"What? I don't- Sirius? Where did he go? James, where'd Sirius go?"
"I'm right here, Moony!" Remus gave a shout of surprise. His friends laughed with mad giddiness.
"What…?" Remus was shaking violently. Sirius took pity and went and knelt in front of him.
"We can come with you, Remus. We can, because we, James and Peter included, have become animagi."
