Chapter 6: Full Moon's Night

Sirius strode down the corridors of Hogwarts one Sunday evening in a rather good mood. His relationship with Jenny was going great, and he was leading the school in number of detentions as usual. Granted James was only three behind him, but a win is a win. Also he no longer had to deal with James and Lily's constant bickering. Their relationship had grown exponentially in the past month and things were finally going the way James had always wanted them to. Remus also was truly happy for once with Yumi, and even Peter had found himself a girlfriend, a sixth year Ravenclaw. The only thing souring his mood was the fact that one of his best friends was going to turn into a werewolf that very night. He got to the head dorm to collect James. They were going to set up a prank that would give them all an alibi just in case Dumbledore suspected something. He arrived to find the Head dorm's portrait in an unusual state. Or rather unusual had he seen it three months ago. James was facing away from Sirius trapping Lily, who had her arms around him, against the back of the painting snogging her senseless. Sirius shook his head bemused, and gave the password. James just waved his had, motioning him in, paying no attention. The painting swung slowly open.

Sirius stepped inside, "Oi Prongs!" He shouted, "your paintings snoggin again. Can't you fix that?" James head popped up over the back of the couch a look of shock and surprise on his face, "What are you doing lyin down? We've got Marua-" James quickly began making a cutting motion across his neck to get him to stop. "What?" he asked. James moved into a kneeling position on the couch as Lily, who had been lying on the couch as well, sat up. "Oh." Sirius said dumbly in recognition."What did he call you?" Lily asked confusedly. The two exchanged a worried look.

"Nothing," Sirius replied. Lily gave him a look, clearly not convinced. "But we do have that thing to do tonight" Sirius added looking at James.

"How did you get in here anyway?" He asked as he stood up, then helped Lily up as well.

"I'm Sirius Black," he replied with a shrug.

James shook his head and told Lily that he had to go. The two left with a still puzzled an now suspicious Lily behind. The painting swung closed behind them. The second it clicked shut James gave Sirius a rather annoyed stare.

"What?" he asked puzzled by the icy look he received. "Oh right. Way to go Prongs." he said with a grin slapping him on the arm.

"What are you stupid?" James asked knocking his hand away. "You could have blown our cover in there!"

"Woah, calm down mate," Sirius said as they began to walk. "All she might have heard was your name, and that we were doing something tonight. With the prank were setting up, she wont suspect a thing." James cooled down considerably as they continued. James' mind was always on edge around Remus' transformations. The two marauders rounded the corner to find Peter in front of the portrait hole to the kitchens. Peter was holding on to one of Sirius' boxes of Pixie powder. James grinned widely as he figured out their plan. He tickled the pear in the painted bowl of fruit and it popped open. They entered and were greeted by several house elves offering them all kinds of food. James accepted a large piece of chocolate. It was Remus' favorite and James would get one for him every month for after his transformation. Sirius outlined his plan for the house elves who were rather reluctant to agree to it. The plan was to be put into effect for tomorrow mornings breakfast. After ensuring everything was taken care of in the kitchens James got out his invisibility cloak and the three marauders made their way to the Whomping Willow.

With Sirius' abduction of James, Lily decided to head up to Gryffindor tower to find her friends. She reached the fat lady, who greeted her warmly and let her in. She found Jenny who was playing exploding snap with a few other students. Yumi was sitting in a cushy armchair her eyes as pink as ever reading one of her novels.

"Hey Lily!" Ryan Andros, a sixth year called when she entered. "You wanna play with us?" He asked indicated the exploding snap game.

"Sure," she said with a shrug. "James ran off when Sirius came so that throws my study plans with him out the window. So why not."

"Yea I was upset when Sirius ran off," Jenny complained. "I was hoping to see him tonight."

"I know what you mean," Yumi chimed in with a pout. Remy is gone too. But he didn't look too good. I think he got sick a few days ago."

"I still can't believe you and James got together," Ryan added shuffling the cards. "I mean, one time you pushed him into a growth of choke vines when he asked you out in Herbology."

Lily shook her head as she remembered the incident. "Well he had it coming to him," she said.

"He turned blue!" Ryan shouted holding in his laughter. "You could see the marks on his neck for weeks!" At this everyone in the common room who heard began laughing.

"Oh whatever, lets just play some cards and not worry about him tonight. He went of with Sirius to have fun so I'm gonna have some fun too." With this Ryan dealt the cards and the games began.

Lily spent the night in Gryffindor tower in her old dorm, after fun filled games of snap, wizard chess and gobstones. The next morning at breakfast, the Marauders were no where to be found. Lily began to wonder where James was when suddenly the Slytherin table erupted into chaos. Where used to be Snape, Malfoy, and several other students, tiny one foot tall pixies were flying in their place. The whole great hall erupted into laughter at the predicament, and Lily could have sworn to see Dumbledore grinning. The effected students were taken to the hospital wing, but a counter curse couldn't be found. They would just have to wait until the effects wore off. Lily was laughing despite having to keep up her Head Girl persona as she made her way to class. About halfway through her Ancient runes class things were interrupted by none other than James Potter.

"Sorry to interrupt professor, but I have a message for Lily," he said after knocking. "Head business," he added. Lily got up and went out into the hallway with him. Once the door was safely shut behind them, Lily was caught in a whirl of motion. She found herself pinned against the wall locked in a deep kiss.

"Wow," she breathed when she finally composed herself after the kiss. "10 points to Gryffindor for that."

"What?" James said in bewilderment. "We can give out points for that? I think I can get the house cup in the bag for sure this year." James leaned in intently going for another kiss.

Lily laughed as she stopped him. "No James, you aren't going to abuse your Head power." James hung his head in mock defeat. "So I can assume the prank this morning was your doing last night?"

"You bet," he said half truthfully. "Sorry I had to run out like that. But you know... Duty calls."

Lily laughed softly, "Well I'd better get back to class, that was all you needed me for right? Or was there a real message."

"Nope that was everything." James grinned at her as she walked back into her classroom a grin permanently on her face.

Remus awoke in the hospital wing as he did every month. Sore all over with scratches across his body. He spotted on the bedside table the large chunk of chocolate James had left him. He smiled breaking a piece off of it. "Thank you James," he whispered lying back on the bed.

"Your awake!" He heard a shout from across the room. He turned and saw Yumi running to him. He panicked for a moment hoping the scratches weren't too noticeable. "You didn't look too good the past couple of days, so I figured I might find you here. What was wrong Remy?"

He smiled. He loved when she called him that. For once he had a girl who really cared about him. She hugged him tightly when he sat up in bed. "I don't know, just a little flu or something probably. I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" She asked looking him over, her eyes lingering on the few visible scratches on his arms. "You haven't looked yourself for the past couple of days."

He began battling himself inside. He really liked her, maybe even loved her, and knew that she liked him as well. He shouldn't be hiding what he was from her. In the end he decided it would be best kept secret. He couldn't bear to loose her. "It's nothing," he lied. "I guess I just got sick."

"Well Remy, if you need anything just let me know," she responded, her eyes sinking a bit and turned a gray blue. "You can tell me anything too if somethings bothering you. I'm a good listener. Sorry but I've got to run now. It's time for class."

"Thanks," he responded. She kissed him on the cheek and left. 'What did that mean? Does she know something?' Remus laid back on his bed pondering this new development.
