AN: ok, so here we are with chapter eight. I would first off like to thank Dixiehnsnluver for helping me with the general track of this story. There were two choices and I couldn't decide which to use. The one I chose I liked a bit better.

Chapter eight

Cayte leaned against Sirius' shoulder and closed her eyes. His arm was around her, and he leaned his head down on top of hers. As they lie there, peace enwrapped them in the form of sleep.

They each had there own reasons for needing comfort, and each was being met. Cayte started to dream of her life in the future.

She was flying home from work. She wore a ministry robe. It looked to here like she was an Auror. She landed and was greeted by a boy with black hair. They smiled at each other then walked into the house. Sirius was sitting on the couch reading the Daily Prophet. He got up and hugged her; the boy started to laugh as Remus' head popped through the fireplace with green sludge on his robe. They all talked to him, they must have planned to go somewhere because they all got onto their broomsticks and flew off. They were landing at the leaky cauldron, and Remus was sitting at a table with three extra chairs. He was drinking a butterbeer and wav-

"What der you two think you're doin' out here?" came the booming voice of Hagrid.

(AN: we are no going back to before Hagrid gets here. We must see what Siri dear was dreaming.)

They each had there own reasons for needing comfort, and each was being met. Sirius started to dream of his life in the future.

He was lying in bed, to upset to do anything but lie there wishing he were somewhere else. Cayte walked in carrying a tray of food. A tear was sliding down her face. She set the tray down on a table next to him. Then she sat down and started trying to soothe his sadness. Dumbledore walked in. He smiled and gave Sirius a sleeping potion. The last thing he saw was Dumbledore and Cayte walking out of the ro-

"What der you two think you're doin' out here?" came the booming voice of Hagrid.

Cayte and Sirius were startled into waking up. Cayte woke up half smiling and Sirius has a bit of a puzzled look on his face. Then both of their faces showed a look of half confusion and half embarrassment.

"Classes have started, now why aren't you in yours?" Hagrid asked (AN; I can't do Hagrid speak, sorry)

"Umm." there was that unison thing again.

Sirius was the first to answer, " We're sorry Hagrid. We fell asleep after doing some-"

"Studying!" Cayte interjected. "We were studying and we fell asleep without realizing it. We'll just be heading back to class now. Sorry."

"Oh no you don't, I'll take you to yer classes. Where ya headed?"

"Transfiguration," Sirius and Cayte were both worried. Neither of them had ever skipped a class before.

They reached the transfigurations classroom and Cayte and Sirius went to their seats. "Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry to have kept them so long. They were helping me with the pumpkins for Halloween."

"Yes of course Hagrid. Cayte, Sirius, we are working on transfiguring a q-tip into a bunny rabbit." Hagrid left, and they each started to work on their transfigurations.

Sirius slid Cayte a piece of parchment. Cayte looked down and read what it said.

"Holy shit that was awesome! I can't believe Hagrid did that!"

Cayte laughed inwardly and yawned. She was still tired and couldn't help thinking of her dream. Sirius on the other hand forgot all about his.

"I can't wait for break. I need to listen to some Guster. They always rock when I'm in a good mood. Care to join me?" Cayte wrote

"Nah. James, Peter, Lily and I have some research we need to do in the Library. We've almost found what we're looking for.'

"What is it?"

Sirius paused, thinking about whether or not he should tell her about Remus' lycanthropy. Either way he wouldn't tell her here. "I'll tell you later."

"Ok."

~*~

There was a scream of excitement in the Library. "WE'VE GOT IT!!!! Yes we've got it!" Sirius and James were jumping up and down; they had found the exact ingredients to the potion that allows your body to change into an animagi.

"Guys, I hate to burst your bubble, but how are we going to get all this stuff. Look, it says we need all these things that can only be found in the potions lab or on knocturn ally. There is no way we can do this!"

"Yeah we can Lily. I'll give you my invisibility cloak. You can go after it."

"That's all right, you can get it all."

It was Peter who spoke up next. "How will they know what to get? You're the only person who knows what it all looks like!"

"He is right Lily," Sirius said. "Maybe we can all go."

"Let's just figure it out later. We've got to tell Remus!" Sirius said, already running to the commons room.

Once in the commons room they told Remus to meet them in the dorms. Lily came too, although she was so nervous about being caught that she didn't hear a word that was said. Remus was very excited, they all agreed to have a small party when they got back from the Hogsmeade weekend. Everyone started to go downstairs but Sirius asked Remus to stay behind for a minute.

"Hey! Um.Can I tell Cayte about the lycanthropy and all? I know you don't like people to know so I wanted to ask."

Remus gave a startled look. "Uh. why do you want to tell her in the first place?"

"She was asking what we were looking for in the Library and I told her I'd tell her later. She wouldn't tell a soul Remy. Really.."

"And you know she wouldn't go and tell the whole school? Sirius I just don't know."

"I tell her everything. I mean everything too, things that no one knows, not even James. She hasn't told one person anything. She wouldn't.."

"She seems nice. Not that bad really. I have been told that I should let others know sometimes.I'm just so afraid that she would hate me after that."

Sirius suddenly ran to his trunk and pulled a piece of parchment out. "Read this. Cayte wrote it to me awhile ago."

Remus looked at the paper and read what it said;

"I would never hate anyone for something as minor as religion, race, hell even if they were some monstrous creature. As long as they are nice.Well, not all the time, there are some things you just can't help not liking. My friend once owned a wolf at the zoo. I didn't even hate that after it tried to bite me. Never come across a werewolf but I always wondered if they were nice as humans."

After he finished reading the last part, he handed it back to Sirius. "Wow. She is great isn't she? She always did seem to be filled with love. I suppose you can tell her." Remus walked off. He knew he'd be embarrassed to see Cayte for the next few days, she would know his secret.

~*~

"An animagi? What the heck is that? And why do you desire to become one?" Cayte asked somewhat surprised.

It was another lunchtime at the tree, only this time they wouldn't fall asleep.

"It's where you can change into an animal of some sort at will. Just by muttering a spell. First you have to drink this potion, which is wicked hard to make, then after that at any point in time you can change into your animal."

"Ok, but why do you want to do this? Besides the fact that it would be totally awesome!" Cayte said, still curious.

"Cayte, if I tell you this, you must swear to me that you will never tell a soul. Never! Do you understand? This is of vital importance."

"Yeah sure. I won't. I've never told anyone about things you have told me. Why would I do it now?"

Sirius quickly followed up, leaving no pause in between his and Cayte's words. "Remus is a werewolf."

"What?"

AN: gotta end on that note. It's great isn't if. If I get the chance I will type of chappy nine tonight and send it to myself via email so I can update when I'm gone. Other wise it'll be around Monday before you know what happens. You can, however, visit my online journal that is posted in my profile to see what could happen.thank you.
