took out a yellow slip from his pocket and wrote out a referral that suspended him from the Quidditch stadium for the next three matches and gave him detention for the week, starting that night. "Is that what you wanted?" Snape didn't answer. Remus shook his head, surprised that he actually did that, but he was angry, and now he had to escort him back to the castle. "Come on." He said to Severus, "I have to take you to see Filch so you can receive your punishment......"
Sirius watched as Remus began to walk down the stairs with Snape behind him, "You want me to come?"
"Nah, I'll be okay...." He waved to the dark-haired boy, "I'll be back in let's say 10 minutes..."
"Ok." Sirius smiled as they finally disappeared from his sight. He knew that Remus could handle Snape, he just had a bad feeling. He shook his head and mumbled to himself, "He's right, he'll be fine without me for 10 minutes."
Sirius sat down and decided to just enjoy the rest of the game. He watched with great interest as the scoring went back and forth between the two teams. It was almost as bad as watching a tennis match. But soon it was obvious that James had the snitch in his sights and was chasing it frantically as the Gryffindor crowd across the stadium cheered him on with all their might. There was no need though really. Within the next few minutes the stadium erupted in both cheers and boos as James landed with the golden snitch fluttering wildly in his hands like a bird trying to escape.
The students surrounding Sirius all barged off with anger written on their faces plain as day. He laughed a little until he noticed something was really wrong. He looked down at his watch and noticed it had between 20 minutes since the werewolf left with Snape as his company.
"Shit.....something's wrong." Sirius paced the stands a little, waiting for the students to leave, "I hope you're okay Moony.....Snivellus better not have touched you."
Suddenly Sirius' worst fears became a reality when he saw a few Gryffindor girls run back in the stadium screaming, "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP HIM!"
He ran down the steps to the girls and he grabbed one, who he noticed was Emily. He asked, "Emily, what's wrong? Help who? What happened?"
She had tears in her eyes and quickly replied, "Remus! You have to help him!" She began crying harder, "He's in the lake!"
Sirius' eyes widened in horror when the words reached his ears and his mind actually processed it. Without even thinking he pushed her aside and ran towards the lake. He felt like his heart was in his throat and tears started to form in his eyes. His hair flew everywhere as he ran and then he muttered to himself,
"Please be okay Remus......."

O_O! WOW! I wrote a long chapter!!! XD Be proud peoples! I'm really happy with the way this chapter came out, even though it wasn't exactly what I had planned. I really hoped you enjoyed it too. It was a blast writing this one! And if you can't tell, the next chappie is going to be "THE RESCUE!!" XD I know you all have to be just as excited as I am, but I have school and I got homework on the first day! ;_; It's not fair!! Oh well...I'll probably end up writing in class again :P
Well, please review now that I'm guessing that you read it since you're reading this. Just click the little buttony-thingie and write something to make me happy! I'm not sure when is the next time I'll be able to update (but I have web design and the teacher said we can go online when we have nothing to do, so I can probably update then.) But it all really depends on when I get it typed, which will probably be soon anyhow, so I don't know why I'm worrying. So, Until next time!
Ja ne! ^_^
