I LOVE SIRIUS!!! Note the penname...MoJo-sbluver. Sb stands for Sirius Black...We have the same initials!!! AHHHH!!! *tear* I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, they are the property of JKR. **sniffle** Sirius: who you callin' property!? MoJo: SIRIUS!!!! *Gives Sirius huge bear-hug* James and Remus come to pull MoJo off of Padfoot, while Peter sits in the corner of the room picking his nose. **EEEWWW!!!!** MoJo attempts to hug Remus, another fave character of hers, but James and Sirius (after James used his wand to heal Sirius' nearly crushed spine) hold her back. James: Er...on with the story!!!!!

CHAPTER 3, THE FULL MOON PARTY Two weeks had passed and in that time, the usual happened. Sirius and James were able to turn Snape's shoes into hopping frogs, (and they even made them so that they squeaked when they hit the floor.) and grades were superb, as usual, for the three marauders. (But not the wannabe marauder, Peter, because he was mean and made Sirius go to Azkaban.) "Sorry I'm late, Professor Dumbledore," panted Moony, who had just run through the school to get to the Headmaster's office.

"Quite alright," he answered with a grin. "Let us go."

The two of them set off toward the Whomping Willow, along with the school nurse, Madame Pomfrey. Pomfrey was new around the school and this was her first time escorting a werewolf to his place of protection. She looked almost as pale as Remus.

"Now, Madame Pomfrey, all you have to do is check up on him while he is sleeping; you will put a protecting charm on you before you enter the hidden passage."

Pomfrey nodded a tiny nod, still staring at Lupin.

"To get the tree to stop thrashing, all you have to do is-"Dumbledore gave his wand a small jerk and the tree quit its dangerous thrashing. "-use a special stunning charm, meant just for this particular tree. I will teach you it tonight after we get Mr. Lupin safely to the House on the other end of the tunnel." (Yeah...I no that you hafta prod the knot on the tree...but that is an emergency way to do it...Dumbledore is the only one who knows the spell he made for it, until he teaches it to Pomfrey.) Because you only have a limited time to get through the hole, the tree had begun whipping it's huge branches around, swinging close to their heads.

Dumbledore did the charm again, and Remus went through the hole.

James, Sirius, and Peter watched Dumbledore walk towards the massive castle along with the school nurse as they were crouching under the James' invisibility cloak around the edge of the Forbidden Forest. They transformed immediately, and Peter scurried over and prodded the knot of the tree, making it freeze.

The mouse, stag, and dog scuttled, galloped, and bounded down the long tunnel to the house they knew their good pal Moony would be in.

It was dark, but the clouds weren't completely away from the moon quite yet, so Remus hadn't transformed. He was looking terribly sickly, though, as the animagi entered the small "haunted" house. They changed back to themselves, and after only about three minutes of thinking of what they should do, Lupin began to shake uncontrollably.

Swiftly his friends changed themselves just in time, as Remus began to grow hair all over his arms and legs, and his face looked upward toward the heavens in a sort of screwed up pained expression. His face became that of a werewolf's in a flash, and he and his friends played and wrestled with each other in the dark, dusty broken down shack.

Because they communicated to each other through their heads, they could sort of—think—conversations with each other.

"I Got You Babe..." thought Wormtail. "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US, PETER!??" shouted James through his head at the rat.

"Sorry...it's stuck in my head!"

"pf!" James and Sirius thought together.

"Shall we go to the Three Broomsticks and steal some butterbeer?" inquired Sirius.

"Sounds good to me!" answered James.

But as the four of them drank their butterbeer, Peter exclaimed, "What was that??" They all looked around, except for Lupin, who was just finishing off his butterbeer glass he had eaten.

"Oh, quit your whining, Wormtail." Said James as he bent down, accidently got his antlers stuck in his glass, and poured the remainder of the butterbeer over his head.

"EEK! HOT!! OUCH!!"

Sirius slirped up the rest of his and the four boys began thinking of what to do next.

"I guess we could hang out in the forest..." said James, turning away from Lupin.

"YEAH! Great idea, Prongs," answered Sirius. He looked over James' shoulder and gasped. "Where's Moony?"

Prongs whirled around and noticed that Remus was gone. He heard a huge belch and looked over at Wormtail, who had clearly just finished his butterbeer and was extremely drunk.

"E'RYBODY IN DA CLUB GE'IN TISPY..." he sang joyously.

"Wormtail, where is Remus?" Padfoot asked him urgently. The rat hiccupped and pointed upward to the sky. As the three of them looked up, they saw Remus on top of the building of Zonko's, staring up at the moon. They ran for him, and he began howling loudly, waking up everyone in the town.

Lights flicked on, igniting the cobblestones on the street with dancing light from the people moving within the homes. Just as someone was opening their door with a silver hook for defense, James and Sirius tackled Remus and they flew from the top of the building with a thump on the ground.

They herded the werewolf back up to the shack, Peter bouncing on Sirius' back.

The door to the house flew open and the boys stumbled inside. Sirius and Remus clawed at each other for a while, and soon Lupin calmed down a bit.

"Well, that went **hic** well..." hiccupped Peter.

A bit later that night, at around 2:00, the boys went into the forest and began frolicking.

As James was cantering alongside Sirius, who had Peter riding on his back, he stopped abruptly. He could smell the sweet perfume of Lily.

"Wait!" he thought to the others. Lupin, of course, didn't listen, and instead danced around the trees going deeper into the forest. He leapt along and found the place where Lily was talking to her friend, Sara.

"Oh, I just don't know what to do, Sara." She said. "He is so...so..."

"WHO!! WHO IS SO SO??" James would have yelled out loud, if he could have.

"Well, everyone knows that James has liked since he first set eyes on you, Lily. Im sorry to admit that, but it's the truth, and you're gonna hafta face that," her friend answered her.

James noticed Sirius gazing at Sara. He had likes her for as long as James liked Lily.

"Maybe I like James, and I just cant admit it to myself." Lily said. "Oh, I hope that's not the case."

The whispered conversation was happening near the front steps to the castle, so all the rest that James caught was Sara saying, "I like Sirius, but he can be a bit of a jerk sometimes...he's a great guy, I know it. He just doesn't like to show it because it's not "cool" to be a goody-goody. I think James is the same way."

"We should get back up to the dormitories, before we get caught out here..." said Lily. "I really wish this weren't the only place we could talk in privacy as well as comfort...since the common room is full of those stupid sprinklers James and Sirius put up all over the room that spray anyone within a 5-foot radius of them.

Padfoot stared at Sara in awe at what he had heard, and Prongs stared at Lily. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ THAT WAS A BIT LONGER THAN MY OTHER CHAPTERS SO IM SORRY IF ANYONES BRAIN IS BURSTING, BECAUSE IF IT IS THEN THAT IS SAD SINCE ALTHOUGH IT'S LONGER THAN THE REST IT'S NOT THAT LONG REALLY...
