I just have to say that I am feeling pretty proud of how quickly I have been able to come up with this chapter so I hope you enjoy it. :)


Megan POV

I was absolutely furious with Sirius but I stayed with him in the Forest. Most people in my situation would have left the grounds of Hogwarts and travelled home in an attempt to forget the whole thing and they would hope that they weren't found out. I on the other hand figured that whether I stayed of not, if the ministry wanted to find me they would. My fate was chosen. But if I was going to Azkaban I wouldn't go without knowing Pettigrew was gone, and that is why I stayed, to finish the job Sirius and I had started.

Days after choosing to stay I received an owl from Remus. I paid the owl and took the envelope from him. I stared at it, not opening it. I could only imagine what it might say. That he was furious with me, that he couldn't believe I had done the one thing he asked me not to and that the relationship was not going to work without trust.

"You should open it." Sirius said from behind me. I nodded numbly and did as he said. The letter said:

Dearest Megan,

Another letter this week for you, aren't you proud of me. I thought this was important so I made time to owl you. I don't think the news had leaked to the daily prophet yet but Sirius Black has been to Hogwarts. Nobody knows if he is still on the grounds but he tried to get into Gryffindor tower. The Fat Lady was screaming bloody murder about him attacking her portrait because she wouldn't let him in. She has resigned her position now for the rest of the year and another panting has replaced her.

Does that really sound like he is innocent to you? Anyway, I thought you should know.

I look forward to seeing you over the Christmas holidays.

Love form Remus x

I looked up from the parchment to Sirius. "What?" He said questioningly.

"The Fat Lady didn't say anything about me." I said, relieved. "She must have been so freaked out to see you that she forgot about me completely."

"Well that is good news for you." Sirius muttered. "But not so much for me seeing as the ministry now knows my approximate whereabouts." I nodded.

"Well, you have to take responsibility for your stupid actions." I said sourly. Sirius said nothing and silence fell between us for a while. I couldn't help how angry I still felt towards him.

"I need to reply to Remus." I said while playing with my finger nails, I hated awkward situations. Sirius nodded once and walked off into the forest, most likely to find some berries to eat. I got out the necessary tools and began to write:

Dear Remus,

I regret to tell you that I have been called in to work over Christmas in France. There has been a series of murders going on that the Ministry believes are werewolf attacks and they want me to investigate. I predict that I will be gone for at least three months maybe more.

I honestly cannot believe that Sirius would go to Hogwarts. What reason could he possibly have? The ministry is wrong about him being after Harry, even if the evidence seems to point that way.

Loving you and missing you.

The moment I had finished, I handed the letter to the owl which still hadn't flown away, and thought about how easily I had thought up that lie about me whereabouts at Christmas. I had told him this just so I could continue to help Sirius. Was that really right? I couldn't shake the feeling that if Remus ever found out how much I was lying to him, it would damage our relationship to a point of no recovery.

This one thought clung on to the back of my mind over the next few months. Christmas passed and it was amazing! That was a lie, the full moon was on Christmas eve night so I had the wonderful pleasure of waking up on the forest floor naked and aching all over on Christmas morning. At least I had my potion so I didn't have to worry about who I will have killed the night before. For dinner, Sirius and I shared some berries that we had found in the woods and a tin of cold baked beans that I had packed in my bag.

It was now the middle of March and as you would expect from the typical British weather, it was tipping down with rain. I sat up against the trunk of a tree in an attempt to shelter myself and wondered where Sirius might be. My guess was that he was with his new friend, a fat ginger cat with a flat face and matted fur. In his dog form he was able to communicate with said cat and he learned with dorm room Pettigrew lived in as a rat. Despite this, I hated the damn cat just as it hated me. It wouldn't come near me and if I attempted to come near it I received a nice scratch down my arm and a loud hiss. I assumed that the reasoning behind this was my lycanthropy; it could probably sense my wolf side and thought I was dangerous. It was right.

I heard a branch snap behind me and turned to see Sirius approaching with a wide smile plastered across his face. "What's the occasion?" I remarked casually. "I haven't seen you smile like that in a while."

"Look what I just found." He said, sitting next to me and handing me a crumpled piece of parchment. I took it and glanced down before looking back at him.

"It is just a list of words Sirius." I moaned, handing it back. "You act as though it is a piece of gold."

"It practically is." He said still smiling. The cat found it and brought it to me. He paused a moment. "It tells me that this is the list of passwords to get into Gryffindor tower." My eyes widened and I took the list back from him for a second look.

"Are you sure?" I asked him and he nodded.

"You told me that the Fat Lady has resigned her position so the new painting probably won't recognise us." His eyes sparkled with excitement. "We could go up there right now and get Pettigrew." I shook my head.

"Sirius listen to me." A frown replaced his smile. "It is two o'clock in the morning; all of the students will be in their dorms right now. What if we were to wake somebody? It would be a mirical if we got out of the castle a second time." Sirius stood up abruptly and tore the list from my grasp. How he did it without ripping the parchment is something I will never know.

"Well I'm going." He stated and began to walk off. "You can either join me or stay here on your own." I got up quickly and ran to him, grabbing his arm to stop him from continuing.

"I am telling you that this is a bad idea. Don't go making rash decisions that are going to get you caught." I urged but he just shook me off and continued walking. I huffed and stomped back over to the tree I was just sitting under (I was so mature). This was a suicide mission he was going on. He was going to get caught, I just knew it. I rested my head on my knees and waited for the inevitable to happen. He was such a Fucking idiot!

Around two hours later Sirius came back and told me almost exactly what I had expected to hear.

"Somebody saw me." He said miserably and I showed him no sympathy what so ever by rolling my eyes.

"I told you that would happen but you chose to ignore me." I said with a sarcastic smile.

"But I was so close."

"Just be grateful you weren't caught." I snapped. "You cannot afford to be careless Sirius, I told you before, the Minister for magic has announced that if you are caught the first thing they will do is have the Dementor's kiss administered." I knew it was harsh to say it but he needed to understand. It was almost like talking to a child, I had to spell everything out for him. "I am warning you; the next time you do something that stupid I am going home! I am not putting my neck on the line for you again."

"I know." He sighed. "This is just taking too long." I rested a hand on his leg and attempted to calm my anger.

"I know." I said quietly. "But sometimes time is what is needed to get things right."

I was right about that. We continued to hide in the forest for the next couple of months and nothing happened until the 6th June (I knew the date because I had a diary with me to keep track of full moon dates) and it happened to be a full moon tonight. While Sirius was wandering around the forest I got the Wolfsbane potion out of my bag and held my breath ready to drink it.

Anyone who has tasted it will tell you that it is one of the vilest tasting things you could ever try. It was even worse than Polyjuice potion which I had tried once before being bitten at the age of thirteen, but I drank it none the less.

Hours later while Sirius and I were eating we heard someone shouting. We peered out from behind a bush too see what was going on and saw a boy with fiery red hair struggling to keep hold of a balding rat. A boy, who shared a remarkable resemblance to James Potter, stood next to a girl with frizzy brown hair and they were both shouting at the red head to calm down as they continued walking up towards the school.

"It's Peter." Said Sirius suddenly, from next to me. I looked from the three students to him. "I would recognise that rat anywhere." Before I could say anything He changed into a dog and ran towards the three teenagers. All I could do was sit and watch.

Eventually after a lode of commotion, he dragged the redhead down into the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack along with the rat which we believed to be Pettigrew. I then watched as the other two students followed after fighting to get past the violent tree branches. The moment they were out of sight, I ran from my hiding place in an attempt to follow them. Sirius was in so much trouble if they wouldn't listen to his explanation.

I pulled out my wand to cast the spell that would calm the tree when a voice from behind called my name. I turned to see Remus approaching me and he did not look happy.


So Remus is back in the story properly now. Will he be angry with her for a long time? I have already written the next chapter as well and so I should have it online tomorrow.
