Ch.16: I'm a Werewolf
Morning came and along with it so did the glaring sun, which seeped into Lily's emerald eyes. She woke up and stirred softly, pulling the covers over her eyes to block out the evil glare.
"School," She thought to her self as she pulled her self out of bed. She walked to the bathroom lazily and got into the shower. She soon was done and dressed. Lily usually took more time in doing her hair but today was different. She felt different, no it wasn't the fact that her James were now together, but a different feeling, a feeling of fear. She had a bad feeling as if something bad was going to happen. Lily put her thoughts aside as she came down the stairs and saw James sitting on the sofa.
"Morning," James said as he hugged and kissed lily on the cheek.
"Morning, how are you?" Lily asked now with a more up beat tone.
"Good and you?"
"Fine. . ." Lily said softly and her thoughts of what were to come came back into her conscious. James looked at her curiously.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Oh nothing, I was just thinking."
"About?"
"Oh I don't know, today seems weird, I feel like something bad is going to happen, but I don't know what."
"Really, well I'm sure nothing bad will happen." James reassured.
"Yeah, you're probably right. Let's go down to breakfast." Lily suggested. James took Lily's hand and walked to the Great Hall.
"So have you thought about what you want to do for the talent show?"
Lily asked, now realizing that the show was in two moths.
"What? Oh the show. I forgot about that."
"Yeah, we are supposed to do something together."
"Well what would you like to do?" James asked, realizing he really didn't know what to do.
"We could dance, or sing, or something." Lily suggested.
"What kind of dancing and singing?"
"Oh I don't know we could ask Remus if he has any song that we could sing, well that is if you're a good singer."
"I' am a good singer; just ask Remus, he's heard me." James said proudly.
"The question is whether you're a good singer."
"We, I do sing, but I haven't sung much in front of large crowds, but have sung and I think I'm alright."
"Well let's ask Remus." James said. They walked into the Great Hall and found Remus and the others sitting at the Gryffindor table. They were all looking at something.
"Hey guys, what's up?" James said as he walked up to them. They all turned around.
"Hey Prongs." Sirius greeted.
"Nothing much, so the holidays are coming up, what are all of you doing." Emily said starting up a conversation.
"Work," Alicia said.
"I'm going to France." Peter said.
"You always go to a different country." Remus pointed out.
"What are you doing Remus?" Emily asked
"Either I'll go home or stay here, depending on what my parents are doing. They were thinking of taking a trip to Italy, and unfortunately there isn't a facility there to transform in, it's a muggle resort, so I'll probably stay here." Remus said sadly.
"Well don't worry, you should come home with me and James, I'm sure Mrs. Potter won't mind, right James?" Sirius asked now turning to him.
"Uh yeah I just have to ask." He responded.
"What about you Lily?"
"I don't know, I might go home, or stay here, do some work." Lily said
"What about you Emily?" Remus asked.
"Staying here, don't really want to go back to my Aunt and Uncle's place." She said.
"What about your parents?" Peter asked.
"Oh um my Parents died last year." She said softly.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know." Peter said.
"It's okay you're the first." She said.
"Oh my gosh why didn't you say anything?" Alicia asked concernedly.
"Because it was sudden and it was right during the holidays and all of you were busy with family, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it."
"How did they die, if you don't mind me asking?" Alicia asked.
"Well, the truth is, is that . . ." she began, and then paused.
"The truth is what?"
"Alright, well, Remus don't be angry that I didn't tell you, but the fact is, is that I'm a Werewolf." Emily whispered quietly, very quietly. Remus's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.
"You are?" Remus asked shocked.
"Yeah, last year Death eaters came to my house, unfortunately on a full moon, while I was in my chamber. I came out the next morning injured as usual and they were gone and my house was destroyed, the auroras said that because I had transformed the death eaters didn't go after me, said being a werewolf saved my life." Emily explained.
"Apparently my parents weren't the only ones who were killed that night, it's sad to say though."
"Yeah," Remus said
"Remus what about your parents, didn't the pass away during the holiday?" Peter asked.
Remus looked up.
"Yeah,"
"I'm sorry when?" Emily asked.
"The same yours did, I think from what you said they died over the holiday."
The group was silent as Emily and Remus told their stories. Lily thought it was a planned attack, that night their parents died. Perhaps those who killed them did it for a reason, a reason which Remus and Emily didn't know. Perhaps the bad feeling lily had felt that morning was the fact that she found out about Emily and Remus's parents.
They all went to their Classes. The day passed by rather slowly, this made Lily tired. She and James headed back to their dormitory while Remus and Emily went to talk in the library.
─
"So why didn't you tell me earlier that you were a Werewolf?" Remus asked as he and Emily sat in the far corner of the Library.
"Well I didn't know you were one up until yesterday." She responded
"Yeah, but why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"I don't know, I guess I didn't want say anything, I don't know why."
"Well where do you transform? Does Dumbledore know?"
"Yes of course he knows. I transform in the school on the 3rd floor."
"Is that why it's forbidden?" Remus asked now understanding why student weren't allowed up there.
"Yeah, a silencing charm is put on the room, so no one can hear my screams and howls. I'm guessing you transform in the most haunted house in Britain?" Emily asked with a smile.
"Yup the shrieking shack. It's alright, I have a bed and piano and a window."
"A Piano, Do you play? Oh well I guess so seeing as you sing."
"Yeah, do you sing, because I hear and I know some other werewolves who sing?"
"Yeah I do actually, to my self and when I'm in my chamber. Every full moon, I'm a muscinian."
"Really?" Remus exclaimed surprised that he and she were both werewolves and muscinians.
"Why aren't you in the talent show? I imagine you're very good, considering."
"Yeah, but I don't know, I thought about it but I'm not sure if everyone would like my singing."
"I'm sire they would."
"Hey why don't you sing with me? It'll be fun, plus if you do it with me I won't have to be alone up there in front of everyone."
"I liked your solo piece though."
"Thanks, but doing a piece with you would be fun."
"Okay, I think Lily and James wanted to do a piece together for their talent, Lily wanted to know if you could help her and James. She told me this in Transfiguration."
"Sure why not, so will you do it with me?"
"You haven't heard me yet." Emily said.
"Well why don't we meet tonight, oh wait were transforming." Remus said.
"Yeah, how about tomorrow night on the third floor corridor in my chamber." She suggested.
"Uh how about the shrieking shack, coz I have a piano?"
"Alright. I'll see you then; well I'll see you tomorrow morning in the hospital wing." Emily said as she got up.
"I haven't seen you there for the last two months, where do you get healed?"
"Oh I sometimes heal my self if they are minor injuries, but I don't think this time I'll have minor injuries, so I'll see you then. I have to go meet with Lily and Alicia before I head to the third floor. Bye." With that Emily kissed Remus good night and left.
Remus then went to go meet up with the guys and figure out their night outing.
