Sorry it took me so long to put this up!! I took everyone's advice and put both versions up!! However, they have changed somewhat from their original versions, but I hope you enjoy them!! This is the weird version. R&R!! And remember, if you give me Dares, I will try to work them into the story!!

That night in the commonroom Sirius and James faced off in a match of wizard chess as Remus tried vainly to concentrate on the essay they had due in Potions the next morning. He watched James and Sirius disapprovingly, as neither had even attempted to begin their essay. The boys would be up all night trying to finish their essay before it was due.

Thinking about being up all night made Remus think of the Truth or Dare game he and Sirius had started. It was having interesting consequences at the expense of James, and Remus felt it was only fair to let him in on the game, to make up for his humiliation and confusion.

Remus caught Sirius' eye and tried to silently show him that he needed to mention the game to James. Sirius rolled his eyes and moved his piece. "Check."

James squinted at the board as Sirius grinned widely, his grin disappearing almost instantly as James made a move. "And that, Padfoot, is checkmate."

Sirius scowled. "I demand a rematch Prongs. I was… distracted." At the word distracted he glanced at Remus, who was still trying to get him to tell James about the game. Sirius sighed as the pieces set themselves up. He watched as James made his first move, then moved his Knight. He began to get immersed in the chess game and forgot all about telling James about the Truth or Dare game. That is, until he felt a pair of eyes boring into him. He glanced up to see Remus looking at him exasperatedly. Sirius sighed. "Fine, fine," he muttered to himself.

"So… Prongs."

"Yeah Padfoot?"

"What d'you think of… games? In general?"

"Um… they're great. We're playing one right now, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are actually. And about that… there's another game that I think you'd be pretty interested in."

"Really?" James looked up from the chessboard. "What's that?"

"It's Tr-" Sirius stopped short. Remus looked at him confusedly, and Sirius leaped up from the chessboard and rushed up the dormitory stairs. Remus followed him, still immensely confused, James looking after them bewilderedly.

Remus was passing the bathrooms when he heard Sirius' voice coming from inside. "Remus? Is that you?"

Remus stopped, and nodded slowly, then realized that obviously Sirius couldn't see him nodding. "Yeah…"

"Good. Come in here. Now."

Remus walked in and saw that the last toilet stall was occupied, and he walked over to it. He knocked gingerly and Sirius opened it slowly. "D'you reckon we can both fit in here?"

"Um… I don't see why not. But why can't you just come out here?"

"You'll see in a minute. But hurry, get in here." Sirius' hand snaked out and pulled Remus into the cubicle, then shut the cheap door. Remus was squashed up against the wall to avoid bumping Sirius, and he was feeling quite annoyed.

"What is it Sirius? What's so bad that you have to drag me into some cubicle with you?"

Sirius looked at Remus slowly, then slowly turned around. Remus was shocked to see, that jutting out of a hole in Sirius' pants, was a long, ropy tail. It was white, with a tuft of black fur on the end.

"Sirius… what is that?"

Sirius groaned. "It's a tail, Moony, a tail. But that's not the worst of it."

Remus hesitated before asking, "And what is the worst of it, exactly?"

Sirius kicked off his shoes and Remus saw that, instead of normal feet, cloven hooves protruded out from his legs. Then he slowly pulled off his shirt, and Remus' mouth dropped open in shock.

"It's… you're… they're…"

He was speechless. For before him, where Sirius used to have a very slight six-pack, hung a set of cow udders.

"This is… it's… I can't…"

"I know. I can't believe it either, but it's happening. And you know why? I felt it start to happen right as I tried to tell James about the Truth or Dare game. We can't tell people about this game Moony. Who knows, something even worse than this could happen!!"

Remus' eyes widened. "The game!! Maybe that can fix this!!"

Sirius put back on his shirt and Remus watched him carefully, making sure that he didn't leave any udders hanging visible. The two boys quickly rushed out of the bathroom and up to the dormitory. They rushed in, slammed the door, and locked it.

Sirius had tucked his newly sprouted tail back into his pants, and he looked normal for the most part, except for the fact that he looked as if he had gained several pounds in the stomach area, thanks to his new set of udders.

Sirius walked over to his hidden stash and pulled out the game. The sphere in the center was glowing bright yellow, and Sirius scowled. "Idiot game."

Remus looked at Sirius seriously. "Well, now we know that we can't tell anyone about this game, ever. Unless we want this to happen again, which I'm pretty sure we don't." Sirius frowned.

"I don't like letting some game control my life. It's stupid. In fact, I'm not going to let it. I'm going to tell whoever I want!!" Sirius marched over to the window in their dorm, opened it, and shouted. "GUESS WHAT!! THERE'S THIS G-MOO!!" Sirius belted out a deafening moo and Remus covered his ears. He watched in horror as Sirius dropped to all fours and his hands slowly changed to hooves. Sirius still resembled a human being, but his arms and legs were now changed so that he could walk on all fours. He also had a cow tail, and udders. Remus could see the shock in his eyes. Sirius looked at Remus.

"Remus, what's going on?" Sirius could still speak English!! Remus looked at him quickly.

"Sirius, please don't say anything else about the game to anyone but me. At least we can talk about it." Sirius nodded.

"Remus, we have to figure something out. James and Peter sleep in here too you know, and I think they're going to notice if one of their best friends is a HALF-COW FREAK!!"

Remus looked at Sirius. "Calm down, we're going to figure something out. Now be glad you can still talk, or I'd have to figure this out on my own. So, obviously the reason this is happening is because you tried to tell someone about the game."

"Right. But how does that help?"

"I'm not sure. But I guess, if you got this way from telling, then to go back to normal, you'd have to…"

"Not tell anyone!! Or, at least, convince them that I was going to talk about something else." Sirius was getting excited. He was ready to go back to being a normal, 16-year-old kid. Well, a normal 16-year-old kid who could turn into a dog when he wanted and had a werewolf as a best friend. But still.

"Only one problem. You look like a freak. What are you going to tell James?"

"I'll tell him that… it was a potion gone wrong. He knows I steal potions and stuff. He's seen me before. I'll tell him that I mixed two potions together and this was what happened. I'll say that it should wear off really soon, so that if I change back to normal when I'm talking to him he won't be suspicious."

"Good, good. But what game will you tell him about in place of the Truth or Dare game?"

"I have no idea. Have you got anything?"

"Well, the muggles in my village used to play some kind of game… I think it was called Crazy 10s? Something like that. It was a kind of card game. Just say that I know how to play it and it sounded like fun."

"Okay. Here goes nothing. Open the door for me Remus."

Remus walked over to the door and pulled it open. The two boys—well, one boy and one half cow half boy—walked out of the room, ready to fix the mess they had gotten themselves into.

Needless to say, James had barely even noticed they were gone. He was too entranced in the chess game, analyzing a winning strategy to even notice that Sirius had left. And when Remus pulled him away from the game, he was still too preoccupied to even notice that Sirius could digest grass, or produce nutritious liquid full of calcium and phosphate.

Remus sighed as the two, now-normal boys walked back up the stairs into their dorm. "James was pretty interested in that Insane 9s thing. Maybe we should play it."

Sirius yawned. "Maybe later. I'm beat for now." He collapsed onto his bed and fell asleep almost instantaneously, snoring loudly.

Remus fell asleep to the sound of Sirius' snores, grinning loudly. He was glad that Sirius was back to normal. He would never have been able to live with himself, knowing that his best friend was unhappy.
