Howl of The Moon (A Remus Lupin Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

Third-Person POV:

"Nut! I need you. Come to the Marauders' dorm." Jasmine hissed through the crack of the door. Hazel nodded and slipped through, throwing Lily an excuse on the way.

"You didn't snog him yet, did you?" She asked, referring to Remus. "Gosh, NO!" Jasmine gaped at her friend, eyes widened. Hazel snickered, "Then what?" She asked.

"I believe we have just found a partner in crime." Jasmine said slowly as she turned the handle of the dorm, revealing Remus who was sitting on the edge of his bed nibbling on a peice of chocolate.

"Hello, Remus." Hazel said, flopping down on Sirius' bed. "Hazel." Remus nodded, swiping for another piece of chocolate from he basket. "Là, monsieur." (Here you go, sir.) Jasmine handed him a slab of chocolate. "Merci." (Thank you.) Remus smiled. Jasmine blinked, "Do you and Sirius both take French courses or something?" Hazel demanded. Remus chuckled as he replied, "no". Hazel sighed and shook her head.

"Back to topic. Our plan to prank the other three Marauders." Jasmine said after helping herself to more chocolate.

Remus raised an eyebrow. "Have you been planning?" He questioned. "Yea. Whenever we can't sleep. Lily helped sometimes." Hazel replied, still laying down on Black's bed. "Oh. So you guys get to plan pranks when you can't sleep and I'm forced to stay here, staring at the ceiling." Remus said sarcastically. Jasmine nodded and turned to her friend, frowning. "Nut, sit up. Anyone would think you're having a love affair with Sirius' bed." She said.

Hazel sat up at that and elbowed Jasmine hard in the ribs. "Ow!" She squeaked. Hazel smirked. "So, the plan?" Remus asked, feeling a bit left out and awkward. Both girls looked smug as Jasmine said, "It's called Color Frenzy." Remus nodded and gestured for her to go on. "Baisically, we'll dye their hair rainbow when they're sleeping and jinx their clothes to pink. And write our initials on their foreheads." Hazel chirped.

"Really? That'd be funny. Whe-" Remus was cut off by the door opening with a bang. Jasmine accidentally shifted into her animagus form as a kite. Lily came in with James, Sirius and Peter trailing behind. "I can't believe him! That absolute twat! And to think we were friends for 8 years! How dare he!" Lily raged. Hazel leapt up from Sirius' bed and darted to Remus'.

"Lils, what happened?" Jasmine asked worriedly. "Don't tell me it's Sever-" Hazel started. "DON'T SPEAK OF HIS NAME!" Lily shouted.

James looked at Lily, concerned. "Lily, honestly. What did he do?" He asked. When Remus, Hazel and Jasmine looked confused, Sirius stepped in. "Lily was standing face to face with Snivellous and he had a red hand mark on his cheek. Minnie was giving her a detention." He informed.

The room's sudden silence of shock was broken when Remus asked, "The prefect, Lily Evans, got a detention?" "At least he got a week's!" Lily stormed. "You got a week too. Peter pointed out. Lily looked outraged but kept silent. "What happened, Lily-Flower?" James tried again.

"He called me a m-mu- that. He called me that." Lily said finally, giving in. There were a few gasps. "Oh no, he didn't." James snarled and a protective growl rumbled softly in Jasmine's throat. "Well, that proves. Fils de pute." (Son of a b****.) Sirius commented. Hazel and Jasmine gave Sirius and Remus accusing glares. "And you claim that you don't take French classes!" They chorused.

Both boys pretended to look hurt. "I thought you trusted us. We didn't!" Remus told both girls. Jasmine shrugged but stepped closer to Remus.

So she could let James hug Lily.

Lily cried her heart out. James led her to his bed so they could sit down. "Mr Pettigrew. You asked for me?" A voice squeaked. All heads swerved to the house elf. Peter nodded and asked Winnie (the house elf) for some cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs.

Remus and Jasmine sat down on Remus' bed and continued eating chocolate bars. Jasmine took a chocolate frog from Peter and cracked it open. "Yes! Finally! Godric Gryffindor!" She smiled, holding up the card. Hazel rolled her eyes, otherwise continued chatting with Sirius. Peter continued eating.

"Oi, Hazel! When you're done chatting with your boyfriend, you can come over here to talk about uhh... certain things?" Jasmine asked her friend. Hazel twirled her wand and shot a jinx at Jasmine. Jasmine lazily flicked her wand and blocked the spell. Hazel stood up. "Non-verbally? Really?" She asked. Jasmine smirked, "Yea. C'mon! I wanna finish pla- talking about it!"

Hazel shrugged. "Fine." Remus herded the girls over to a corner. "As we were saying before we were interrupted, when are we pranking them?" Remus asked when they huddled together. Hazel and Jasmine looked at each other for a brief moment before saying-

"Tonight."
