Chapter 6
It was a full moon.
Hermione turned to look at Sirius and James. They were both looking at each other. Hermione knew exactly what was going on, "Umm…maybe we should go outside—get some fresh air?"
Sirius turned to her, "Yeah, sounds good. James you stay with Remus to make sure he's okay and I'll escort the girls back to the castle and come right back." Sirius seemed used to dealing with this kind of situation.
They got up from the table to allow James to hurry outside with Remus—they were going toward the shrieking shack. Sirius signaled for them to hurry back to the castle. He was practically running. He turned to look at James and Remus—but Remus wasn't next to James any longer. Hermione saw the distinct shape of a wolf making its way back towards them. Sirius cursed under his breath and turned to Hermione, "You know the way back right?"
Hermione looked at him nervously, "Yeah I do…be careful okay." Sirius turned to her and smiled, "Careful about what?" then turned to run toward Remus—all the while hoping that she thought that the distinct form of a werewolf coming towards her was just a trick of the light.
Hermione turned around and began leading the girls back to where they came from. When they finally made it back to the one eyed witch, Hermione said goodbye to Lilly, who went off her room. She turned to Ginny, "I'll meet you in the common room in an hour, I really have to catch up on some reading."
Ginny smiled, "Just can't stay away from the books can you?" Hermione laughed nervously, "Yeah, just can't!" Ginny laughed, "see you later then" and started walking down the hall towards the common room.
Hermione waited until she disappeared around a corner and then turned around and made her way back to the passageway. She knew she had to help Sirius and James with Remus, they could get seriously hurt.
When she finally made it out she looked around and didn't see anything. Then see heard a rustling come from where she had just come from. She whipped around wand at the ready, "Whose there?"
"Hermione! Is that you?" it was Ginny's voice "seems we think alike eh?" Hermione looked at the redhead as she came out from the passage way, "Yeah, well I cant find them."
Ginny wasn't looking at her though, she was looking over Hermione's shoulder with wide eyes, "…Wer…Werewolf" she stuttered and pointed behind Hermione's head. Hermione turned around just in time to see Remus growling at her before it pounced. Hermione screamed.
Sirius and James had been chasing Remus around in their animagus forms for a half hour. Sirius got the girls to safety just as he saw Remus pounce on James. Sirius ran and jumped, turning into a large black dog in midair, knocking Remus off his course. He stood by James' side growling at Remus. Remus turned and ran howling toward the secret passageway, Sirius didn't see anyone around and decided to let him run himself out until he fell asleep and changed back into a human in the morning. Sirius was tired himself and decided lay down, still keeping an eye on Remus. He must off fallen asleep—because he was awakened by the sound of a scream. James turned toward him and they began to run towards the secret passageway. He couldn't believe he had let himself fall asleep.
Hermione closed her eyes waiting to feel the bite. However, she heard a yell behind her: "Petrificus Totalus!"
She opened her eyes to see Remus suspended in midair, teeth bared. She turned around to find Ginny behind her with her wand pointed over her shoulder. Hermione laughed nervously, " That was close" Ginny rolled her eyes, "Lets go before the spell wears off."
Hermione followed Ginny back to the entrance of the passage way, she turned around to see a stag and a large black dog staring at her. She knew who they were, she stared before turning around and following Ginny into the passageway.
Breakfast tomorrow was going to be interesting.
