Author's Notes: Jeez, you people! What's with your obsession w/ a certain psycho named Mary. Lol. Ok, fine. I'll put her back in ...but I don't think it'll be this chapter. I've promised myself that I would have Remus transform, then my diabolical plan, then the amazing conclusion which might involve Merwin. Hehe. I HAVE TOO MANY PSYCHOTIC NEIGHBORS!!! twitch twitch hehehehe I OWN THE CHARACTER MARY!!! Cackle. But that's all...darn...I wish I owned Sirius. HE WOULD BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 17

Remus, Sirius, and Peter were already inside of the Shrieking Shack, preparing for the night's event, Remus's transformation. Lupin was collapsed on the ground in pain, as a strong ray of light from the moon shone onto Remus's weakened body. Sirius and Peter had decided it would be best if they transformed as soon as possible, just in case Remus's transformation went awry.

"Moony!" Peter squeaked. (A/N: lol, I know, already I have another author's note...but here's the deal. I have no idea how they communicate as animals (if they even can) and I want them to be able to talk...so they can talk telepathically thanks to a spell...of some form....er...plot hole!!!)

"Moony, are you alright, mate?"

"Of course I'm not alright!" Lupin growled, telepathically, finally completing the transformation and managing to hold onto his human mind.

"Where's Prongs?" asked the clueless one. (A/N: Peter.)

"Don't ask," Lupin and Sirus replied simultaneously.

"Er—ok."

"C'mon let's go explore!" Sirius leapt into the air and was about to run out the door, when he came face to face with...

Author's Notes: ok, that's it: the end of the chapter. JUST KIDDING!!! Sorry, I'm hyper right now...it's 11:36...who can blame me. It's a cliff-hanger...but I'll complete this thought in a minute or two...don't worry!!!

A bit earlier, we join our character, James...and in another second, Lily, inside of Hogwarts...also, this scene ends when it rejoins w/ the above events. Get it? And if not...just keep reading...

I can't believe Moony. What does he think he's doing, not letting me help him through his transformations. I have to go. I can't just abandon him like that. It's insanity. Why does he have to be so stub—

"Potter!" Lily shouted from down the hall.

"Be quiet! You'll wake everyone up," he whispered. "We're on a last name basis again are we?"

"Can't you stay focused? I swear you have ADD."

"ADHD," he corrected. "Hey, I'm not as bad as Mary."

"Who?"

"Remus's ex-girlfriend. She was the crazy one—hyperactive too."

"That's beside the point, James."

"Stop switching. James—Potter—egotistical nark—James—moron—make up your mind."

"FOCUS!!!"

"Sorry."

"Where does Remus go when he transforms."

"I'm not telling you that. Moony is mad enough with me already. There's no way I'm going to make it worse for myself."

"Just tell me."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"I'll go out with you."

James's face contorted in frustration. The love of my life versus a murderous werewolf...love or angry murderer...betraying my friend...getting to date the woman of my dreams.

"James?"

"Huh?" he responded blankly.

"Tell me."

"I ca—a—an't!" he wailed.

"Sssshhhh!" she clapped her hand over his mouth and pulled out her wand. "Either you take me to where Remus is, or I'll hex you into next millennium."

"Is that any way to talk to your future husband?" James's muffled voice mocked.

"Don't make me hex you." Lily pointed her wand towards a spot he'd rather not have injured. "Destri—!" James squealed and enthusiastically agreed to show her exactly where Remus would be, but not before he warned her numerous times about how Remus acted around human blood. They walked out of Hogwarts and towards the Whomping Willow, when they came face to face with...

A/N: Déjà vu, anyone? In case you couldn't figure it out...we're back to the part where Sirius came face to face with...bu buuuu bummmmmmmm...I wonder who it could be?

In a tangle of confusion and words, everyone was now staring blankly at everybody else.

"Sirius?"

"Moony?"

"Prongs?"

"Lupin?"

"P—what's your name again?"

"Padfoot?"

"LILY?!"

"Remus?"

"Mrs. Potter?" gaped, none other than, Sirius.

"Evans?!"

"Black. Sod off."

"Peter?!" Peter interjected, not wanting to feel left out of all of the names being shouted in mass confusion. Everybody just turned and stared at him, not sure whether to burst out laughing or punch him because of his immense stupidity.

"STOP!!!" Remus yelled into their minds. "What the bleeding hell is going on, and what is she doing here?"

Remus quickly began to lose control of his body, because of the scent of Lily's blood. He lunged at her but in the blink of an eye, a White Bengal Tiger with bright green eyes had taken her place. (A/N: for those who don't know, a wbt is a white tiger with grey stripes for pics go to http:www.tiger.to/aft/index.htmlNo one in the room seemed to be functioning at that point. It was the middle of the night, the insanity of the people, or lack there of, in the room seemed to be the breaking point. James, being the first to recover, intelligently stuttered phrases, resembling, well, english, we think.

"You—tiger—Lily—form—trans—not—human—but—how—bu—?"

"AAAHHHH!" yelled Sirius, mentally of course, running around in circles chasing his tail. "The giraffe ate Lily! The giraffe ate Lily!" This caused Peter, always being a little slow, mentally and physically, to faint.

"That's a tiger, Padfoot." Remus corrected, being the first to use his brain, seeing as how he is the only one that has one.

"Oh! The tiger ate Lily!"

"The tiger didn't eat Lily."

"My brain hurts."

"Tiger—person—ate—oh no—Padfoot, you're right—it ate her!"

"Both of you, listen to me." The werewolf stepped in front of Prongs and Padfoot and growled menacingly. "Lily is apparently an animagus. She transformed into a tiger, so that I couldn't smell her human blood."

"I see." James said.

"'I see', said the blind man to his deaf wife," Sirius laughed.

"You're both morons," Lily finally communicated with them.

"Also, Prongs, I never want to hear the words Padfoot, you're right come out of you're mouth, ever again."

"I couldn't agree more," Lily nodded her tiger head in approval.

"I resent that."

"Is P—what's-his-face alive?" Lily asked.

"You mean Peter?" Lupin clarified.

"Yeah. Him."

"He's just unconscious. He'll be fine."

"Why is she here, James?" Lupin growled.

"She threatened to kill me."

"Right."

"Wait a second. Lily is an animangus! How long have you been able to transform?" Sirius said.

"About 2 years...I was reading this book about magic right after I received my acceptance letter, and I thought it was really cool, so I learned how."

"She's so perfect and amazing," James drooled.

"Close your mouth, Prongs," Sirius laughed. "You're drooling."

"It's almost morning," sighed Peter.

"When did you wake up?" James asked, but before he got his response, Lupin had fallen back onto the ground and transformed into a human, once again.

"C'mon, we should go," Lily yawned, rubbing her human eyes. They all transformed again, and went into the school.

Author's Notes: I don't really like this ending too much, but I had the transformation and Lily's transformation...so it's good enough.

Next Chapter: More Aphrodite, more Mary, and more Lupin and James. Hehe
