A/N: Ok. You know the whole disclaimer thingy…but the reason I put this note here for was because I wanted to tell you, my faithful readers, that Monica is now being called Pixie, Jess is being called Gem, and Daniele is being called Mona.

Meanwhile…

"I really hope Pix is ok." Gem said to the group as they approached the portrait of the fat lady.

"Don't worry, Gem. Sirius will make her feel better." Said Peter. Mona gave him the dirtiest look she could muster. Whether J.K. Rowling's books were fake or not, she still had a bad feeling about him.

"Welcome home, you guys." Remus said.

"OK, the password is 'jumping cockatrice'." James stated, as the portrait swung open.

"Oh my god!" Gem and Mona squealed as they entered the common roon. It was just as they always imagined. Everything was red and gold. Mona looked around in awe. Then a bulletin board on the wall caught her eye. She walked up to it.

It said:

Quidditch Tryouts Tomorrow

Needed: 1 beater and 1 chaser

Equipment will be provided for tryouts.

"Cool! I wanna tryout to be a chaser!" Mona yelled excitedly.

"You don't even know how to fly…" Gem pointed out. Remus started laughing.

"Actually, she was Hogwarts's best chaser as Pixie was the school's best beater, making them the youngest people playing quidditch at Hogwarts when they were in their first and second years."

"But Dumbledore has your wands and brooms, though…" James said.

"Oh, dear." Gem sighed. "All we need to do is give them wands and they'll go wild…" Everybody started laughing. Just then, the portrait hole opened and in walked Pixie and Padfoot.

"What's so funny?" they asked in unison.

"Hey guys!" Peter interrupted. "There's a full moon an Friday!" Remus turned pale and Mona froze.

"That's great! We can all hang out together in the shrieking shack!" Gem said.

"But we don't have anamagi." Pixie pointed out, disappointed.

"Yes you do." Remus said. "We'll teach you how to change before the full moon."

"I don't think I'm gonna go…" Mona said quickly.

"Why not?" Remus asked sadly. She was one of the reasons he got through the transformations.

"Um, I-I gotta go talk to professor Dumbledore." She said. Then she ran out of the portrait hole towards Dumbledore's office.

"I'll go with her so she doesn't get lost." Remus said, getting up from the chair he had been sitting in.

"Ok." Gem agreed. "Oh, hey, Pix? Did you hear about the quidditch tryouts tomorrow?"

"Cool! I've always wanted to be a beater!"

Remus ran out of the common room after Mona. Something was upsetting her and he was going to find out what.
