Tail of Two Puppies

Each of the Marauders hustled around the room silently looking for some way out. Sirius snapped his head in James direction," Do you have the Marauders Map on you?"
James rushed his hand into his pocket into his robes and nodded excitedly. He took out a spare piece of parchment and whipped his wand in the middle of it and whispered," I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Almost immediately, tiny inked details ran through the parchment. Soon at the top it read, 'Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present the Marauders map'. James opened it with such force he almost teared the fragile paper. He skimmed the map for what seemed like hours.
"You find anything?" Sirius asked. James threw his black locks up and saw that Sirius and Peter had stopped looking and to watch him instead. It was like being some seal in a circus with your crowd expecting you to do back flips and juggling to entertain their tiny minds.
"Nothing", James answered. He pointed his wand in the parchment in the map's ink slowly disappeared form existence until the map was completely bare and put it in his robes.
"What?" Sirius was bewildered.
"There is nothing! This room isn't even on the map!" James hissed. He snapped his killing eyes at Remus," Why isn't this room on the map, Remus?" he practically growled this time. "You were the one that put everything on the map."
Remus looked at him with concern," I guess I forgot to put it in. I've never even been in this room before to tell you the truth." Remus continued to search the wall he had claimed to examine.
" What? That's a bunch f bullshit! You know that right?" James got tense, how could he not know! Did he do it on propose?
"You shut your bloody mouth right now before I shut it for you!" Sirius threatened," So what if the room isn't on the map? I've never been in this room either, so don't you dare start blaming him!" Sirius was now four inches away from James.
James glared at Sirius, but then took a glance at Remus. Remus was now sitting in a chair at one of the desks supporting his head on his hand. James eased his shoulders and walked to a wall. He faced it and almost whispering he said," I'm sorry Remus."
"It's o.k." Remus replied," I should pay attention to my surroundings. Then I might have known that this room-
"No Remus, don't start blaming yourself." James snapped. He couldn't stand himself; he could feel tears building up in his eyes warming his face. "Don't you ever blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. I was being-"
Something big dropped, but didn't break, just a loud thud. Only three marauders turned to face were the sound came from. Remus was on his side shaking violently.
"JAMES!" Sirius shouted and pointed out the window. There over the forbidden forest was a magical and magnificent full moon. James' eyes widened then Sirius and James turned their gaze to Peter. Peter started back raising his eyebrows in fear; he had not completed his animagus forming.
"Pete!" James and Sirius shouted together.
James go and get Remus while I help Peter!" Sirius yelled over Remus' howls of pain. Sirius didn't need to tell James twice, he ran to the werewolf and got on his knees and grabbed his bleeding side.
Sirius rushed around the room with defenseless Peter in his firm grasp. Sirius then headed for the door with Peter.
"What are you doing? Fenrir is out there!" James yelled.
"I know a secret passage near hear! I'll take Peter there and perhaps he can get Dumbledore or something!" Sirius replied. And together the two rushed out the door.
They ran down the hall and took a right. It lead to a dead end but there was a portrait, nothing fancy, just a simple sleeping wizard wearing dark purple robes in his study with books and parchments scattered around the room.
"Hungarian Horntail!" now it didn't seem like it was a big deal if someone heard them. The portrait swung open and pushed Peter in there," Peter, go to the end of this passage, it should lead to the third floor near Defense!" Peter nodded and shut the portrait. Sirius made a dash and ran towards the room he was in thirty seconds ago.
Remus was almost in his full werewolf state and James was already in his stag form. Sirius bowed to the and aloud his body to take his animal form. Then he rushed to Remus. It was over. The werewolf lay motionless on the ground. Moony's eyes slowly opened his eyes and looked up to his friends.
" Padfoot! Prongs!" he growled playfully. His long jaw formed into a dangerous smile, but then became expressionless. He sniffed the air and dreamily closed his eyes. "How's about we go hunting" Remus asked casually strutting towards the door.
"How's about we don't?" Sirius leaped to the front of the door.
" Oh come now Padfoot, haven't wondered what they taste like?" James and Sirius knew immediately what Remus was talking about. Humans.
