          After the afternoon lessons, the group walked with Remus to the Medical Wing. Madame Pomfrey would take him to the Whomping Willow within the hour.

          "See you later Remus," James said, as they all left Remus to go down to the Common Room.

          "Yeah, later," he replied. He just wanted to get this night over with. 'I still remember last time, this isn't going to be fun.'

          "Hey guys, I forgot about something, I'll meet up with you guys later," Gan said.

          "Ok, see ya," Lily said and the rest said similar things in goodbye.

          As soon s they were out of sight, Gan walked all the way to the dungeons and pulled down a candlestick in the middle of the hallway, after making sure no one was around, she walked through the door that had suddenly opened out of nowhere. As soon as she was through the door, it disappeared back into the wall and everything looked normal.

          Gan was hurrying down the hidden stairs, and she was…changing. She was looking much older, her black hair was changing to brown and gray, and her face was wrinkling up. By the time she got to the bottom of the stairs and ended up in a medium-sized room, she no longer looked like Gan.

          "So, you're back again," said a teenage girl who had her hands tied behind a large pole in a corner of the room.

          "Ganymede, shut up or I will put a silencing charm on you. It must be bad enough to know that no one can hear you, but what about not being able to hear yourself?" Ganymede said nothing. "That's better. Now, I just need to refill this, and I will be on my way again."

          "How long do you think you can keep this charade up? My friends are bound to eventually find something different about me." Ganymede finally spoke up.

          "And then I will tell them that 'I am just so terribly worried about my family. With this new dark lord rising, and both my parent being Aurors,'" she took a drink of the potion, and started turning back into Ganymede, "'that I have just been trying so hard to act normal'." By the time she finished her sentence, she had completely changed. "So far, no one has noticed their friend acting remotely different. Although I do believe by the time they do notice, it will be to late to do anything, they wont even understand what's going on, or why their friend is involved. And you know what? They'll turn against you, because they think you betrayed them. When Remus is dead, they will start to put two and two together. They will know you killed him."

          "BUT I WON'T!"

          "Of course you won't," she took another swig of the potion. "But I will, and to them, its one in the same. Go ahead dear, scream and yell you're loudest at this injustice. They will never hear you and it will make you easier to deal with if you tired yourself out. Have a nice night," she said as she shut the door on her prisoner. No sound came through, but she knew her young charge was yelling her loudest.

          Lily was just sitting in the Common Room, staring at the fire, lost in her thoughts. James was sitting next to her on the couch reading his latest copy of "Punishment Potion's Weekly" with an arm around Lily's shoulders.

          "Anyone else notice that Gan has been acting a little off lately?" Lily finally spoke up. James, Sirius, and Peter all looked at her.

          "Well, she has always been a little off her rocker, you know, couple of screws loose, or missing completely," Sirius replied. Everyone was smiling at his remarks, except Lily who again looked thoughtful.

          "Seriously, Sirius. She has been more, I don't know. She acts like herself, but then again she doesn't. It's like she's hiding something, something big. Something she doesn't want us to know about." Everyone was silent at Lily's words, but James finally spoke up.

          "Lil, I think your right. She has been different. She's herself, but then again she isn't." The other two boys just nodded at his reply and looked thoughtful. At that point, someone walked into the Common Room. It was Gan. She looked irratated. Very irratated.

          "Hey Gan, everything alright?" James asked.

          Gan smiled at James and replied, "Just fine, Mr. Potter. Just fine."
