AN: come on you guys I know that so many of you are reading and none of you are reviewing, it makes me happy when I get reviews 

Daisfunk: my constant reviewer, i'm glad you liked the chapter; the whole point of Chessy was to make Lily slightly aware of her feelings for James. I wanted her to feel jealous. Plus I was starting to get sick of my own character myself.

Disclaimer: this is for chapter 5 as well. I am not J K Rowling; I do not own Harry Potter or any of these characters. If I did I would be rich, would not have to go to college, be able to shop all day, and I would be published not writing for fan fiction. I think we get the message.

Enjoy 

A night in the woods

Remus was starting to feel really groggy, it was the night of the full moon and he could already feel the extreme paint that came with each moon. Sometimes, no scrap that, all the time he wished that he could turn back time so that he wasn't bitten and that he didn't have to be like this – a warewolf. His only wish, for every one of his birthdays, Christmases, Easters and any other event that you made a wish at, was that he wished he wasn't a warewolf.

On the other hand, the only good part of it was that he realised what good friends he had in the form of James, Sirius and Peter. They had down, and risked everything just to make this particular day of the month easier to bare. And the worst thing was that he couldn't give so much back to them, it just wasn't possible. So he just coped with helping them – or doing – their homework. It was the least he could do.

Remus was feeling particularly nervous as Madame Styles led him out to the whomping willow. This tree marked the secret tunnel to the shrieking shack, which was thought to be hunted by ghosts. Really though, it was just hunted by Remus. Later on when they could get away, James, Sirius and Peter would also go down this same path as animagi and they would spend the night hitting the town – or woods at least.

When the time came Peter transformed into his rat like self and pressed the notch on the tree. He was so small that this meant the tree didn't whack him as he went near it. Then, once the tree had stilled, James (in the form of a stag), Sirius (in the form of a large shaggy dog and Peter (as the rat), went down the tunnel to the shrieking shack. Once they got there they were met with the image of a wolf howling loudly towards the sky, then realising that he had company, came over to sniff. For some reason the wolf seemed to know these people and it didn't attack them. He had gotten used to their sent and smell and appearance over time and only attacked them when they upset him. The wolf, needing to release some of his pent up anger, went round the large, tumbling down house, and started ripping into the walls and furniture with a fury that no one could match, this form of character was so different compared to the tame, controlled Remus in his human form that even if someone did come across him, they would never know that it was Remus under the mask.

The wolf was too pent up to be in such an enclosed area, so as a special treat, the stag, dog and rat chased the wolf down the secret tunnel again and towards Hogwarts. As they exited the tree, the wolf made a sprint towards the castle. Blood rushing the stag and the dog followed him as fast as they could possibly go, eager to catch up with him and not let him anywhere near the students. As they pounced and jumped and bite the wolf, they managed to control him enough towards the direction of the forbidden forest and chased him in the silhouette of the full moon.

I know this is very short, but I thought I would do it in two parts just so there is something going out there,

Summery of next chapter: 2nd part of a night in the woods, dates are being lined up for the Halloween dance, and lily sees a scratch on James's arm, how will she react?
