I followed Sirius and Peter as they walked out of the castle and to the courtyard. They walked towards the Whomping Willow or the giant tree that thrashes around and likes to hurt people...
Someone was waiting for them there. I followed them, careful not to make a sound or go too close. They walked up to the person and my eyes widened.
"Hey Moony!" Sirius said rather loudly. It was Remus. He sat in front of the Whomping Willow, looking exhausted and pale... Again.
"Be quiet!" Remus hissed and stood up. "Where's James?"
"Detention. Shall we go?" Peter asked. Remus and Sirius nodded. Then suddenly, Peter disappeared and the giant tree froze. Soon, Sirius and Remus walked to the Whomping Willow and disappeared as well.
They said Remus had to leave... but now he's here. They just disappeared into the Willow... what the bloody hell are those three up to?
I walked cautiously to the Willow. I'll just stand here and wait for them. The tree started thrashing around and I stepped back. Maybe I could wait somewhere else... I looked at the full moon, which shone brightly in the night sky.
I turned around to walk away when a loud howl filled the air. My eyes widened and I looked around. I looked back at the Whomping Willow. Suddenly a creature jumped from inside it. The werewolf looked at me with it's dark grey eyes, which had a hint of sadness. My eyes widened and I was about to scream but someone's hand had covered my mouth, making the scream muffled. They grabbed my arm and forced it behind my back.
"Merlin's beard Fall!!" I heard the voice of James Potter from behind me. "You're going to scare it!!" He removed his hand from my mouth.
"I'm going to scare it?!" I demanded. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?! That's a werewolf!!" The werewolf growled and moved towards us. James walked back, pulling me with him.
"Moony... remember who you are... you're not a mon-"
"You're talking to it!? Why are you-"
"I'm trying to save your life!!"
"I can look after myself Potter-" The werewolf growled and lunged at us. I screamed and James pushed me to the ground. "Get off me!" I yelled and pushed him off me. I stood up and grabbed my wand, before pointing it at the werewolf. James's eyes widened.
"No! Don't kill it!!" He shouted while trying to grab my wand and still looking at the werewolf.
"It's trying to kill us!!"
A black dog and rat jumped from the Whomping Willow. I recognised the black dog as the stray from Hogsmede, the one that was playing with Marlene. The dog saw my wand and snarled at me, before attacking me to the ground. I screamed and tried to get the dog off me. It snapped at my arm, I moved my wand out of the way. The dog bared its teeth and started scratching my arm. I screamed, seeing small lines of blood on my wrist. James grabbed the dog's collar and pulled it off me, making me drop my wand which fell down the hill.
"Sirius!! She doesn't know!!" James yelled at the dog. My eyes widened and I gasped.
"That's Sirius?!?!" James nodded and placed the dog down. Now it makes sense why he dragged the stray away when he was playing with Lily... The stray looked at me innocently. "Don't look innocent!!!" I shouted and looked at my wrist.
The rat ran to the dog... or Sirius and jumped on its back. Sirius started running around the werewolf. I blinked rapidly.
"Oi! Stop mucking around!" James said. "We have to get-" The werewolf turned around furiously to him. It ran towards him quickly.
