Hey,

Sorry it took so long to update, my mum decided to ban me from the computer because I spent - so much time on it so I've been writing them all down and I have the next three chapters done, it's gettign the time to type them thats the problem.

Please Review!


The school found it very romantic that Hannah and Remus were dating, well if you exclude all the boys they did.

They boys would go around acting like everything was normal, but the girls would sigh at the slight mention of it.

'It's so romantic' mimicked Isy, who was imitating a small group of Hufflepuff girls.

'You're just jealous' said Lily.

'Of what? Everyone watching my every move or everyone knowing what I did with my boyfriend last night' said Isy, looking at Lily in disbelief.

'No' laughed Lily 'the fact that you don't have a boyfriend.'

'Slack!' shouted Isy 'everyone hates being single.'

'You got that right' said Emma.

'Oh you be quiet' said Isy jokingly 'your boyfriend is a marauder, THE marauder in fact and he hasn't dumped you yet.'

Emma laughed uneasily, she hadn't told anyone about that Potions lesson and she made Chloe swear that she wouldn't. In fact, Emma was waiting for the day that Sirius would dump her, or cheat on her, but the day never came and she was very grateful.


'Now today' said Professor Lindsay loudly to get the classes attention 'we will be doing the Patronus, they are NEWT level and well . . . you are in year five, so you are a bit ahead . . .'

Professor Lindsay was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and was a bit – well – different. She would sate the obvious and then completely go off the point. But compared to Professor Trelawney she was completely normal. Only James, Sirius and Emma took Divination. James and Sirius took it because it was a skive and Emma took it because her mother made her, Chloe had to do it too- in fact all the Greene children had to.

'Just shout Expecto Patronum while thinking of your happiest memory, in pairs please' she shouted.

All through the classroom you could hear the sounds of people shouting, bumping into each other and falling over. Despite the bad start, everyone had managed to do it by the end and they were all given homework – "What is the form of your Patronus? Why are they used and what was the memory you used to perform the Patronus?"

They all trudged back to the common room to start their homework and try finish it by Thursday- it was Tuesday.

James and Sirius stood over the girls, trying to read their answers.

'Why did girls have to be so protective of their homework?' thought James.

'Emma's says my name!' shrieked Sirius as he grabbed her parchment.

'Shrink your head Sirius' she snapped 'your just in my memory' she said as she tried to get her parchment back.

'Your Patronus is a dog/wolf thing?' he asked, surprised.

'Yeah I don't know why, I don't have a dog, not that I don't like them' she said, puzzled.

The Marauders all smirked at each other.

'Why are you all looking at me like that?' she demanded.

'No reason' said Remus quickly, he didn't want his secret spilled 'what does the book say each animal mean?'

'The book says' she started, quoting the book 'it has not particular significance of importance but very rarely it will mean that the person you love is an Animagus or you are the Animagus of that form.'

Remus paled, why did he have to ask? But Emma, or anybody else for that matter, had taken no notice to the last sentence she had read and continued their homework.

Sirius however was grinning ear-to-ear with pleasure.

'Marauders meeting' shouted Sirius and he quickly ran up the stairs to the boy's dormitory.

'Since when have we had "Marauders Meetings?" asked Remus curiously.

'I think it was a spur of the moment thing' squeaked Peter as he followed James and Remus up the stairs.

'Can I please tell her?' asked Sirius the minute his three best friends walked in.

'No' said Remus firmly 'I'm sorry but she'll most probably tell Lily and Isy and Hannah and I don't want her to know yet.'

'But what if I made her swear not to tell anyone, she would understand' pleaded Sirius.

'I think it's time you told Hannah anyway' said James.

'I knew you would take his side, I don't want anyone knowing, this is how it starts' Remus said quietly as he sat on his bed and looked up at his friends.

'Why don't you just say that were all Animagus' suggested Peter.

'Because she'll think it's too dangerous and want to know why we would do such a thing' said Sirius glumly 'don't you understand Moony, that this is the first girl I have loved, it's like if James and Lily got together and James overheard her telling someone she loves him. Please – I know her, she won't tell anyone.'

'You have known her for five years too, you know she wouldn't do anything like that' said James.

'OK, but she can't tell anyone, should we all be here with you?' asked Remus, finally giving in.

'Maybe, for support, I'll go get her' he said. James could tell he was nervous, he voice wobbled and he didn't walk in a straight line.

When Emma came in she looked around 'what's going on?' she asked uneasily.

Thankfully Remus had it under control because Sirius was staring open mouthed into space.

'What is the explanation for having a Patronus that means something?'

Emma stared at him 'when your love is an Animagus your Patronus will take that shape.'

'Well I'm a werewolf' he said quietly, and closed his eyes. He was waiting for the scream and shrieking – but none came.

'Remus, I'm so sorry, my Uncle is also a werewolf, he was just recently bitten, I fell so bad, are you Ok?'

'I'm fine thank you' he said relieved 'but I wanted to tell you because well um . . .' Remus stopped; he had no idea what to say.

'We found out in our third year' continued James 'and we wanted to help, so we all decided to become animagi, that's where we go every month.'

Emma said nothing and suddenly she realized 'Sirius? Are you a dog when you change?'

He nodded, waiting for a reaction.

She wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him, after a while they broke apart.

'You're a great friend to have, Remus should be proud of all of you.'

'I love you' he whispered gently in her ear.

'I love you too' she said and gently kissed him on the lips.


Please Review, next chapter should be up soon but I have no idea.
