BlackLupin-
Thanks so much! Your encouragement is what has really kept me going. I thought
continuing with this story was stupid; cuz I thought
this story was dumb. But ok, you've convinced me. Thanks for sticking by me.

5 reviews in order to upload a new chapter. But no one was reviewing (except
the above), so I decided to give you another chapter to keep you happy. Reviews
with any comments are accepted, even sigh...flames. But they're not
recommended giggle If you want another chapter in the future, and it's not
uploading, you know why. wink SO, review, review, review!
To Be Young Again
Chapter 3: The Anonymous Note
"Okay, now," said Remus to his owl. "Go find James, and don't get back until
you have a reply." (A/N: Sound familiar? I won't have this
owl peck poor James to death, though. grins)
The
note attached to the large, coffee-colored owl read:
James-
Why haven't you been answering
my letters, mate? I'm starting to worry. You're alright, aren't you?
-Remus
Remus sighed as he re-read the note. Of course, he thought bitterly, nothing could be wrong with the great James Potter, he thought sarcastically.
He gave the owl an Owl Treat (made by the famous makers of "Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans") and watched it soar out the window until it was out of sight.
Remus sighed again. The full moon was approaching, and he was
exhausted. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-
Tap. Tap. Tap. RAP.
"Huh? No, don't..." Remus' eyes opened with a jolt. He let out a sigh of relief. It was just the owl rapping on the window.
That's when he noticed the deep gash on the bird's right wing. Remus hurried to the window, thrust it open, and gently brought the large bird inside.
He set the coffee-colored owl in its cage and detached the note from its leg.
The color left Remus'
face as he read the note. It was not James' handwriting. But aside from that,
it was the words that caught Remus' eye:
You have just given away the
whereabouts of James Potter. You cannot do anything to save him. His luck has
run out.
The not was not signed, and it was obviously not from James. Remus did not know how to contact James without the use of an owl. He would just have to hope that James would be safe until they got to King's Cross Station tomorrow.
Remus tucked the anonymous note into the pocket of his school robes. He would save it to show to James tomorrow. If he did not have proof of a threatening note, knowing James, he would not believe it.
A/N: Scary, huh? giggle Well, guys, I hope you read the note above because it's really important. To me, anyway.Oh, yes, important question/request: I need ideas! I still don't have much of a plot, as most of you know. I have what's above, someone trying to attack James (or is it all a practical joke? Hmmm...), but it's not much to work with. And I promise to mention you in the story if I think your idea is good enough to use! I'll consider every one of them. So, ideas and reviews, please! much love
