A.N. Hey peeps. So sorry this hasn't been updated for sooo long. I have had so much work to do for A levelsand well you know the drill. Anywho, without further delay, here is the next part of Chapter 24.
Chapter 24: Part Two.
James laughed to himself and shook his head. "Hard to believe isn't it." He said knowingly to the group of boys. All of which continued to stare at James in shock. After a moment Sirius shook his head.
"Mate" he said as he grinned. "You've done it" he said amazed.
"Don't sound too surprised" James replied looking a little taken aback. Then he smiled. "But yeah, wow."
Remus finally recovered himself. "Well" he said. The boys looked at him.
He looked slightly pale and sickly, but Harry was sure that he was like this because the next full moon must have been soon.
The sky outside grew dark and a shadow cast about the room. Peter flicked his wand and the room became light again.
"Well" Remus said again, slightly breathless. He looked at James for a moment then smiled.
"I'm happy for you mate" he finally said. James smiled in reply and Sirius clapped his shoulder.
Harry wondered just how much he didn't know concerning Remus' feelings towards his mother.
The room was silent for a few moments. Harry looked out of the window and wondered how long he had been inside the pensieve and how he would get out.
Then he noticed something that made his heart stop.
"REMUS!" Harry shouted, but no one heard. The clouds had parted and Harry could see the moon bright and full in the black sky.
Harry whipped round and saw that Remus was shaking uncontrollably. "Moony-" Sirius began unsurely then he froze and his face grew white with fear.
"MOONY" he said suddenly and shot up onto his feet. Peter squeaked as he too realised what was happening.
Remus moaned and thrashed about in agony on the floor. He pulled at his shirt and scratched at his throat.
James jumped up and glanced out of the window.
"How could I have forgotten?" he said horrified. Sirius was on the floor by the side of Remus and Peter joined him.
Remus yelped and tried to beat against them. Still Peter and Sirius stayed andtried to restrain him.
"How could we ALL forget it was tonight?" Sirius breathed enraged at himself.
Harry watched, feeling helpless. There was nothing that he could do but watch. It was horrifying.
"We've got to get him to the shrieking shack before he changes" James said quickly.
He grabbed his invisibility cloak as Sirius and Peter forced Remus to stand up and held his arms tightly.
James threw the invisibility cloak around the four of them and they dissapeared from sight.
Harry saw the door open by itself and and shut with a snap. Harry hurried to the door, threw it open and hurried down the spiral staircase.
He knew the way to the shrieking shack but he hoped that he would get to the Whomping Willow when the boys did. He didn't fancy the idea of fighting passed the thrashing branches.
A few minutes later Harry dashed down the steps outside and sprinted toward the Willow.
The air howled against Harry's ears and the bitter wind hit his cheeks with full force. Harry ignored the searing pain that shot throughout his body and hurried to the Whomping Willow. He heard yells and shouting.
Then, suddenly a stag, a dog, a rat and a wolf appeared out of thin air. Harry stopped running suddenly and watched as the animals fought with each other.
The wolf snapped and growled at the dog and they rolled around the grass for a few minutes. The stag nipped at the wolf'sneck and the mouse ran in between its legs.
The wolf finally settled and stopped growling. Instead it's tongue flopped out and he bounded around with the Stag and jumped about with the dog.
Harry laughed when he noticed that the dog was wagging it's tail.
The rat scuttled along and came across a dark figure by the lake. Then stopped and scuttled back. Harry watched as the rat wove in and out of the stag's legs and squealed loudly.
The stag stopped jumping and whipped its head towards the dark figure then looked back at the wolf. Then, in one quick movement the stag nipped at the wolf and bolted towards the forbidden forest. The wolf chased the stag the rat followed.
Harry had no choice but to stay. He reminded himself that he was in Sirius' pensieve. Not his fathers.
The dog looked curiously at the dark figure and then seemed to consider it for a moment. Then in a blink of an eye, the dog transformed.
Sirius stood with his chest heaving and his hand bleeding. He was watching the figure by the lake. Harry wondered who it was, but thought that he could guess. The chilly air ran through Harry's hair and he shivered for a moment.
He wished that he was wearing more than his PJ's. He wrapped his arms around himself and followed Sirius, who was walking towards the figure by the lake.
When they reached the figure the moonlight shone onto the lake and he could see the person clearly. Sirius sat by the side of the red headed young woman. She turned he head towards Sirius' and her green eyes penetrated his.
"Hello Evans" Sirius said.
