Pov Lily

Why does Moon say things like that. How can she consider herself a monster. Moon is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Everyone has a dark side and she comes out once a month, but that doesn't make her a monster. I follow her into her dorm and sit next to her on the bed. "Moon?" I ask "What is it?" she asks "Why do you say you are a monster?" I ask "Always after a full moon when Sirius has helped me he is covered with scratches and wounds and the last time you were with me I hurt you. I am a monster!" Moon says. "You're not, Sirius and I choose to help you. We already knew there were risks, but we don't care if it's more bearable for you." I say "And Sirius is your twin brother, that must also mean something, he loves you very much." I say, "I know, I'm just scared." says Moon and she starts sobbing. "Can we talk about something else?" she asks. "Sure, let's talk about the guy you like." I say

"Okay, I like Remus." I say "I ship you!" says Lily happily. I smile at her. "Are you going to sleep here tonight?" I ask "But that's not allowed." protests Lily "Come on, let's have fun!" I say "Your definition of cozy usually has something to do with Firewiskey." says Lily "That's not true!" I say "Okay I'll stay." Lily says "Yes!" I say and I give Lily a hug. "What are you so happy about?" asks James. "Yeah, you two had a fight." Sirius says "Sirius, we never argue, and we're so happy because Lily is staying here and we're going to have some fun." I say "By the way, do any of you have any idea how I can get Firewiskey?" I ask "I told you your definition of cozy with Firewiskey was!" says Lily "Kitchens." Sirius says, completely ignoring Lily. "Can we join too?" asks James "Sure" I say and Lily protests. "Who's going to the kitchens?" I ask "I'll go with you." Remus says "Okay, let's go!" I say and we walk to the kitchens.

"And I just thought you always followed the rules." I say when we're on our way to the kitchens. "With James and Sirius as best friends, you can't play by the rules." says Remus "That's true." I say "What were you and Lily arguing about?" asks Remus. "About...it's really stupid." I say "Come on it can never be that stupid!" Remus says. "It was about boys." I say "Lily admitted she likes James, you can't tell James by the way. Lily killed me. Lily wanted to know who I liked, and for some very stupid reason I didn't want to tell." I say "Okay that is indeed a strange reason for an argument." says Remus in agreement. We stop in front of the portrait with the fruit bowl and Remus tickles the pear, the portrait flies open and a house elf rushes towards us. "What can Kiki do for you?" asks the house elf "Can we have twenty bottles of Firewiskey-" I say and I get an angry look from Remus "-and twenty bars of chocolate?" I ask "Of course ma'am and sir." says Kikiwe have the Firewiskey and chocolate we walk back to the dorm. When we get there, the rest have all the beds pushed together. We'll be there. "What are we actually going to do?" Sirius asks "The question game?" Lily suggests "Okay" I say "Does anyone know how it works?" asks Lily. James and Remus shake their heads, where Peter is no one knows, as usual. "It's very simple, everyone takes a sip of truth potion and then you take turns taking a card with a question and you ask it to someone of your choice, if someone doesn't want to answer you drink a cup of firewiskey." I tell "Who starts?" Sirius asks "I'll go!" says James and takes a card. We all drink a sip of truth potion. "To Moon." says James and he looks at me. "Who was your first crush?" asks James. "Simple, that was you." I say. Sirius looks at me incredulously. "Him? Of all the guys did you have a crush on James?" he asks. "Yes, I was still very small and not quite right in my head I think." I answer and everyone laughs. "Moon has to take a card!" says James. I take a card. "To Lily. Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex, and if so, who?" I ask "You already know that answer, yes with you." says Lily and the boys look at her questioningly. "We were very, very drunk." I say and Lily takes a card. "To James. What are you most afraid of?" asks Lily "Um...There was something when Moon and I were little, but I won't say what, but I'm afraid it might happen again." answer James and I know exactly what he means, my illness. James takes a card. "To Moon. When and with whom was your first kiss?" asks James. This is embarrassing. "My first and, incidentally, only kiss was on that drunken night with Lily." I say "That was really the only one?" asks James "She drank the potion of truth she can't lie!" says Remus. I take a card.To Remus. Have you ever sneaked out of the house while your parents thought you were sleeping?" I ask. "No," Remus says simply and he takes a card. "To Sirius. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?" Remus asks. "Reem, everyone here knows I'm an animagus. A dog, of course!" Sirius says and he changes into his animal form. Everyone laughs and Sirius changes back and takes a card.

Pov James

"To Moon. What was your biggest secret as a kid?" asks Sirius. Moon immediately turns white. No one knew she was sick, just her healers and me. "I don't want to answer that." says Moon and she drinks a glass of firewiskey. She takes a card and turns to Remus. "To Remus." she says. "Supposing you were to rob Gringotts, who would you do it with? And why that person?" she asks "With Lily, because she is the only one with brains here." Remus says and takes a card. "To Moon. Have you flirted with anyone to get something done, if so with whom?" asks Remus. "Yes, with a healer at St. Mungo's. It didn't work, by the way." she says laughing and I laugh too. "What's so funny?" Sirius asks. "We played a prank and didn't want to get into trouble, so seven-year-old Moon started flirting with one of the healers." I say between laughs. Moon takes a card. "To Lily. Who did you have a crush on last year?" asks Moon "Um...Remus." says Lily. Painful crush on one of my best friends. Lily takes a card. "To Moon. Would you kiss someone for 5 galleons, and if so, who?" asks Lily "Yes, I think James or Remus." she says.
