I own nothing, and yes this chapter is short but I have another idea, so ta ta for now.

Xander sighed as flicked his wand and the spells released the door and room. With a slight grin to Remus he suggested that they haul the other Marauders up so that they could pass judgment. Remus quickly went to go retrieve them, which soon had the door relocked and the Silencing Charm back up. In a much shorter version, for he explained about having picked up on the others knowing Remus's secret, he told them that he was a part werewolf. Or at least the way he figured it, as he usually had control over the wolf. And everything was going okay, that is until Sirius asked about his parents. The tall boy had gone pale, before he decided to let them know the revised version of the truth.

"The Dark Lord killed them. He had me bound and gagged as he murdered my parents and younger sister. My little brother was with his friends and the only reason I made it out alive was because the Headmaster showed up." His blue eyes swirled as he thought of Lily, just realizing her love for James, and James, finally having his love answered. The others wisely remained quiet as he fought to get the anger under control; he really didn't need to be blowing up the common room, much less the entire castle. James was the first to speak up.

"Well, then you'll need a name."

"What! Name? Have you gone around the bend James Potter?" Xander said giving him a look.

"Well, since you'll be joining us on the full moon, and don't give me that look because you will, you are to get a nickname. Now if only we knew what your wolf form looked like." James muttered as he ran a hand through his messy hair.

"Do I not get a say in this? And this bull about me joining you, do know how difficult it is to control two werewolves? Trust me, its not that easy, my friends became Animguses and found out the hard way." Xander smirked at that as he remembered the first night when they had all been together with a certain professor.

FLASHBACK

A large black panther (Hermione) growled softly at the two circling wolves. A slinking fox (Ginny) crouched next to her, as a red shouldered hawk (Ron) sat perched on a tree. Two large Bullmastiffs (the twins) appeared their fiery coats smooth as they both growled a soft warning to the two circling wolves. The two wolves, their amber eyes glowing with agitation, and the two growling, snarling wolves studied their opponent. It wasn't Remus Lupin, no, that werewolf used No. 12 Grimmauld place for his transformations. This werewolf was Ryn Tyler, an old friend that Sirius had met after graduation.

'Harry' leapt at the other wolf, his teeth slashing through the thick fur as they tumbled to the ground. The two dogs leapt forward and pulled the wolves apart as the hawk took flight for help. The panther climbed a tree as the fox whined. They had all hoped that they wouldn't fight too much, but that didn't seem to be happening. The two large dogs growled slowly as they used their bodies to separate the two wolves.

END FLASHBACK

Xander grinned at the memory. He and Ryn usually got along great, but in their wolf forms they were nothing but snarling creatures bent on destroying the other. Not that the others let that happen. That had probably resulted in half of his injuries.

"Two werewolves can be rather rude to one another. I remember my first transformation, Ryn and I almost killed each other." Xander said with a sad smile. "If, however, you really think you can manage it I can show you the wolf. Some friends managed to get rather detailed pictures."

Xander quickly made his way to his trunk, pulling out what looked to be a small black journal. Inside the cover were various pictures of a gigantic, gaunt black wolf with deadlyyellowish-green eyes. He handed the picture to James who carted Sirius off to another bed where they began to throw names out before disregarding it all the same.

"Welcome to being a Marauder Xander." Remus said with a grin. Xander muttered something that sounded like 'lucky me'. Then he had an idea, one that should have occurred to him sooner. He launched himself at his trunk, intent on finding the book that his friends had given him when they found out his secret.

Jerk. Bint. Perve. Gentlemen, let us behave! He started it. Did not.
