There lay an uncautious, pale Snape with a werewolf Remus ten yards away. 'Remus must have changed before getting to the house, and once he heard the passage open...' Without even thinking about it Sirius change into dog form and fought Remus back into the tree and James nelt in his stag form and picked up Snape and rode him to the oak doors. He transformed into his regular form and not a moment too soon. The oak doors opened and at that time Sirius had faught Remus to the passage and he was running to James and at the same time trying to hide his scratch marks. Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall and Peter came through the doors.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, you will come to my office now. Mr. Pettigrew will you accompany Mr. Snape to the hospital wing?" Dumbledore said guiding James and Sirius in the doors leavinf McGonagall and Peter to get Snape.
"Mr. Black would you explain what happened?" Dumbledore said kindly, he saw that Sirius was near a nervous breakdown.
"Snape was making fun of May and I snapped." He paused as if trying to remember what happened. "I told him, not that Remus was a werewolf, but that he should tap the root at the base of the tree. If James hadn't pulled him out of the way Snape would probably be dead." He looked down and put his head in his hands.
"I see, Mr. Black I know you were provoked but that was a serious lack of judgement, you have to serve five detentions and apolgize to Mr. Snape, I will take no points becaue Mr. Potter's brave actions and risking his own life. You two are dismissed, and Mr. Black get a good nights sleep i will allow you to attend classes late because it has been a trying night."
"Thank you sir." James said and left.
"Sorry Professor." Sirius said quietly.
"No damage has been done, be careful in the future."
"I'm a horrible friend, what if Remus never speaks to me again?" Sirius asked while pacing the room.
"He will, he'll understand, though i admit it wasn't the best plan, he won't ignore you forever." James said comforting Sirius.
"Exactly," Peter said, "what about Snivellus though, did he promise not to tell. Because a fine thing it would be if he told Slytherin after Remus has kept this a secret six years."
"No, he has to have had promised Dumbledore, besides I think Snape is a vampire, so maybe he can relate." Sirius said grimly.
The door slowly opened and a very tired Remus opened it. He walked over to his bed and layed down without a word.
"Remus?" Sirius asked slowly.
A small grunt issued from behind his hangings to show he was listening.
"Look, I'll understand if you're mad, heck, I'll understand if you're furious, but i wanted to apologize about what happened. So I'm sorry man."
"I won't say that i'm not mad, but i'd probably do the same given the right incentive. So don't worry about it, anyway you canceled yourself out by getting me back down, after that i had enough sense to get away from the entrance." Remus said half in forgiveness.
"So hopefully we will never speak of this again?" James said.
"Yeah, but I have a feeling Snivellus will be a tad bitter." Remus said his expression going cold.
"Don't worry we'll take care of Snivellus." Peter said reasuringly.
"Yeah, Pete's right, we'll make sure he doesn't tell, anyway Snape looks more than half vampire so maybe he understands." Sirius said as the four burst in laughter.
"Anybody have garlic?" Peter asked after he stopped laughing, which caused them all to lose it again.
"You're serious? No Sirius don't even make that joke." Lily said at lunch after she had been told the story.
"Yeah it wasn't our finest moment." James said slowly.
"But at least we got through it." Remus said hopefully.
"Very true."
I am soo sorry this took so long, hopefully i'll be able to update a big chapter soon because i know this is a shortie.
