"Ugh! Such gross work," Sirius moaned as he scrubbed his third bed pan.

"I can't believe they let the dirt stay all summer," James said. He could barely hold his steady as he scrubbed.

"We do that to make sure those with detentions on the first day have something to do," Madame Pomfrey stated from her office.

James worked on one side while Sirius worked on the other. They neared the window. James looked outside.

"Madame Pomfrey?" he asked. "What's that tree?" He pointed to the tree with moving branches.

"Oh that," she said flustered, walking out of her office. "That's the Whomping Willow. Dumbledore decided the grounds needed more excitement. It was planted just this summer. I warn you though. Stay away, that tree will crush anything in reaching distance." With that, she walked back into her office.

"Dumbledore's mental," Sirius exclaimed. "Putting something that dangerous on the grounds."

"When was Dumbledore not mental?" James asked, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Suddenly a long howl came out of nowhere. James and Sirius grabbed each other and stayed close. They finally calmed down.

"I won't tell if you won't," James said.

"Deal," Sirius said, both boys shaking hands. "What do you think that was?"

"Probably a wolf," James stated. "They live in the Forbidden Forest."

"Sounded like a werewolf," Sirius whispered so Madame Pomfrey wouldn't here. She had come out of her office to make sure they were doing their job. Satisfied, she went back in her office.

"Oh come on. There are no werewolves at Hogwarts." With that statement, he turned back to detention work. "Be serious."

"I am Sirius," Sirius whined. James banged his head against the wall. Now he knew how Remus felt.

"Let's see," Peter mumbled. He was working on his Herebology homework. "Three plants that are used in everyday potions." He grumbled. "I'll ask James." He got up and sat back down. "Oh yeah, detention." He thought again. "I'll ask Remus. Wait, he went to visit his mum." He sighed.

Giving up, he grabbed another piece of homework. This was for Potions. "Okay. A way to put a stopper on death," he read off the sheet. He banged his head on the table. He knew he was not going to pass his classes.



Alone in a ratty old shack, laid a disliked creature of the wizard world. He was helpless and alone. He howled long and hard, gnashing at his body and yelping in pain. It was all he could do.

The neighboring village heard the cries and blamed ghosts. A respected wizard told them it was true. The house was haunted. The man knew no one should know the secret. He of course knew everyone would find out. But for now, it's a secret that must be kept.

A secret the world won't want to know.

Boring ending I know but I had to write something about Remus. It actually didn't flow either. Pooh for me. Anyway Review! Pretty-Pretty Please with a Cherry on Top. Mmm! CHERRIES!
