The young Marauders and the Golden Trio
Chapter4: What's your name?
~Remus~
It felt awkward going into a stranger's car, but what choice did we have? If we didn't we would probably be walking around this area for hours and not find a single house in sight.
I reached into my jeans pocket and handed out a block of chocolate to my friends who accepted it eagerly, they must off been very hungry with all that walking, I wasn't starving, but I could of done with something sweet.
"Looks like a storm is coming tonight boys" said the lady nodding to where a bunch of black clouds were hovering over a nearby forest, to tell the truth I was surprised to see that on one side it was sky blue and sunshine but the other looked liked something dark was drawing near.
"Yeah looks bad" mumbled Sirius "I hope we can get someone in time to get my motorbike working before the storm comes too near"
"Oh you shouldn't worry about it" replied the woman "it is not suppose to rain until the full moon is up"
"I beg your pardon" I shot "the full moon is not till tomorrow night"
"No it is today, they made a mistake" replied the lady "this morning they predicted an early full moon which doesn't happen very often"
"An early full moon" repeated James and Sirus and then looked worriedly at me, I couldn't explain how scared I was, I couldn't even imagine what my friends were thinking, did my parents know? If they did find out they would sprint to the Potters in an instant and then they would try to look for me all around London and the wizard world and then they would find out I'm one hundred miles or more away from home and I might even end up killing someone or worse turn them into something like me. I put my head in my hands not knowing what to say. It was Sirus who broke the silence
"So when is the full moon?"
"Oh I don't know" said the lady warily "about six or seven a clock around then, even though its summer its sill dark early"
We kept on driving on the rocky road not saying a word to each other; we had to get me home before the full moon was up, we just hoped this kind lady should find us some help before it was too late.
We arrived a few minutes later in a little village with small stone brick houses and little markets selling fruit and vegetables, there were even bakers and butchers. There were only a few people around; you would think a place like this would be swarming with people on a Saturday afternoon. We suddenly came to a stop at the biggest house in the village, well it wasn't big really it was just bigger than the others it looked like it could fit a family of three in. We jumped out of the car the lady made her way to the front door she didn't bother to get out her key it just opened. Perhaps village people don't have to worry about break-ins.
She led the way as we followed her into the house. She led us into the small kitchen and told us to sit at the table while she made some tea. The Kitchen was rather small and simple there was an oven, sink and some cupboards and the table we sat at but nothing else, we watched her as she boiled the kettle
"Remus" whispered Sirus pulling me out of my thoughts "you don't happen to have more of the delicious chocolate have you"
"Sirus" snapped James "you're going to have a cup of tea in a minute don't be so rude"
"But I don't like tea" he whined
"Then you haven't tried my tea" said the woman as she put three cups of tea in front of us
"Thank you" I said trying to be polite as I took a sip of sweet warm tea, James did the same but Sirus was just staring at the drink in disgust as if it was my mother's pumpkin soup, and trust me there is nothing worse than mothers pumpkin soup.
"So do you boys live around hear" the woman asked breaking the silence,
"No" I answered "my friends live in London but I live just outside London in a little village by the woods"
"You have come a long journey then up north"
"Yes" said James "it's been some ride" taking anther sip of the tea
"And you boys came here on a motorbike?" She asked, we nodded "well then if you want you could spend the night here it takes hours to get a motorbike fixed and you would need somewhere to stay"
"NO!" we panicked; we couldn't let this stranger know I'm a werewolf or that we are wizards,
"Only the wheel is broken" said Sirus "it will only take a minute then we will be on our way"
"Very well then" she said getting up to leave the table "I shall call the local mechanic, he lives a few blocks away, stay in hear and don't cause any mischief I shall be back soon."
When she was just about to leave I stopped her
"What is your name?" I asked, she smiled and answered
"Joanne Rowling" and with that she walked out the door
For those who don't know Joanne Rowling it is Jk Rowling's real name!
