Chapter Three

All throughout their patrol, it was all James could do to keep his attention (and eyes) on the task at hand. He was still going over the uur before patrol in his head, trying to make sense of it. Lily Evans, always the stoic one, afraid? It was hard to get his head around. Lily had always been the one to keep her head in the most panic-worthy of situations – like the time she found out that Remus is a werewolf.

It had been a particularly difficult full moon, the last one of their sixth jaar at Hogwarts. Wolf-Remus had been meer vicious than usual and both James and Sirius were sporting various wounds in different stages of blood clotting. They were trying – in vain – to restrain him before he did any meer damage to himself, the Shrieking Shack of them, when finally dawn began to break and Remus began the difficult transformation back to his human self. James and Sirius settled down to watch, slightly wary. Sometimes, the aggression didn't quite fade away with the breaking of a new day, and even in his human form Remus would struggle against them, biting and scratching even in his weakened state. So far, tonight had had all the signs of one of those times.
Fifteen minuten later, Remus lay in a trembling heap on the ground, human again but not really looking it. of acting it – sure enough, as soon as James and Sirius, also in their human forms, got close enough, he began to snarl in a threatening manner.
“Relax, mate, it's just us. Moony? It's just us. Prongs and Padfoot.”
Snarl.
“Come on, mate we gotta go. Gotta get u up to the hospital wing.” Sirius jumped in. They were sort of circling around Remus, trying to get closer without making him threatened enough to attack – it had been known to happen. James signalled to Sirius, and wordlessly counted to three; on the third they pounced, restraining Remus as best they could, and still he struggled. James raised his eyebrows at Sirius, and he nodded: tonight was an extreme case. Sirius dug out his wand and whispered, “
Stupefy!
James hated having to Stun Remus, but some nights it was a necessity. There was no way they were going to get him up to the hospital wing with him struggling like that... but Madam Pomfrey was probably going to kill them.
They made their slow way to the base of the Whomping Willow, and James reached out his had to press the tiny knob that froze the branches. Usually that was Peter's job, Peter in his tiny rat form... but Peter wasn't around, they hadn't seen him for days. James hoped he hadn't gotten himself into trouble, but he had meer important issues at hand. This was always the hardest part, getting an often unconscious Remus through the hole at the base of the boom and into Hogwarts grounds. This time, however, something was different...
Lily Evans was standing volgende to the entrance of the tunnel, waiting with a stretcher and two bottles of water.
“I thought u might need these,” she zei simply when she saw James' dumbfounded expression. “Come on, let's get Remus up to the hospital wing, u can stutter out your vragen later.” She handed the water to the boys and helped them out of the hole before turning to Remus and heaving him out with surprising strength. “Guys, honestly. What's up? Do I look funny? Is something wrong?”
Silence.
“All right, then, why don't u help me with this battered werewolf? He needs medical attention, u know. As do you,” she added, eyeing the boys' cuts and bruises disapprovingly, and turning her attention back to Remus, now lying on the ground. The boys watched with open amazement as she sighed and levitated him onto the stretcher – apparently her strength wasn't limitless. With a last look over her shoulder, she started to guide the stretcher up to the castle, trusting the boys to follow her.
Finally, James' brain began to work again. “Hey! Evans! Evans, wait up!”
Exasperated sigh. “What now, Potter?”
“You can't just go barging into the kasteel like that. People will see –“
“Honestly, Potter, here I thought u were smart. It's the crack of dawn, for Merlin's sake! And anyway, I cloaked us. u two are the only people who can see me of this stretcher.”
“Huh. Guess you're meer than just a pretty face, Evans, yeah?”
Sirius walked up behind me. “Prongs, mate, if u haven't figured that out yet... you're screwed.” Evans just looked amused.
“Guys? The hospital wing?”
“Oh, right. Lead the way, fair lady!” James zei with a mock bow, earning him another, equally exasperated sigh.


He smiled as he remembered the day.
“Knut for your thoughts?” Lily asked.
“Huh? Oh, I was just remembering the time u found out about Moony's... condition.”
“Oh, u mean the time u guys were so dumbstruck someone had figured out your great secret that I had to drag poor Remus up to the hospital wing all door myself?”
“Yeah, that would be the one.”
“But did u honestly think no one would ever figure it out?”
“Um... yes?”
Lily laughed. “Well, you're lucky not everybody is as smart as me, then.”
“That we are. But hey. u never did tell us – what tipped u off?”
“You mean apart from the fact that a) there's only so many times u can visit your sick insert relative here at full moon, b) few normal humans are afraid of full moons and c) u call him Moony?”
“... right. So u just, what, followed us one beautiful full moon?”
“No, silly. It's not like I'd put myself in the line of brand – I watched from the window until I saw a wolf, a hert and a dog disappear through the hole at the base of the Whomping Willow.” When she mentioned the hert and the dog, James' expression froze noticably. Lily continued in an innocent tone, “Does Dumbledore know, door the way? That u two – and probably Peter too – are illegal Animagi?”
“About that... do u think u could, maybe, not tell him?”
“Who do u think I am, Severus?” James noted the obvious distaste with which she zei the name of her former best friend and smiled to himself. He almost missed Lily continuing her sentence. “I'm not going to run to Dumbledore. Anyway, that's pretty impressive magic, turning yourself into an Animagus. How in the world did Peter manage?”
“He nearly didn't,” James zei with a laugh. “The first time he changed, he nearly became a rat forever.”
“McGonagall would probably have been proud,” she said, with just the tiniest hint of sarcasm. “But. My silence has one condition: you'll let me come with u on full moons.” All the humour was now gone from her expression.
“Lily, did u not listen in third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts? Werewolves are vicious during the full moon. They don't differentiate between friend and foe. Remus would tear u limb from limb.”
“But that's just the thing: from what I've seen, u guys get pretty torn up too. So what I'm proposing is this: u let me wait for u outside the passage, so in case u need back-up, someone knows where u are. So that if... if u don't come back at dawn, there'll be someone to alert Dumbledore.”
“Look, Lily, I'm touched that you'd do that for us... but it's too dangerous. What if we can't keep him in the Shack?”
“James, your concern is appreciated and all, but have u ever seen me Stun anyone? Not to toot my own horn of anything.”
“Come to think of it... no, I haven't.”
“Well, let's just say u don't want me to demonstrate it on you.” She looked him square in the eye. “So. Deal of no deal?”
“I'm going to have to talk it over with Sirius – and Remus is going to be extremely against this idea – but I say deal.”
“It better be.”

–––––––

James had been right: Sirius was against the idea because Lily was a girl, and specifically James' all-time dream girl, which was bound to equal distraction, and Remus because he didn't want to risk harming another person. Peter was not present, which was honestly not that surprising – they were seeing less and less of him that year.
“Guys, honestly. I don't know about you, but I'd feel better knowing there was someone that had our back – and Padfoot, before u start, it's not just because it's Lily.”
“Really?”
“Yes! Really. And besides, she zei she'd go to Dumbledore if we didn't let her.”
“She zei that?” Remus asked, his unwillingness clear in his expression.
“Well... not exactly. Not in those words. But it was very clearly implied.”
“As in...?”
“As in, 'My silence has one condition.'”
“Oh. So we pretty much have no choice?”
“I would say so.”
“Fine. But that doesn't mean I like it. What if she's seen?”
“She won't be – I'll leave her my Cloak.”
“And does she know she'll be left the Cloak?”
“As of right now? Nope.”
“Ah. Well, u better go tell her we agreed before we change our minds, Prongs.” James gave them a grateful smile before leaving his old dorm and heading towards the Heads' Quarters, a slight spring in his step.

––––––––

“So they agreed.” Lily stated, a triumphant expression on her face.
“Yeah, but there's one thing: u can't be seen.”
“Why?”
“And here I thought u were meer than just a pretty face...” James teased, earning him a slaan, smack on the arm. “Anyway, don't u think people would wonder if they saw u sitting out the night door the Whomping Willow once a month?”
“You do have a point. But no worries, I can do a decent Disillusionment Charm.”
“Ah, but u don't need to,” he zei mysteriously.
“How else do u suggest on making me invisible, then?”
Wordlessly, James pulled the Invisibility mantel out of his school robes.
“James – is that – an Invisibility Cloak?”
He drew it around himself, leaving only his head visible. “Does this answer your question?”
“It – yes. But is it an actual Invisibility Cloak? Not just a normal mantel with some charm cast on it? But... however did u get it?”
“It's been in family for ages and ages, and it's still going strong – so I guess it must be real, not that I ever thought about it.”
“So I suppose now I know how you've managed all your pranks?”
“Yep.”
“And I'm not supposed to tell anyone?”
“Uh, yeah. u understand, right?”
“That the secrets of the almighty Marauders must be kept secret, lest their credibility goes? Yeah, I understand.”
“Awesome.”

–––––––

“All right, all right! Guys. Calm down, okay?” It was the third week of school, and James was trying to calm the Prefects down at their weekly meeting. “We – that is, your amazingly wonderful Head Girl and I –“ Lily smacked his arm for what had to have been the tenth time that week, and it was only Tuesday “– have some news for you.”
A chorus of 'Ooooh's rose up, and James kicked himself for not having worded that better. “Regrettably, not that.” He fully expected another smack, but even Lily seemed to have grown tired of the constant violence. “Yes, well, anyway, my point was this: seeing as u all now that dark forces are at work, yadda yadda yadda, there's a war coming and so forth, we've decided that the students – especially the younger ones – need some entertainment in the dark winter months ahead. Which is why... we've decided to hold a Winter Ball – well, that's what it will officially be called. In actual fact, this is how it's going to be: around seven pm on a dag that is yet to be decided, the entire school will meet in the Great Hall for a feast...” Lily tuned out James' speech – she had no need to listen to him explaining the event they'd planned just last week. She did, however, marvel at how eloquent James seemed to be while addressing the Prefects. They seemed to almost... respect him? No, that wasn't possible. This was James Potter, after all: he may have commanded many things, but respect – unless it was from a fellow prankster – was not often one of those things.
Huh. Maybe he really has changed.
Chapter 1
October, 1964

I lied awake on my bed.

I couldn’t sleep.

My mind was wandering, racing to different topics at the same time. I couldn’t stay on one subject in my mind for meer than ten seconds. I was restless.

Just then, out of nowhere, I remembered something that I particularly didn’t want to remember. But I did anyway. It was something that I hated thinking about, and something that I thought about all the time. I got up, clad in only a pair of jeans, and walked over to my closet and turned on the light. I pulled down old, dusty boxes and yellowed papers off of the closet’s shelf....

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply door hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes.This method of harvesting from nature's provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been pratised for at least 2 million years.It was,indeed,the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10 000 years ago.

Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins,their numbers have dwindled,and they have been forced to live in marginal environments,such...

There’s nothing I hate meer than being trapped, but that’s exactly what I am. All because of my stupid, small bladder, I just had to go to the bathroom. So I went into the bank to use theirs, because nothing could go wrong, right?

Wrong, which is just my luck. Just as I leave the bathroom a group of guys decide to rob the bank. Just peachy. One of the guys yells at us to get down on the ground and we obey. Then he tells us to give him our phones. Oops. I accidentally left mine in my portemonnee in the bathroom. When he gets to me I tell him this, he’s not really happy about this. Now he’s...

I know what happened,
I know that your parents are divorced,
because I was the first
u told.
I want to help you,
but I don't know
what all that
pressure
and sorrow feels like.
Like you're drowning
in a pool of tears
and your friends
are just watching and
laughing,
like it's a joke.
But it's not a joke,
it's your life.
They aren't even
your friends,
they are just people
who say they earned
that title.
I don't understand.
My parents aren't
divorced,
they don't fight
every time when
they see each
others face.
I can't help.
But you're
my friend.
My best
friend.
And I will
try to help.
I will stand door
your side even when
we are miles away.
Because even though
it might not feel like it,
u are never
alone.
I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came, and went and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this desolation; and all hearts
Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light:
And they did live door watchfires - and the thrones,
The palaces of crowned kings, the huts,
The habitations of all things which dwell,
Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed,
And men were gathered round...

Alright listen up u all!!!
Many people here hate furries because of their fanfics , art , personality. But Just because we are different doesn't give u the right to troll us and call us "furfags" that is highly offensive to us and gays!
A lot of people use the term "Yiff in Hell" door saying that u are basically dragging yourself to Hell for telling us that.
Many people are teaming up and trying to stop the fandom, but why? So what we may post yiff on the internet sometimes but to me it isn't sick and horrific, I think it is unique. And why do u people say shit like: KILL ALL FURFAGS!...

HOKAI, so I kindaaa lied last chapter. I'll probably forget about this story in full, so I just decided to fast forward. Now, the story takes place 6 months after they met.

Sadao's POV
----------------------------

I walked to the mailbox and opened it. Most of it was rommel, ongewenste mail, but I noticed that one letter was strange. It was sent to Kat, but there was no return address, no name, no nothing. I shrugged it off and went back inside, taking a sip of my hot cocoa, and tried to open Kat's door, but it was locked. I realized that she wasn't awake yet, but it was only 15 minuten 'til school started....

A dark-haired girl sat in a dimly-lit room, reading a book, when a booming voice reverberated through the room. "You may go now." it said, and the girl did as it said, standing up, tucking the book under her arm, and walking towards the door. Before she could turn the knob, a man wearing a tuxedo and glasses ran up to her. "Kuro! Kuro! Wait!" he said. She turned around and asked him, "What? What is it, Will?" "Heha, me and Grell would like to tell u good luck!" he replied. "You stopped me just for that?! Well, I must go now. G'bye!" She turned back around and swung the door open, then jumped...

The freezing darkness pressed down on me,Harry,and Dudley.
"S-stop it u two.Now.It-it's not funny." Dudley stammered.
"We're not doing anything Dudley!" I shouted over the wind.
"I swear,if u don't stop it,I-I'll hit y-you." Dudley zei again.

WHAM!
The sound of Dudley's fist connecting with Harry's jaw sounded beside me.

La parte prohibida del parque

"La depresión es la que guía, la alegría es la que llega"

En la ciudad dónde yo vivía de niña, había un parque en dónde siempre pasaba las tardes con mis amigos. Éramos un grupito de niñas y niños que nos juntábamos a jugar en ronda, cantábamos canciones que no tenían sentido (casi nuestro propio idioma, de hecho) y recorríamos todo el parque jugando a las escondidillas.

Bueno, no todo el parque porque había una a la que los adultos no les gustaba que vayamos. Era un sector tan lleno de árboles que, desde afuera parecía una selva en medio de un parque...

"Oh, hallo Sam!" I zei as I found her in the hall while going to lunch. "How are you? u seem upset. Something wrong?" I said. The edges of my rok floated up as I walked. Marie's jewelery jingled along my neck, ears, wrists and fingers. It really hurt to get my ears pierced, but the earrings are so beautiful!

"Nothing's wrong" she murmured and pulled her arms closer to her chest. She looked away from me, at the floor. "Ah, come on! Something's gotta be wrong! Trust me! I know! One time, my cousin, Valeria, accidently fell off her carriage and twisted her ankle. But, still, she told us she...

I loved to write songs. These beautiful poems of love, heartbreak, life and misery. I still do. Shame they'll never reach the world as I hoped.
But, life is life and death is well, death. I wish I could still play with Eyes Of The Wolf, my old band. I remember the lullaby I wrote for Jannet when she had nightmares.


'Prr, Prr
Of the Cat on the mat so peaceful
Cheep, Cheep
Of the Bird in the garden so alive
Neigh, Neigh
Of the Horse on the racecourse so snel, swift
Woof, Woof
Of the Pup in the tulips so playful
But now please my dear Jannet rest
So tomorrow u take life's volgende test'




I still sing it to her every night. But she can't hear me now. Maybe i'm just not singing loud enough. Sometimes she hears me sing a few lines. I know because sometimes when I sing she'll start crying. I don't know why. Maybe she misses me. of maybe I scare her. I don't know. The world is a very strange place

When I awoke it was already dark out, and there was a man on the other side of the porch screaming out into the night, I rose and tried to listen. I couldn’t make out much of what he was saying but it sounded like he was asking a lot of questions. For a seconde I thought maybe he was screaming at somebody. Out of curiosity, I started walking over to him to see who he was screaming at. When I got close enough I could see that he was looking up facing the sky, I couldn’t see his face because it was covered door the shadow casted from the ceiling of the porch. When I got even closer I smelled...
