Author's Note:
I actually got reviews! Thanks to all you who reviewed:
Epiphanies: Sorry about the name. I'm glad you like it, I didn't think anyone would!
SpacyRicochet: Thanks so much for pointing that out. I haven't got my friend to proofread this yet, so I apologize in advance for any other mistakes. Thanks for the advice! I don't know what happened to the format of the story, it was doubled spaced. I'll go back and try to fix it.
Lizzie14: No, you're right. Werewolves are allergic to silver. Nicole isn't a werewolf, but Kayla is. The thing with the gold will be explained soon.
By the way, if anyone knows anything about werecats could you please tell me in a review or something? It would be a really big help!

The Werewolf and the Werecat
Chapter 2
By: Starr
The next day Nicole and Kayla walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. The ceiling of the Great Hall showed a bright, sunny day outside, as if in honor of the first day back. The hall was buzzing with noise. Most of the school was already eating. Everyone was talking about classes and in particular about Professor Snape filling in for Defense Against the Dark Arts. The girls took seats in the middle of the table by Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Neville.
"Can you believe it!" moaned Ron. "How can they let him teach DADA! He'd just love the chance to kill one of us."
At that thought, Neville went very pale and made a high-pitched squeaking noise.
"Oh, really, grow up! Snape hates us, but he's not going to kill us for goodness sakes," cried Hermione.
"Mione, how can you say that! He's a slimy, greasy-" Ron was cut off, however, from a voice coming from behind them.
"I'm sorry you feel that way Mr. Weasley. Five points from Gryffindor."
The kids all looked up to see Professor Snape standing behind Ron.
"Miss Thomas, the Headmaster would like to see you in his office." Snape said icily.
And with that he stalked off, his long black robes billowing behind him, reminiscent of a huge bat.
"Are you in trouble already?" Ron asked Nicole.
"It's probably about some paperwork I have to fill out or my schedule or something," Nicole replied, tucking her longish brown hair behind her ears and standing up. She grabbed her bag and headed out of the hall. Kayla watched her go, giving her a puzzled expression.
"Something's up with her." Kayla said.
"You heard her, it's probably nothing." Neville said, glancing up from his cereal.
"No, it's not just that. She acts like she's hiding something and I want to know what it is."
Harry looked up from his breakfast.
"Kayla, you're probably just imagining things. Stop worrying so much." Harry said.
Just then McGonagall came bustling down the Gryffindor table passing out the fifth year's schedules. Everyone's faces fell when they saw they had DADA followed by Potions. Ron began to moan and Neville looked like he was going to cry. Harry put his head down on his arms and groaned, while Hermione just sighed in exasperation.
"Could this day get any worse?" Ron asked.
As if on cue, Errol, Ron's owl flew down to give him a letter, but not before pooping on his head and landing in his cereal. Ron just groaned and put his head down on the table while everyone else laughed.
****************
An hour later the fifth years were in DADA class waiting for Professor Snape. Nicole had already returned from Dumbledore's office, but would give no explanation as why he had wanted to see her. As Ron was begging her yet again for information the door flew open and Snape walked in, his face expressionless and his arms folded across his chest.
"Open your books to page 452. Today we will be starting a unit on werecreatures. Your assignment is to writes a foot of notes on werewolves to be turned in at the end of class. There is to be no talking. If I hear any conversations the perpetrator will be scrubbing the dungeons tonight. You may begin." Professor Snape sneered.
Kayla, however, wasn't listening to him. Instead, she was watching Nicole. At the mention of werecreatures Nicole's amber eyes had shot up and she was watching Snape uneasily. Finally, she got out her book to begin the assignment. Kayla gave her one more glance before following suit.
She was silently fuming at Snape. She knew he had probably picked the topic just to irk her and make her feel uncomfortable. Then why did it bother Kayla? She glanced over at her new friend. Nicole was staring blankly at the page on ways to kill werecreatures, her expression unreadable.
~That's odd.~
***************
That evening after classes Kayla went up to the library. She had a hunch about what Nicole was hiding, but she wasn't sure. She was hoping that she could find a book that would confirm her suspicions. She walked into the library and headed over to the DADA books. Kayla pulled a few volumes down off the shelf and carried them to a table in the back of the room.
The library was nearly empty, so no one noticed as Kayla searched the indexes of the books. She tossed several of the volumes aside before she apparently found what she was looking for. Kayla flipped through the pages of the book, stopping on a page near the middle. As she read it her eyes got wide.
"No way," she said. "I can't believe it."
And with that Nicole jumped up and ran out of the library.
"No running!" Madam Pince yelled after her, looking up from her thick novel. However, Kayla paid her no heed. She ran as fast as she could up to Dumbledore's office.
**************
Please review, but please don't flame me. Thanks to all of you who reviewed the last chapter! In the next chapter we will find out Nicole's secret (I left out what Kayla was looking at on purpose) and Kayla will confront her about it.
