"What's that noise?" asked Sirius as they finally entered the forest.

"I dunno." said Potter.

"Are you losing your mind?" asked Remus, looking questioningly at Sirius.

"I don't have a mind to lose! Just kidding...No!"

By chance Scream had glanced to her left, only to notice a dripping wet Snape making his way through the bush, seaweed dangling from his nose and on top of his head.

"Ahhh! Its Snape! He's back!" she screamed.

"How'd you get out?" asked Potter.

"The squid helped me!" he replied, giving her the evil eye.

"Darn that squid!" yelled Remus, pounding his paw into the dirt.

"What do we do with him now?" asked Scream.

"Well there's always the vanishing cabinet, maybe he'll turn up in a toilet like Montague." suggested Potter.

"Who?" asked Remus.

"No one...…"

"We have to stop talking about the future…." Scream whispered to Potter.

"Yeah."

"Talking about what?" asked Sirius.
"Ooo nothing...…"

"Speaking of which," said Remus, rounding on the two girls, "where'd you two come from anyway?"

"Ummm… well you see…" Scream began.

"Its----um----we were supposed to----" Potter struggled, giving Scream a nervous glance.

"WE'RE EXCHANGE STUDENTS!" Scream bellowed. Everyone else jumped in surprise at her unexpected outburst.

"YEAH!" said Potter.

"And we just happened to be wandering around…"

"And well---"

"Wait----" said Remus, waving a paw at them, "then how'd you know our names and about the Marauders?"

"How did we know?" Potter whispered to Scream.

"Ummm…..good question."

"Your so famous just about everyone knows!" said Potter, giving an unconvincing smile. Remus and Sirius gave them suspicious looks.

"Were just---Seers! We know all!" said Scream.

"Well, then what am I thinking right now?" asked Sirius.

"Your thinking: How do we know your not lying? Am I right?" said Potter.

"Ummm-------yeah." said Sirius, turning his attention to the ground.

"Cool! Trelawney would be proud!"

"That old bat? I don't like her. She keeps predicting Harry's death!" said Scream.

"Who?" asked Sirius.

"No one!" Potter exclaimed.

"Yeah I didn't say anything!"

"We were talking about my brother!" said Potter.

"Yeah, real nice kid!"

"A little over heroic at times but all around good kid."

"Yeah, he's also a bit arrogant but that's okay."

Just then, there was a rustling in the bushes. Everyone turned their heads only to find James stepping out from the thick brush.

"Harry sounds a lot like James now that I think about it…." said Remus.

" No he doesn't!" shouted Scream.

"Yes he does!" Remus insisted.

"I said he does not!" Scream shouted, making Remus take a frightened step backwards.

"I guess you're right…" he murmured, lowering his gaze.

Turning to Potter, Scream whispered, "No more future talk!

"Ok."

"No more what?" asked Sirius.

"Nothing!"

"Gee do you two ever stop asking questions?" asked Potter.

"Yeah give it a rest." said Scream, a bit of annoyance in her voice.

"I like asking questions!" said Remus.

"Well stop for one day." said Scream.

"Why?"

"Cause I said so."

"Why?"

At Remus' continued asking of 'why?' Scream's temper boiled over and she yelled, "Will you shut your trap!"

"Why should I?" he said, smiling. He knew he was touching a nerve.

"Cause I'll bite you." she said menacingly, showing her teeth. Remus didn't even
flinch.

"So?" he said coolly, "My bites more deadly." he said, flashing his shiny teeth.

"Not while I'm a tiger it ain't." she retorted.

"So either way mine hurts more, trust me I know."

"Ooo shut up already!" she yelled, wanting to put an end to their senseless fighting.

"I cant! I'm, as you pro'lly already know, the smart one that needs answers!"

"Alright already Remus!" said Sirius, who was getting annoyed at both of them.

"You people are no fun." Remus said. Scream rudely stuck her tongue out at him.

"How can you be so mean to a poor little boy who has been shunned all his life?" Remus asked, pretending to sniffle.

"Oh boohoo." said Scream sarcastically.

"Have you no compassion?"

"Yes I do in fact."

"Then why'd you just make a sarcastic remark?"

"Cause you're annoying me!" she screamed. If he didn't stop she was contemplating on biting his head off.

"I'm going back to the castle." said Remus, still sniffling.

"Oh go."

"Fine and I don't care that I'm still a werewolf, I'll go scare some first years!" he said, turning his back to them.

"I thought you didn't like violence." said Potter.

"Well when I'm angry who knows?" he growled.

"Ahh that evil side is showing!" laughed James.

"Oh shut up James!" said Remus, jumping to face him. James continued laughing, causing Remus to bare his teeth in annoyance and anger. "What's so funny?"

"You trying to be tough!"

"Ya gotta problem wit that?" asked Remus, his angry grin getting wider.

"Ummm----" said James, widening his eyes as he looked down at Remus' teeth, "--no."

Getting fed up of them, Snape disappeared into the trees and headed back to the castle. Not long after Scream and Potter also decided to leave well enough alone and crept away from them, listening to Remus' and James' quarreling all the way up to the castle.
