A/N: Merlin! Plot bunnies have invaded my mind, and I can no longer think of new stories! I'm done writing this one and I'm not making a sequel. I started writing a Lily and James fanfiction but I lost my inspiration and can no longer write it. I had a good idea for another one and I wrote two thousand words, then lost inspiration too! Well, without further ado, the next chapter of Connect the Dots!
….
He wouldn't take his lips off of hers. Sirius opened his eyes for a few seconds to see the look on her face, and then closed his eyes again.
Taryn was so shocked that he had kissed her that she didn't even noticed when he slowly slid his tongue into her mouth, his arms held tightly around her. Even if she wanted to, she couldn'tve pulled away. But she didn't want to.
Sirius slid his tongue back into his mouth but left his lips on hers for a few more seconds.
"How did that feel?" he asked, letting go off her.
"It felt-" she ran out of the room so she wouldn't have to answer to his face.
….
She avoided him until History of Hogwarts class on Monday. It was the last class of the day. When she was sure Professor Binns wasn't looking, she ripped off a piece of parchment and scribbed some words onto it.
Taryn tossed the note to Sirius, who missed it and had no choice but to just watch as it was picked up by Severus Snape and read.
He read the note and snickered, throwing it into the air, and letting it be caught by some more Slytherins.
By the time it got to Sirius, all the Slytherins in class had read it without Professor Binns noticing.
Sirius unfolded the paper. The words were sort of smudged, but he made out that it said, "It felt warm, happy, extraordinary and wonderful. It was the most pleasureful experience in my life. It was the best kiss anyone ever gave me."
He looked over at Taryn and smiled. She smiled back and whispered. "But that doesn't mean that I don't still hate you. It just means you're a good kisser."
Sirius nodded in understandment. "And I still hate you too, babe."
Taryn grinned. "Good." She whispered back, and punched his arm.
….
She walked into the common room. She didn't feel like eating dinner, so she went to the common room and sat down on the couch.
Taryn looked around the empty common room. There was one other person there…. She stood up and walked over to them. Once she was closer, she realized that he was Remus Lupin, looking sort of pale and sick. "You okay, Remus?" she asked.
Remus nodded. "Yeah…"
"You don't look it." She said down next to him.
"I must've ate something bad for dinner."
"But you didn't even eat dinner."
"Yeah, well… I'll be all right, okay? Please don't try to help me."
"Well… okay." She hugged him, and stood up. "Bye."
….
That night, Taryn fell asleep on the couch but was awaken by the sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes to see that Remus was walking downstairs with Snuffles and a stag. She raised an eyebrow. That was the oddest group she had ever seen in her life.
She didn't say anything, hoping they wouldn't notice her because of the darkness. Dogs saw black and white, which probably meant that they had bad vision, and Remus probably had bad vision because of his sickness. And the stag, she had no idea about.
As they walked by, she asked herself where they were going, and why when Remus wasn't feeling well.
They didn't notice her! How stupid of them! She tried not to laugh in triumph, and managed to hold it in until they left the common room.
Taryn burst out laughing. "They didn't notice me!"
She grinned, standing up and walking out of the common room, to see where they were going.
Taryn saw them at the end of the corridor. They were walking, walking, walking… and then were gone, and she was pretty sure that they didn't just turn a corner.
She ran farther to catch up with where they were. She could hear their footsteps but couldn't see them. Where did they go?
Taryn followed the sound of small footsteps walking out of the castle. She stepped into the cold air, and immediately hugged herself. It was a cold night.
The footsteps were harder to hear now, but she followed the sight of footsteps on the snow. She hoped they wouldn't see her footsteps.
When Snuffles turned around, she froze, not moving. Maybe he wouldn't see her. It was extremely dark… and he didn't see her!
She kept following them, until the reached the Womping Willow, that tree that had been planted there a few years ago for a reason she did not know. Why were they going to it? And… they were going into it?
She had a bad experience with that tree. It had broken her arm, and she didn't expect to ever get hurt by it again.
Taryn held her breath and followed in 10 seconds after them. They were deep inside already, and through the darkness, she could make out furniture.
Where was she? She sighed, watching them.
"What? Who-" Remus turned around, and then suddenly jumped back. "Taryn! Get out! Now!"
"Why? Where are we, and why are they…"
Remus turned around. He howled.
Taryn blinked. "Remus…"
He turned back around. His face was covered with gray hair and so were his hands.
Taryn stood there, watching him turn into a werewolf.
….
Lily woke up at the sound of a howl in the far distance. She looked over at Taryn's bed and saw she wasn't there. "Bloody h-" She ran out of the dormitory and then out of the common room. Where was Professor Dumbledore? She needed to tell him right away that Taryn was in danger….
"Dumbledore!" She whispered loudly, knocking on the door of his office.
"Miss Evans, what is wrong?" Dumbledore opened the door.
"Taryn… werewolf… NOW!"
….
Taryn screamed, watching Remus look at her with an angry, inhuman, werewolf look on his werewolf face. She didn't say a word, and was too scared to run away.
"Taryn!" called Sirius' voice. "Move back slowly…"
How had Sirius gotten there without her noticing? She moved back… and then the werewolf in front of her let out another howl and tackled her to the ground. No…
Before she even had time to realize what happened, she could see Sirius turn into Snuffles and push Remus away from her.
Taryn was breathing very quickly and was watching everything and trying her best to not faint of sleepiness, shock and just too many thoughts in her mind at once. She watched them wrestle, still not really getting what was happening. She was of course, seeing it, and knowing what was happening but not really what and why. Get it? If you don't know, that's only a hundredth as confused as Taryn was.
Eventually, Sirius was tossed aside to the corner of the room, and Remus was running upstairs. Taryn ran over to Sirius, who was slowly turning human. "Sirius!"
He didn't answer, but he was still conscience.
"You… you saved me."
He nodded, still not saying anything.
"You… saved me." She repeated.
He was still silent.
He wanted something, and was just sitting there and waiting for it. And suddenly Taryn realized what it was. She leaned down and kissed him passionately.
