CHAPTER 19

2 years later.

"Bloody hell, I am never taking that ruddy class again!" Sirius whined, throwing his Divination text book down the staircase.

Audrey laughed and dramatically moved her hands, imitating their Professor. "You obviously don't have the gift, Sirius."

I loved to torture him about it.

"Yes, well not all of us were born special." Sirius replied, poking Audrey's nose.

Not only had Severus and Lily found out, James, Sirius and Peter did too. Remus had found out before all of them though…

During a cold fall Friday of my second year, I had a pretty awful day and decided to go out at night and take a walk in the woods. It was incredibly easy to slip out of the castle, I never understood why the boys would complain about getting caught without James' cloak.

Because it was damn well impossible not to get caught without that cloak!

As soon as Audrey had hit the last step outside of the castle, she summoned a rock and flew into the forest. She laughed, feeling the rush of wind through her hair. It had only been a few weeks into term and she missed flying already.

She had stopped safely in the dense forest, not bothering to bring her wand. Who needed one when you could do wandless magic? She lit all ten of her fingertips, and thought to herself. "I bet none of the other second years could do this."

"Audrey! What are you doing out so late?" scolded a familiar voice. She turned quickly.

Firenze, a centaur a few years older then her stood behind her with his arms crossed.

"I'm just taking a walk, Firenze. I need to clear my head." She replied calmly.

"Audrey, normally I would be fine with that. But tonight is not safe, it's written in the stars…" Firenze replied, pointing up to the sky.

Audrey resisted the urge to roll her eyes, though she and the centaurs occasionally had similar visions she thought she would have sensed that it would be a dangerous night. After all, she had sensed two weeks before the first Quidditch match of the year that James would get hit in the arm with a bludger. And she sensed that Sirius would get a months worth of detention for trying to hex Severus into the next millennium.

"Audrey, do you not see the moon?" Firenze asked, a hint of panic in his voice.

"Yes, it's full….but…we don't have any werewolves here." Audrey replied, looking at Firenze with a very puzzled expression.

Firenze said nothing more, his eyes widened and he galloped off with great speed. Audrey turned to find a werewolf approaching her.

I had never been so frightened before, too frightened to move. Where was my head?

The werewolf let out a whine, and slowly approached her. Audrey backed up against a tree, her eyes wide. She let them go red, figuring that most animals knew the color red as a warning signal…if she let them go black the wolf wouldn't see anyway. The forest was too dark.

She noticed that the wolf was pretty scrawny, and his eyes were incredibly familiar. A light brown, flecked with a hint of green.

It was a long shot, and I'm sure that if anyone saw me in the forest they'd think me mad…

"Remus?"

The wolf stuck out its tongue and licked her face.

"Ugh, Remus!" Audrey laughed, a little disgusted but thankful that it was him. It had explained a lot.

"You know." She said to the wolf. "I had a hunch you were a werewolf…"

Remus cocked his head as if to say "Oh really?"

Audrey nodded, Remus came closer, he was pointing with a paw at her eyes.

"You saw my eyes before tonight, didn't you?" Audrey asked.

The wolf gave a gruff nod, then looked towards the end of the forest, it seemed miles away.

"You want to go for a walk?" Audrey asked, unsure. The wolf gave an excited howl.

"I take that for a yes, then." She laughed.

I stayed out with Remus the whole night, and when he transformed once more in the morning I had the chance to fully explain to him everything. It felt nice, because I knew from the moment I met him that Remus and I weren't much different. Different species, but similar situations.

"It's not Audrey's fault she's special." Remus chimed in, grinning.

"Oh shut it, Remus. You're one of those special ones too." Sirius snorted. Sirius laughed.

"Well, now that our final exam is over, I have an announcement!" James said to their group.

"Oh god, what is it now?" Sarah replied, throwing her hair over her shoulder.

"I'm having a get together at my place at the end of August, you're all invited." James grinned. "We've got plenty of room, and a pool."

"I don't know if I could trust James and a pool…" Marlene whispered to Audrey, she nodded in agreement. James could fill the pool with jello, or something worse.

"When do you get back from Russia, Audrey?" James asked.

"I'll be back the second week of August." She grinned.

"Excellent, because Lily told me earlier she wouldn't dare step foot in my house unless you were there." James replied, a smirk forming on his features.

"I can understand why." piped up Sarah. "She's probably worried you'll try to rape her in the lavatory."

"I hadn't thought of that…" James said. "But thanks for the idea, Puffer."

Sarah began to protest, and the group of boys burst into laughter. Audrey shook her head, grabbed Sarah and Marlene's arms and set ahead of the boys.
