Chapter 23: End of Third Year
It was a few days later when I was able to leave the hospital wing. I missed the last Quidditch match. But we won the Quidditch cup so that was good. Remus help me back to the common room.
My body felt like I haven't used it in years not two months. It felt like I got my bum kick. He helped me get through the portrait hole. Then helped me to the couch. No one was back from dinner yet so we just sat there. I put my head on his shoulder.
"How are you feeling Mercy?"
He said in a soft voice. I took a deep breath then said.
"Feels like I got hit over and over by bludgers. My body hurts and I don't know why."
He put one arm around my waist. Over the next hour people started to come back from dinner.
"Go get something to eat Remus I be fine."
He looked at me.
"Are you sure?"
He asked. I nodded and then watched him leave. I was about to get up and head to bed when someone sat next to me. I looked over to see Sirius there I blinked a few times. "How are you Wicked?"
I rolled my eyes.
"I be fine in a few days."
Then the other two came over and asked the same thing. I told them the same thing. Since I been in the hospital wing for two months I didn't have to go to my lessons for the rest of the year.
I forgot that Remus wasn't sitting beside me. Cause I put my head on Sirius's shoulder and I felt him tensed up. I looked at him and pulled away.
"Sorry Sirius thought you were Remus."
Then Remus came in and walked over to us. Sirius got up and Remus took his spot. Then I put my head on his shoulder as one arm went around my waist.
The full moon was tomorrow night and I couldn't wait to be on all fours again. They told me when I was out cold I changed when the full moon came and changed back when the sun came up.
It wasn't the same as being awake when it happens. Remus was looking sicker then earlier today.

The next night my body didn't hurt a lot. So I went down to the forest and changed. I stayed in the shadows till I saw the willow stop moving.
Then a huge black dog came out of nowhere and went down the hole. Then someone came to the woods and James pulled off his invisibility cloak. He saw me and he followed me to where I had my stuff at.
He put his cloak with it then change into his stag from. We waited for a while then came the wolf and dog. I looked at James and then we took off running to them. All three of them came to meet us.
Remus ran straight to me and started to sniff me. I sniffed him back and then licked his snout. He looked shocked then I took off at a nice jog.
The others followed me and we roamed Hogsmeade and the grounds. We found a lot of things for the map they started to work on.
They started the map when we were fighting. I was helping them out with it. Remus kept close beside me as we ran around. I sniffed around and they followed me as I sniffed.

After the full moon was there exams. So I just hanged with Sky and the others in the music room. I sat on the desk and just listen to the music that they were playing. It was good music to dance to.
I was started to get bored just sitting here doing nothing. Then jumping off the desk and headed for the door.
"Were are you going?"
Sky asked. I turned and looked at him.
"Lunch is about to start so I'm going to go and eat. I be back after that."
Then left the room. As I walked down the hall I heard something coming from a old class room. I opened it a inch and saw Sirius and a girl named Annabelle shagging on the desk.
They didn't see me so I closed the door and walked off. Something inside me felt like it broke. But at the same time I felt something roar with rage. I didn't know why I was feeling like this.
My feet took me to the great hall and I didn't notice were I was going. I flung my self in the seat next to James and Peter.
"Whats up with you? You look like you are going to kill someone."
Peter squeaked. James and Remus looked at me.
"Wormtail is right what happened?"
I didn't say anything I just put foot on my plate and started to eat. They waited for a while but when I didn't say anything they started to eat.
When we were half way through eating. Sirius and that girl came over to sit with us. I didn't look up at them. Annabelle ran a finger up and down Sirius arm.
Why am I acting like this for?
I asked my self. So what I saw one of my best mates shagging. Boys do that with girls. I finished eating.
"Good luck with your exams guys."
Then I got up and left. But as I walked away that Annabelle spoke.
"I think she faked what happened so she could get out of the exams."
I slowed down. Remus came to my defiance first.
"If she did then how did she fool the headmaster? And she was out cold and there is no potion for that ether."
She must have gave him a look.
"I don't know but I know she is faking it."
I didn't want to hear what else she was going to say so I left the hall. I went back to the music room.

So the exams were over now. And it was about time to leave for the summer holiday. Lily was helping me pack. Some parts of my body was still sore.
"So what are you going to do this summer?"
Lily asked me. I smiled at her.
"I don't know yet and you?"
She let out a sigh.
"I don't know but I be happy when I get away from that bloody James Potter."
I looked at her.
"What do you mean? What did he do to you?"
What did I miss in the two months I was out of it? She looked at me.
"He took a fancy to me. He has been playing pranks on me. Telling me that he fancy's me. Asking me to go out with him but I see him with a lot of girls."
I nodded.
"That's the leader of the marauders for you."
She nodded with me. James you idiot if you like some one then don't be with other girls. I had to turn my face so Lily wont see me smile.
"If you like I could talk to him?"
Lily jumped and said in a fast voice.
"Oh! No don't do that please?"
I turned back.
"Ok I wont but if he does something to you that you don't like let me know and I get him back."
She smiled and gave me a hug. I hugged her back then finished packing. . .
