CHAPTER THREE-THE NOTE

The flash vanished. I was outside kneeling on the grass. Lily's concerned face appeared before mine.

"What happened?" she demanded.

"I had another one of my wacko visions," I snapped.

"Seriously?" she asked.

I nodded.

"What happened?" she demanded.

"I heard a girl's voice in my head say 'I'm coming real soon'. It sounded like the same girl in the vision I had on the train," I replied as she helped me get to my feet.

"Come on," Lily said as she helped me back to the castle.

Remus had his arms cross on the table and his head was buried in them. Sirius was rubbing Remus' elbow comfortingly. I think Remus was crying.

"She had another vision," Lily informed them.

Sirius raised his eyes to mine.

"What happened in this one?" he asked.

"I heard a girl's voice say 'I'm coming real soon'. It sounded like the girl in my first vision," I replied sitting down beside Remus.

Remus raised his head and his eyes to mine.

They were blood shot and puffy.

"Are you sure?" he asked clearing his throat.

I nodded.

Immediately, guilt flooded over me. I didn't mean to hurt him at all.

"I'm so sorry," I said as tears flooded my eyes. "I should've never acted like that and I know you were just concerned for me."

Remus threw his arms around my neck and pulled me close. I wrapped my arms around him also and our chins rested on one another's shoulders.

"Hillary, I just love you to death. I would never think you're crazy okay? I just want to make sure that everything is okay and it's not bothering you at all," Remus said burying his face into my hair.

"What's not bothering me?" I asked as we pulled back from the embrace.

Remus looked at me meaningfully. "Being one of my kind,"

I smiled. "Absolutely not,"

Relief flooded over his face. "What about what's going on with you and your dad?"

I also began feeling awful for the way I've been treating Dad. I think I was just angry at Mom for what happened and the fact that she tried to kill me.

"I'm going to send him an owl to apologize for behaving like I was," I said gently. "I know it wasn't his fault. I was just in shock and I was angry at my mother that I was taking it out on everyone else."

Lily grinned.

Remus put a hand on the side of my face and stroked my cheek with his thumb.

The owl post arrived.

My new owl, Fran, landed easily on my shoulder.

"Fran? I need you to take this to dad okay?" I said as I reached into my bag and pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill and an ink bottle. I began writing the apology letter to Dad.

Once I was done, I folded it up and tied it to Fran's leg. She spread her wings and then soared gracefully back out the window.

"Well, let's hope this year is a good one huh?" Sirius said grinning also.

We all agreed and then the bell rang, ending breakfast.

We first headed to Potions class. Professor Kendal was teaching us the Lonstreat Potion which was used to mend internal injuries.

Lily and I were sitting in front of Remus and Sirius.

We began copying down all the ingredients on the board and then began adding them into the potion.

It should be a light brown color and smell like chocolate.

"I feel so bad that I hurt Remus," I said adding a bat wing to the potion.

"I know," Lily said softly and gently. "But I know he forgives you. He's just worried about you and so am I. Sirius too."

I smiled at her.

"I know. You are the best friends I've ever had,"

Lily winked and grinned.

About an hour later, I felt a strange sensation. It felt like water was spilled on my skirt.

I scooted my chair back a few inches. There was blood all on the front of my skirt and it was running down my thighs.

"Lily," I whispered terrified.

"Shit," Lily said quickly jumping to her feet. "Professor? I really need to take Hillary to Madam Elkin."

Lily quickly grabbed my arm and helped me to my feet.

Remus and Sirius jumped to their feet as well.

"Good Lord," Professor Kendal said. "Go right away."

The rest of the Gryffindors were watching with pure fear and concern as Lily was on my left and Remus on my right.

Sirius grabbed all of our belongings and fled after us.

Lily laid me down on one of the cots as Madam Elkin checked me over.

"What's wrong?" Sirius asked concerned.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it's her time of the month," Madam Elkin said.

"I'm not hearing this," Sirius said clamping his hands over his ears and began walking around the hospital wing like that humming.

"Grow up," Remus said rolling his eyes.

"But like this?" Lily asked as fear was still visible in her eyes and expression.

"Well, it seems to me like she's in heat but she's a human girl," Madam Elkin said scratching her head. "I'll give her a Woknit Potion. I'll be right back."

A Woknit Potion slows the bleeding down and any 'pain'.

Once Madam Elkin was gone, Lily turned to Remus.

"What's going on?" she hissed to him.

"Madam Elkin's right," Remus replied swallowing. "This is her first 'time' as a werewolf. It's just like real wolves in the wild and it's also part of her transformation."

I propped myself up onto my elbows.

Truthfully, I felt excited and aroused.

I just flopped back onto the cot and stared up and the ceiling.

Sirius was still humming.

Lily irritably walked over to him and yanked his hands away from his ears.

"Please be a bit mature," she said. "Although asking you to be mature is like asking a cat not to lick itself."

"Hey," Sirius said. "I lick myself."

I burst out laughing. Remus did too.

Madam Elkin came back with the potion and I drank it. She got me a clean pair of underwear and a skirt. Lily helped me change.

Once I was done, we left the hospital wing.

"How are you feeling now?" Remus asked.

"Like I want to tear into something," I muttered.

"It will pass. Once your body gets used to the whole new way of life, you won't hardly have those feelings anymore," Remus said.

"How'd you cope with it?" I asked.

"It was hard but I had Sirius and James and Peter to help," Remus replied.

"Well, I have you and Sirius now," I said grinning.

We stopped in the common room for a bit before the next class.

"Are you feeling up to going to class?" Sirius asked.

"Actually, no," I admitted. "I just want to lye here and take a nap."

"I'm staying with her," Remus said automatically. "Tell Professor Xander that Hillary is sick and I'm taking care of her."

Lily and Sirius nodded before they hurried out of the common room.

REMUS.

Hillary laid back on the couch and closed her eyes.

I could smell her scent and it was taking all of my power to stay focused.

About twenty minutes later, Hillary woke up. Her eyes had a jaundice arc around her pupils. She grinned and sat up. Her canines were a bit longer than normal too.

"Hey Remy," she purred as she began crawling toward me.

"Hillary? Please control it," I pleaded as I jumped to my feet and began backing away from her.

"Don't you love me?" Hillary asked in a sing song voice.

"Of course," I said swallowing.

Hillary pounced on me, knocking me onto my back on the floor. She hovered above me.

"I smell your nervousness," Hillary said keeping her face close to mine. "Why are you so nervous?"

"Just try to control your feelings," I said.

Finally, Hillary shut her eyes and then re-opened them. The jaundice arc was gone and her canines were normal length now.

She gasped and sat beside me.

"What's going on? I wanted to…," her voice trailed off. "You know with you."

"It's normal," I replied also getting up. "Try to control it when you feel it coming on. Try to think of Sirius wearing a woman's dress."

Hillary burst out laughing. "That's so unattractive anyway,"

I grinned and we sat back down on the couch.

HILLARY.

"I feel so embarrassed," I muttered.

"Why?" Remus asked putting his face close to mine, and then pulled back a bit.

"Because of how I just acted now," I said. "I'm not used to those kind of feelings."

Remus smiled.

"I know," he said softly. "But you're a growing woman now with a different type of bloodline. You're bound to get new and strange feelings with that territory."

I nodded.

"So you saw us married?" I asked.

Remus nodded.

"Yeah. I saw you in a wedding dress and me in a tuxedo and we exchanged rings. Then I saw a little girl but I knew there was something wrong with her but I couldn't put my finger on what exactly,"

"Could she have been a werewolf too?" I suggested.

Realization dawned on Remus' face.

"Right…someone could've passed it on to her," he said slowly. "But I still got this unnerving feeling about her and I don't think it was the werewolf part."

We fell silent.

I just snuggled against Remus' arm.

"You really should go to class," I said.

"I want to stay here," he said.

"I'm fine…really," I said softly.

"Sure?" Remus asked.

I nodded.

He nodded and got up. He left the common room.

I laid back on the couch and dozed off for a bit.

About a half an hour later, I awoke to a strange sensation like I was being watched. I snapped awake, only to find the common room completely empty still. I checked my watch. Classes would be over in about 10 minutes.

I decided to catch up on my spells. I pulled out a piece of parchment and quill and began studying the spells from yesterday's class.

A folded up piece of parchment fell out of my bag when I reached in for the quill.

I picked it up and unfolded it. I began reading. It was in neat script:

Dear Hillary and Remus,

I hope you are happily married now. But I must warn you, I'm not who you think I am when I'm 12. Once I hit 16, things will become much, much worse and you have to get rid of me as soon as possible. I will be visiting shortly.

Brittany L.

I froze. 'I will be here shortly' sounded exactly like the voice in my premonition I had. But I didn't understand the rest of it when it mentioned the part about 'I'm not who you think I am'…and who was Brittany L.?

I heard Remus and Sirius' laughter coming closer. The portrait hole opened up and the rest of the Gryffindors entered laughing and talking.

Lily followed shortly.

"Hey," Lily said brightly. "How are you feeling?"

"Better," I said smiling. "Look what I found in my bag."

I handed her the note.

Lily scanned it and then passed it to Sirius.

He read it and finally passed it to Remus.

"Where'd this come from?" Remus asked raising his eyes to mine.

"I have no idea," I said earnestly. "I found it folded in my bag."

"Who on earth is Brittany?" Lily mused.

"Dunno," Sirius said. "There's no one named Brittany in Gryffindor. Maybe in Slytherin or Ravenclaw? Hufflepuffs a sure bet too…they've got Bens, Bethany's and even a Bongo!"

Lily laughed and rolled her eyes.

"It sounds like a warning though," Remus said scanning the note again. "Like someone is warning us."

"But who?" Sirius said. "You two aren't even married yet."

"I don't know," Remus said. "But Hillary? If you find anymore notes like these, please give them to me. I'll have to take them to the headmaster."

I nodded.

"You got it,"

"So, did you find anyone to take to the Valentine's Day dance?" Lily asked turning to Sirius. "A girl? Or a guy?"

She added with a grin.

"I'm thinking more along the lines of a girl," Sirius said. "Robin."

"Ah…have you actually asked her?" Remus asked grinning.

"Close," Sirius admitted. "But then I think I crapped my pants and had to leave."

We all rolled with laughter.

"I think you should start wearing diapers, Sirius," I joked.

"Right, but then who would change me? Not you or Lily," he said.

"Dam right," Lily said. "You can lie in your own poop."

Sirius leaned forward.

"See the good thing about that is that it pushes it back up,"

"GROSS!" Lily cried throwing her hands up. "WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS STUFF?"

Sirius grinned.

"I got her,"

Remus and I snorted with laughter.

Then, my laughter cut short.

I suddenly remembered the name Brittany.

"What is it?" Remus asked as he also stopped laughing.

Lily and Sirius were watching us as well.

"I know where that name came from," I said slowly.

"Where?"

"That was the name I dreamed of that was the name of our daughter,"
