It was two weeks before Halloween and Hermione and Remus could be found in the Library every day. Everyone thought they were studying but they were really looking for a reason how Hermione got to the 70's.

"It's getting late we should go to back to the common room before curfew." Hermione said after about an hour of futile searching.

"You're probably right," Remus said closing the book he had been reading with a yawn.

Meanwhile in the common room:

"James, James, James," Sirius yelled, running through the portrait hole and up to James out of breath.

"What, what, what," James replied laughing at the Sirius as he tried to catch his breath.

"Halloween is in two weeks," Sirius said excitedly.

"Yes Sirius it is," James said slowly.

"Ya, and I have a brilliant idea," Sirius continued ignoring James' last comment.

"Okay and what would that be?" James prodded.

"I was thinking-," Sirius began.

"You were thinking?" James asked in surprise.

"Oh, haha very funny," Sirius sarcastically said, "Any ways, as I was saying, I was thinking that you, Remus, Hermione, and I should pull a prank on Halloween." Just as Sirius said this, Remus and Hermione walked through the common room entrance.

"Perfect timing, we were just discussing a prank for us to pull on Halloween night at the feast," James explaned to the two new arrivals. By the cautious looks the two gave each other Sirius began to explain his plan with a devious glint in his eyes, "I was thinking-," Sirius gave James a look daring him to say anything, "we would enchant the ceiling in the Great Hall and make the pumpkins to sing. So you guys want to help?"

Sirius looked at Hermione first and she appeared to ponder the idea for a minute before she finally gave a cautious answer.

"Okay, it sounds fun." Hermione gave in. Sirius and James seemed happy with this answer. "What about you Remus?" Hermione asked turning to him as she spoke.

"Um… no- I – I can't," He stuttered.

"Oh , why not?" James asked sounding a little disappointed.

"I… have… detention," Remus said, "Why would you say that? They aren't going to believe that," He thought.

"You have detention, on Halloween?" Sirius said, "What did you do?" he asked curiously and feeling slightly proud that his friend got detention, but a little sad that he can't help with the prank.

"I-ah- was looking at some of the magical animals and he didn't like that and gave me detention," Remus lied, "That sounds believable," he thought.

"Why do you have to go on Halloween," James asked curiously.

"I don't know. I heard him mutter something about the full moon," Remus hopped he was not giving away too much about where he really was going. He was being picked up around 4:00 from the common room by Hagrid and he would be lead to the Whomping Willow and from there he would travel through a tunnel system to the Shrieking Shack. "I have to go to him once every month."

"Wow, for how long?" Hermione asked. Remus had forgotten she was there because she had been so quiet.

"Um… I'm not sure," Remus hopped they would just drop the topic, "So how were you planning on pulling this whole thing off anyways?" He asked in hopes of changing the subject.

"Well…" Sirius began trying to figure out where to start, "You know how the third years go to Hogmeade?" Sirius asked.

"Ya, I can't wait till we get to go," James commented.

"There you are, Hermione, come with me," Lily said walking down the stairs, "Alice and I need your help with something," she said grabbing her hand and dragging her back up the stairs. Hermione complied and waved buy to the boys.

"Okay, anyways I gave one of the third years some money and asked him to go to Zonko's Joke Shop and buy me a joke book. When he came back he gave it to me, and I looked through it and found a few interesting spells in it," Sirius explained.

The next two weeks James, Sirius, Remus and Hermione could be found huddled around a piece of parchment in the corner of the common room. All though Remus could not actually take part in the prank, because of his "detention", he still figured he could help plan it. Remus was surprised at how devious Hermione could be. She had contributed quite a bit to the prank, and she even suggested they make the pumpkins sing some muggle song she told them about called, "This is Halloween," and they all agreed.

Two days before Halloween Hermione noticed Remus was becoming very pale and was continually glancing at the moon at night when the four friends were gathered in the common room.

"Hey you okay?" Hermione wrote down of a piece of parchment and slid it to him. She noticed he was shaking. They were sitting in Defense Against the Dark Arts and he seemed like he was spacing out. She knew the class was his favorite and if he was not paying attention then something was wrong.

"Ya, I'm just not feeling well," he wrote down and passed it back to her.

"Mr. Lupin and Mrs. Granger, my class is not a place for social time it is a place for learning. Twenty points from Gryffindor, that's ten each. In the future I would appreciate you not passing notes," Professor Alvarez sternly said as he took the parchment they were writing on and put it on his desk.

After class Remus went straight to the Hospital Wing.

"Can I see Remus, please?" Hermione asked.

"He is not seeing anyone at the moment dear," Madam Pomfrey told her, giving her a sympathetic look.

No one saw Remus the remaining day until Halloween, and everyone was becoming worried. None of them was more concerned that Hermione.

Hey hope you all liked it. I was planning on having this a Halloween chapter but I'll do that next chapter.
