Adventure

Bored! Bored, bored, BORED! I wagged my tail restlessly, stirring up dust from the floor. I had to do something. My mind was racing, my paws itching for the feel of grass between my toes, my spirit hungry for adventure. Besides, this night only came once a month and I didn't want to waste curled up in the Shrieking Shack sleeping by the fire.

Prongs was lying next to me, his rack of antlers within my reach. I grabbed a point between my jaws and shook him awake. He jumped up, obviously perturbed and head-butted me in retaliation. I growled back playfully, jumping from side to side, wagging my tail and barking. Prongs stood still, not giving in to my antics.

I concentrated for a moment and felt the familiar ripple throughout my body. I flopped down on the old beaten up couch. A moment later James joined me.

"C'mon, man, let's do something! I'm going out of my mind here!"

James put a finger to his lips. "It looks like this new potion is working. Look, Moony is sleeping. Maybe that's a good thing."

I scoffed and gestured to our surroundings. The werewolf curled in a tight ball by the hearth and the rat cuddle up next to him. "How is this a good thing? Where's our fun, our monthly adventure?"

"You're not tired of our monthly adventures?"

"Are you kidding? We're eighteen, mate! We should be out there, living it up. Instead we're staying in like a bunch of grannies in the winter time."

James sighed and shook his head. He changed back into his animal form and went to our sleeping friends and nudged them awake. He looked at me. I grinned and became the dog again, my tail wagging madly and my tongue hanging out goofily. I ran around the room a few times, barking with excitement. Moony stood next to Prongs seemingly unimpressed, but hesitantly he joined me and the four of us finally made our way out into the early spring evening, the night before us, and all the adventure we could handle.
