It was Halloween night. In the Great Hall, students were eating Halloween feast. Of course, nobody expected what happened next. All the Slytherins's heads were turned to Halloween pumpkins. The great hall raged with laughter, even the headmaster chuckled a bit. Professor McGonagall walked to the second years.

"James potter and Sirius Black. Detention."

"But professor we didn't do It", Sirius Black said innocently.

"Mr. Black you and Mr. Potter are the only students who could do something like that," Professor McGonagall said with out thinking.

"Why thank you Mini," James said. But soon realized it was the wrong thing to say.

"Double Detention for you," professor McGonagall said sharply. Her thin lips -if possible- even thinner.

"Fine! When shall we meat dear Mini," Sirius said. The Great Hall roared with laughter again.

"You shall stop calling me that and double detentions for you too, meet me on Monday at eight PM."

"It's a date." Sirius winked at his teacher as she glared at him.

"Wait I can't professor I have detention with professor Sluggy," James said. Luckily for James professor Slughorn wasn't there.

"Fine Mr. Potter on Thursday same time."

"Can't. We have detention with Professor Andrew," James said and the Great Hall laughed at both boys.

"I don't have detention on Friday what about you Siri," James asked Sirius.

"Nope the only day." Sirius and James looked at McGonagall.

"Lets say … eight pm," James asked innocently. McGonagall glared at him then Nodded and turned to the staff table. On her way she turned the Slytherins heads back to normal.

"That was cool Remus missed the fun."

"And peter too."

"So remind me again why did Remus leave?"

"His uncle died", Sirius simply answered.

"Didn't he die a month ago?"

"Nop that was his grandmother."

"He didn't look that sad did he?"

"Nop."

"Are you thinking what I am thinking," James said.

"Remus is not telling us something."

"What do you think?"

"I don't know."

"He leaves every month."

"Almost every month. It like every 29 days."

"Yeah."

"Imagine he's a wolf. I read about them", both boys laughed at the thought of Sirius reading.

They finished eating and went to their dormitories to sleep.

On their way, James swore he saw full moon. He told Sirius in their dormitory but Sirius laughed which made James laugh. Therefore, the two boys slept.

In the morning both boys got up late, they had to go fast to their first class.

Nearly breathing. They reached the defines agenst the dark arts classroom. Opening the door to find Professor Andrew sitting on the table. He raised an eyebrow when he saw them.

"I see Mr. Lupin has gone," he asked them

"Yes sir how did you know?"

"If you haven't noticed you are 15 minutes late for class."

"We over slept."

"Detention Friday morning."

"Yes sir." both James and Sirius sat and started writing.

…………………………………..

"James look at this." it was the end of the day. Peter, James, and Sirius were in their common room.

"What mate." James and peter came to Sirius.

"I was thinking 'bout what you said yesterday," Sirius said to James.

"What did he tell you," Peter asked James. But James stared at Sirius.

"Do you mean about the werewolf thing." Sirius nodded.

"What werewolf," Peter asked. Both James and Sirius ignored him.

"He has the exact symptoms, he disappears every 29 days, he always look sick when he returns," Sirius explained.

"Who are you talking about," Peter said. And stile no one answered.

"That doesn't prove it," James said.

"Well yes but it makes it a possibility."

"If so then where does he go for his transfiguration?" James said. Peter was looking hopeless beside them.

"Wait, wait the voices, the voices from that house in Hogsmaid ummm I can't remember what's it's name."

"Yes, that's it. the Shirking Shack."

"But does he go all that way," Sirius said.

"Maybe he's got a secret passage."

"Oh Remus I can believe you."

"What! You're talking about Remus!" Both Sirius and James hit peter on his head and started explaining.

………………………………

The topic of the werewolf Remus never left James and Sirius, while peter sat aside trying not to hear what they are saying. Today Remus will be back and they will be asking him.

They were eating breakfast when Remus entered the great hall looking as exhausted as ever.

"Remus my dear, how are you?" Sirius asked Remus. Remus smiled.

"I am ok, our house was quiet with the funeral, and I really miss my aunt."

For a split second, all James's hopes crushed until Sirius said.

"I thought it was your uncle who died this month?"

This made Remus jerk his head towards Sirius, James, and peter.

"Yes dear friend we know that you lie and what you really are," James said. Peter's lips started to tremble.

"Y…y…you ar…aren't g….g…going to...kill us… r..r…right," he said.

Remus looked hurt. He stood and ran out of the great hall. Everyone was watching as James and Sirius hit peter on his head then ran after Remus.

"Remus mate wait."

They followed Remus to the lake.

"Remus come on don't be such a jerk," James said to Remus.

"It that what you think James, you THINK I AM A JE..."

"NO YOU IDIOT he didn't say that," Sirius said.

"Come on Remus its just… just a little furry problem," James said. Remus looked bewildered at him.

"What are you talking about, wait you think I have problem with my skin or something," Remus said.

"Well yeah I mean its something like that, it does grow every full moon," James said as Remus's face darkened again.

"I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore," Remus said quietly.

"Oh no…no…no you will not say that Remus, like James said before it's just a little problem," Sirius said.

"Yeah is that so, thinking that I will kill you is little," Remus said.

"What did you expect from peter, he is a coward after all, he'll get use to it, we just scared him a bit."

"So you are using me now. Whom else did you tell," Remus said. But as soon as he finished, James punched him.

"Nice to know you think well of your friends," James said.

"I am sorry," Remus whispered.

"We aren't going to tell anyone Remus as for peter we scared him by talking about it not by using you. He is our friend you know," Sirius said to his friend then he extended his hand to help Remus up.

"I know. I guess I over reacted," Remus said.

"Remus my boy I think you have the right to over react I mean you are a werewolf for gods' sake."

"So what is your werewolf called?" James asked Remus.

"What! I don't call him."

"Well I think we should. hmmm maybe wolfy."

"No way then every one will suspect something," Remus exclaimed. They started walking to their first class.

"How about Moony since he appears every full moon," James said.

"Hey I like it," Sirius said.

"Yes but Remus'll decide not you."

"I … like it." they laughed then went to peter.
