Chapter 14

Friday had arrived. Ethan, Pete, Andrea, Sarah, and I were walking out of the Slytherin Common Room. We were getting plenty of weird looks. This being because, it's not everyday that you see 4 teenagers and a wolf walking around the halls of the school.

A couple of 2nd year Hufflepuffs came over to us and asked if they could "pet the doggy". I was holding back a laugh, as were Ethan and Sarah. Andrea glared at them, "Go for it."

So they did, and Pete growled at them. No one but us and Snape knew that the wolf was truly a human. And Snape wasn't there to yell at us for bringing a "savage beast" into the dance. Actually, none of the teachers said anything. I guess they didn't want to get injured?

Ethan and I walked out onto the dance floor, better known as the center of the Great Hall, and began dancing, followed by Pete, Sarah, and Andrea.

I looked at Pete and said to him, "Guess you're going to get paid after all."

He didn't say anything, because well… He was a wolf.

Some Gryffindors in our year walked over to us. One of them, Bethany Andrews, looked at me and snickered, "Looks like Pete couldn't come?"

Pete growled and snapped at her ankles. I couldn't help laughing, "Wouldn't you like to know." That was all I said before turning back to my friends.

Ethan was laughing the hardest out of anyone. Pete was just sitting there, he was staring at some of the younger students in other houses, debating what to do. He'd bite someone if they got too close. But I was hoping that wouldn't happen. All of us were hoping that wouldn't happen.

I hadn't seen Chello yet. I wondered if she was even coming. But I tried to ignore it as I danced with Ethan.

Pete was snapping at a bunch of 1st and 2nd years as they tried to pet him. Andrea and Sarah had left us to go dance with some 5th years. So it was just Ethan, Pete, and I. Ethan was staring at Pete, making sure he didn't attack Professor Flitwick as he came over to us.

Flitwick looked down at Pete, then at Ethan and I. "Now, may I ask you two why you have brought a wolf to this dance?"

Ethan and I looked at each other, without any idea what to say. Ethan spoke, "We decided to bring a native creature to the dance, we had asked Professor Snape's permission and he said it was alright.

I nodded in agreement, we had asked Snape if Pete could go to the dance. And he had been alright with it. And he knew that Pete would be in wolf form.

Flitwick nodded and walked away.

"Nice save Ethan."

"Thanks Shell."

"Not a problem."

Pete kept blinking as he stared at some Hufflepuffs. He licked his lips and lunged.

"Ethan!" I pointed to Pete.

"Oh crap!" Ethan and I both chased after Pete and dragged him outside.

Pete saw the moon and howled. He ran off towards the Forbidden Forest. Then came back towards the school, and howled again.

Students inside the dance heard the howl. For they were slowly coming outside.

Pete saw them and his eyes turned yellow. I ran to the Whomping Willow and crawled through it's branches and hit the knot. Causing the tree to stop moving.

Ethan then dragged Pete to the tree, and pulled him through to the Shrieking Shack. Where I already was. The three of us sat there. Pete was pacing, howling, and licking his lips. As if he were imagining the taste of Hufflepuffs.

Ethan looked at me, "If you hadn't noticed him… Well… He wouldn't be the only werewolf in the school anymore."

"That's for sure." I said, staring out the window at the moon. "It sucks how something so beautiful can create something so…" I looked at Pete, "Violent."

Ethan shrugged, "If we find that out, we'll be rich." He said, as he stared at the door. We heard footsteps and Pete was ready to lunge.

We saw Sarah and Andrea. Pete seemed to notice that they were okay, because he ran to the window and howled.

Sarah shook her head, "Why didn't you guys come get us?" She asked. "We would've come right away!"

"He lunged at some midgets." I said, looking at Pete.

Ethan looked at Sarah and Andrea, "If we had come and gotten you, there would've been more werewolves in the school. Or they might've been eaten…"

Andrea sat down, "Oh… Well, we figured that when we didn't see you guys anymore that this would be where you were."

"Figures." I looked at them, "At least you guys are the only ones who know how to get in here…"

"Yeah… Seeing as when the potion doesn't work we have to come here for the full moon." Sarah stated, pretty bluntly.

"You don't have to." I said, now staring out the window.

"Well… I wouldn't feel like a true friend if I didn't."

Sarah and I seemed to be getting annoyed easily with each other lately. And I decided to ignore her now.

Ethan knew I was getting annoyed, he decided to break the tension, "Why don't we all just be quiet for a little bit… Okay?"

Pete yawned and curled up in a ball. The Wolfsbane potion was working again.

"Let's go back to the dance."

The five of us walked back to the dance and reentered the Great Hall. We went back to dancing.
