WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! NONE OF THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME! (except anabelle) WAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

"Well, you know that your friend has grown up in a non-magical environment. Imagine that there is something, like a spirit inside her, that has been waiting to come out, but there was nothing around it powerful enough to make it come out. Tell me Remus, did Anabelle have any strong feelings before this?" asked Dumbledore. Remus thought for a minute and his mind took him back to the confrontation she had with Snape.

"Yeah...yeah, she did" said Remus thoughtfully

"What happened?" asked Dumbledore calmly

"Well, she had a fight with a Slytherin kid called Severus Snape"

"What happened in that fight?" asked Dumbledore looking slightly confused

"Well..." said Remus, doubting if he should tell him or not, but Snape deserved it... "Snape pointed his wand at Ana..."

"Go on"

"But then James, Sirius and I came and he got away"

"Well, Anabelle is lucky to have friends like you three" said Dumbledore smiling. Like you two better said thought Remus.

"But, what does that have to do with this?" asked Remus

"Well, as I was saying, there was nothing powerful enough in the muggle world to make that 'spirit' set free. Now, this discussion with Mr. Snape might have just been powerful enough to set this 'spirit' free. You see, what this spirit needed to be set free was to be surrounded by enough magic and a pure emotion. The emotion she felt at that moment was probably pure fright, and since every inch of this castle is surrounded by magic, the spirit has now been set free. But now she will have to learn to control it; though it seems that she was surrounded by too much magic or perhaps the emotion was too strong. It seems that this might have taken her to a level that she might even turn into what that spirit is."

"You mean... she'll actually turn into something?"

"A cat, to be precise" Oh, that explains all the hissing thought Remus.

"So, she'll turn into a cat? Like an animagus?" asked Remus

"Not exactly. You see, an animagus can turn into an animal at will, but she will probably turn into a cat when she is having a strong or pure emotion like fear, anger, even boldness, until she has learned to control it that is... So I must recommend you not to visit her today for she will probably not remember us, maybe tomorrow."

The next day, at the end of lessons, Remus, Peter (they had told him what happened), Sirius (against his will), and James went to the hospital to visit Anabelle.

"I must warn you," said the nurse, Madam Pomfrey, "there's as much probability of she remembering you boys and what happened as there is of her not even remembering who she is, so try and don't push it if she doesn't remember you, and try and don't give her any strong emotions either, okay?" and she led them towards Anabelle's bed once they had all agreed. When they got there, they saw Anabelle. She was looking distractedly at the ceiling.

"Ana?" James whispered timidly; Anabelle didn't answer.

"Anabelle?" repeated James a bit louder. Anabelle didn't even look at him. She simply took her time in sitting up straight, and she slowly turned her head to look at them, and then, to everyone's surprise, she smiled weakly.

"Hi, James" she said, practically whispering for how tired her voice was. By the look of relief on all their faces, Anabelle became curious.

"Why were you all so worried?" she asked, her voice scratchy.

"Madam Pomfrey said that you might not remember any of us" explained Peter.

"Well," said Anabelle, starting to look serious, "I do remember flashes of it. I remember that I was on the floor, and then…" Anabelle couldn't remember the rest of it, and this frustrated her. Remus could see her strain her face trying to remember, and there was a definite increase in her breathing speed.

"Calm down, Ana. Madam Pomfrey said that it wasn't convenient that you had any strong emotions. You need your rest." Said Remus grabbing one of Anabelle's hands. Instantly, she calmed down.

"Weeeeell, as Remus said, Anabelle needs her rest, so what do you say we get going, eh?" said Sirius pulling Remus away from her with one hand and pulling James with the other.

"Bye, Ana!" said James

"Get well soon!" said Peter following the boys

"See you later!" said Remus, and they four boys disappeared in the doorway. Like 15 minutes later, Lily Evans came sprinting through the door.

"Hi…Ana" Lily panted

"Calm down. Catch your breath." Said Anabelle, her voice less scratchy now.

"As soon as James told me you had woken up, I came as fast as I could. Oh, I'm so glad you're all right!"

"Has the school been saying anything?" (Not that it wasn't obvious Anabelle thought)

"Oh, yeah. They've been saying loads of rubbish. McGonnagall's been a little bit jumpy since she got back. This morning, she heard Mrs. Norris meow behind her, and she jumped of fright. I think she would've kicked her if Filch hadn't been there." Anabelle laughed of the thought of stern McGonnagall kicking Mrs. Norris through a window and out of the castle. But then, something caught her eye. A rat was scurrying in the corner. Anabelle started hissing like mad. Lily was getting seriously scared.

"Ma-ma-madam Pomfrey!" yelled Lily. Madam Pomfrey came running towards the girls, when she saw Anabelle she gasped and held Anabelle by her shoulders.

"What did you tell her!" yelled Madam Pomfrey struggling to get Anabelle to lie down.

"I didn't tell her anything! She just saw that rat and--"

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! A RAT!" shrieked Madam Pomfrey, and she got up a chair that was besides Anabelle's bed. But because she did this, Anabelle was now free and she jumped out of the bed. But the one who fell to the floor wasn't a girl, it was a cat as red as Anabelle's flaming-red hair, and the cat went running after the rat.

"Catch her!" yelled Madam Pomfrey. Lily didn't understand a thing that was happening, but she obeyed and went running after the red cat. She ran past many corridors, trying to catch the cat, but the cat ran faster. Many students looked at Lily chasing the cat. They must think I'm mad, she thought, but I must catch that cat. She had been running a while now, when she saw Remus, Peter, Sirius, and James up ahead.

"Catch that cat!" Lily yelled, but she noticed that she had yelled at the same time as Madam Pomfrey, who was running behind her with a potion in her hand. When Remus saw the cat, he immediately knew what was going on. So he blocked the cat's way, and before Anabelle could stop, she was already in Remus' arms.

"Calm down, calm down, Anabelle." Whispered Remus as the cat fought to set free again, but once she heard her name, everything came flooding back to her mind. She had stopped struggling so suddenly, Remus thought she had fainted again. But once he saw that she was awake, he smiled. Deep in his heart, something told him that she had remembered everything. Madam Pomfrey walked towards him, grabbed Anabelle the cat in her arms and made her way back to the hospital wing. People around looked curious, and confused including Peter, Sirius and James, even Lily. But Remus knew exactly what was going on: Anabelle had finally turned into that spirit she had set free wich was a cat. Alas, everyone got back to his or her business and Remus was turning to leave with his friends when he felt that a hand grabbed his arm. It was Lily.

"What was that about?" she asked him looking serious. She had guessed by the lack of confusion on his face that he must know something. Remus sighed.

"I'm not the most indicated to tell you that."

"What do you mean 'not the most indicated'? Ana is my friend. I want to know what's wrong with her!"

"Shhh! Don't yell it out to the whole world!" Remus whispered fiercely, and added, "If you want to know what's wrong, go ask her not me!" and with these words, Remus left. He's right, thought Lily, and she went to visit Anabelle.

Remus, Peter, Sirius and James were talking in the Gryffindor common room. None of them noticed that Lily entered the common room looking shocked except Remus. He walked towards Lily, who seemed rooted to the spot.

"Did you ask her?" he asked. Lily shook her head, not looking at his eyes.

"Then?" he asked.

"They didn't let me see her. I was told by Dumbledore." she said looking over Remus' shoulder.

"What's wrong?" asked a voice behind Remus. It was James. That's why Lily was looking over his shoulder. James was looking concerned. Lily looked at Remus as if asking him permission to answer. Remus answered with a serious look that you didn't have to be a genius to know that it meant "No". She could tell that Remus was doing some really quick thinking. But before he could say anything, Lily thought of something.

"I don't like spiders, and I just saw the biggest spider I've ever seen." She said

"Oh, well, don't worry. I haven't seen any spiders here." James said.

"Oh, well…that's good to hear" she said and she made her way to the girls dormitory. James looked at Remus, Remus shrugged and they went back to join Sirius and Peter.

next up- the school goes ever on and on, time passes aaaand still no Ana... lol. anabelle tells the marauders about her condition, and we learn that werewolves are dangerous, so...CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
