Chapter five- Mysterious Vixen

It was finally the second week into school, which meant that tonight was a full moon.

'You sure you'll be okay on that arm tonight?' James asked, getting his invisiblity cloak out of his trunk.

'Yeah it should be okay. Stupid Lestrange! He's such a...'Sirius said.

'A fuck nut!' James asked, cocking one eyebrow.

'Yeah, and don't ever use that word! Its mine!' Sirius replied, grinning.

'You guys really didn't have to skip detention to come out with me tonight. Wormtail and I would have done fine on our own.'Remus said.

'Your kidding! There was no way I was missing out on the first full moon of the school year. Whether or not, I have detention, a broken arm, or whatever else I might have to do tonight. It just makes it more fun and exciting to do something your not suppost to because you have to do something else!'

'For me, I wouldn't have to lie to Lily if I was going out for the full moon because she already knows about all of us. But since I had rounds tonight and its soo impossible to get out of them without a good excuse, I just told her I had detention and then I had to work on our animagus project with you guys for Transfiguration. So in one way, I'm not lying because when we get back, Sirius and I do have to work on the project.' James said, grinning.

Remus rolled his eyes, 'You mean, you have to look over everything I did, be happy that your going to get a good mark and go to bed.'

'Yeah exactly.' Sirius replied, grinning as well.

'Well you should head down to the Hospital Wing, so Madam Pomfrey can get you out to the Shrieking Shack and we'll meet you out there soon.'

Remus smiled weakly, then left the room.

'Alright, I need to ask your guys's opinion on something. I was going to ask Juls to the Hogsmeade trip thats coming up. What do you think?' Sirius asked.

'I think your fucking nuts, thats what I think. Why would you do that?'James asked.

'Because I sort of have a thing for her.'

'What about Tammy?' Peter asked, dumbfounded.

'Are you daft, Wormtail? Come on, I mean she is pretty hot with her curves...and...legs...eyes...Look! We're over and she's made that pretty damn clear. I'm starting new!'

'What about Remus?'

'He already told me that I could have her. He said he doesn't care.'

'You know what Padfoot, if you really think that he wouldn't care, you have a couple of screws loose up in there.' James replied, knocking on Sirius's head with his fist, 'Just promise that you'll think about asking her out when you know she likes you back, until then just drop it.'

'All right, fine.' Sirius said, crossing his fingers behind his back.

'Alright Wormtail, hurry up and get the knot under the tree. Remus should already be down there.'James said.

'Okay, I'm going.' Peter said, squishing up his face as if trying to remember something. Suddenly, his clothes dropped to the ground and Wormtail crawled out from underneath and disappeared underneath the Whomping Willow.

'I think its safe to go.' Sirius said, after a minute.

'Alright, lets go.' James replied slipping under the tree, closly followed by Sirius.

A loud groan from further down the tunnel caught the boys attention. the boys quickly started to run down the tunnel. As they ran they morphed into their animagus froms.

'Hurry Padfoot. Remus needs us.' James said, looking at Sirius as they ran.

'I know.' Sirus replied back.

As they entered the Shrieking Shack and moved up the stairs, the groaning was becoming louder and was painful to hear. They suddenly say Remus in one of the rooms, he wasn't transformed yet, but he looked to be in a great deal of pain. Remus looked over to say something but all that came out was a scream. A loud, ear piercing, bloodcurling, scream that would make anything shiver. As the screaming continued, Remus's clothes began to rip and fur replaced where skin once showed. The transformations were unberable to watch, but some how, the boys couldn't stop watching. Remus's face began to change. His eyes became a deep Amber, his face became furry and sprouted a snout.

'Alright guys, Moony might not remember us because we've been away from his werewolf form all summer. He might attack us too.' James said calmly.

'He might attack us too! Oh yeah thats really something to be calm about. I'm not seeing how your being so calm Prongs!' Sirius said, shooting James a warning look.

'Just don't panic.' James said as Remus focused his eyes on them.

He moved towards them and started to growl.

'Moony...Moony, its me James and here's Sirius and Peter.' Remus continued to growl at them.

'Fuck this Prongs. He doesn't know its us.' Sirius growled, stepping forward towards Remus.

'No Sirius don't!' But it was too late. Sirius had pounced on Remus and had started bitting him in the neck. Remus,then, took all the strength he had and threw Sirius off him.

'I told you he doesn't know who we are.' Sirius growled.

'I know who you are Padfoot.' Remus growled back.

'Then why did you fucking throw me!'

'You're the one who attacked me first!'

'Touché' James replied, 'Now that thats settled, where are we going tonight?'

'Hogsmeade!' Sirius and Peter Chanted.

'I would prefer to stay on the grounds tonight.' Remus replied.

'Thats no fun.' Sirius whined.

'Well its Moony's call so, the grounds it is.' James replied.

'Since when has it been his call.' Sirius stated, but they weren't there to hear him, for they had already made their way out of the room.

'Sure is nice out here.' Remus said, as they walked through the Forbbiden Forest.

'Would have been better if we could have gone to Hogsmeade.' Sirius mummbled.

'Oh shut it Padfoot! Here is just fine.'James snapped.

Suddenly, there was movement in the bushes.

'What do you think it is?' Sirius growled.

'Dunno.' James replied.

As the bushes moved more rapidly, The Marauders stayed very cautious. Suddenly, the movements stopped.

'What the...?' Sirius went to say but a figure imerged from the bushes, causing The Marauders to back up. It was a fox.

'God, were we ever jumpy.' Peter said.

'Speak for yourself, Wormtail.' Sirius replied,'Wonder who the fox is?'

'Dunno, never seen it before. Maybe its one of Hagrid's new pets.' James said

'Probably not! It would have to be mutated and pretty dangerous to be his.' Sirius laughed, 'What do you think Moony? Moony!'

But Remus was gone, went running after the fox. As he approuched it, he began to growl, showing his teeth. The fox's head snapped towards him, showing him his presence was aware of.

'I've never seen you around here before.' Remus said.

'Well you haven't been lucky enough to be graced with my presence.' It was a female voice. So then it was a Vixen, and she was an animagus. Only animagi could communicate to him through thought, 'Now if you'll excuse me.' The Vixen replied, walking away. Normally, Remus would have let her go about her own business, but the wolf was very overpowering.

'Dont walk away from me.'

The Vixen turned around, 'Why do you care whether I'm around here or not!'

'Because your walking around on my territory.'

The Vixen laughed, 'Since when has any of this area belonged to anyone? Plus there is no authority over me when I'm an animal!'

Thats it! How dare she talk to him like that. She pay! Oh yes, she would pay! He then, pounced on her and began to claw at her. She clawed at him right back, getting him even better than he was getting her. She temped to get away but Remus was too fast and he bit down into one of her back legs. She yelped in pain and quickly scratched him over his eye, causing him to let go of her leg.

'AHHH FUCK!' Remus yelled.

'Moony, whats wrong?' he heard James yell, although he didn't feel like yelling back.

'Shit Moony. What happened to you eye. Its bleeding pretty bad.' Sirius asked, as the boys approuched him.

'She-she scratched me.'

'Who?'

'That...Vixen. Who was in the bushes.'

'O, So it was a fem. Damn! Well, what did you do to her?'

'I attacked her and bit down on her back leg.' Sirius rolled his eyes.

'Wonder whos he is?' James said.

'Well she goes to our school.'

'Ummm that makes no sense though.' Sirius said, cocking his head.

'Shes an animagus, idiot!' Remus replied

As the Vixen limped back near Hogwarts, she constantly kept talking to herself.

'Thank god that werewolf bit me in this form, better go check with Madame Pomfrey tomorrow just to be sure I don't have Lycanthropy. Fuck, I'm going to be feeling this bite really bad tomorrow.'

As she made her way up the stairs into the castle, she transformed back into her human self, her long hair blowing in the wind behind her.

Keep on reviewing!
