Chapter 38-

Lars ran up the stairs, not stopping or looking back until he reached the Gryffindor common room, but as he went up to the door, a Professor stood by the door, it was to Lars surprise that Professor McGonagall had been alerted about Lars' decision, and the danger of what he had done.

"Mr. Pendelton," Professor McGonagall disapproved of Lars, and what he had done. "Your friend Remus Lupin had let me know what you had done," Lars was ready to hear a lecture, McGonagall seemed as though she was ready to do a lecture as well.

"I was tempted," Lars said quickly. "Montague Kane has tricked me," Lars was shaking, realizing what he had actually done, and the mistake he made.

"You are lucky it is the end of the year," McGonagall said, shaking her head. "Please go inside now, your friends are waiting for you!" With that, Lars Pendelton walked away, leaving himself open to enter the common room.

Lars entered the common room, as soon as he had opened the door, James, Sirius and Remus had clapped, Peter had come up to Lars.

"How was it?" Peter asked curiously. "What had happened?" Lars ignored Peter, as he headed to the other people. "I insist to know!" Peter yelled in Lars' ear, as furiously Lars put his wand into Peter's face.

"I'll tell everyone at the same time," Lars said. "You will listen with the rest of us," Peter sat down, satisfied he would still hear everything.

"We need a way to not be fooled!" Lars yelled, as Lars went to grab his wand out of his secret pocket, he noticed he had been cut really badly. Slight cut on his elbow, but very deep.

"Lars, you should go to Madam Pomfrey!" Sirius yelled, noticing that. Lars ignored the cut as well.

"I was tricked!" Lars yelled, seeing their faces, they thought Lars was lying. "The shadow was used as a trick to lure me in!" Lars looked out the sunny common room window. "They knew I wasn't sure of their whereabouts," Lars said, now a little nervous.

"So they attacked you?" James said, intrigued. Lars hadn't been as aggressive in a while, which meant his conversation was serious.

"Worse," Lars sighed. "They brought me in the common room, and nearly killed me," Lars kept his eyes on everyone, staring at each one of them.

"I told you it was a bad idea!" Remus said, Lars saw Remus looking down at the ground, and Lars looked at the fireplace, spewing a bright red fire, which heated the whole common room.

"He knows what you're doing!" Lars remembered to tell James. "He knows your planning animagi,"

"Well, he won't be able to stop it!" James laughed, trying to sooth the tension. "What can he do?" James was now laughing, but not even Sirius laughed back.

"Him and Severus created a book," Lars said again worried. "The book had many spells, all of which are powerful," Lars looked out the window again. "It's just getting stronger!"

"We should defiantly create something ourselves," Sirius yelled out. "They have so much going for themselves, how about us!" To Sirius' shock, everyone nodded there heads in agreement.

"What could we use," James asked. "What would help our situation most?" After a few minutes, everyone thought. All Lars could think of was how Montague Kane tricked him and hid. Then Lars thought of it…..

"How about we create something!" Lars said loudly. "Something where we can find everyone, they will never leave our sight!" Lars suddenly felt accomplished, as everyone agreed with Lars as well.

"How could we create something that would discover everyone?" James asked. "Great idea, but how would we created it, and what would we use to create it?" James made a good point. Lars needed something that would fit the whole school, so they could find everyone in the halls.

"There could be certain ways," Remus interrupted Lars, but said nothing else as Lily came down, sleepy and angry.

"James!" Lily yelled, with her eyes almost shut. "Go to bed!" Sirius laughed as James watched Lily yell at James again.

"You too Sirius!" Sirius got up, confused and headed up as well, and without question, Lars and Remus followed. They never realized how late they were up until, as the next morning wasn't too pleasant for any of them.
