CHAPTER 10

Full Moons and Not so Happy Endings

'Halloween, a night of horror. That's hitting the nail on the head' thought Remus while he lay in a bed in the hospital wing. He felt like shit and that was putting it mildly. He was constantly having inner battles with his primordial instincts. He just wanted the night to be over over. It was almost 5:00 so he should be leaving for the shack any minute.

'Only once a month thank god' he thought as he crossed the grounds with Madam Pomfrey.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning. Be safe," she said before shutting the door in the floor and hurrying down the tunnel.

"Poor boy doesn't deserve it. No not at all," she murmured aloud to no one. The sun wouldn't go down for half an hour and then the party would start…

James, Sirius, and Peter had bid Remus good-bye that morning when he left for the hospital wing and then had gone to classes. All day they anticipated that night. They wanted to go see Moony and run freely over the grounds. Tonight they were going into the forbidden forest to frolic with the creatures. (A/N- frolic is such a funny word isn't it!)

"Padfoot, what if someone's in the forest tonight while we're there with Moony?" asked James. He had just realized why they had always tried to avoid the forest. It was a magnet to the Hogwarts students simply because it was forbidden.

"Then I'll lure him away and you can scare the living shit out of the people!" said Sirius with an energetic bounce to his step. This was a favorite holiday of Sirius's because he loved to scare people! Right now he and James were headed to the Kitchens. They approached the portrait of fruit and Sirius tickled the Pear and turned it.

All of the house elves stopped and ran up to greet James and Sirius.

"What would Master James Like?" asked a small house elf named Henny.

"I'll have a bowl of Phishfood ice cream thanks Henny," and with that things returned to normal.

"Hey Sirius why didn't they ask you what you wanted?" asked James.

"Because they know exactly what I want," said Sirius.

James cocked an eyebrow.

"A few nights ago I was starving and I came down while you were sleeping and asked them to surprise me and they did they gave me Pistachio pudding," said Sirius.

James looking mildly disgusted replied, " Padfoot that's nasty how much of it did you eat?"

"Only a few bowls every night this week," Sirius stated proudly. He had clearly found his new fetish and

James was somewhat relieved. This was nothing compared to when he was obsessed with Acid Pops and burned nearly his whole tongue off. James chuckled at the memory. The noise of Sirius slurping brought him back to earth and he dug into his Phishfood.

James and Sirius continued to eat the foods until Peter came and said "Guys the sun is setting let's go."

James and Sirius jumped up thanked the house elves and ran to Peter and the three remaining Marauders situated themselves under the cloak and strutted off into the night.

Lily and Ash were bored to say the least. Joey was off studying something, and Alice was off with Frank…again. Needless to say, they were at a total loss at what they should do.

"This is bullocks," said Lily loudly in the middle of the common room. Quite a few people were shocked and amused by her sudden out burst and turned to stare at her in disbelief.

"What the hell are you looking at? Nothing to see here," she screamed all the alert heads snapped down.

Lily sighed "I'm sooooooooooo bored. Why the hell are we just sitting here?" she asked Ash who shrugged.

A few minutes later Ash picked up her head from the table where she'd been banging it repetitively for three minutes trying to think of something to do

"I've got it!" she exclaimed, "The other night I was out past curfew and I could hear Filtch and that stupid cat coming so I started to pace back and fourth in front of the Portrait of the insane knight and a door appeared it looked just like the common room inside. Wanna go there?" Ash said excitedly.

"Why not?" replied Lily, "I wanna go swimming, so lets change into bathing suites and after we can go to the prefects bathroom and swim."

"Ok," Replied Ash and the two girls ran upstairs and changed.

Now they were just wearing pj bottoms, beaters, and bikinis. They made their way to the painting of the crazy knight on the third floor and Lily began to pace in front of him thinking of the refreshing dip her and Ash were about to take.

After her third time by the knight a door appeared. It was fogged glass with gold handles. Lily looked at Ash who looked skeptically at it but pulled it open all the same. Inside was the BIGGEST pool Lily had ever seen. The room was the size of the great hall and the pool took up three-quarters of it. There were several colored tube slides that started near the ceiling and twisted and curved up and down until they spit bluish tinted water in to the sparkling pool. There were also two large slides that took off at a vertical drop and landed in the deep end of the pool and a diving board was also at the deep end of the pool. Some tanning chairs sat under UV lights (Used for tanning) and three tubes sat by the edge of the pool two single and a double. Across from the pool there was a bar with everything you could possibly want to eat. Two stools sat in front of it with the plates that the Hogwarts dances were o-so famous for where you said what you wanted and it appeared magically. A large circular hot tub sat in front of the window that covered the entire wall farthest from the door. The air was warm, humid and smelled like chlorine.

Lily turned to look at the door and saw a lock above the handle she flipped and turned to Ash, "I thought it looked just like the Gryffindor common room," she said sarcastically.

Ash just shrugged and stripped down to her Black Bikini with little multi-colored hearts all over it and before Lily could respond she grabbed a hot pink single tube and ran up the latter to the top of one of the tube slides and disappeared. Several minutes later Ash appeared screaming out the end of the dark water ride.

She spun around the pool for a minute before laughing like a mad woman and saying, "What's the matter Lily? Scared of the big bad slide?"

Lily smiled sweetly and pulled of her clothes to reveal an emerald green string Bikini. She grabbed the other tube and ran to the top of a different tube slide that was directed straight at where Ash was floating.

She disappeared and came shooting silently at Ash who hadn't even noticed she was took off because she was still laughing. Lily hit Ash's tube full throttle and sent them both flying into the pool three feet away from their tubes.

A minute later they both resurfaced and laughed and ran over to the slides to go again and again…

Several hours later they were both lying on the beach chair under the tanning lights slathered in tanning oil, sipping pina coladas.

All of the sudden Ash Broke out singing, "If you like Pina Coladas…" she was joined by Lily, "And getting caught in the rain…" that was as far as they got because they once again started laughing.

"Ash we should get Alice and Joey and come back here," Said Lily taking a sip of her drink.

"Why does it always seems to be different?" said Ash sitting up and stretching, "Wait one second Lils, what were you thinking when you paced in front of the knight?"

Lily looked puzzled for a minute then responded, "A pool. Kind of like this one from a water park call Splash and Dash," she replied and then asked, "What were you thinking that night?"

"About getting back to the Gryffindor common room," Ash responded. "I think this room appears with what ever the person pacing requires… it's a Room of Requirement" she finished.

"Well that's what we'll call it then," said Lily "the Room of Requirement."

And with that the two girls ran to the pool and jumped in. The Pina Coladas sat abandoned by the chairs.

James, Sirius, and Peter made it into the passage under the willow just before the moon rose. They hastily transformed before Prongs pushed the trapdoor open from below and the three animals came face to face with a growling Werewolf. This to some would have caused a heart attack if they hadn't been used to it by then. Padfoot jumped up through the door and started to play with the wolf. Soon as they were sure that Moony was in control not the Wolf the cautiously herded him out Padfoot and Wormtail in the front followed by Prongs. They herded Moony to the forest where they all took off at a run towards its darkness. After several hours it had to be about Midnight. Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail and Prongs came across a sight that could have been deadly.

They were on their way out of the forest when Moony sniffed something and took off at a gallop towards a dim light about a yard away. Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail chased after him. What they discovered they decided to report to Dumbledore ASAP. Around a large bonfire sat a sea of black hooded figure and in the middle apparently floating above the fire stood Lord Voldermort.

"You have all gathered here again to swear you allegiance to me and ONLY me," he said.

That was all Padfoot and Prongs needed they shepherded a growling and viciously snapping Moony back to the Shrieking Shack. But one little rat stood in the shadow of the brush around the fire fractionated by the snakelike man standing before him. He felt like Lord Voldermort as speaking to him and only him as he preached about how the finest Pureblood wizards were in front of him and getting ready to pledge themselves to his cause to purge the world as "Muggleborn Riffraff" as he put it. Peter Pettigrew was hooked on just that tiny bit of power as he sat there and watched the darklord. He was now questioning his loyalties. As he made his way back to the castle he debated on whether to go to a meeting in human form. He had always disapproved of the Muggleborn being aloud in school but didn't know if he thought they needed to die just be left as muggles instead. Peter had made up his mid he was going to attend the next meeting.

The next morning Remus awoke with a large yawn and then winced at a large cut that was apparently on his back due to the searing pain coming from it.

'What the hell did we do last night?' he thought to himself. Then after looking around for a minute he noticed the large pile of sweets next to his bed and grinned but just as he was about to dig in Madam Pomfrey arrived.

"Ah good your up," she said bustling over to him. "Now lets see how bad you've bloodied yourself up this time."

After her checking him over and pouring some acid green liquid into the cut on his back she sent him on his way and to "rest up". He snorted at the idea as he entered the Gryffindor common room.

Joey was the first thing he saw so instead of going in search of the Marauders like usual he walked over to where she sat and plopped down next to her.

She turned and smiled at him, "Hey you how are you feeling?" she asked.

"Well I don't have the Flu any more," he replied. He felt horrible lying to her but what else could he do? He feared one thing and that was rejection. Ever since he was a kid, whenever he told anyone his secret they shunned him and pushed away. He didn't want that to happen again.

Some Weeks Later

James was going to talk to Shannon. She was fun but well she was just not his type, she was way too ditzy for him. She was a terrific kisser but she just well she wasn't Lily and if it wasn't Lily it wasn't good enough. He really should try to make more of an impression on Lily anyway. His thoughts were cut off because he arrived at the old charms classroom where he had asked her to meet him. James drew a deep breath and opened the door. Shannon was sitting on a desk in a pair of sweatpants and a beater.

'God she looks hot' he thought but mentally shook himself and walked over to her.

"Shannon we've had fun these past few months right?" he asked. She nodded and he continued, "I'm sorry but you just really are not my type so I guess this is over," he finished.

She stared at him for a minute before bursting into tears and running out of the room in hysterics. He sighed and exited the classroom and quickly made his way back to the common room. Where he found Sirius and the rest of the Marauders.

"Well Shannon's history," James said trying and failing miserably to sound depressed.

"That sucks mate," replied Sirius clapping his hand on James's shoulder. He knew how James had felt about her and was honestly quite glad she was gone. At first she wasn't that bad but after she walked into an open door that Remus had warned her about Sirius had lost all respect for her. She was just so stupid it was almost painful. And that was the end of Shannon.
