I have a special thank you to pillowwolfpup for all her reviews to Surface Color and Cheetah Girl. Thank you very much that you love my stories so much and that you reviewed them.
Now I am so sry I couldn't update for awhile. I am going to say that the people of SUCK! They took off my leading review story because it had one, counting one, aurthor's note in it. I have seen others with maybe 3! I am very pissed off at that and they locked off my account for a week! So I'm voiceing that was unfair in their prosacution of my fanfic when they took it off and locked down my account.
For weeks after the Great Hall incident gossip, rumors, and death glares at Sirius soared through the air at Hogwarts. If it was possible Lily had become even scarcer to the point she showed up for classes most of the time, and Head meetings.
Other than that she was nowhere to be found. At one point James grew frustrated in his attempts at finding her that he got out the Marauders Map and looked for her on it.
He had tried it but instead, in emerald green ink words had appeared, "nice try Potter" and the map had resumed its normal looks. James had been astonished that Lily had been able to tap into the Map's power.
James had tried to follow her but she had easily lost him in Hogwarts maze of corridors. But full moon approached and the Marauders had to get ready for it. Remus was already in the hospital wing too weak to walk and sick with the side effects of the full moon.
Finally the night came James and Sirius (um…Peter is um… in a muggle hospital…um… getting a sex change so he can be Michael Jackson's twin, the dream he has had for all his life so he isn't at Hogwarts) slipped on the invisibility cloak and snuck inside the Whooping Willow to wait for Remus' change.
5 hours later
It had been a great time for the three. Remus had been relativity lucid so they had been able to explore all of Hogsmeade and even up by the mountain. They were heading back towards the Shrieking Shack when Remus stopped and went rigid.
Both Sirius smelt it a second to late, the scent of blood. Remus went wild and knocked James down, who had tried to hold him, and took off for the center of the village. James got up and raced after him with Sirius right behind him.
They reached the village and saw someone come around the corner. James' mind froze. No hell no. It was Lily. The one time he didn't want to find her she found him and a werewolf. James spotted the cut on Lily's arm that was slightly dripping blood and found Remus' attraction.
Lily looked up when she heard the pounding of hooves and paws to see Remus the werewolf barreling towards her. She cursed and put her hands up just as Remus reached her. Remus ran into an invisible barrier but animal instinct had him ramming it again.
Dust flew into the air as Lily was shoved back with Remus still ramming her shield. Suddenly there was a cracking sound and Remus broke the shield. Lily jumped as Remus ran forward and vaulted on the wolf's shoulders as he tried to take a bite out of her.
When she landed all James and Sirius could do was stare. Instead of Lily there was a black panther, sleek and powerful, with a red sheen the same color as Lily's hair in the moonlight. Remus turned and the panther and werewolf fought for dominance.
Finally Lily did something and Remus collapsed, unconscious on the ground. Two other panthers came out of the shadows, the smaller one with a dark blue sheen on black fur, and the other with a tawny sheen over black fur.
Lily sent them a look that asked if they were going to just stand there or help and they went over. Between the three panthers and Sirius and James they got Remus into the Shrieking Shack as the first rays of dawn pierced the blanket of night.
Remus made a noise between a human scream and a howl and Lily nudged him with her nose. The noise whispered down as Remus convulsed back into his human form. He was unconscious and panting but otherwise he looked fine.
Lily straightened and looked James and Sirius dead in the eyes, "I hope I don't have to tell you idiots that if word of this gets out the shit is going to hit the fan and I won't be the one to go to Azkaban." Surprised at her voice in their heads they made animal nods.
Lily motioned to the other panthers and they left the Shrieking Shack with not even a whisper of noise. James and Sirius stayed until Madam Leper came to get Remus then they slipped inside Hogwarts.
By unspoken agreement they both entered the Head Common Room. Lily was lying on the couch with her bare feet propped up on the back, the fire going full blast. They cautiously made their way over to her and presumed her sleeping when, without opening her eyes, she said,
"Remus will be fine. I merely clawed him in a nerve to knock him out. No damage done though he will be more tired than normal since the wolf took over." Sirius was suspicious, "how the hell do you know this and why didn't we know you were an anagmi (I beg of anyone who takes pity on me to tell me how the hell to spell that. I am as lazy as they come so I don't feel like looking it up.)."
Lily opened one eye to look at him, "I know because I have studied the subject thoroughly and wolf or no he still has some of the same nerves people have so I know where to hit. You didn't know I was an anagmi because I was one before I came here and I didn't want you to know."
She then yawned and stretched then sat up. James felt heat pull in his gut at the sight of her sleepy eyed and ruffled. He shook off the desire, not the girl for that, he remembered. "Now if you two are done I'm going to catch some sleep before classes so you two-" she broke off abruptly as something came through the air. It was faint but familiar. She just couldn't put a finger on it.
"What is it?" James asked the suddenly still Lily. She shook her head, "nothing, good night." With that she left the puzzled boys in the common room.
Some odd miles awayVoldermort twirled his wand. That had been close. Too close. She had nearly caught on to him. His beloved cousin couldn't know he was coming or else she would stop him. If anyone could stop it was his cousin.
He sighed wearily. Sometimes he wished his cousin were on the dark side so he could have some company he trusted. Then he wished he wasn't on the dark side so he could be by her side since he knew that she could not be on the dark side.
Voldermort shook off the mood and left the room to make sure preparations were on schedule.
