Moony Excitement

Chapter 6

Disclaimer: Same as always if you're an idiot check chapter one!

James walked down the hall towards McGonnagal room. He had no clue how he was going to get out of this detention, but he would. He knocked on the Transfiguration room door.

"Come in!" called a strict voice. He opened the door,

"Your LATE!" Lily said accusingly.

"Your too uptight!" he responded.

"Well your Immature!"

"You have no life!"

"BOTH OF YOU!" McGonnagal yelled at them, "Stop it I will not put up with your bad behavior! You will start acting like your age! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" The two nodded their heads, "very well" Professor McGonnagal said in her taught voice. "Your detention today will be in the Owlery I need you to clean all of the Owls the hay and in general the whole Owlery needs to be spotless, this has never been set as a detention before, but hopefully it will teach you to stop fighting!" James groaned and Lily sighed her eyes downcast. "Before you go I'm going to give you permission to use your wands to clean the straw and replace it, but nothing else! And if you do use your wand for anything else I shall no and you don't want to know the consequences to that. The two nodded, "now go!" they scuttled out of the room.

James shut the door behind them, "So how about this detention!" Silence. "Brutal!"

"Yeah this would have never happened if you hadn't been such an ass!"

"Awww Lilykins don't say that," she rolled her eyes. There were still a few people roaming around and one of them grabbed her arm and she spun around.

"Lily!" a good-looking boy said. Oh my god Lily thought Nathaniel Runnington-he-was-so-hot!

"Y-yeah" she breathed, she had had a crush on him since the middle of last year he-was-so-beautiful. All the girls loved Nathaniel he was popular, good-looking, smart (he was in Ravenclaw), and his father was the Minister.

"I was wondering if you wanted to study with me tonight?" he asked. Lily almost fainted but James cut in,

"She can't." he said pulling her away. She frowned,

"Sorry detention, maybe some other night," she smiled. He smiled back and waved as she was dragged out of the hallway.

"Ahhh Potter why'd you have to do that!"

"You had detention!"

"I know but he is so damn gorgeous!"

"He isn't really I don't know what you see in him!"

Lily just sighed and was pulled upstairs, left with a feeling like she was floating on air. James on the other hand was becoming highly disgruntled.

---

James and Lily were panting by the time they got all the way upstairs; they paused for a second to catch their breath.

"What are we going to do first?" James asked as he was the first to recuperate (most likely due to Quiditch practices).

"You wanna just get the straw out of the way then we can use these rags and soap they left in the corner for us on the walls and floor." She told him,

"Alright lets go." He pulled Lily up from where she had been sitting on the floor and she used a cleaning spell to get rid of the dirty straw. "Very Nice!" James said in a voice just like their charms teacher. She laughed,

"How do you do that? That's an amazing imitation of him!"

"I'm just amazing!" James gloated, as Lily rolled her eyes.

"Come on now for the walls!"

--- 2 hours later (Lily)

"It-is-so-hard to clean with these BLOODY OWLS!" Lily said exasperatedly. "Their swooping and pooping and flying- only stupid people fly!"

"Hey!" James said in a playful voice.

"Exactly" Lily grinned. They worked a little longer until Lily was cleaning around the hole in the Owl's Tower that served as a window/a door for the owls to go in and out of. She looked out the window everything looked so serene and peaceful. The moon glowed big and round in the sky and the stars sparkled. Lily suddenly saw movement on the ground shadows were moving. James saw her staring,

"What is it?"

"What's that out there?" she asked. James cursed inside his head then checked his watch it was 12:15 he had gotten distracted! He turned to look at Lily.

"Lily, I really have to go!"
"what? We have detention!" Lily was sure it had something to do with the moving figures she'd seen, "You don't want to go out there do you?"

"No! Why would I do that?" he asked.

"I don't know?!" she exclaimed. James knew he had to improvise,

"Well you see I ah have to…" he started "finish some homework for Transfiguration!" James spat out "You know how McGonnagal gets!"

"So you want me just to finish this by myself?" Lily asked.

"NO!… well yes, but please understand I really need to get that homework done!"

She squinted her eyes at him, but she started to feel curious… if she let him go she could follow and see what he was up to… she made up her mind.

"Fine… GO."

"Thank you Lily I will never ever bother you again!"
"I doubt that." She muttered with a roll of her eyes. James sprinted out the door and she quietly followed him. He ran quite fast it made it hard for her to follow without being seen. He ran down the stairs and through a winding path of corridors, and ended out at the front door. He pushed it open and ran outside.

--- (James)

Thank god she had let him go, he felt like such a hypocrite he always said he was there for his friends, and look at him neglecting poor Moony the only time he ever asked for help! He pushed open the grand oak doors he was lucky they weren't locked he slipped out and looked for his friends. He saw them they were around the corner of the Castle he slipped into his animagus form and ran out to join them.

--- (Lily)

Lily walked out into the night there was no one in sight where'd James go? And why had he wanted to come out here? She was getting sort of scared now, she decided to turn back. Lily walked back towards the door (rather quickly) a howl sounded and her heart rate picked up she began to run. Then something hard hit her back she was stumbled over. She was pinned down on her back something was on top of her growling. Realization hit her, Werewolf! The howl that's all she could think in her total terror and shock. Nothing else hit her mind like why James had wanted to come out here if it was okay. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something black streak towards her. She was going to die she knew it. The werewolf was pushed off her back in a rush. She was so scared she could barely think about getting up but somehow she stumbled up. She glanced behind her she couldn't believe the scene before her. The dog had apparently bowled the werewolf off her back and was rolling around in a pile of teeth and claws on the ground now. A stag (as she later identified it as) ran in her direction and slammed into her pushing her back into the castle. She ran this whole experience was fairly terrifying, the werewolf had gotten out of the dogs clutches and was bolting at her it could run way faster then she could and was almost on top of her, so close in fact that some of its slobber fell onto her, there was no escaping this one. This time it was the stag who saved her, it had been trying to push Lily to run faster (it was an example of how scared she was that she didn't even wonder why a stag was so close to her in general) turned around but as it turned one of its antlers got caught on her ankle and brought her down. The stag free of Lily turned and started attacking the werewolf with its antlers. Lily lay they're not being able to get up her ankle was in severe pain and every time she tried to get up she'd stumble and fall. The dog came to the Stag's aid and once the werewolf was a good distance away and the two had it pinned down a small rat ran towards her. Eww she hated rats then in front of her materialized Peter Pettigrew.

"Evans come on we gotta get out of here." He yelled at her.

"I can't walk!" she screamed at him "my ankle"

"Shit!" Peter looked hurriedly at the staff, dog and werewolf mess. The dog actually seemed to roll his eyes at Peter then look at the stag. Who nodded got up and walked over to Peter and Lily, and then promptly turned into James. Now the werewolf was howling behind them the dog was struggling.

"Peter you idiot, help her up get her inside Padfoot can't hold off Moony forever!"

"But how-"

"Ahhg! I'll do it! Go do something useful!" James grabbed onto Lily who was still struggling to stand, put an arm around her and threw her over his back. She began to scream he ran as fast as he could to the door. Lily started kicking her good leg

"Put me down!" James didn't he walked up to the doors glanced behind him and calmly pushed them open and shut again. Then dumped Lily on the ground. She sat as far up as she could,

"Man you look pale!" James joked.

"Are you kidding me James! 'Man you look pale' is all you can say? What was THAT!"? James looked around him

"Can I trust you?" she eyed him, "other wise I can't answer your question," he reasoned with her.

"Fine." She agreed, "What was that?"

"That was Remus' little furry problem!"

"Remus- hes- a- a"

"Werewolf," James finished.

"Oh my god!"

"What?"

"I am so freaking out right now!" James laughed, "That's why you left! You went to play with a werewolf?"

"Sure if you want to put it that way."

"Oh my god!"

"WHAT NOW!"

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs the marauders aka the Werewolf the icky little rat the giant black dog and a idiotic deer with extremely sharp antlers!" she said pointing to a cut on her broken ankle. James laughed again then said quite seriously,

"I prefer stag." Lily rolled her eyes at him,

"Your so vain!"

"That may be true now what's wrong with you?"

"Broken ankle I think."

"Damn."

"I second that"

"Alright lets go to the Hospital Wing," he started to grab her again.

"WAIT!"

"What?" he sighed.

"1 no more over the shoulder action 2 we need a cover up as im assuming that while Madame Leache may know about Remus' so called little furry problem she doesn't know about the illegal animagues."

"Good Point…got any ideas."

"As a matter of fact I do." She paused "I needed to go to the bathroom while we were at detention, I fell down the stairs, you came to find me cause I wasn't back after a while and there I was strewn over the stairs with a broken ankle,"

"Wow your good! One problem though how'd you get the cuts?"

"Suit of armor that's what I tripped over it was by the stairs and it cut me damn daggers!"

"Very nice now can we go?"

"I'd love to." James started walking away and Lily let out a small cough.

"What now!" he asked.

"Broken ankle…." Realization popped onto his face,

"Aww shit I almost forgot why we needed the cover up!" he looked guilty as he rushed over to her.

"Oh yes everyone," Lily declared "meet James Potter the ever smart one" she smiled.

"Haha funny!" James said sarcastically. He grabbed her waist and pulled her up she winced. Grabbed onto him then started hobbling in the direction of the Hospital Wing, which thankfully wasn't that far away.

--- The Hospital Wing

The two walked quite slowly to the hospital door James slowly opened the door and pushed her through. They did their best to be quiet; thankfully Madame Leache was on her nighttime check to make sure everyone was okay.

"Oh dear what's wrong?" she asked.

"Lily has a broken ankle," James explained. Madame Leache ran over with a slight 'ohh ohh' noise.

"Come here, where's the closest bed ah there okay Mr. Potter bring her over here, Miss. Evans lay down and my how did that happen?" Lily recited their story and Madame Leache let out lots more 'ohh ohh' noises to which James snickered and stopped when he received a glare from Lily.

"Luckily this will be easy to fix!" Madame leache explained, and with a flick of her wand cleaned the cuts and bandaged them then she said

"Epskiy" and the ankle fixed itself. "Miss Evans you should sleep here the ankle is probably still soar and Mr. Potter I'm sure you two can finish detention another night." She said, as she made sure Lily was in bed and shooed James out the door.

--- Morning

Lily woke up the sun shining in her eyes she moved slightly; "Ouch" she said quietly her leg killed. With that slight pain everything that had taken place came back to her. She sat up, next to her bed sat Remus with Peter, James and Sirius surrounding him. They were all looking at him.

"What?" she asked.

"I'm really sorry about last night," Remus said quietly.

"Its fine I'm okay your okay we're all okay." Lily said she didn't want him to feel bad over her stupidity. "It was my fault."

"What do you think about him being a werewolf?" Sirius asked quietly so no one would over hear them.

"I'm fine with it, im used to prejudice as a so called 'mudblood' I hate that Remus gets that too even worse prejudice actually."

"So you wont tell?" Remus asked.

"Of course not why would I?" she asked, "I just told you im not like that!"

"You can trust Lily. I made sure she was trustworthy last night."

"Thanks for helping me back here." She told him he nodded then a few seconds later asked,

"Friends" she thought a second then nodded,

"Friends" he walked out and stuck out his hand she grabbed it and they shook hands vigorously with goofy grins on their faces.

"Nice to be friends with you!" she said in the manliest she could muster.

"Right that is!" he said in his McKinley voice (the charms teacher).

The two both burst into laughter and could not stop laughing, Lily was rolling around on the bed and James was collapsing. Their laughing was so contagious that the whole hospital wing started laughing and didn't know why even Madame leache.
