Sirius looked over from gnawing on his bone he'd stolen at dinner up at Remus who was trying to pounce on Peter. James was sitting in the corner watching.

Remus finally stopped his game and looked over. We go? Howl night? Dark trees? He asked in small yips. There was no language between them so no coherent sentences could be formed. Only a few words to represent things. Howl night and dark trees meant he wanted to go romp through the forest.

Sirius stood and wagged his tail. James?

The stag stood and nodded. Let's go. Peter? He dipped his head down so Peter could climb onto his antlers and hold on before Remus darted towards the door.

Sirius snapped at him, and like an adult would yell at a child, the effect was instantaneous. The wolf stepped back, tail hiding between his legs and head lowered.

Wait turn. Sirius growled softly. They had to act like adults when Remus was a werewolf because he lost total control of his mind. He acted like a kid until he got too close to something and went nuts.

James went first down the tunnel, to make sure no one was around and so Sirius could follow Remus. In case Remus tried to dart out of the tunnel, he could grab a hold of his tail or leg and hold him back.

James peered out of the hole and looked back.

All clear.

Let's go.

As they clambered out of the hole, James jumped into the forest, Remus trotting after him, body quivering in excitement. His chocolate eyes kept darting to Sirius, asking permission to run. After checking the area to make sure no one was there, Sirius grinned and wagged.

Go. Run. Howl night.

Remus let out a long howl before he sprung forward, Sirius and James on either side of him, darting around trees, startling animals.

Remus looked like the basic wolf, except for the fact that his paws were heavier and had sharper claws and his ears were more to the side of his head. His snout was also a little longer. He was covered in a thick soft brown coat, the color of his human hair.

Remus let loose another short howl before leaping over a log and splashing through a stream. Sirius grinned as he followed before shaking out on the other side, James sending a smirk because only the bottoms of his legs got wet, none of his body. Sirius snapped at his fore hoof and he trotted away.

Remus suddenly paused and turned to Sirius, hopping from paw to paw. Race? Fast? Now?

Sirius grinned. Race fast now.

They stood shoulder to shoulder until James stomped on the ground before they tore through the forest, darting around trees and hoping over fallen branches. They burst through the lining of trees, barking and howling, tongues lolling and chests heavily before realizing something else was in the clearing.

Immediately trying to stop, they skidded a few feet, a jumble of paws, legs, and tails, before finally stopping and looking up at the huge herd of centaurs, who all looked a little more than startled at their appearance. James trotted in a moment later, panting before blinking and taking a step back, seeing the centaurs.

"What are you doing in our homelands?" One cried.

"You do not belong!"

"It's a werewolf!"

"But along side are a dog and a stag."

Remus stumbled to his feet, stepping back and looking worried. Even though many people said a werewolf was a bloodthirsty killer, he acted like a puppy, not knowing his strength at some times but also having that cave of fear.

Sirius growled at the centaurs as they got closer. Stop! He barked and sure enough they did.

"What are you doing here?" The first repeated. "These are our homelands."

Travel too far. James snorted. Not know.

"Well we kill all trespassers." A black one snapped.

We leave. James said backing up, Remus following closely, tail between his legs. Sirius growled at them again. Now! James snapped and Sirius turned and followed after them.

They returned to the stream and crossed it looking back before Remus shook himself.

Close. Sirius sighed.

Remember no cross water. James replied with a nod towards the stream that Remus was playing in.

Watching the werewolf tumble in the water and try to catch the fish swimming by he smiled. Remus never acted like a kid since he became a werewolf. It was irony that when he was a werewolf he acted like a kid.

Stretching, he settled himself on the bank of the stream to watch Remus until they had to return to the shack.

Yawning, Sirius tried to stay awake during Transfiguration. Something poked him and he turned to see Kadasa cocking her head.

You okay? She mouthed. He nodded and shut his eyes before snapping them open. She grinned and put up four fingers. He blinked then nodded.

History of Magic was in 4 hours then he could sleep for an hour. They hadn't gotten back to the shack till 4 in the morning and it had taken almost a half an hour to get Remus to settle down and stay in the shack. Then they didn't get to the dorms till almost 5 so he'd only gotten an hour and a half of sleep this morning.

"Mr. Black!" He jumped and looked up at Professor McGonagall. "Have you been paying attention?" He nodded. "Then what is the spell we just finished practicing?"

He blinked and glanced down at his paper where notes were that he couldn't remember writing. "Uh… sonorus… it makes something louder."

She nodded. "Good." She started lecturing again and Sirius glanced at Kadasa who winked. The notes had been used by the spell Lily found to write letters to each other during class on different sheets of paper. She had made the spell on her sheets and put one in front of him while he was daydreaming so when she wrote her notes they appeared in front of him.

He picked up his quill and wrote on the top of the page. She was in the middle of writing a sentence when she paused and looked up at the top of her page then rolled her eyes and continued writing.

Thanks love. I knew you'd make the perfect wife. Whatta ya say?

He grinned and picked up his own quill, copying down the notes on another sheet of paper. It was easier if you didn't have to listen and just copy the notes. Saved a lot of brain power.

"Sirius…" He blinked and looked up at Kadasa who was standing, but her head was parallel to his.

"Huh?" He asked.

She giggled. "Class is over."

He sat up and looked around seeing an empty classroom. "Oh…"

She smiled. "Come on. I'll let you copy my notes."

He frowned. "Why are you being so nice?" She just smiled and didn't say anything. "Kadasa…"

"Come on Sirius. We have to go back to the tower before James thinks something happened."

He just nodded holding his head. "Sleepy…"

She giggled. "Sleep later."

He nodded and followed after her. That was the only bad thing about full moons. He was so tired afterwards.
