THE SHRIEKING SHACK

The next day was his first day of classes, along with the rest of the first years. He soon found he would have Potions with the Slytherins, which seemed to be the most hated house by Gryffindor. Remus had fun taunting others his age with his new friends, but couldn't help but think,
"those poor kids."
That day, in the Great Hall, Remus received a letter. Of course James and Sirius wanted to read it, (Peter could care less), so he opened it nervously, and read...

Dear Mr. Lupin,
I have found something that will be useful to you, under your
condition. Please meet me by the lake as soon as you have finished the days' classes so I may explain.
signed,
Dumbledore

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sirius asked, very confused.
"Yeah! What's 'your condition'?" James asked suspiciously.
Of course Remus knew exactly what this meant, Dumbledore had something to help him on a full moon, but what was he supposed to tell the guys?
"Er...I don't know...I guess I'll have to find out." he finally decided to lie, trying to sound as truthful as possible.
"Ok, but you have to tell us everything." James demanded.
"Er...right." Remus then decided that never again would he let anyone read his mail before him.
He spent his spare time in between classes thinking of what it was that Dumbledore had, and what he was going to tell the guys. He even got yelled at in Potions for not paying attention...he was too busy thinking.
"Shoot...my first day of classes, and my teachers already think I don't pay attention."
But after thinking that he decided it was ok, because with the group he was hanging with, he was sure to get the title 'trouble maker' anyways.
As soon as his classes were over, he ran up to the common room, dropped off his things, and then dashed out to the lake out front, after yelling
"See ya!" to James, Sirius, and Peter. He stood out side the front doors, and looked out at the calm, midnight blue water, and saw Dumbledore standing there next to it. He dashed eagerly, and nervously towards Dumbledore, and stopped right in front of him. Dumbledore then looked around, and seeing that the grounds were empty of students, he told Remus,
"Follow me."
"Yes sir." Remus croaked nervously.
"See that tree over there? It's about your height."
"Yes sir."
"I've planted that recently, for your sake."
"...Uuuuhhhhh"
"Watch carefully, you need to remember everything I tell you tonight."
"Yes sir."
At this point Remus was so confused, he didn't know what to ask first...How could a tree help him? As Dumbledore walked up to the tree, he stuck his staff out towards it. The tree began to move, batting at the staff, attempting to rip it to shreds!
"Whoa!" Remus said jumping back.
Dumbledore then gently poked a knot on the tree, and the tree froze, making it possible to see a small passageway. Dumbledore led him down the stone passageway for some time, until they came to a large room at the end. There was a small flight of stairs at one end of the room, which he followed Dumbledore up. It led to a much smaller room, with a rug on the floor, and a comfy bed in the corner. He couldn't help but think about how welcoming and warm it felt, even though it was underground. Dumbledore told him,

"Now, this is where you are to come, as soon as your classes are over every night of the full moon. You must come quickly, and lock yourself in this room, I do not want to take any chances. This is where you will stay until you regain yourself. I have excused you from one day of classes a month, so you may have time to recover from the night, but you must not enter the castle, until you are fully recovered. Do you understand?""Yes sir ...thank you."
A smile danced across Dumbledore's face as he said,
"For what?"
He winked and led Remus out of the passageway, and next to the tree.
When they finally got there, it was very dark outside, and everything was shadowed.
"Now I assume there are some people who are going to ask you what we have done tonight?" Dumbledore asked wisely.
"Er...yeah, I haven't figured that one out yet."
"You can tell them that you need to take extra classes with me once a month. If you wish, you can tell those you trust the truth, but use caution."
"Er...ok."
Although he said ok, Remus thought Dumbledore was crazy to think that he would ever want anyone to know, he would try as hard as he could to make sure no one found out.
The next couple weeks were full of worry and fun at the same time. He had a blast with the others, screwing around, and pestering other kids, but he was also constantly worrying about what would happen on the next full moon.
Currently, they were trying to think of a way to penetrate the wall in front of the girls' sleeping area, when someone interrupted their thoughts.
"What are you doing!"
"None of your business!" James decided that it was ok to answer like that, because it was just a girl, not a teacher, or a prefect.
She was a pretty good- looking girl, with bright blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair.
"But I thought you said something about the girls dormitory, and your not allowed in there!"
"No duh, who ever said we were going into the girls dormitory anyway?" Sirius asked.
"Well I just figured...I mean, you guys... aren't you guys usually getting into trouble?...I just figured..."
"Well don't. Now go away." James interrupted.
She rolled her eyes and walked away, when James muttered something that tripped her, and made her fall flat on her face. She looked back and Remus took this as a chance to apologize, so he smiled shyly, and gave her a look of sympathy.
Surprised but glad, the girl smiled back.
"What's she smiling for!" James asked furiously.
Remus slumped in his chair with a guilty look on his face. James eyed him carefully, and then went back to his work on penetrating the girls' border, but Remus wasn't listening, he was worrying about the guys, they seemed to accept him into the group, but when he told them that he was taking extra classes with Dumbledore, they seemeda little suspicious.
"OH CRAP!" he just remembered, tonight was a full moon!
He was so busy worrying about the night, he forgot that the night was tonight!
"Crud! Guys, I've got to go! I'm going to be late for my, er...class...see ya!"
"Uh..."Remus dashed off towards the front grounds. As he dashed out he saw the sun setting, with a red sky behind it.
"crud. I better get in there."
As he stood in front of the 'whomping willow' (which Dumbledore cleverly named) he could only hope he would make it down the tunnel, and lock himself in
the room before the moon began to rise.
