A/N: Sorry I took so long to update a new chapter. Why doesn't anyone review Moonlit Madness?
The Watchful
Lily had woke up early that morning, and decided to go to the library to get a head start on a Charms project. When she finally approched her destination, she paused before entering. She heard Kalandra Thelspaene's voice, as well as the Gryffindor girl for whom Remus loved. Cautiously, Lily listened to their conversation.
"I won't do it Kalandra. I really do care for him." She sounded fearful.
"You would dare to ignore the desires of our master? He who does not discriminate your curse?" Kalandra was venemous, uncaring.
"Leave my curse out of this."
"Why? Does your sweet love not know?" Though, Lily could not see, she would have bet anything that Kalandra held an evil grin upon her cold face.
"No. Remus does not."
"Poor, pathetic Annalie."
"I am not pathetic, nor poor Kalandra!" Anger and frustration was evident in her tone.
"You are. It is as simple as that."
There was a brief silence.
"You are right. I can't even tell Remus my thoughts." Annalie sighed in defeat.
"You actually thought otherwise?"
"What does the Dark Lord request of me, Kalandra?
And Lily could hear no more. The two girls had obviously cast a spell for secruity. But if that was the case, why did they not do that for the conversation she had just heard. And what were they planning. As far as she could tell, Sirius and Remus were in danger. Even if Annalie did not wish for it to be so. Maybe she could get the disgruntled girl to help her and her friends instead of Kalandra and Voldemort. It was worth a try.
It was now Charms class, and rather than pay attention to the lesson, the boys decided to pass one another notes instead. They went unnoticed by everyone, including the professor, for the exception, of course, Lily. She glanced at them often during the entire class, though not in anger for their choice of not wanting to learn, but trying to decide weather or not to tell them what she had discovered earlier. So she too missed the day's lesson.
On the way our of the classroom once the lesson was over Lily made sure that she was right behind the boys. When in the corridor she tapped Sirius on the shoulder. He turned around, noticed it was her, and smiled a confused smile.
"Yes?" He asked.
Lily hesitated. "It's about Kalandra." She frowned, suddenly unsure if she should break his heart. Then she decided to think this over logically. The wheels of her mind turning as she came to the conclusion. If she did tell him, he would be heart-broken, but would be in denial. And leap over the cliff full force just to prove her wrong. "Nothing, Sirius." And with that she left him there, more confused than he had been before.
Peter had watched this curiously. He wondered if Lily knew something and decided to speak with Kalandra about it, knowing he would be told of and belittled. But he did not mind. O'le Wormtail just usually tuned her out and stared at her scary beauty, grinning stupidly. He was sure that she commented on that as well, though wasn't positive.
He silently crept away from his 'friends' and began looking for Kalandra. He found her five minutes later, talking with a group of Slytherin girls.
"K - Kalandra?"
She glared at him. "What is an idiotic Gryffindor doing talking to me?" She hissed.
Peter winced. "B - buisness." He whispered.
"Fine."
Peter sighed in relief and waited for her to finish with her conversation. He quickly found his arm being gripped tightly and pulled away. Soon he and Kalandra were in a empty classroom. His present company was not in a good mood.
"How dare you! That will raise questions! You better have a good reason."
Peter started to tell her he thought Lily knew something, then chose to say instead. "Lily knows something."
Kalandra simply stood there a moment, then. "If so, I will deal with the problem. Is that all?"
"Yes." Peter said squeakily.
They left the room. Separately.
In the room renewed empty room Annalie throw off the Invisibility Cloak she had borrowed. Tears were streaming down her face. She had to warn Lily of what she had just heard. No matter if it meant disloyalty to the Dark Lord. And maybe she could find that Gryffindor bravery to save her beloved. She hoped.
As she ran out of the room and down the corridor she bumped into Severus. Annalie apalogized quickly and continued on. She did not notice him follow her.
Severus followed the fool girl easily. He soon found himself nearing the Library and slowed his pace. Listening carefully he hear Annalie ask around for Lily to no avail. She wasn't there. Annalie went in another direction and Severus followed yet again. He stopped abruptly. They were going towards the Gryffindor Common Room. What a pity.
He decided to look for Peter Pettigrew to aid him and found the rat on his way to the same destination as Annalie. He took the filth to the side.
"Peter." He said silkily, noticablly scaring the boy.
"W-what d-do you w-want?"
"Follow Annalie. She is looking for Lily Evans. Watch them. Listen to anything they say. They are going to your common room."
"As you s-say Severus." Peter nodded, going in the direction of his house common room.
Severus watched after him till he disappeared from view and went his own way.
James crept around the corner Severus had just left and thought of what happened. Should he warn the girls or go inform the guys?
He had just made up his mind to warn the girls when Sirius appeared at his side and would soon forget the whole thing. "What is it?"
"I can't find Remus."
James frowned. "When was the last you saw him?"
"Charms."
"...Well...let's go look for him." And he and Sirius went off towards the Grand Staircase.
In the Library Remus wrote a letter to his friends:
Dear Friends,
Gone to Shrieking Shack early. Want to be alone tonight. See you tomorrow.
Moony.
