Both Expected and Unexpected Surprises
Chapter 6
His Way With Animals
The beast approached. He was snarling but it almost looked as if it was confused. His pupils were huge, yet his eyes lit up. The dog's shaggy fur was black and tangled. Every step the dog took made people shake in fear.
A group of girls screamed and ran, their dates followed them quickly. Rebecca pulled on Remus's hand trying to lead him out. She tugged and tugged but he wouldn't take his eyes off the dog."Lets go Remus! NOW!" She yelled running out the door.
Lily looked at James and tilted her head to the door, but just like Remus he stared at the dog. She stayed put and looked at the dog too, but in fear.
Lily's heart raced as the dog came closer. It walked past her and she could see the dog look at her closely.
The furry monster walked over to Remus and stared at him for while. Remus nodded to the dog and scooted him to the other direction.
Lily held her breath as the dog skipped over to James. James seemed like he was about to attack the creature when it let out a bark. James looked at it long and hard then pointed to the door.
Lily saw the dog walk out and ran over to James. Few people were still here and they were all looking at James amazed.
"How did you-" Professor Slughorn stuttered to James.
Remus followed the dog out the door and James stared at Professor Slughorn.
"Er…I uh…have my ways with animals." James grunted to the confused Professor.
"Well! That was truly remarkable m'boy! Perhaps you would consider joining the Slug Club!"
James muttered something and walked towards Lily. Lily was staring at him oddly. James grinned at her, but Lily could not stop looking at him.
"You…" Lily stuttered. She felt childish standing there not even able to complete her sentence.
"What?" James questioned.
"I… er…have to go…now." Lily said quietly as she walked past James.
Lily had mixed feelings as she walked down the hall. Did James have a secret that no one knew about?
