Five years had passed since Opal was finally placed into Gryffindor, many things had changed, James had developed a huge crush on Lily Evans in fourth year, despite her hating him, he was determined to get her to like him. "Going to marry her one day." he always said after every hex she shot at him. Sirius had become a player and had several girls chasing after him, Peter had become very sarcastic in third year and never looked back, and Remus told them his secret, well they found out.
22nd October 1972
"Don't you think it's weird that Remus always leaves once a month?" Opal asked.
Remus had left during the feast with Professor McGonagall.
The other boys lay in their beds, Peter was busy playing with a bobo bat that he had brought back from one of his cousins, James and Sirius were reading a quidditch magazine.
Opal lay on the fifth remaining bed; it had belonged to a student Kieron Algernon he'd transferred to Beauxbatons after three months.
"His mother is ill." Peter said, dodging the ball that almost hit his face.
"Yeah, I know but, his mother was ill last month, and now she's ill again. She can't be that ill can she?" Opal replied.
"Alright detective Opal, you might have to open an investigation." Sirius grinned at her, turning the page of his magazine.
"I'm just intrigued as to where he goes each month, it was the same last year as well"
"I mean we don't ask why you're mad once a month." James joked.
"This is why Lily won't date you." Opal said, throwing a pillow at her friend.
"Watch Bertie!" Peter winced as Opal's kitten, who was asleep in James' lap stood up stretching, he climbed up onto the window ledge.
"Bert, get down." Opal said, getting up from the bed and picking up her kitten. She gazed out of the window noticing three silhouettes walking across the dark field. One walked with a slight hunch. Remus.
"Look! There he is." she said, ushering to boys to join her at the window.
"Who's he with?" James asked, fixing his glasses.
Sirius walked up behind him, with binoculars. "It's Pomfrey and McGonagall."
"Where did you get binoculars from?" Opal asked.
"Hanging around muggleborns, Lucy Harolds and her sister in Ravenclaw."
"You do know wizards have binoculars too." Peter said, staring at Sirius' smug look, but turned back to the window. "Are they going to the willow?"
His question was answered as McGonagall transfigured into her Animagus form, walking up to it. The tree's branches stopped moving and the three walked in.
