Lily and James' Best Years

Chapter 13-A Full Moon Adventure

James, Sirius and Peter were sneaking around the corridors, Sirius and
Peter in their animal forms, James holding wormtail in his arms so
that Sirius or he would not run him over. They slipped outside
silently and walked towards the Whipping Willow. James picked up a
long twig and touched the trunk of the tree. It stopped moving
immediately. James took off the cloak and followed Padfoot and
Wormtail into the space between the roots. After slipping into it,
James hid the cloak in a corner, turned into a stag and followed his
best friend's black tail.

When the four got to the Shivering Shack they heard the noise of their
best friend ripping all furniture around him. Sirius let out a bark
and the sound stopped. They all climbed up the stairs into one of
their rooms where a wolf was waiting for them, he started playing
cheerily with Padfoot and then turned to Prongs and jumped on it
playfully, when it saw Wormtail, however, he got a look in his eyes
James did not like, he looked as if he was about to eat him.

He ran to stand in front of Remus and pushed him forwards with his
prongs just in time. Moony looked about to attack.

If you were at Hogsmead on that night after midnight, you would
probably see a beautiful stag, a bear sized black dog, a wolf, and a
rat running down the streets, playing along.

But only hours later, Remus changed back to his human form and smiled
at his friends as they all did the same as him.

"That was fun." Remus smiled.

"It's always fun." Sirius smiled.

"It's not fun on summers. I keep thinking I might attack my parents."
Remus said, staring at the floor. James put a hand on his shoulder to
comfort him.

"But the year just started and we have seven more of these before we
have to go, so you have absolutely no reason to think about that now."
He smiled and moony smiled back.

"Right." He shrugged off his hand and looked around. "Hogwarts, then?"

"Now?" Sirius's bottom lip quivered in an attempt to look pathetic
enough for Remus to let him stay.

"Yes." Remus said, heading back to the Srieking Shack, James laughed
at Sirius's face and followed, then Peter and then, tail between his
legs (literally,) Sirius.

***

The next morning the girls saw the boys were tired and kept asking
questions.

"Why didn't you get any sleep last night?" Kayla asked after James
yawned in her face.

"No reason." Remus smiled at her, she crossed her arms on her chest
and glared at him, then she turned to Millicent. Millicent rubbed her
leg lightly on Sirius's. He turned.

"Yes?"

"Please?" she whispered.

"What?"

"Tell me."

"Can't."

"Sirius.please? I'll be very happy." Sirius gave out a bark-like laugh
and shook his head, Millicent crossed her arms.

"Fine." She whispered back, James watched then and shook his head in
disbelief.

"James, will you please tell me?" Lily asked.

"Sorry, but you know we can't."

"I won't tell-"

"Lils, I can't. I'm sorry. I would, You know I would, but it's not my
secret to tell."

"You know I'll figure it out anyway."

"I'm looking forward to the day you do." James whispered back, smiled
at her sour face and got up, bag on one shoulder and smiling at all
the people who passed.
