Raven rested in her dorm room, greatly missing her own private room which she was use to in her own time. At least Raya and her got to share a dorm room, despite Raya being a year older, and didn't have to share it with any other students. With parchement spread out before her, Raven held her quill in hand, and stared at offending paper, the words she wanted would not come, and she let out a sigh.

A moment later Raya burst into the room. "We've got a problem." She was brandishing a calander.

"What's wrong?" Raven asked sitting up.

"Next Sunday." Raya frowned, handing the calander to her sister. "It's a full moon."

"But...It's not suppose to be for another week after that."

"In our own time." Raya continued, "Here..." she shook her head slightly, letting out a sigh. "I've got to go and tell Dumbledore."

"Do you want me to come along?" Raven asked, feeling concerned for her sister.

Raya smiled, "It's okay, you keep working on whatever you have there. I'll be back shortly." she let out a sigh, "Hopefully with some good news."

Raven watched as her sister left the dorm room once more, feeling a bit more worried about this whole situation. It was bad enough they were twenty years in the past from their own time, at least they had each other. But now...'Now Raya has to face the full moon.' Raven sighed, it hadn't been that long ago that something like this wouldn't have mattered, only a couple months. But in a moment of grief over the loss of her mother, Raya had fled the safty of Hogwarts, and traveled to the states. There in the wilds of Colorado she had met up with a werewolf, and became it's victim. Raven frowned down at the calander that now sat on her bed. The three day span of the full moon seemed to stare back up at her.

Raven was still staring down at the blank paper when Raya arrived back a while later. She could tell her sister was feeling a bit better about the situation, but there still seemed to be something bothering her as well. "Spill it Miss Jacy." Raven said, slipping into their Marauding names (Shortly after Raya had returned from being bitten, she, Raven, and Raya's twin brother Ashton, spurred on by stories of the twin's adopted father, Remus Lupin, had formed their own Marauders...the Slytherin Marauders...Ashton being a wolf animagus, and Raven a coyote one).

"Well..." Raya began. "It's like this Miss Mai, I've got someplace to stay over the moon's full cycle."

"You mean, we've got a place. Don't you?" Raven asked.

"There is just one catch." Her sister began once more. "We will of course have company. As in the orginal Marauders, at the Shrieking Shack."

Raven frown. "Three nights in the company of two of the biggest prats of all history, sorry, I know Sirius was...is...your cousin and what not. A prattish acting Uncle Remus, bloody hell I'm glad he outgrew that phase, and...and..." Raven clentched her teeth together, trying to calm her nerves, "...And that bloody traitor of a rat!" she finally hissed out.

"And not being able to do a bloody thing with what we know." Raya added, sensing her sister's desire, as well as her own, coming to the surface. Nothing would make them happier than to have Peter Pettigrew out of their future, having had a couple run-ins with the rodent themselves. "You don't have to come you know."

"Yes I do." Raven replied. "You're my sister, and you need me there by your side."

Raya then smiled. "Guess what?"

"What?"

"Dad isn't as bad as he acts now, really. I got to talk to him." Raya began. "Dumbledore called him into the office so we could 'meet'." that followed by a brief laugh at the obsurbity of having to meet someone you've already met. "We talked. It didn't go overly well at first, considering. But...after a bit. It's so hard not to say something, exspecially when he asked about my dad."

Raven surpressed a small laugh. "He asked about himself did he?"

"I told him he reminded me of my dad, I couldn't help myself." Raya looked at Raven with a small smile. "It's hard being a werewolf, and James and Sirius are the only friends he has here...he can't help acting the way he does right now."

"I know." Raven offered up a small smile of her own. "And I know he grows out of it...well most of it. Thank the Gods...I don't know what I'd do without Uncle Remus. Or, the rest of my wonderful family."

"So you think your up for three nights in the company of the worlds biggest prats?" Raya asked with a laugh.

"For my sister, " Raven began, "I'd be up for anything."
