Chapter Three: Paw Deep in Mystery
Remus paced across the sixth year boy's dormitory. The necklace he had placed into his pocket long ago, but it was still fresh in his mind. Getting fed up with his constant pacing, Sirius stuck out his foot as Remus walked by, deep in thought, and laughed when the poor werewolf tripped. It took Remus a while to assess what had happened but when he did Sirius was in deep trouble.
"Sirius you prat!" He yelled lunging at his friend.
"JAMES HE'S TRYING TO EAT ME AGAIN! HELP!" Sirius shrieked in terror as he ran from the almost rabid boy in front of him. James looked up over the top of his 'Quidditch through the Years' book and rolled his eyes.
"Don't kill him just yet Moony." He ordered lazily throwing a pillow at Remus. It hit him in the head and seemed to knock him back into his senses.
"Is it that time of month yet Remus?" Asked Sirius ducking just in case. Remus opened his mouth to reply but James beat him to it.
"Actually its in two days, Sirius." James finished glancing at the Lunar Chart and then back at his friends.
"Ha! Then, we will be alone in the forest Sirius! And remind me, can dogs scream or not? No bother, no one will be around to hear it!" Remus growled as Sirius went pale, transformed into a dog and tried to scream. All that came out was a horrible yipping noise.
"Make it stop!" Whined Peter. James rolled off his bed and clamped two hands down hard on Sirius' muzzle.
"Now if I let go will you shut up?" He questioned. The dog nodded. "Good boy!" Remus grinned at the dog maliciously as it ran and hid under its bed.
"Why were you pacing earlier Remus?" Asked Peter.
"Oh," Remus stopped and wondered if he should tell his friends about the girl. Deciding not to he said, "No reason, just thinking. Lets go get something to eat, before hot dog winds up on the menu."
Two Days Later, Full Moon (no perverted thoughts please...... ::is plagued by horrible mental pictures:: ahhh, the pain)
Remus knocked on the door to the Hospital Wing and was greeted by Madame Pompfry.
"Late again Remus? You're going to give us just barely enough time to get down there before the sun sets. Come." She said shutting the door to the and pulling an invisibility cloak over them.
Quietly they made their way out to the Whomping Willow. The school nurse poked the knot on the tree to freeze it and they hurried down the tunnel. She barely had time to shut the door before a full- fledged werewolf stood in front of her.
Then out of no where Padfoot tackled him from behind and Prongs joined in the fray. After playing the four animals made their was down the tunnel and out into the forest.
Keeping his promise to Sirius, Remus turned and began growling at the dog. It stopped dead then turned tail and sprinted away. The wolf took chase and the deer and rat seemed to be laughing. With an eerie howl Remus looked around him trying to find Sirius. Strangely his call was answered.
