I stumbled through the hallways, my hand covering my eyes from the bright lights. I entered the common room that was mostly empty except for the few students who had passed out on the floor or couches. I quickly walked towards my dorm room but was stooped when a familiar long-haired ginger stepped in front of me, I growled, 

"Allester" 

"where were you?"

"what's it to you," I spat, he might've been a foot taller than me but I would still beat him up if I had to, 

"I was worried," he said laced with real concern, I scoffed.

"Why? I'm not important to you, and I'm a big girl I can handle myself" I gave him that fake smile again and ducked under his arm and walked up the stairs, my feet aching in my heels. he groaned and didn't bother to follow me. I entered my room and kept the lights off, stumbling over to my cabinet, I grabbed a vial full of the green hangover potion, here we go again. I downed it and hissed,

"bloody motherfucker" I sat on the bed trying to stop my dizzying headache. I placed my head in my hands and let out a long groan. why me. 

~~~~~~time skip to that night~~~~~~

Tonight was the first full moon since we became animagus, I was nervous, we had a plan, sneak through the whomping willow passage that's where peter would come in but I was still scared, not for myself but for Remus and James mostly. he was the kind of guy who would sacrifice himself for any and all of his friends and I didn't want to lose him. not after I just got him back. this was all going on in my head as I ran outside, into the dark night air. I met James, peter and Sirius by the old oak tree like we had agreed. 

"hi," I groaned, even though I had taken my tonic I still had a massive headache pounding against my skull. 

"regret it yet?" James smirked and pushed up his glasses,

"no." I glared at him, 

"We need to go, remember just Remus turning into a werewolf y'know?" I pulled out the map and placed the tip of my wand against it, 

"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good" I smirked, I always did every time I said that. the message popped up on the parchment.

𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒚, 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔, 𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕, 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒓'𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒑

In case you couldn't tell, I was Night, Sirius, Padfoot; moony, Remus; worms, peter and James was Prongs.

 the map shifted and started to show the image of Hogwarts that and all the people around it, it was amazing, I was still shocked every time as to how we were able to do it. I looked up and nodded, James took the map from me and peter and I transformed into our animagus forms since we were the smallest. I spread my black feathered wings, stretching out as James threw the invisibility cloak over himself and Sirius.

 I crouched down and took off, spreading my wings and letting the wind pick me up as I rapidly flapped, I eventually rose high enough and the wind guided me on its own. I stretched out and closed my eyes, every couple minutes flapping my wings. this was amazing, being on a broom was one thing, but actually getting to be a bird and fly, now that was a whole other experience. I opened my eyes and began to circle around my landing spot, slowly descending to the ground. I pushed my heels forwards and easily landed on the ground, barely making a sound. I easily spotted peter and hopped my way over to him. he was making his way up the tree, easily avoiding the thrashing branches. his small stature impossible to grab. 

the tree froze, paralyzed in place, at its base there was a now visible hole, big enough for one person. I hopped forward as James removed the cloak from himself and Sirius. Sirius darted in first, quickly followed by James. I transformed back and dove in. it was a fairly large tunnel once inside, big enough for me to stand in. I ran through quickly, avoiding stumps, roots and rocks as I ran. 

about five minutes later I emerged in the shrieking shack. A large stag stood in the right corner, a black shaggy dog next to him. Remus stood breathing heavily in the center of the room, I quickly transformed into the raven again. I watched in horror as the friendly boy I once knew as Remus Lupin transformed into a snarling, ravenous beast. He swerved to face us, I took a sharp inhale and waited. he edged forwards, his large teeth and crushing jaw inches from me, capable of swallowing me whole. he sniffed me, and backed up, I let go of the breath I was holding, I was okay!

he moved onto the rest of the boys doing the same to them. he backed up and started to walk in circles around the room, finally placing himself in the middle of the floor. curling up around himself. Sirius was the first to edge forwards, sitting next to him and falling asleep, I awwed at them, they were so obliviously cute. 

so that's how we spent our night, all five of us curled up together in the rickety old building, inches from a werewolf's jaws, escaping mere seconds before getting caught. As I was caking on concealer to my bruise covered eyes, I thought, 

maybe things are finally starting to get better.
