Thanks to Tiania, Redireas, and MiSSxMELON for the reviews...I need them to keep going.

Also thank you MiSSxMELON for taking the time to read over my story and correct the errors (Turns out the computer decided to put those funny letter things where ever I did a quatation mark or comma)

Just wanted to say that I'll be gone for a few days next week... I will be writing Chapter 11 and Chapter 2 to one of my other fanfics (Not Lost).I'll get them typed and checked and posted as quickly as possible

Thanks so much for reading!

Chapter 10- Train Ride

The wolf had been particularly nasty last night. Dad said it was because I had been so close to all those people in Diagon Alley; how it was so close to the surface yet unable to do anything.

I had a number of cuts around my neck and face; luckily they weren't too bad and most healed after a few hours of sleep and the orange potion, which I called simply, The Potion.

I took the initiative of being bedridden to read some of my new text books. When mom found out about my little episode, she went ballistic. She took of an entire week and only let me out of her sight to use the bathroom or to make a quick trip to the kitchen.

As much as I loved my mom, it started to drive me mad.

Peter sent a note to me a few days later, it said:

I suspect James and Sirius are up to something, he wrote, some sort of prank.

I wrote back to him, asking how he knew,

My mom said she saw the two coming from a joke shop laden with bags of all sorts of things. Be careful around them if they deny anything. He had warned
When September 1st came around Mom down right refused to stay home. It took a lot of convincing but in the end dad performed some spell making mom look worse than I did even after a full moon.

Mom said that she'd been in several acting classed as a child, so could easily act sick.

We took the muggle train again to King's Cross Station where several people moved so we could sit alone. Mom wasn't a bad actor at all.

People on platform 9 ¾ stayed away from us as well, although some came up to mom and wished her well.

I wanted mom to wait so she could meet James, Sirius, and Peter in person. When I noticed Peter and called him over, he looked utterly petrified,

"Don't worry dear," Mom wheezed. "It's not contagious."

A few minutes later James and Sirius appeared on the platform; almost at once they recognized my dad and met up with us. When they saw mom, however, both immediately looked ill.

I was satisfied that if James and Sirius had suspected something, they wouldn't anymore.
"Man, your mom looks terrible," Peter said as we sat in a compartment,

"Yeah, we should've come over to help out," Sirius grumbled

"No, its fine, she's pretty independent... So I heard you and James went to a joke shop." I said slyly.

Sirius and James grinned at each other,

"We've got a few surprises for Snape and Malfoy this year," Sirius replied.

"Like what?" I asked warily

Their grins broadened

"Never mind," I said hastily before either could answer.

James, who looked slightly put off at not being able to tell Peter and I about the surprises, turned to his bag,

"Anyone wants play Exploding Snap?" He asked. Sirius at once said yes and the two busied themselves.

I began looking for my book when I heard Peter say,

"Hey Remus?"

"Hmm?" I looked up at him,

"Do you think... can I... can you help me?"

"Sure," I said brightly. "What with?"

"My essay for Professor Binns. Who started the Rebellion of Scotland in 1702?"

Having done Binns assignment 3 times during the summer, I understood the whole Rebellion completely. I helped Peter until the woman with the trolley came by; we all bought a load of junk food and drinks.
At one point James and Sirius had a chocolate eating contest, though in the end neither won, both got sick and spent a good ten minutes in the bathroom.

But being ill didn't stop them from causing mayhem.

When they arrived back at the compartment they told us they dropped a miniature dung bomb in a compartment that held 5 Slytherin girls. The bomb was designed to go off and, well, do its job for a minute, then disappear. This way the girls had no proof that there had been a dung bomb.

Peter seemed to be in awe of them, particularly James. It was peculiar.

James, Sirius, and I were rather tall and had some build (James and Sirius more than I), and all three of had a knack for learning.

But Peter, he was different. He was short, and kind of chubby, he didn't really have a knack for anything.

Shut up, Remus, I thought, you're lucky you even have friends. Or did you forget? People don't like werewolves.

But it's weird, the second thought came to me, most people hang out with those who're like him.

Shut up, Remus! the first thought seemed to growl.

"OH! Give me a Cauldron, Give me a Wand"

I jumped, returning my attention back to the compartment. James and Sirius had broken into song. Peter gave me a sidelong glance and smiled, we watched them interestedly as they acted drunk, singing some song by the Weird Sisters.

As they stopped to take a breath, however, the compartment door opened,

"Can you keep it down?" The girl asked. She had nice red hair and striking green eyes.

"Sorry," Sirius said grinning stupidly at James's expression.

James had some sort of glint in his eye and he was grinning more stupidly than Sirius

"Yes, your highness," He said, bowing to her,

She eyed him, annoyed, before turning and walking off, I heard her mumble 'boys' before Sirius and James started cackling.

"Oh come on, Remus, loosen up! You look terrible," James commented

"Geez James, thanks," I smiled

"If you don't start smiling more, James, Peter, and I will be forced to take action," Sirius acted dramatically.

"I'll keep that in mind," I smiled again. "I might have to even join in on the pranks." To keep an eye on you, my mind finished my sentence.

Even Peter looked surprised, and after a few moments Sirius cheered,

"I knew you'd come around!"
Another note. I NEED HELP!!

If you know anything about werewolves and where I could find info. Or you could help me with an upcomming chapter please email me at lycanthropylupin at yahoo dot com (It's being difficult so I have to write it like this). I am having trouble figuring out what will be done when the students learn about werewolves in their 3rd year (Yes, I know that is a bit a a while away, but the sooner the better) thanks a load!

Oh and REVIEW!
