A/N: So sorry guys. I haven't updated all week and I practically said I would. Though I do have some excuses even though there not very good. I need internet for this chapter and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I had none. On Thursday and Friday, I can't even remember what I did and yesterday I woke up mid-day and went to a concert later that evening so I was sort of busy. BUT ALSO, I wrote the start of this chapter during the week but I didn't save it and went my dad turn my computer fully off because the internet wasn't working properly because of the thunder and lightening, word hasn't 'recovered' it, sadly. Today, my brother Jack changed his pass code on his IPad and forgot what I was so I had to fix it for about 2 whole hours when I was MEANT to be writing! Let's start from the beginning again! YAY!

DEDICATED TO: WIKIPEDIA, FOR ALL THE INFO. CHEERS.

DISCLAIMER: YEAH, HARRY POTTER AIN'T MINE.

-CONVERSATION OF THE CHAPTER-

ME: So basically, I couldn't think of anyone to speak to during this chapter unfortunately so I decided I would talk to you and well, myself because I AM AWESOME LIKE THAT!

First off, WARNING! This chapter contains lots of information you may or may not find boring, personally I find it a lot to deal with so I won't be offended if you just skim or skip it or whatever. Also, while we're on the topic of information, THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA! I wouldn't have this information without you. You know what; I don't think I've dedicated a chapter to a website before… I don't think anyone has…

Oh well. IT'S GOOD TO BE DIFFERENT!

Speaking of being difference, you may or may not have guessed from the last chapter that this chapter is where James and Sirius go and do some certain research on a certain something in a certain Hogwarts library about one of their certain best friends. Certain best friends? That doesn't even make sense.

Oh well. YOLO! Yeah people. It's motto time!

So I reckon I should stop now, so you can read the chapter or maybe you've already started it because you skip my conversations of the chapters…

Oh well. I've said oh well 3 times now.

Oh well. FOUR!

Bye guys. Hope you like the chapter!

'We're going to the library Sirius.'

'What?'

'Not this again,' James sighed. 'You did this before when I was telling you about going to visit Gracie.' He rolled his eyes.

'Well sorry,' Sirius huffed. 'Sometimes these things take time to digest.'

'Well, while it digests, I'm going upstairs to get the invisibility cloak so we don't get caught.' James said, starting to climb the steps to the dormitory.

'WE? JAMES POTTER THERE IS NO WE!' Sirius yelled up the stairs jokingly.

'OKAY SIRIUS!' James chuckled, opening his trunk and picking up the invisibility cloak that had been in his family for generations.

He headed back downstairs only to be met with a stone-faced Sirius.

'James Potter,' Sirius cleared his throat. 'I have spoken to my- er- self and have decided that I will go no further with you on your mission if you do not tell me what the mission is.'

James gave Sirius an odd look.

'That was rather a large mouthful. You're acting really serious.'

'Well of course. I am-'

James cut him off.

'Not this again. I'll explain when we get there.'

'Because you are my friend I will come with you. But if we are at the library and what you tell me does not spark my interest I will have to leave!' Sirius cried dramatically.

'Yeah. Okay. Whatever.' James muttered and through the cloak over them.

James pushed the portrait hole open and they left the Gryffindor common room, ignoring the Fat Lady's cries.

'Where are you? What are you doing? Come back!'

They arrived quite quickly at the library without meeting Filch and/or Mrs Norris.

The doors creaked loudly as they opened it.

The library was dark and you could hardly see a thing. Only some light came from the windows and all it did was create shadows.

'Okay,' Sirius whispered. 'What are we doing here?'

'I had this feeling.' James started off.

'You had a feeling.' Sirius repeated.

'Yes, that the full moon had something to do with Remus's disappearances.'

'Okay…'

'I know it doesn't sound very believable but-'

'Look James, if you had a feeling that's great. So why don't we act on that feeling and go and try and find some information?'

'That's a great idea,' James answered. 'But, we need to see. Lumos.'

James's wand tip lit up and next to him, Sirius did the same.

James asked hopefully.

'Not a clue. How do we even know if there is any books on full moons is this library?'

'It's the Hogwarts library Sirius. There's bound to be books on nearly anything.'

'For once, he's right.'

The voice made them jump.

'Hey!' James said reflectively, then putting a hand over his mouth.

'Oh it's you.' Sirius said bitterly.

It seemed Sirius had located the speaker before James.

James finally discovered who it was to find 'The Man in the Portrait' in a picture frame of a meadow full of daisies.

'Loving the background,' Sirius snorted. 'Are you making a daisy chain for yourself?'

The Man in the Portrait through Sirius a glare.

'No I'm not,' The Man in the Portrait said. 'Now, do you want my help or not?'

'Actually-'

James placed a hand over Sirius's mouth.

'We'd love your help. Wouldn't we Sirius?'

Sirius protests were muffled.

'So can you tell us where the books on the full moons are?' James asked.

'Keep going ahead, turn left, then right and then the 7th row. You should find books on moon cycles and the like.' The Man in the Portrait replied boredly.

'Thanks.' James said.

'You're welcome.'

'Are you going to tell on us?' Sirius questioned after finally removing James's hand from covering his mouth.

'No. I have no proof anyway. I'm talking to fin air.'

In some sort of way he was speaking the truth. To him, James and Sirius were invisible. He could only hear their voices.

'Now I'm off. Good luck.' The Man in the Portrait left.

'C'mon.' James muttered.

They followed The Man in the Portrait's instructions and found themselves in front of a whole section dedicated to moons.

'Let's take some books and go.' Sirius said.

'Why?'

'Filch might have a nose in and that portrait do might be spying on us.' Sirius said quietly.

'Fine.'

James quickly scanned for some books that might be of use.

'The Lunar Phase by Donald Williams' 'Full Moon Names by Quentin Robertson' 'Lunar and Lunisolar Calendars by Carole Pederson' 'Lunar Eclipses by Jane Rodd' 'The Full Moon- All You Need To Know by Kieran Davidson'

James stared at the books he and Sirius had collected in front of him. They hadn't gotten many; they wouldn't have been able to carry them all.

James and Sirius decided they would read the books in the kitchens for privacy.

That's where they were now.

They each had a book each and were skimming through it.

'This one is useless,' Sirius said, picking up 'Full Moon Names by Quentin Robertson.' 'Listen to this:Historically, month names are names of moons in lunisolar calendars. Since the introduction of the solar Julian calendar in the Roman Empire, and later the Gregorian calendar worldwide, month names have ceased to be perceived as "moon names". The traditional Old English month names were equated with the names of the Julian calendar from an early time. Some full moons have developed new names in modern times, e.g. the blue moon, and the names "harvest moon" and "hunter's moon" for the full moons of autumn. Then it just lists all of the names.'

'Put it to one side and pick up another.' James replied, not looking up from his own book 'The Lunar Phase by Donald Williams'

'A full moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is completely illuminated as seen from the Earth. This occurs when the Moon is in opposition with the Sun (when it is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun). This means that the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing the Earth (the near side is almost fully illuminated by the Sun and appears round (while the far side is almost completely unilluminated).' James read out.

'Basically, it when the moon looks like a silver circle.' Sirius said, flicking through 'Lunar and Lunisolar Calendars by Carole Pederson.'

'A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the lunar phase. Because there are about twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, this period (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a lunar year. The time interval between similar lunar phases—the synodic month—averages about 29.53 days. Therefore, in those lunar calendars in which each month begins on the new moon, the full moon falls on either the 14th or 15th of the lunar month. Because lunar months have a whole number of days, lunar months may be either 29 or 30 days long. Then all the dates of the Full Moons are listen in the past and present. I guess you want them written down?'

'Not all of them Sirius just the next ones until the end of the year.' James said.

Sirius asked a House-Elf who turned out to be Toby for a something to write on and with.

Toby returned soon after with some parchment, ink and a quill.

Sirius wrote down the dates.

'Lunar eclipses can occur only at full moon, where the moon's orbit allows it to pass through the Earth's shadow. Lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the moon usually passes above or below the Earth's shadow (which is mostly restricted to the ecliptic plane). Lunar eclipses can occur only when the full moon occurs near the two nodes of the orbit, either the ascending or descending node. This causes eclipses to only occur about every 6 months, and often 2 weeks before or after a solar eclipse at new moon at the opposite node,' Sirius read out from 'Lunar Eclipses by Jane Rodd' ' I really do not get half of this stuff. I mean, why not just call it the silver circle that happens once a month like I do?'

James rolled his eyes.

'Because it's too simple. Not everyone likes simple.'

'This is the last one,' James said, holding up 'The Full Moon- All You Need To Know by Kieran Davidson.'

'Why didn't we read that one in the first place? It says all you need to know.'

James shrugged.

'It just mentions the same stuff as all the other ones.'

'All you need to know. I need it.' Sirius muttered.

'Wait.'

'I know that look,' Sirius said, eyeing James suspiciously. 'You've found what you were looking for.'

'I have,' James nodded. 'Listen to this: Every full moon, Humans or Half-Breeds as they are sometimes called change into their Wolf form for the night. Werewolves are very dangerous during the full moon and should not be approached as they will bite you and turn you into a Werewolf as well even if you are a friend or foe because they, with their minds taken over, do not know any difference. Many people have been bitten and do not survive the bite or the first transformation. There is no current cure.'

'James…' Sirius said slowly.

'Hmm?'

'You think Remus is a Werewolf don't you?' Sirius asked warily.

'Uh… yes. I'm not completely sure. It just Remus seems to be gone during the full moon time and once I heard a howl during the full moon…'

'Let's not jump to any conclusions first okay?'

'Okay,' James agreed. 'I think the best thing is to see when he next disappears and see if they are around the next full moons.'

'Agreed.'

'We won't speak a word of this to anybody. Not until we're sure.' James said.

'Agreed.

'If he is a Werewolf we will still stick by him because he is our friend.'

'Agreed.'
