        Harry, Cathy, and I stayed in the common room until 11:15 that night. There were still others in the common room, but we had the cloak so it wasn't a big deal. Harry threw the cloak over Cathy, himself, and I. We left the common room quickly, trying not to attract attention. We made our way out to the Whomping Willow were Dad told us to met him. There, sitting a ways away from the violent tree, was dad in his animagnus form. He barked when he saw us, (they had taken off the cloak.) running over.
        "Hello, dad." I smiled. He barked again, and that was what I took as my cue to transform. I thought hard, and I was suddenly in my husky form, Bandit.
        'Hello, princess.' Dads voice said inside my head.
'Hello dad!' I said cheerily, nudging him slightly. Cathy transformed into her Weasle form, almost invisible in the night. Harry also became his animagnus. I laughed out loud when I though of how weird we'd all look if we got caught. A Weasle, a dog, a husky, and a deer...I wonder what Snape would think. I snapped back into reality to see them all staring at me.
'What!?' I asked dad.
'You sounded weird when you laughed. It was funny but not.' I could see dad shrug in my mind. 'Anyway, we should go. It will take about 5 minutes to get to the hideout, and we only have ten.' Dad said suddenly, running off towards the tree. He grabbed a stick, prodded one of its many knots with it, and barked at us. We all followed him down a passageway, and about five minutes later emerged in an old building, where dust lined the floors, though it was clear someone had walked in here recently.
        We ran up the stairs, and through a door. Uncle Lupin stood there, pacing. He looked worried, and slightly frightened. Dad barked when we entered, making Uncle Lupin's head shoot up. "Sirius..." Moony groaned, staring at us. Dad transformed, looking apologetic,
        "I'm sorry Remus. I know you have that potion but we both know they would have come as soon as they figured out about the full moon." Dad told him. I barked in agreement, while Cathy and Harry nudged Moony. He sighed, pinching the beige of his nose.
        "Please, just be careful, okay you three? I don't want to be the reason your life's become ruined." Moony, sighed. I changed into my human form as did the others and hugged Moony.
        "We all love you Uncle Moony! We wouldn't blame you if something happened! We couldn't if we tried." I reassured him, pulling away.
        "Thank you Rose. Now transform. The moon." He said. We all transformed, and waited as Moony transformed himself. It was terrible, he looked so miserable and in pain. I wanted to comfort him but I knew it wouldn't help much.
        But soon, we were all goofing off. We explored the grounds and I got to howl with a werewolf! It was awesome!

The next morning I woke up very tired. I was still in the shrieking shack and Harry was laying with me. My head was resting on his chest and his arms were around me tightly. Dad was asleep on another bed, Moony was on a thin but comfy looking mattress, and Cathy was curled up on the end of Harry and I's bed in her Weasle form. I closed my eyes but couldn't go back to sleep no matter how much I tried. I felt Harry stir. "Morning, love." Harry whispered. I looked up from Harry's chest to see him clearly.
        "Morning." I yawned. He let go of me, letting me sit up. I pecked him on the lips, giggling slightly. Harry smiled a bit, looking around.
        "We better get back. Ron and Hermione will be worried." Harry sighed. I nodded, reaching over to poke Cathy. She lifted her head up, glaring at us. She transformed, sitting cross legged on the bed. 
        "What?" She muttered.
"We're leaving. We don't want Ron and Hermione to worry to much." Harry told her, running a hand through his already messy hair. Cathy nodded, using a spell to fix her hair and smooth her robes. I did the same, Harry straightened his robes but nothing else.
"Accio parchment and writing tools" I muttered, waving my wand. They appeared quickly, and I wrote a short note to Moony and Dad about were we went, then we left. We hurried up to the castle, walking inside.
"That was amazing! I hope we can do it again!" Cathy beamed, suddenly awake. I nodded in agreement.
"I'm just glad it wasn't on a school day...that would have been horrible." Harry chuckled, wrapping an arm around my waist. I leaned on him as we walked, listening to Cathy rant about what we were going to do next time. That is, until we bumped into Hermione and Ron.
"There you three are!" Mione sighed in relief, running towards us.
"We've got loads to tell you!" Ron exclaimed, running after her.
"We do, but you three have explaining to do! You weren't in the dorms! Do you understand how worried Ron and I have been!? We asked Dumbledore and he just said that you would return shortly but still! Where were you!?" Mione ranted, looking mad.
"Um, that's not for us to tell you two...." I muttered, hanging my head.
"Fine! But this is our only secret, right?" Mione sighed, looking hurt. I squealed, giving her a hug.
"Oh, Mione I'm so sorry! I wish I could tell you but it's not my place! I'm so so so so so sorry! Forgive us please!? This will be our only secret I swear!" I said fast.
"Of course I forgive you! I'm not the dumb! I understand that it's not your fault!" Mione reassured. I sighed in relief before releasing her.
"Alright, now what did you need to tell us?" Harry asked, wrapping an arm around my waist again.
"Oh! Follow us!" Ron said, running off. We all shared a look before running after him.
