Into the Village

"And when the newt's eye is added into the cauldron, stir clockwise and… Sirius! Stop!"

Twas was another day throughout the Gryffindor Common Room. Remus was attempting to study for the potion's test tomorrow, but Sirius was continually bugging him. Not that Remus didn't like the attention, but there are a few exceptions when one is studying for a test, a very important one. Sirius, who hadn't saw the need of studying for the test was continually bugging his fair-headed friend by simply doing that, bugging him.

"Moooooooonnnnnnnyyyyy!!! Talk to me! I'm bored!!!!" Sirius whined, tugging at Remus' robe while at it. It seems that James was off to flirt with Lily (Sirius heard her screaming something that sounded awfully like 'NO!') and Peter was off snacking in the kitchens. It seems Padfoot decided to "study" with Remus, but was doing the exact opposite.

"Bugger off Mr. Padfoot," Remus grumbled, prying his friend's fingers off his robes.

"After stirring clockwise for three minutes add the dissected toe's frog and… ewww!!! Sirius!!!"

It seems that Remus' face was now covered in drool, which came from an overfriendly black dog which looked remarkably like the bad luck giving Grim.

"Down Padfoot!" Remus laughed, struggling to get the overexcited puppy off of him. However, his struggles were in vain and Padfoot continued to slobber all over him.

'Now if this was only the human Sirius using his tongue…" Remus thought sadly, and then literally smacked himself. 'No thoughts of Sirius like that!' he chastised himself.

Padfoot, seeing a disgruntled werewolf underneath him, immediately staggered back and transformed back into human. With a sheepish smile and his hands behind his head, he loftily asked Remus to go to Hogsmeade with him.

Remus blinked. "Hogsmeade? Just the two of us?" he stuttered, which Remus never did. Before, the Marauders always went to Hogsmeade together, under the invisibility cloak of course, but rarely had only two Marauders gone together, alone. 'Sounds like a date.' Remus thought.

"Yeah! Hogsmeade awaits us! I'm in the need for some sweets!" Sirius exclaimed and pulled Remus up out of the chair he was sitting in.

"But… but… I need to study for the Potion Te…" Remus was cut off when Sirius kneeled down and was clutching the hem of his robe, looking much like a peasant groveling towards an aristocrat.

"PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEE!" Sirius whined. He was bored and wanted to go out of Hogwarts, and Hogsmeade was the only option.

"I'll be a good puppy if you take a study break Moony! I'm bored and a bored Sirius is not a good think for the population of Hogwarts!" Sirius complained, knowing that the last comment would help his friend do what he wanted to do.

Remus sighed and knew what Sirius meant by the last words. During their second year, Sirius had complained he was bored. James and Peter were engrossed in a game of chess while he himself was reading a fascinating book. Sirius, seeing that his friends wouldn't help his current state of boredom, went out and wreaked havoc over Hogwarts.

Flash Back

"Well! Since none of you guys are going to cure my boredom, I'll entertain myself!" Sirius screeched at the Marauders, who were all ignoring his rant and were too busy with their own activities. With a huff, Sirius ran out of the Gryffindor common room, cackling evilly.

Two hours later, Remus finally managed to tear himself away from the book and decided to get a snack from the kitchens. Exiting the room, Remus ventured out the common room, but stopped dead in his tracks.

"Sweet Merlin!" Remus gaped, staring at the hallway.

The corridor was painted in numerous of colors, ranging from hot pink to puke green. Hanging off the ceiling were large purple cobwebs with some odd blue stuff dripping down. The floor was covered in an orangish gooish stuff that made Remus slip and fall down. When Remus got up and took a hesitant step down the hall, red and blue glitter rained down from the ceiling onto him. Glitter, ooze, sticky cobwebs, and bluish gunk mixed together turned out to be a messy combination.

"SIRIUS!" Remus screamed, racing down the hall, tripping and sliding here and there. Everywhere he went was a mess. The colors merged in together and the scenery became more sticky and colorful. On the paintings were big black lines and the characters were hiding away, much too cowardly to face the onslaught of colors and mess.

No doubt about it, the whole school was covered and it took days to get rid of.

End Flash Back

Remus paled at the memory.

"Fine, you overgrown puppy!" Remus snapped at his friend. Grinning, Sirius dragged Remus out the room and towards the one eyed statue.

'Where was he?' The dark figure growled. He was near. He could feel him. The fresh tingling sensation of his mate. He felt the slow tantalizing pull of him, drawing him closer and closer.

Stalking down the streets of Hogsmeade, he glanced at the strangers, looking for the amber eyes that haunted him in his sleep.

'He is so close,' he thought, looking at each figure, searching for those eyes. Those beautiful eyes that shone brighter than the moon herself.

He had been searching for him, but he had only been able to feel him once in Hogsmeade. Weeks, or was it days? had passed and he hadn't felt the alluring pull. He had asked around, trying to figure out where his mate had gone off to, and he was informed of the school. The school where his precious mate obviously attended, since he was still so young.

He had tried to get to the school, but a dark forest blocked his path. He had yet to cross it, knowing that some of the dark creatures would fear the greater dark creature, a werewolf, but he knew there were greater, darker things lurking in the forest.

Now his only hope of encountering his mate was if he visited the village again. To his luck, he had felt the pull of his mate creeping closer and closer to the village right this very second!

Glancing around, he realized that his mate wouldn't be in this part of the village. The dark figure was currently occupied in the seediest part of the village, and no doubt that his pure and virginal mate wouldn't set foot here.

He began to walk to the Three Broomsticks, where he had first saw his mate. Maybe his mate would be there…

"I'm cold!" Sirius whined to his equally cold friend. Remus and Sirius were currently walking down the streets of Hogsmeade, and it had begun to snow. They were both bundled up in their large black cloaks and red and yellows scarves, but they were both shivering, especially Remus.

The last full moon wasn't horrible as it could've been, with Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail with him, but transforming into the wolf was an extremely tiring effort. And though the full moon was already four days ago, he still felt tired and weak, and the cold wasn't helping at all. It also didn't help that Remus was beginning to feel weird. At first, he thought it was teenage hormones, but the feeling was almost unnatural, something inhuman, bringing Remus to think it has something to do with being a werewolf.

Remus had went to the library to look up something along the category of werewolf puberty, wondering what the "pulling" feeling, as it felt like, was. However, he found little, if none information about the topic because few werewolves were bitten before puberty.

"What is this feeling?" Remus wondered.

Author's Note: Well, this certainly hasn't been updated in a while! I'm sorry! I'm still shocked at how many reviews this fic is getting. Well, the next chapter will come, so no worries . And it'll probably have Remus finally meeting this mysterious character, or maybe not. Now, I usually would reply to the reviewers, but I'm feeling lazy now. Ciao!
