A few weeks passed by and it was the morning of the full moon. I woke up late so I had to quickly got ready to get to breakfast on time. Breakfast was good, as usual. The first class we had was Potions, Sirius and I were still partners, he thankfully had gotten better at it. Lily and Snape were still the best at Potions, next was Remus and Raela, then a few more pairs and then us. After Potions, we had DADA, that day we studied Expelliarmus, for practice each of us had to make a box, that was on our desks to fly away, it was very fun, I did it perfectly the third try which I was very proud of, the only thing bad was I got hit in the head by one of the boxes that James hexed. The two last classes were Care of Magical Creatures and History of Magic, my two least favourite classes. After the classes were done we all headed up to the common room.
"It is full moon tonight!" James gleefully said, Remus paled after he said that.
"So are we going out tonight as animaguses?" Raela asked.
"We better, I have been looking forward to this for weeks." Sirius joyfully said.
"Yes, but what if something goes wrong." Remus said sadly.
"Nothing will go wrong besides we are your friends, we are supposed to help you out in your difficult times." I said, Remus brightened a little but then he returned to looking pale.
"Nurse Pomfrey will first take me to where I will be staying and then she will leave afterwards." Remus said.
"No, she will be staying, Remus." James said with a smirk, Remus rolled his eyes.
"James." I said. "Do you always have to be so immature."
"Get used to it, Sierra, because he always is going to be like this." Sirius said, James stuck his tongue out.
"Like Sierra said, Immature." Raela said, smiling, Remus nodded also smiling. Just then Nurse came in.
"Hello, could I please see you Lupin." She said, smiling. Remus looked at us nervously then followed her.
"She's kidnapping him." James shrieked like a girl, Raela smacked him on the head with her book.
"Shut up and stop being so immature." Raela said.
"Are we going to go there right now?" I asked.
"Maybe we should wait for awhile." Raela said, James nodded.
"Maybe." Sirius said. We waited what seemed three hours but in reality only one. Finally we went out of the dormitory and out into the school yard, towards a big willow tree that was waving its branches all around.
"Uh.. Guys how do we get in there?" I asked.
"Dodge." Sirius said, grimly. So we all took turns dodging the branches and climbing into a tunnel.
"Raela, you go first." Sirius said.
"Why me?" She shrieked.
"Because you are a wolf." He said, solemnly. She nodded and gulped.
"Time to transform." James said, with that he turned into a stag. In seconds, we all had transformed. Raela took the lead darting around the corners. Finally we came to a door, she pushed it open and there staring at all of us was a werewolf. I whimpered. The werewolf jumped at Raela, who was looking very scared. Then to our surprise he just nuzzled her.
"Aren't werewolves supposed to lose their minds when they transform." Sirius 'asked'.
"She is a wolf, Sirius, the same kind of animal…. Well except for a few things anyway." I 'answered.
"Oh yeah." He 'said'. We looked back at the werewolf, he was staring at us. Oh no! He loped over to me and Sirius and growled at us. I growled back. For a while we just stood there looking at each other than without warning, the werewolf jumped at me, I whimpered, just as he was about to reach me, Raela jumped and growled. The werewolf stopped and glared at Raela then nuzzled her again. After a while we laid down and went to sleep, me the farthest away, from the werewolf with Sirius then James was in between us since he was bigger. By the wall Raela and the werewolf slept, Raela had tried to sneak away and sleep closer to me but the werewolf kept blocking her. Finally she laid down by the wall with the werewolf blocking her from our view, probably trying to protect her or something like that. When I opened my eyes it was morning all of us except for Remus was still in our animal forms. He was human again, praise the Lord! I stood up, still a dog and barked, and Sirius and Remus woke up instantly. I transformed in a second I was back to normal. Remus blinked as he woke up and looked at Raela who was still a wolf sleeping between him and the wall.
"What did I do, I don't remember anything?" He asked worried.
"Don't worry you didn't do anything." Sirius reassured him, but then he added
"unless we were sleeping and we didn't notice."
"Well that makes me feel better." Remus said sarcastically.
"So what happened last night?" Remus asked. "Did everything go alright?" He asked still worried.
"Yeah you took an instant liking to Raela and you growled at Sierra and me but otherwise then that everything was fine." Sirius explained.
"Everything went fine." I said reassuringly. Just then I heard a growl, I looked over to Raela she was waking up. She stood up then transformed.
"What-at wen-nt fin-ne?" She asked sleepily.
"Last night." I said, she nodded.
"So I didn't bite you?" Remus asked worriedly.
"No." Raela said uncomfortably.
"So what are you talking about?" I heard a new voice ask. I, along with all the others whirled around. James was walking towards us casually for some reason Sirius' eyes narrowed and his face grew hard.
"You didn't even protect us!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Remus could have been on top of Sierra in a second and you wouldn't have even noticed, because you were sleeping so heavily!" He added, Remus paled when Sirius said that he could have bit me.
"Don't worry it isn't your fault." I told him.
"Should we head back to the school?" Remus asked.
"Yes, except for you, you need t stay here our nurse will know something was up." Raela said. With that we all walked and dodged out of the whomping willow and headed back to the castle.
