Harry had gone to bed quite a while ago. It was around one in the morning.
Hermione and Ron lay on the floor in front of the fireplace in the
common's room. With them were a dog, a deer, a werewolf, and an owl. The
four animals sat in a semi-circle around an old muggle typewriter.
The paper in the typewriter said:
James: I can't believe that that old cloak could cove the two of us! Lily: Well, I'm just glad it did. Otherwise we would have had to meet in the forest. Sirius: Yuck.
Hermione looked out the window. The high wind sent sheets of rain against the glass. "Anyway we need to get to business," said Hermione, "Dumbledore has put us in charge of helping you get your forms back."
"Can you think of anyway to save Snape's life without us getting caught?" asked Ron.
The typewriter started again.
Lily: No, everything is too dangerous. I don't want you in harms way. James: I wonder if old Snivelus has learned to swim yet. Sirius: Remember that night he landed in the lake. James: And the giant squid almost got him. Remus: He'd already be dead if Dumbledore hadn't levitated him out.
"That's it," said Ron, "We'll knock him into the lake and you can get him out."
Lily: One problem. He won't go near the lake now. James: Maybe if a werewolf was chasing him he would
"Alright," said Ron, "Tomorrow night is the full moon. Nothing will be too strange about a werewolf on a night with a full moon."
The next night Ron and Hermione waited in the bushes near the lake. They had been there for a few minutes when they heard screaming. Snape came running across the grounds with a werewolf right behind him. As he neared the lake he tried to change his path, but before he could a dog jumped in front of him. He was cornered. There was no where for him to go but into the lake. He slowly backed up and soon was in the water. He kept backing.
Then suddenly he tripped and fell. A deer came running from a bunch of trees. It and the dog quickly jumped into the water and pulled the Potions master to the shore.
"Done," shouted James, "We have saved his life!"
He and Sirius started running around.
"Wait you guys," said Lily, "Shouldn't you be back in your human form?"
They stopped running and looked at themselves. "What went wrong?" asked James.
Then they heard someone clapping. They turned to find Death standing there. "Good show," she said.
"Then why are we not human," growled Sirius.
"Because," she said, "His life was not in danger. Ron and Hermione would have got him out if you wouldn't have been there. Besides, you can not claim that you saved someone's life when you are the reason they are in danger."
The four of them glared at her. "Better luck next time," she said before disappearing.
They turned their attention back to Snape. He had discovered Ron and Hermione. "One hundred points from Gryffindor," he yelled angrily, "Come to the headmaster's office!"
When they entered the office Dumbledore was at his desk.
"These students tried to kill me," shouted Snape as he entered the room.
"Come now, Severous, I saw the whole thing," said Dumbledore, "The werewolf was the only one who tried to attack you. They were simply out of bed after hours."
"They should be expelled!" shouted Snape.
"You can't expel students for being out of bed after hours," said Dumbledore, "Now all of you need your rest. Back to bed."
With that the two students and professor left the room. Snape glared at the two of them before heading to his dungeons.
When Ron returned to his room he found Harry sitting next to the window. "How could you?" Harry asked.
"What?" Ron asked.
"You and Hermione are taking this joke too far," said Harry, "You're prefects. You should know better. Thanks to you our house just lost one hundred points for a stupid joke."
"I'm sorry mate," said Ron, "but, it really is them."
Harry rolled his eyes and returned to his four poster bed.
Ok. I know I haven't replied to your reviews in quite a while. I'm going to start again, but I'm only going to respond to the well written ones (ex: constructful criticism, questions)
Eric2- no I don't believe that, but the fun of writing fiction is that you don't have to believe everything you write. You just have to make it sound possible.
Mini Padfoot- I'm not sure, but it may have something to do with the fact that pets can not tell anyone your secret and never laugh at you.
Thanks to everyone else who reviewed.
