A/N - And without further ado, I present, the next chapter in Wolf's Bane. Enjoy.

MARAUDER'S GONE WILD!!!

The next morning at breakfast, the Marauders and the two girls were sitting at the Gryffindor table waiting for the prank fest to begin. Lily was slightly peeved with Sirius and Peter since she had caught them in the Hufflepuff dormitories the night before. They had been walking up the stairs into the boys dorm and Lily and seen the back of Peter's leg as they went up the stairs. Since Sirius was so much taller, Peter's leg had been protruding out from under the cloak. She had immediately pulled James out of the Common Room and chewed him out about the boys being in the other House Common Rooms. James had played stupid, not wanting to get on her bad side. But it had no point in it. After they had went back to the Gryffindor Common Room later on, Lily pulled James up to the dorms where Sirius and Peter were, along with Remus, and chewed the whole lot out for sneaking out of the Common Rooms after curfew. After Remus had proclaimed his innocence in the matter, Lily allowed him to put a silencing spell around his bed and go back to sleep. He had pulled his curtains shut with a grin and winked at the other three boys in the room, who only grimaced and flipped him off. Lily didn't need to know that he and Sable had pranked the Slytherin dorms. She would find out soon enough. So, at the time being, Lily was only speaking to Remus and Sable, and pointedly ignoring the rest of the boys.

When the whole of Slytherin House was seated at the table for breakfast, as well as the other houses, James asked Lily to come with him so they could talk. Lily, expecting an explanation got up to leave with her boyfriend. Sirius and Remus looked on with excited eyes as the two Head students left the Hall.

"You guys ready?" Sirius asked wickedly.

"After you, Pads." Remus said.

"Now, gentlemen." Peter said wickedly, "You know ladies go first." He looked over at Sable and grinned. She smiled and pulled her wand out of her robes.

"Thank you, Peter." she said sweetly. "I'm glad someone has remembered their manners around a lady." Sirius snickered and shook his head.

"Who said you were a lady?" he scoffed. Sable looked a little confused, but said nothing.

"This, my friends, is why it is never good to get on my bad side." she said evilly. She pointed her wand over to the Slytherin tables and whispered an incantation. The boys watched as Cody Flint began to stiffen up, like a cement statue. He was in the process of putting his fork in his mouth when he froze solid. He seemed to by completely stuck in the position he was in. The other students looked on with confusion, but Sable muttered another incantation and their voices began to waiver into other octaves and pitches. She smiled as Vedreene, Marks, Bellos, and Cunninghams' voices began to raise up about three octaves higher than normal. Even across the hum-drum of the Great Hall she could pick up on the higher pitched voices that matched the Ravenclaw's ghost, the Grey Lady. She smiled and giggled. Not only was Flint stuck in the last position he had taken, but so was the majority of the Slytherin Quidditch team. The Slytherin Quidditch Captain was trying to worm around the seat. The itching potion had taken affect.

By now, the entire Slytherin table was in an uproar. Sable quickly said the last of her incantations, and a girl's scream could be heard across the Hall. The boys looked down the row of students and saw a very sticky, very mad, very FURRY, Sedera Walsh. The girl had grown humongous elephant ears and was covered in a bright, red fur that covered every inch of her skin. Her cloak had been charmed to flash the Gryffindor House colors, and her hair was full of Permanent Sticky-Goo, making it stand out on end. Sable laughed and almost fell out of her chair. The boys were shocked and soon joined in the laughing.

"You guys had better activate your charms soon," she muttered, "McGonagall is already on her way down." The boys looked up and saw that the deputy headmistress was indeed threading her way through the throng of students and to the head of the Gryffindor table where they sat. The boys nodded and waited until another of Sedera's cries pierced the racket to activate their own charms. Instantly, the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw Quidditch teams were frozen in place by the Permanent Sticky Goo. The altered voices were quite hilarious. The boys were yelling with the high voices of the ladies, and the girls were sounding like that had taken an overly large dose of testosterone. The other houses immediately noticed what had happened to their members and turned to face the Gryffindor tables, where no one was altered from their normal appearance.

"PETTIGREW! LUPIN! POTTER! BLACK!!!! YOUR GOING TO REGRET THIS WHEN WE GO AGAINST YOU NEXT WEEK!!!! YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP NOW, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO POUND YOU INTO THE GROUND!!!!!" yelled a very angry Slytherin. Sable looked hurt and pouted.

"What about me?" she asked, "I helped with the prank. I feel left out."

"It's alright, Sable." Sirius reassured. "We'll give you credit when it's due to you." Sable smiled and nodded..

"Oh, by the way," Peter said, "You had nothing to do with these pranks last night as far as we're concerned." Sable shrugged her shoulders.

"That's fine," she said, "I've had my fun. Now you guys can take the rap for it." The boys rolled their eyes and searched around for their head of house; they didn't have to look far.

By now, Professor McGonagall had reached the head of the table where they were sitting. She did not look like a happy lady. She strode up to the snickering students and glared at them, however, her glare was not directed in Sable's immediate direction.

"I want all of you to come with me." she said sternly, "This instant!"

"But....Professor...." Sirius began to plead.

"Hush it, Black!" she snorted. "Where's Potter and Lily?"

"Um, Professor," Sable said quietly, "James and Lily left just a little while ago. I think they were fighting and they decided to talk it through before classes started today." Professor McGonagall's eyes seemed to soften at the girl's voice.

"Will you please go find them for me, Ms. Robbins." Sable nodded and stood from her seat. "Tell them that I require Mr. Potter's presence in my office immediately. They can settle their dispute at another time."

"Yes, professor." she said, rising from the table. She walked a few steps away and turned back to look over the hall. It was in total chaos. The only other people who were seemingly calm were Arabella Figg and Amanda Keiss, the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Prefects. Everyone else was either laughing their heads off yelling at the top of their lungs. She glanced back at the Gryffindor table were McGonagall was laying into the boys with unleashed anger. Peter was cringing in fright, Remus was trying to hold back a smile, and Sirius was acting like he was spacing out on her. She caught Remus' eye and she smiled at him. His reservation broke and he cracked a smile. The next thing she heard was McGonagall's voice over the din of the crowd.

"IS THERE SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS SITUATION, MR. LUPIN??!!" she bellowed. Remus snapped back to attention and shook his head. Sable smiled and went out of the Hall, searching for the voice of an angry Lily.

She walked down the corridor closest to the Great Hall and heard the thud of something hitting a wall when she passed a door. 'I sure hope that wasn't James' dead body hitting the wall.' she thought. She stopped and opened the door, expecting to see the comatose body of James Potter on the floor. Instead, she found the two Head students snogging each other senseless against the wall. Sable wanted to laugh, but she decided that McGonagall would be even less happier to find the two Heads in this sort of compromising situation. She cleared her throat and they jumped apart, faces flushed and hands straightening out their clothes.

"Um, I hate to break up your little make up snog," she said with a grin, "But, uh, Drill Sergeant McGonagall is on the warpath at the moment. And, um, Private Potter,.......... your dead. Along with the others." James shrugged and gave Lily a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving the classroom with a sigh.

"Thanks, Sable, for ruining the best morning I've had in a while." he muttered, walking out of the door.

"Um, James." Sable said, beginning to grin like a cat. "I don't think you want to walk into McGonagall's office with Lily's lipstick on your face, do you?" James colored slightly and used the hem of his robe to wipe off his face, efficiently getting rid of the tell-tale marks. He muttered a his thanks and walked out of the door. Sable turned to the flustered Head Girl and grinned.

"You guys still fighting?" she asked with a smile. Lily blushed again and shook her head. "I didn't think so." Lily let a little smile go and began to straighten out her rumpled clothing.

"Is McGonagall really mad?" she asked.

"Mad enough to yell at the others in front of the entire Hall." she said. Lily looked surprised.

"She never admonishes the students in front of their peers." Lily said quickly.

"Well, she did this time." Sable said.

"I told James time and time again." she said. "No more pranks. But does he listen?"

"Does any male of this species listen to us?" Sable asked rhetorically. Lily thought for a second then nodded.

"Good point." she conceded.

"Besides, Lily, James didn't do the prank. He was with you last night, looking for my journal. He didn't have time to do anything." Lily looked thoughtful, then suspicious.

"How'd you know that?" she asked. Sable thought quick and came up with the best thing she could.

"Remus told me that you woke them all up last night, yelling at everyone but him." She said quickly. Lily looked scandalized and nodded.

"Yeah, I got a little out of hand." she admitted. " As James so quickly pointed out to me."

"I think he was getting his point across rather well, don't you?" she teased.

"I just don't want him to loose his Head Boy badge because of some childish prank." Lily said.

"Look, don't worry about it." Sable said. "Remember what happened last time? McGonagall actually praised them for the prank." Lily smiled and adjusted her bag.

"I remember." she said. "Well, there's nothing we can do for them right now. Let's get to class before we're late." Sable grinned and summoned her bag from the Great Hall with her wand. The two girls walked down the hallway and to their first class, even though they knew it would begin late because of the commotion in the Great Hall.

****Later that same day****

Sable looked up from the table she was sitting at to see two different girls approaching her, Arabella Figg and Amanda Keiss. They didn't look to upset, considering the mornings events. When they got to Sable, they smiled at each other and waved.

"Arabella, Amanda, how are you guys?" Sable asked. The girls smiled and nodded.

"Alright." Amanda said.

"I'm fine." Arabella answered happily.

"Is there something I can do for you guys?" she asked nervously. She didn't want them to know she was the one who had helped with the prank earlier.

"Actually, I think you can." Amanda said. "I'm looking for Peter. Have you seen him?" Sable frowned and shook her head.

"Um, I think that he and the other boys were sentenced to death by cleaning by Professor McGonagall for the prank they pulled this morning." she said. "Remus told me they had to scrub the Slytherin dungeons with toothbrushes for a week, no magic." The other two girls paled and grimaced.

"Why don't ya'll have a seat," Sable said. "I could use some company over here." They pulled out the bench and sat down.

"You mean to tell me that Black's got himself another detention?" Arabella asked.

"I'm afraid so." Sable said. "What's the count now?"

"One thousand one hundred and thirty-two, I think." Amanda said.

"Thirty-four, actually." Arabella corrected her. "Sirius keeps it all wrote down for himself to remember. I think he's going for the school record of detentions by one student."

"Well, I think he's accomplished it." Sable said. Arabella nodded and Amanda nodded. "Did you guys want me to give them a message when I see them tonight, if I see them tonight?" she asked.

"Actually, will you give Peter a note for me?" Amanda asked shyly.

"Sure, no problem." Sable said. Amanda nodded and quickly wrote down a note on a piece of parchment. She handed it to Sable and smiled.

"Thanks, Sable." she said. "I've got to go, my next class starts in a few minutes. I'll see you guys later." The girl smiled and walked out of the Hall rather quickly.

"Later."

"Bye, Amanda."

Sable looked over at Arabella and shrugged.

"I wonder what she wanted with Peter?" Sable asked.

"I have a feeling it's the same thing I want with Sirius." she said with a smile.

"I don't get it."

"Look at this." Arabella handed the other girl a piece of folded up parchment. She opened it and recognized Sirius' handwriting. Sable tried to hold in a laugh as she read the note through. 'Talk about Sirius at his most egotistical, self-centered, and chauvinistic.' she thought.

Bella,

I was thinking that I would offer you a once in a life-time opportunity that any other female in this school would die for. I'm only doing this because I know how picky you are, and it's for your own good (as well as the general health of the Hogwarts' population.). How about you and me going to the Halloween Ball together. It's going to be a riot, pranks galore!!! Besides, I need to make sure that no one else spikes the punch.............Well, besides ME that is. And I know you were thinking about it, don't deny it. I know how that little brain of yours works. It's too much like mine, and that's why I need to keep an eye on you all night. If that punch gets too loaded, no one is going to make it to their dorms that night. What do you think? Want to go on the arm of the best looking guy at Hogwarts? It's a chance you'll never get again. And I can guarantee it will be for your own, personal worthwhile.

Sirius

She looked up at Arabella and smiled.

"Well, that's one way of asking you to the Halloween Ball." she said with a grin. Arabella grimaced and took the note back.

"Have you ever met a more self-centered prat?" she asked.

"Um, come to think of it............no." Sable said with a smile. Arabella grinned and looked back down at the note. Sable noticed the look of indecision and closed her book softly. "Do you want to go with him?" she asked. Arabella grinned.

"Yeah, I think I do." she said. "It'll be loads of fun. Sirius and I always have fun when we're together."

"Then go, already. I know for a fact that he's turned down every one of the Gryffindor girls who've asked him. He even turned down all the others." She said.

"You're kidding me?" Arabella asked.

"Nope. I was sitting there when he did it, half the time." Sable said.

"I think I'll talk to him later." she said. "Lay down some ground rules." Sable smiled and began to laugh.

"You know, next to me and Lily, you're the only other girl he will listen actually take seriously at times. No pun intended." she said with a grimace.

"Really?" Arabella asked. Sable nodded and smiled.

"Really. I think it would be good for you guys to go together. Besides, I've heard that you've turned down a fair share of guys who have asked you to go." Arabella colored slightly, but said nothing. "Were you waiting for one person to ask you?" It was obvious that Arabella and Sirius were good friends, but Sirius' actions as of lately had changed when he was around her. Sable had thought he liked the Ravenclaw, but she wasn't sure. Now, Arabella's reaction to her accusation put a lid on the case.

"Not really," she said, "I just didn't like the guys who were asking me."

"Liar," Sable taunted, "You were waiting to see if Sirius would ask you. Go ahead, admit it. You know I'm right."

"I was not." Arabella said firmly. Sable chuckled and shook her head.

"Yes, you were, whether you want to admit it or not." Sable said.

"Well, who are you going with?" Arabella asked quickly, trying to change the subject.

"Remus." Sable said easily. Arabella frowned.

"I thought you two were fighting." she said.

"We straightened that mess out." she said. "And the guilty party paid her dues this morning." Arabella looked a little skeptical.

"So you're the one that turned Slytherin's bitch into a red haired elephant?" she laughed. Sable nodded. "We had a bet going on that it was Remus, no one expected you."

"Don't tell anyone about it. The boys are basking in their glory right now." she smiled.

"Are you and Remus together or something?" Arabella asked. Sable tried to hid the color that was rising in her face.

"No we're not. We're just going to the ball as friends." She said. Arabella looked skeptical, but said nothing.

"Well, I hope Peter was asking Amanda." Arabella said, "I'd hate for him to be the only one without a date.

"I'm sure that's what it was about." Sable said. "She was holding a piece of parchment in her hand when she walked over." Arabella nodded and glanced up at the clock on the wall.

"I've got to go, Sable, but tell Sirius I'll be where we usually meet tonight if he wants to talk to me." Sable looked puzzled, but said nothing.

"Okay. I'll be sure to tell him for you."

"Thanks a load." Arabella said, standing from the bench and going out of the doorway of the Great Hall. Sable shook her head as she watched the girl leave. 'Sirius must really like her if he lost his nerve to talk to her.' she thought, 'Usually, when he goes after a girl, you can't shut him up. But then again, I don't think he's chased any of the girls since school started. Wonder what happened to him over the summer?' Sable shook her head, remembering the story Lily had told her about Arabella spending a week of the summer break at Sirius' house babysitting his little brother while his parents were gone out of town. 'Wonder what happened then??' she grinned.

****That Night in the Gryffindor Common Room****

Sable and Lily were sitting in front of the fireplace doing homework when a very excited Sirius bound through the portrait hole. Sable looked over at Lily, who only shrugged her shoulders. Sirius nearly ran over a few of the younger years in an attempt to get to the girls. He bodily pushed a fourth year out of the way, and ran over one of Gryffindor's Quidditch Chaser's, Michael Bell.

"Sirius, is something on fire?" Sable asked cautiously. The black haired boy shook his head and smiled like a mad man.

"Where's James?" he panted. "I need to find James."

"He left to go down to the Pitch a few minutes after you left to go see Arabella." Lily said. "Is something wrong?" Sirius shook his head and yelped.

"No, nothing's wrong." he said, turning around quickly. He ran out of the portrait hole and quickly slammed it shut behind him. Sable grinned at his retreating figure.

"What was that all about?" Lily asked. "I haven't seen him that excited since James became the Quidditch captain last year." Sable smiled and nodded.

"I think it's because Padsy has found a date for the Halloween Ball." Sable said. Lily looked surprised.

"Who?"

"Guess." Sable said. Lily seemed to concentrate hard for a moment.

"Michelle Polk?"

"Nope."

"Samantha Davis?"

"Nope."

" Priscilla Copieer?"

"GOD, NO!!" Sable shrieked.

"Well who is it then.?" Sable smiled and looked over at the Head Girl.

"Arabella Figg." she said.

"Bella??" Lily asked. "You're kidding me." Sable shook her head and related the whole secret note passage during the fracas in the Great Hall this morning. She also told her about Peter asking Amanda Keiss.

"Do you think Amanda accepted?" Lily asked. About that time, the portrait hole opened up to reveal a very fluster, but happy Peter Pettigrew. The blond boy took no notice of his surroundings as he happily climbed up the stairs with a goofy grin plastered on his face. Sable looked over at lily and snickered.

"I do believe she did, Lily." she said happily. "I do believe she did."

The two dateless Marauders were dateless no longer! Arabella had accepted Sirius' invitation to go as his date, as had Amanda by Peter's. The two boys were in a good mood all weekend long. Lily, James, Sirius, Peter, Remus, and Sable spent the weekend catching up on any last minute homework they hadn't done. It would be time for them to take the N.E.W.T.S. at the end of the year, and Lily suddenly seemed to think that they needed to spend as much time as possible doing homework. Sable quickly became tired of the 'all work and no play' attitude that Lily had adopted, and she wasn't the only one. After telling the girl that she had some important business to attend to in her room, Sable was able to get away from the vicious cycle of studying Lily had implemented on her and the boys. It was not long after she left the Gryffindor Common Room that she heard a knock at the portrait hole in her bedroom. She undid the locking charm and Remus stepped out of the hole. Sable smiled and nodded.

"You decided to give up on the studying, too?" she asked. Remus nodded and grimaced.

"I think Lils has lost her mind!!" he said. "We never study that much! It's against our religion!" Sable grinned and sat down at a desk she had transfigured from a spare chair she had found in one of the storage supply closets. Remus flopped down into another chair and looked up at his friend.

"So, now that we've escaped Lily, what can we do for the rest of this lovely evening?" he asked.

"Don't know." she said. "You have any ideas?" Remus grinned and nodded.

"Actually, I had our next prank in mind, and I wanted to hear what you had to say about it." he said. " I couldn't talk to the boys about it because Lily was sitting right there, but I think they will like it."

"Who's the target this time?"

"Who else?" Remus asked.

"Slytherins?" Sable muttered. "I should have known." She turned and looked over at him with a grin. "What's the plan?"

"Well, the boys and I were thinking about pranking them Friday the night of the Quidditch match. They are already going to get whipped in the game, so I thought they should get a sort of .............consolation prize............... from the winning team." he said. Sable smiled and pulled out a notebook and a quill.

"Well, thank you, mastermind of the Marauder's pranking ability.." she said with a smile. " Anyway, I had forgotten about the match. But I do like the idea of giving them a surprise present aster the game. It might bring them some good morale after such a horrid defeat." She snickered and looked over at Remus, who was smiling also.

"I knew I picked the right person to talk to." he said. Sable smiled and they got down to the nitty-gritty of planning the Marauder's next prank.

The rest of the week passed quickly. As the weekend drew nearer, the tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin began to grow. The inter-house rivalry was getting completely out of hand, especially after Flint tried to hex Sirius behind his back after one of the classes they shared. Because of all the commotion, Remus had taken to studying down in Sable's lab while she worked on her various projects. It actually helped since the Common Room was usually now housing rowdy groups of Quidditch fans from the end of classes until it was curfew. The loud noises and chit-chat made it impossible to study in there. The library was not much better, and Pince would make enough trouble on her own. So the only place Remus had left to study was with Sable.

The game was only two days before November's full moon, so Remus fought the whole time he was within a mile range of Sable to keep his cool and not let the animal instincts that were beginning to emerge take over. The night before the game, Remus found Sable hunched over a rather thick book. When he entered into her room, she casually shut the book and replaced it on the shelves. He said nothing, but noticed that she didn't seem normal. Luckily for them, the Professors were gracious enough not to assign any extra homework over the weekend due to the Quidditch game on Saturday.

That evening, after Sable had finished helping him with a particularly rough potion, they worked to translate a few ore chapters in the Celtic potions book. While they worked, they exchange stories about their separate years at different schools. Surprisingly enough, Sable found out that Remus had been a Prefect the year before, but had turned down the appointment this year due to the growing severity of the lunar changes. Remus in turn, found out that Sable's parents were working to find who was responsible for the random attacks that had been going on. However, he was shocked to find that it had been a while since she had lat heard from them. On and on the stories went, and by dinner time, the two teens were getting moody. The coming full moon was starting to affect the both of them. Soon enough, they would probably be at each other's throats because of the shortened nerve span. 'Maybe we won't try to kill each other.' she though as she shut the portrait hole behind her. 'Then again, this is me and Remus we're talking about here. There's no way we'll be able to stay calm for the next three days.' She threw her books carelessly to one side and jumped on her bed, willing herself to succumb to the deep slumber that threatened to over take her senses.

A/N - Hey everyone. How are ya'll doing? Good I hope. Anyway, how'd this chappy sound? Good I hope. I know it's a little short, so that's why I'm going to post one more for all of you guys. Remember to leave me a review and tell me what you think. Later.

A/N - I know, I know. There are very few people who actually like Peter , and probably wish he would just keel over. But I couldn't help it. I hate it when someone has to go to a school dance by themselves. It's just lonely when you're by yourself and all your friends are with their 'significant others' (I should know. I didn't even have a date for my junior and senior prom, and it sucked!!) Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. Leave me a review and tell me what you think. Later.
