Lupin's Arrow [ON HIATUS]

Back

It was just after the new year and the rest of the Marauders were coming back. I didn't really want to tell the others we were together but Remus did.

We agreed that a week after they got back we'd tell them. It was hard not kissing Remus or do anything with him that we did before. We used the library as an excuse to meet up throughout the week.

I never thought I'd be with a marauder, much less one I actually like. It was a day before we were supposed to tell them and the Marauders were planning pranks. I don't know where they do it but I want to be apart of it. I was a little upset but I understood.

I was up in the astronomy tower looking at Draco and Ursa Major. I love astronomy, the stars and the moon are one of the most amazing things you could see on the planet.

I was about to write what else I could see when I saw three figures running towards the whomping willow. I aimed my telescope at them to see James, Sirius, and Peter. Peter shifted into a small creature and stopped the whomping willow's spinning branches.

I watched for another seconds as they all went in. I immediately raced down to the field following them. "Immobulus," I said casting the freezing charm. I went through the hole under the tree and walked a long way through the tunnel.

"What the hell are they doing down here," I whispered to myself. The tunnel stopped and led into a house. It was so broken and tattered, it must be the Shrieking Shack! It didn't seem to haunted to me, or so I thought until I heard creaking above me.

I walked up the stairs with my wand out ready for anything. I carefully walked around confused as to where the boys were and where I was.

I heard a deep long howl not to far away from me and I began backing up. The floor board creaked under me and I was met with a big werewolf. I stood still staring at it before coming back to my senses.

"Flipendo," I yelled sending the lycanthrope back against the wall. The pieces of the wall boards fell on them and they were whining, I felt so bad for doing that. Someone grabbed me and pulled me into a hole.

I freaked out a bit and was about to scream when the covered my mouth. It was James and he placed a finger over his mouth. I pulled his hand off my mouth and sat quiet for a bit. "James, what the hell is going on?!" I asked in a whisper.

"How'd you get in here first off?" He whispered back. "I followed you, Sirius, and Peter," I responded. "Where's Remus, and the other two? Did you guys know there was a werewolf in here?" I whispered. "Yes we knew there was a werewolf," he mumbled.

"Oh wow first crazy pranksters and now suicidal?! What's next?!" I responded. "Why would you guys deliberately put yourselves in danger?!" I asked. "I'm letting Sirius take care of this," James whispered.

"James Potter don't you dare leave me in here alone!" I whispered furiously. The small hole was only big enough for two people and a little space in between them. I honestly wouldn't mind the werewolf but I could be killed if they found me.

I heard the creaking get quieter and quieter and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. The plank moved again and this time it was Sirius. After he placed the plank back I threw my arms around him.

"You're lucky you're still alive!" I whispered. "Of course I'm alive, why wouldn't I be? We do this every full moon." Sirius whispered back. "Does Remus know? Where is he?" I asked.

He put his hands over his mouth and shook his head. "I've already said to much..." he whispered. I released Sirius from my tight grip and gave him a nervous smile. He smiled back and did something unexpected. He kissed me! I immediately broke away and stared at him. "I-I'm sorry S-Sirius I just don't like you like t-that," I whispered turning away.

"It's okay, I had to shoot my shot," he whispered back placing a hand on my shoulder. I smiled looking at him and gave him a hug.

I laid my head on his shoulder extremely tired. "If I'm not here when you wake up don't freak out, I'm just checking if it's okay to go," Sirius whispered. I nodded a bit letting sleep take me away.

I woke up with the sun shining through the small holes. Sirius was gone like he said he probably would. I peeked from behind the plank.

James and Sirius were pulling Remus from ruble of planks. I put a hand over my mouth as tears slipped from my eyes.
