A/N: This chapter is a little stupid, but its a lot less stupider after editing

A/N: Lohel (Translation: Hello) here's the new chapter. But first I just have to say a few things:

1)I have so many reviews that I feel really inspired to write...so a big
thank you to all of you (even flamers because you tell me where to
improve)

2)A very big sorry to everyone. I haven't been able to update very fast...

3)I love Lily and James

4)I'm running out of funny disclaimers

Okokokok.....back on track here...

5)I got many reviews saying that the content was ok...but the writing
needed improving. Well the reason I'm here is to improve my writing in
the first place. I only joined this site for that purpose and then I
found it was a lot of fun. But basically I'm here to improve and I really
appreciate all these reviews. Some flamers just say "your story sucked"
without giving any reason. But all you guys give good feedback. So I'd
like to thank you all as well and invite you to come back and read more
anytime.

6)I know it takes a lot more time to become an animagus, but there's a
reason why I had to make it part of this story. In the book, JK Rowling
says they mastered it in third year. I just made it a few months early
(remember I said they mastered it at the END of the second year?)

7)In the last chapter, I didn't really want any of them to lie coz I hate
liars.....but I didn't want them to be goody-goody either. So I thought up
a few excuses about the Manor thingie. By the way, there might be some
Sirius/Arabella (but that's obvious)

8)Someone copied my nickname! I was the only SummerRain on this site and
now there's someone else as well! Copycat whoever you are (summer rain is
the name of a song I wrote btw)

9)I can tell you're getting irritated now so I'll just start the story
shall I?

10)Shall I?

11)Shall I?

12) Ouch! I get the message.

Disclaimer: there's a piece of paper here.....on it, there's a figure written. $ 10, 0000. so that's exactly what you'll get if you sue me.....a piece of paper!

Chapter 11

Remus has a secret

"Lily dear! This is most unusual." said Mrs. Evans.

"Mum! Its only for a fortnight."

"You say that Lily but you know it will get extended. It always does."

"No, mum. It wont. Two and a half weeks...max"

"Exactly, dear! Shouldn't you spend more of your vacation at home?"

"But I'm invited! And well...mother I'd like to go."

"But dear..."

"Mum!"

"Who is this Arabella girl anyway...is she new at school?"

"Er...she's James's cousin" said Lily uneasily.

"I see"

"She's very nice"

"I'm sure she is dear. But I only see you three months in a year.....and now cutting your visit with me short..." exclaimed Mrs. Evans

"Mum! I'll make it up. I'll come in Easter as well and I'll stay extra in Xmas."

"Alright dear. I see how much this means to you. Very well. You can go."

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" said Lily jumping about excitedly.

----------------------------------- --------------------

"James dear! I don't think its practical."

"But Mum! Its Remus."

"But you can't stay with him for three weeks. It's too long a time."

"But I'm invited."

"Even so...maybe it'll be best if I write to Mrs. Lupin later."

Er...ok mum. You can use my owl." Said James making a mental note to inform Remus to intercept the note."

--------------------- ---------------------------

"Finally! We're here." Said a relieved Remus.

"Yeah...its been weird these two months..." said Sirius who was sprawled lazily on the couch.

James, Sirius, Lily and Remus were already at the Manor. Peter and Arabella were still to arrive.

"I've been owling Ella" said Sirius blushing.

"You have?" James raised an eyebrow

'Yeah.....thought I'd keep in touch' said Sirius 'so.....anyway. she said she might be bringing a friend' he continued looking directly at James.

"You don't mean....."

"Hannah!" exclaimed Lily, realizing who Sirius meant.

Sirius nodded his head.

Lily remembered stories of Hannah Johnson. Hannah, Sirius and James had been the three best friends before Hogwarts. Like Arabella, Hannah went to Beauxbatons, and so the three had never really been able to keep in touch.

Secretly, Lily had been kind of glad. At Hogwarts, she had taken Hannah's place and she had been quite happy about it. But what would happen now? Would Sirius and James forget all about her now that their old best friend was back?

At the opposite side of the room Remus was thinking the same thing. With Hannah and Arabella around, Peter, Lily and he would be completely ignored. The old "all together" feeling would be lost. He had another worry. Arabella and Hannah didn't know that he was a were wolf. How was he going to hide that? And how was he going to hide his other secret? The fact that.....that.....

He couldn't bear to think of it.

A/N: What is Remus hiding?
