Morgan: Yea! New Chapter! New Chapter!
Sevy: Morgan, why am I here?
Morgan: Because Remus got sick from the strawberry tea.
Sevy: oh...Can I have some?
Morgan: Why? You'll get sick! Then you'll have to leave!
Sevy: I know... it's a good thing...
Morgan: ...You're mean...
Sevy: Thank you...
Morgan: I'm not talking to you. Any way, here's the next chapter to 'Moonlit Waltz'!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remus sat by his dormitory window, gazing at the Womping Willow. Tonight, underneath the tree, he would hide. Hide from his friends. Hide from his teachers. Hide from everyone. He dreaded it horribly, but knew that there was nothing he could do about it. He would have to transform into the Inner Remus. The wolf. The /werewolf/.
Remus looked at the clock. 4:45 pm. He would have to go to the Hospital Wing in fifteen minutes, only to have Madame Pomfrey place him on a floating stretcher, tied down with leather, and placed into the passageway to the Shrieking Shack. The house of horror.
With a final sigh, Remus got up, and went on his way to the Hospital Wing. He might as well go early. In the Gryffindor Common room, he found his friends. James was writing in a journal, Peter was eating some sort of chocolate, and Sirius was lying across one of the giant couches. The three looked up at their pale friend.
"Hey Moony," said James, placing his quill down.
"Heph, Moonthy," said Peter, swallowing his chocolate.
"Whats up?" said Sirius, sitting up. "On your way to the Hospital Wing?"
"Yeah," said Remus, coughing slightly. "I'm going early, so Madam Pomfrey won't get mad at me like last time."
"I remember that." Said James with a small smile.
"Yeah, we could hear her yelling all the way down the hall." Said Sirius.
"I was surprised she could yell that loud." Said Peter in a small voice, as though afraid that Madam Pomfrey would show up and start yelling at him.
"Yep. Well, I better get going. See ya." Said Remus, heading towards the door.
"Hey Moony!" said James, getting up. "I'll go with you to the Hospital Wing."
"Really?" said Remus, smiling.
"Yeah, so it won't be so lonely." Said James, walking over to his friend.
"Um, you guys wanna come?" said Remus, looking at Sirius and Peter.
"I'll be with you in a minute." Said Sirius. "I've got to get some of my books to read for when I'm in detention."
The other three stared at him.
"What?" said Sirius, looking at the stares he was getting. "Oh. My books! As in, 'Pretty Witch Weekly'."
"Only you Sirius. Only you." Said James, shaking his head.
"You used to read them, until you made your own." Said Sirius, grinning. James blushed.
"What?" said Peter, looking to James to Sirius.
"You promised." Grumbled James.
"I was crossing my fingers." Said Sirius, grinning even wider.
"Oh, dear. What did you do?" asked Remus, looking at James.
"I kinda...um...well..." muttered James.
"He hired one of the girls to take a 'picture' of Lilly," snickered Sirius.
"Prongs!" exclaimed Remus and Peter.
"What?" he yelped.
Remus sighed, then headed towards the door.
"Come on, I gotta be there in 5 minutes." He said. "Oh, what about you Peter?"
"I'll come with Sirius." He said.
"'K. See ya." Said Remus, as he and James headed out the door.
"So, Prongs," said Remus slyly, as the walked down the hall together.
"Yeah?" said James, pushing his glasses up a little bit.
"Was it Lilly's good side, or her bad side?" said Remus. He ducked and ran off laughing as James tried to hit him. The two both ran all the way to the Hospital Wing.
*Griffindor Common Room*
"Okay, Wormtail," said Sirius, coming down the steps leading to the boy's dormitory. "I've got my magazines. Let's head on over to the Hospital Wing."
"Okay!" said Peter, jumping up. Unfortunately, as he jumped up, he knocked over his chocolate and his drink, causing it all to splatter onto the floor.
"Oh damn..." muttered Peter.
"Well, clean it up, and come and join us, okay?" said Sirius, shaking his head.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Said Peter, trying to figure out a spell to clean up his mess.
As Sirius walked down the hall, he was stopped abruptly.
"Hello, Black." Sneered Severus. "Having a nice walk?"
"Get out of my way, Snivellus, or I'll curse you." Snapped Sirius.
"Oh, I don't think you'll be doing that." Said Severus, smiling evilly.
"Really now?" said Sirius, raising his eyebrows and his wand.
"I've noticed your friend, Lupin, has not been feeling very well." Said Severus loudly. "Is he allergic to the moon or something like that?"
Sirius froze. Did Severus mean what he thought...?
"Oh, I can tell I'm getting warmer." Said Severus, sneering even more. "Is he, allergic like a, oh say, /werewolf?/"
"H-how did you...?" said Sirius, his eyes narrowing in disbelief.
"You and friends should really watch were you have your important conversations." Said Severus. "People might over hear you."
"You snake..." growled Sirius, sounding much like the black dog.
"Now, I won't tell anyone... if you tell me where I can get a picture of Lupin...as a werewolf..." saidSeverus his black eyes glittering. "Just in case you boy's try to harm me again."
"It's not sa..." Sirius had almost said 'It's not safe' but he had an idea pop into his head.
"It's were?" snapped Severus, pulling out his wand.
"It's there." Said Sirius, pointing to the Womping Willow. "But you won't be able to get in. It's underneath it. The tree will try to kill you."
"Oh, I have an idea." Sneered Severus, "It won't be hard to find out. Good night Black."
Severus Snape walked around the corner, the corners of his lips still turned upwards.
"Git..." muttered Sirius as he continued down the Hall. "I better go tell James about this...oh well, he'll never figure out how to get under there."
*The Hall by the Hospital Wing*
James was walking back from the Hospital Wing. Sirius walked over to him still frowning.
"Hey, mate, what took you so long? Madam Pomfrey already took Moony down." Said James. He noticed the look on his friend's face and raised his eyebrows. "Whats wrong?"
"Snivellus," snarled Sirius, catching his breath.
"What about the slimeball?" said James, staring at his friend.
"H-he found out about Moony..." said Sirius
"How? What...? How?!" said James jumping back in surprise.
"He heard us talking earlier." Said Sirius, "And he wants to take pictures of him."
"What did you tell him?" said James
"I told him were to go," said Sirius, but continued when he saw the look James had given him, "He'll never be able to get in! He doesn't know how to get under there!"
"I suppose you're right." Said James, sighing "He'll never- Wormtail?! What the bloody hell happened to you?!"
Peter had come up behind them, his eyes rimmed with tears. His robes were tattered, his lip was bleeding, and he had a black eye.
"Who did this to you?" demanded Sirius, rushing over to Peter.
"S-Snape," whimpered Peter, looking over his shoulder.
"Why?" said James
"He-he ambushed me and told me to tell him how to get under the Womping Willow..." Peter wailed.
"Did you tell him how?" said Sirius, grabbing Peter by his upper arm.
"N-not at first..." sobbed Peter, "But then he gave me this and I had to tell him!" Peter pointed to his black eye.
"Damn it!" snarled James, "Where did he head off to?"
"T-To the W-Womping Willow..." said Peter, tears still flowing down his face.
James and Sirius took off at a run towards the grounds outside.
"What if he finds Moony in there?" said Sirius, through deep breaths.
"Forget Moony!" yelled James, "If Snape does get in there, Moony will shred him limb from limb!"
"So?" said Sirius
"Because we will be too, when they find out we were behind it!" said James, jumping off the last step of the stairs.
"Oh, crap..." said Sirius under his breath. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs pondering this, as James ran outside.
James's eyes widened when he saw what lay before him. Severus was underneath the Womping Willow, and was slowly opening the passageway. His eyes were widening and there was the sound of soft growling.
"SNAPE! NO!" yelled James dashing forward. He he was quick enough, he could save Severus, his worst enemy.
