Chapter 6
James and Sirius froze like deer in a headlight.
"The cloak won't cover us in animal form!" said Sirius
"Sirius! That's the least of our worries! We would be safe but that man wouldn't be! What if there are other people in the forest?" exclaimed James.
He shot a worried look at Remus.
Then James got an idea.
"That ranch back there! Remember the horse said only that man lived there! If the man stays in the house or forest then, Remus, We can keep you in the barn for tonight! You wouldn't hurt the horse, and well it would be just like the shrieking shack."
Remus sighed.
"It's risky but it's the only plan we've got. Let's go. Hurry."
They rushed up the winding path of darkness until finally they found it. Just in time too. The moment they had escaped the shade of the forest and into the moonlight Moony began to transform. Sirius held off Remus long enough for James to unlock the barn and transform. The three of them entered and Padfoot and Prongs bucked the door shut. Then they pushed some boxes and barrels in front of it.
They fell asleep in their animal forms and in the morning they woke to find Remus in his normal form. He was sitting way up high in a loft. A ladder just like the one in the movie was perched against the top of the loft.
"Hey guys, come on up, you have to see this."
They climbed up the ladder and found what looked like a little girl's bedroom.
"Do you think this is where she lived?"
"Looks like it."
"But it doesn't look like a witch lived here, these are muggle things."
"Maybe they didn't want her to learn magic."
"Well, then they failed miserably."
"Well, well, guys, that's it! The video, it had a well! And this island! She's here! If we find the well, we find her!"
"Who cares, we don't need to go finding some dead girl's corpse."
"Let's check out this 'cabin 12' place."
They went up to cabin twelve and since Sirius's uncle owned shelter mountain inn, they got in easy.
"Under the floor, all the best stuff is always under the floor." Said James
(A/N: that's where Harry gets it from, always hiding his stuff under the lose floorboard.)
"Well, duh, of course it's under the floor, where do you think they would keep a well, in the attic?"
"Good idea, Remus, I'll go check" Sirius attempted to run up stairs but James stopped him.
"Not scared are you, Paddy?" said James in a taunting voice.
"Me, scared, no way, nothing scares me!" said Sirius
"Good, then you can help me pull up this loose floorboard."
They hacked up almost all the floor and saw...
A/N: hah! Left you with a huge cliff hanger. One thing, anyone got ideas on what they find? I have an idea but I want to see what you guys come up with. Review please!
