Chapter Five Once in a full Moon
After the dance party escapade, life jumped along happily. In between school, quidditch and all the rest ther was barely much time to contemplate. They seven of them saw eachother quite a bit. James could still be found in Lainies room after one of their late night quidditch practices, sleeping, tangled in a mass of limbs and black hair. Though the boys would disappear every now and then.....
"Lainie, where's James" asked Lily
"Why, you want to know where he is huh" said Lainie with a grin.
"No. just wondering"
"Well he went somewhere, I saw him heading off to that secret tunnel on that funny map of theirs"
"That Marauders Maps they invented last year" questioned Lily.
"Yeah, should we go track them down. It's in James trunk." Suggested Lainie
"Are you allowed to" said Lily anxiously
"I Think so. I don't see why not" said Lainie reasonably.
"Ok then"
They all got changed out of their pyjamas and into warmer clothes. Lainie got the map from James's room.
They followed out across the lake till they got to the whomping willow. A big full moon hung above their heads in the night sky. They were just consulting the map and wondering where they were when suddenly a big wolf ran out from behind them.
It grabbed Livvy and tried to bite her.
"Help me" shrieked Livvy.
Lainie and Lily beat at the wolf but it wouldn't let go
Livvy was terrified. The wolf was going to kill her. She was already bleeding. Lainie and Lily couldn't do anything . Suddenly a big black shape appeared out of the darkness but it was too late. She had passed out. Lainie and Lily had fainted when they saw Livvy pass out. They thought she had died and dropped to the ground in disbelief. The wolf howled over it's victims. It was about to bite them when it was knocked by a stag.
James had seen Remus running off out of the corner of his eye and they all had run after him. When he caught up to him his heart nearly stopped. Remus was attacking a person, a very familiar person. God, it was Livvy.
He shouted "Sirius, help me stop him."
Together they shoved Remus off and chased him away. When all was safe they went to see the victims. They were the three girls. All collapsed on the ground. Livvy was bleeding badly from her neck.
"Sirius, Peter, look at this." James said running his hands through his hair in anguish.
They all stood round them
"Hey" said Sirius "Lets drag them into the hall and leave them. No one will know and no one will be expelled." After much deliberation it was agreed. They would do that and they would never speak of it again. They shook hands and left the girls on the stone floor. Then they disappeared into the darkness.
