Chapter 26
**
I had to march around school all day with Snape attached to me. Sirius wanted to kick his arse (yes, a new English word that I absolutely love.) many times.
"Snape! Stop!" I yelled at him as we entered our next class. It was Transfiguration, and Professor Mcgonagall was staring at us with a weird expression on her face.
"Snape, Cox, get over here right now." She said. We walked our way over there.
"Why are you guys like this?" She asked.
"He did it!" I said at the same time he said, "She did it!"
"I don't care who did it, how did it happen?" She asked us.
"The Professor used a sticking Charm to teach us a lesson." I told her. We were pushing each other back and forth.
"You two are acting like little kids." The Professor said. She undid the charm and pointed us to our seats. I sat next to Sirius because I wanted to be near him again.
"That was some comedy." Peter said who was sitting next to Sirius. I gave him a death glare because I was so mad, I knew I didn't mean to take it out on him but he was the first to talk.
Later that day I was sitting in the common room with Alyssa.
"I can't believe they got together." Alyssa said with a big smile on her face. We both knew she was kidding.
"Oh come on, we both knew it was only a matter of time," I said. Lily came up upon us.
"What was only a matter of time?" She asked. He both looked at each other and giggled. Lily looked from both of us and then she sat down.
"You talking about me?" She asked.
"Yes, we were wondering what made you change your mind about James?" Alyssa asked. I was wondering the same thing. Just after O.W.L.s last year, she hated him with all of her being.
"Well, during the summer we started to owl each other and we got close and well I started to like him more. little by little." She said. We giggled as we read the love notes that James had sent to her over the summer. We giggled and we oooed and awwwed until the guys walked in.
"What are you girls looking at?" James asked. His ears had turned pink as he recognized the letters that he spent hours and hours pouring his soul into them to get Lily.
"Nothing." I said hiding the letter I was holding.
"I can't believe you Lily!" He said with fake anger. She bit her lip and tried to smile sweetly. He came over to her and started to tickle her.
"Stop.. Stop.. Stop!" She shrieked with laughter in her voice. Sirius sat next to me smiling at the image before him. He was glad that his best friend had gotten what he had always wanted. Lily. Remus sat across from Alyssa and opened his book. He looked like he hadn't been sleeping for days. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair seemed more gray then usual. I thought it was due to the fact that maybe a family member was sick. A lot of his family got sick very easily. Almost once a month and that was since I had been coming to this school.
"Remus you look very tired." I commented making myself comfortable in Sirius' arms. It seemed as if we were the perfect match. Like two puzzle pieces that fit to make a larger picture.
"Do I?" He asked politely.
"Yeah, is everything ok?" I asked him, I was just naturally concerned about people.
"Yeah, why wouldn't things be?" Remus asked still looking in his book.
"I don't know. Someone in your family sick again? You know I know a great doctor, one of my dad's friends, she can fix anything." I said trying to help.
"Thank you but I am sure things will be fine." He said.
"Ok, but I'm here, with the name, I need to make one call." I said. He nodded still staring at his book.
"I'll tell my mom that tomorrow." He said.
"You're leaving?" Alyssa asked. He nodded and tried to avoid all of the gazes from us.
"God Bless her." I said. That night we had astronomy homework. I hated calculating the moon chart. I charted the moon for the last three weeks. My diary was sitting next to me. I haven't read my diary over in a while. My dorm was empty and I had the time. Besides I was a procrastinator. I picked it up and flipped back a couple of pages. I looked over the last few months and realized that once a month Remus would go and visit his family. Because of a sick relative or a dead relative. It didn't matter he always left once a month. I looked at my chart and I looked at the dates that Remus would leave. He always seemed to leave the day of a full moon. The day of the full moon, maybe one of his relatives was werewolf. Then I laughed at myself for seeming so silly. Werewolves were very rare and it wasn't likely that Remus was related to one, much less is one.
I went to sleep that night and my dreams were filled with werewolves and dogs. And then something oddly familiar came to me. I was in the forbidden forest and I heard the crunching of twigs. Sirius was beside me and then I saw it. A werewolf coming straight for me its teeth were glistening in the moonlight. I tried to scream but nothing came out.
I woke up bolting up right; sweat was plastering my hair to my forehead. For some reason I remembered what had happened last year. During detention, I remember the werewolf coming toward us and Sirius turning into a dog.
I walked out of my dorm; there was no way that I could sleep. I could have sneaked out of the castle easily. So I did. I left and walked toward the Forest. I needed closure; there couldn't REALLY be a werewolf in the forest. Dumbledore wouldn't want that on this campus. It would be horrible if it accidentally bit a student. Although the forest is off limits to students. I heard a rustling in the bushes and turned around quickly with my wand raised. I heard another noise behind me and this time I saw it, it was a werewolf charging right at me with a stag and dog following it. I raised my wand ready to fight.
"Confundo!" I yelled casting a Cunfundus Charm. The spell charged right at them and it hit the werewolf right between the eyes. He staggered for a minute and toppled over. The stag and dog looked from the werewolf to me and back to the werewolf. The dog turned into Sirius while the stag stood on top of the werewolf. The werewolf was stirring obviously confused.
"Lets get out of here fast." Sirius said pulling me by my arm. I went along to get away from the werewolf. When we got into the safety of the castle and the common room. I turned to Sirius slowly.
"Who was that?" I asked simply. Sirius hung his head and whispered one word.
"Remus."
