Father and Mother,

I miss you, don't you miss me at all?

Remy

Ramona so desperately wants her parents approval but lately it seems the rift between them has widen to great lengths. They didn't even want her back for the Yule holidays because of the full moon.

Black is still being a bully to Ramona, with the pranks. Ramona tries to one up him but he laughs it off and ups his game. Ramona has suspicion Peter is helping .. Black's style is improving and not so boring.

"cadere," hisses Ramona to Sirius's retreating back.

The spell makes him trip and fall, Sirius turns to face Ramona but still sitting on the ground before he gets a chance to hex Ramona disarms him.

"YOU listen to me and listen to me well. IF i wanted to tell you I would have. Do you want to be my friend or not?"

.. "Friends don't let friends play around with Dark Arts!"

Sirius gets up and grabs Ramona's shoulders, "I have been around the Dark Arts since I can remember and I sense it .. ON YOU and you just don't know what you're dealing with, OK! Just stop it!"

Ramona backs away from his touch and growls, "Leave me alone. I surrender, you win the war so just leave me be."

Even though Sirius followed her wishes Ramona wishes he doesn't. To distract herself she continues her map of Hogwarts. When exploring the castle with the boys she started a map to make sure they didn't explore places more then once, James is the only one that loves her map idea.

As the morning owl posts comes Ramona notices her father's owl. It's been a few weeks since she sent that letter.

Ramona Lupin,

That isn't something we can answer via post. I am sorry though, I never wanted things to be like this.

Father.

Neither did Ramona, with angry tears starting to form she rushes out of the hall. With the comfort of the Library calling her she rushes there, her sanctuary, her escape from her pain.

After a few hours though her homework is done. As she is about to leave Lily sits down with a hesitant Snape sitting down after her.

"So have you done herb work Ramona?"

Ramona nods and continues her packing of her bag.

"Care to help us? We're not so good at it .."

"I don't need your pity, you two are the best at potions as if you have any problems with herb." interrupts Ramona.

Lily sniffs, "Well I .. fine, can't you stay with us anyway? Until your fight is over with the other boys you .. I wouldn't mind being your friend, you're not alone. You don't need them, they are pranking bullies and they don't leave you alone."

Snape awkwardly crosses his arms, "They prank you too? .. but you're a lion."

Ramona smirks, "Why would that save me from pranks? I was actually contemplating a prank on James."

"Oh really," whispers Lily interested.

Seeing Sirius, James and Peter running around the castle carefree, laughing, pranking is infuriating for Ramona. Envy rearing it's ugly head. Lily is a nice person but Ramona doesn't like the pity, Lily prefers Severus's and Mary's company and Ramona can tell. The boys won't leave the question about her sickness alone so she CAN'T stay friends with them.

Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt!

After attacking the furniture and the door the Wolf howls in pain and in yearning to be free. The Wolf is angry .. the wolf is angry for lack of pack and lack of freedom. The Wolf smells close underneath the door and snorts angrily. The Wolf starts howling and biting herself.

Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt!

With wobbly legs Ramona passes the stunned whomping willow but doesn't make it far, collapsing to her knees in pain. Hairs on the back of her head stand up. Danger! Danger! Danger!

Ramona lifts her wand and follows her Wolf instincts. She points to an area not far from her near a bush.

"Show yourself." hisses Ramona.

After a slight shimmer appears her three friends. The troublemakers.

"So, you hide out behind an attack tree when you're sick? .. If you don't tell us why we will follow you down there," announces James.

Ramona's eyes widen in shock, "NO you won't, don't you dare .."

"WE WILL unless you talk to us right now, we are not giving you a choice on this Remy." sneers Sirius.

Ramona shakes in anger and in shock, Ramona has no choice but to tell them. Ramona casts a stunning spell on the knot and informs the three boys to follow her down to her ... shack.
