A/N: Zero reviews…sigh…so sad…I'm so unloved…but I'm totally nice enough to give you a fourteenth chapter…despite the complete lack of reviews…

This chapter is all James, Remus, Sirius, & Peter------

For the next few days, the whole student body was abuzz with the excitement of the great Halloween prank. Everyone asked James and Sirius how they did it, but they just smirked knowingly and shrugged. Even Remus and Peter wouldn't tell how the prank had been accomplished, though Jessi was sure they had made some kind of deal with the House-Elves who cooked the supper. The incident made James and Sirius the most popular guys in school. They had done what everybody secretly wanted: they had humiliated everyone in Slytherin with one blow. Unfortunately for James and Sirius, their prank earned them a week's worth of detention and 100 house points taken from Gryffindor.

"I still can't believe you guys actually pulled it off!" Peter exclaimed excitedly a week later. James shrugged.

"What can I say?" he said smugly. "We're brilliant."

Sirius nodded violently, and Remus rolled his eyes.

"So…" James said lazily, "Anyone up for a little trip to the kitchens?"

Peter jumped up. "Yeah!"

"I'm in!" Sirius chimed.

All three turned to Remus, who looked out the window to the darkening sky nervously.

"Actually, I'm, er, not feeling to good. I think I'll go to the Hospital Wing."

"Want us to walk you?" James asked worriedly.

"NO!" Remus yelled. "I-I mean, no, I'll be fine."

"He didn't seem sick…" Sirius pondered as he, James and Peter walked through the halls. "Just, you know, tired."

James changed direction suddenly.

"James! Hey, James, mate, where are you going?" Sirius gasped as he rushed to keep up.

"We're paying a little visit to Remus."

"How are you feeling, Mr. Lupin?" Madam Pomfrey asked as her and Remus walked to the Whomping Willow.

"Fine!" Remus said.

"And your friends? They suspect nothing?"

"Of course not."

"Don't you think it's strange that Remus is ALWAYS sick on a full moon?" James asked, still walking to the hospital wing very fast.

"What are you saying, James?" Sirius asked.

"Well, do you think that maybe-" He stopped as they walked into an empty hospital wing.

"He's not here," Peter said.

"And neither is Madam Pomfrey…" Sirius muttered.

James strode to the window and peered out.

"There!" he exclaimed. "Heading towards the Whomping Willow!"

Sirius and Peter followed his gaze, and sure enough, saw Remus being led towards the deadly tree by Madam Pomfrey.

"So, what do we do?" Sirius asked, turning to look at his best friend.

"We'll talk to him tomorrow morning." James said.

Remus awoke the next morning in terrible pain. Every inch of his body was aching dreadfully, and he had great, bloody scars covering his chest, arms, and legs. He moaned as he tried to get up and find his clothes. He put them on tiredly, and slumped downstairs to meet Madam Pomfrey.

"Are you feeling alright?" She asked him, scanning his body for any broken bones, sprains, fractures, etc.

Remus nodded. "Just a bunch of scars," he said.

"Well, all the same, I'd like to put something on them. You don't want them to get infected, do you?"

Remus shook his head slowly.

"Let's be off, then!" The nurse exclaimed cheerily.

The two trudged up to the castle. It must have been very early in the morning, as the sky was still dark, now with a faint pink tinge across the horizon.

When they reached the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomfrey gestured to a bed and headed into her office. Remus collapsed onto the bed and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a muffled cough and a swish of fabric. He opened his eyes and sat up.

James, Sirius, and Peter stood in the corner of the room. James clutched an invisibility cloak in his left hand.

"Why didn't you tell us, mate?" Sirius asked.

"I thought-" Remus started. His voice faltered.

"You thought what? You thought we would be scared of you? You thought we would shun you? You thought we would tell everybody in the school? What the bloody hell were you thinking? You're a werewolf, you're only like that three days a month, you're normal ol' Remus the rest of the time! Why didn't you just TELL us?" James shouted.

Remus turned his gaze away from his friends.

"I don't know." He said quietly. "It's just that, everyone who ever found out got scared of me or something.

Sirius sighed. "Come on, mate! We're your FRIENDS! We wouldn't do that to you! FRIENDS! F-R-E-I-N-D-S!"

Remus looked up. "You spelled it wrong."

All four friends grinned.

A/N: I know, stupid chapter ending. But I really couldn't think of anything else, and they had to figure it out someway…Now, REVIEW!
