When I woke up the next morning, everyone else was still asleep. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was just coming up. I guess I wake up early often. I stood up quietly and left the dorm. I grabbed a book on the way out. I went down to the common room and sat on the couch. I read my book as two or three more kids came down. I felt the couch sink a bit and looked up to see James Potter and Sirius Black sitting there. "Yes?" I asked.

"What were you doing in our dorm last night with Remus? Tell us, or we will assume the worst." Sirius Black asked. We are eleven years olds, what is the worst he can assume. I closed my book.

"I am one of Remus' friends, we are allowed to talk to each other." I said. Potter tilted his head like a confused puppy.

"Why were you in our dorm and not yours?" He asked. I sighed quietly.

"Because one of my dorm mates I want to strangle." I told them. Just then, Capella Black ran down the stairs.

"Love you too, Marley!" Capella yelled, then left the common room. I felt my fists clench as I opened my book and continued reading.

"Oh, I still feel bad for you." Black said. I nodded.

"I heard she attacked you and Loopy the other day." Potter said. I shut my book quickly and stood up.

"He is not Loopy, so you can shut up. She didn't attack me, only Remus for your information. You are his roommates. If I hear that you hurt him, you do not want what will come after that." I said. They both looked shocked as I headed towards the exit. Before I left, I turned back to them. "Goodbye to the both of you." I said. I marched out of the common room and went to eat breakfast. I sat down at the table and ate, putting an apple in my pocket in case I were to get hungry later. I saw some on approaching me out of the corner of my eye. "Capella. Now is not the time."

"I know, I can see it on your face. Don't you think that is exactly why I came now?" She said. I rolled my eyes and ignored her. She continued speaking, trying to get my attention, but I just ignored her. I continued ignoring her until she pushed me off the bench and I fell on my back hard on the floor. The air got knocked out of me and I gasped for breath for a couple seconds. When it came back to me, I stood up and left. I had finished my breakfast, so I didn't mind leaving. I left the Great Hall and walked past two people I talked to earlier. As I quickly walked by them, they moved a couple feet away from me. I went down to the lake and decide to sit in a tree. However, I saw something on the ground. I slowly climbed down the tree and placed my book beside it. I walked slowly up to what I saw. It was a small, fluffy, custard-colored ball. I knelt down and looked a bit closer. Suddenly, two eyes opened on it. The ball came over to me and I placed my hands down slowly, allowing it to come up. Once it did, I raised my hands up and brought it level to my face. After about half a minute, I realized what it was. It was a puffskein.

"You are adorable!" I told them. They kind of cuddled into my hands and I laughed a bit. I gave it a small hug. "I would love to keep you, but you live in the forest, don't you?" I asked. It made a motion as if it were shaking his head. "Do you live here?" I asked. It shook his head. "Where is your family?" I asked. It's eyes looked down at my hand. It shook his head. I gave it another head. "Would you mind if you stayed with me for a bit?" His eyes shot back up and looked at me. I smiled. "Cool! I need to think of a name for you, don't I?" I sat down criss cross against the tree, the puffskein still in my hands. "How about… Bernard?" I asked. His eyes looked at me like I was crazy. I laughed. "Kidding, kidding." I continued suggesting names, but he didn't agree. I do not have the name giving talent that me brother does. "Ummm… Fluffers?" I said. The puffskein let out a noise that sounded like a sigh, but then nodded. I cheered for a second. "Ok Fluffers, I say we get back to the castle." I said. I stood up and started walking. Once I got to the castle, I hid Fluffers in my pocket, who didn't object to it at all. I walked into the building and back up to my dorm. Once I got there, I let Fluffers out on my bed. Mr. Wrinkles slowly approached him, and I got a bit nervous. I sat down next to Fluffers, ready to grab him at any moment. Mr. Wrinkles sniffed him slightly, and after a few minutes of intense staring, Mr. Wrinkles sat down next to him. Fluffers cuddled into Mr. Wrinkles skin and Mr. Wrinkles looked as if he were determined to protect Fluffers from anything. All of a sudden, Dashia ran into the room. I hid Fluffers with the help of Mr. Wrinkles as Dashia started talking.

"Why do James Potter and Sirius Black keep asking where you are?" Dashia asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know." I said simply. It was the truth, just left out a couple of details.

"What did you do?" Dashia asked. I held my hands up in defense.

"I'm innocent! They approached me asking about Remus." I told her. She gave me a look that said, 'Tell me the whole truth now or else'. "Fine, fine, instead of referring to him as Remus or Lupin, they called him Loopy and I may have stood up angrily and told them never to do it again. Maybe." I explained. She stared at me for a minute and then started laughing.

"I thought it was a bad thing! Remus! Lily! Come on!" Dashia said. Remus and Lily came in. Remus was looking at me, a bit upset. Lily was smiling a bit. I frowned at Remus. I mouthed sorry.

"Quinn, did you eat breakfast?" Lily asked. I nodded. I felt Fluffers moving around.

"Could I talk to Remus for a couple of minutes? Just need to ask him something." I said. Dashia and Lily looked at each other, than me, than Remus. Dashia looked like she was about to protest, but Lily dragged her out of the room by the arm before she could.

"Go ahead! We can wait in the common room!" Lily said cheerfully. They left and I turned to Remus.

"I think Lily thinks we like each other." I told him. He laughed a bit. "I'm not joking!" I said. He rolled his eyes and came over.

"What did you need?" He asked. I moved aside and revealed Fluffers. "Quinn…" Remus said, surprised and staring at Fluffers.

"Yes?" I responded.

"Why do you have a puffskein?" Remus said slowly.

"Yes." I replied, not wanting to answer. Remus sighed.

"Are you allowed to have a puffskein? Or did you find him outside and declared him yours?" Remus asked.

"Well, I saw a small ball of fur outside and it was adorable and he said he didn't live around here and he had no family and he is adorable and his name is Fluffers." I said, all in one breath. Remus looked up at me.

"Fluffers?" Remus asked. I nodded and Fluffers, who was now in my hands, did a motion like he was nodding. Remus laughed a bit at that. "Well, as long as Fluffers is safe I guess. By any chance… could you take off your wig for a second?" Remus asked. I looked at the door. "They aren't there. They went away." Remus said.

"How do you do that?!" I asked.

"Did you actually research about werewolves? Or just read over the book and only take in the word 'werewolf'?" Remus asked. I glared at him. "Anyways, I have enhanced hearing, smell and stuff like that. I can either hear if someone were coming, or I could catch on to their scent." Remus told me. "Oh, and if you were wondering, Capella smells horrible. Rotten eggs, disgusting. While Lily and Dashia smell safe and trusting. You smell safe and trusting, but also many other things." Remus explained. I laughed a bit.

"Capella's makes sense." I said simply. He nodded and laughed with me. Although, he quickly stopped.

"I'm going to hide on your bed, you act normal. Capella is coming up." Remus said. I quickly got off the bed and wrapped the curtain around it.
