CHAPTER 9

"What's this?!" Jake asked as he held up a box of dog treats and a collar.

I began to giggle uncontrollably as he turned to look at me.

"Why is that so funny?" Ginny asked.

"Inside joke" I said after I calmed down. Then I pulled out his real present. A shit load of cash.

I didn't know what he would want so I just gave him a lot of money. I was about to open my presents when a scream could be heard from not to far away.

Jake and I ran back to the castle from our party at The Three Broomsticks as soon as we heard the horrible news. We found Harry, Ron and Hermione in a classroom along with Professor McGonagall and Snape.

I caught my breath and walked up behind them. Harry explained the situation and pointed towards the necklace and the case. I sniffed. I knew that scent. And apparently so did Jacob.

"Hey, I know-Ouff" I elbowed him hard in the ribs, probably cracking one. Well at least it shut him up.

"Yes Mr. Black?" Professor Snape asked.

"N-nothing!" He gasped.

He couldn't just go around saying he knew. How could he explain that? 'Im a werewolf, duh!' I don't think so.

Back to the incident. Why would he do that? I was going to find out no matter what.
