FireFox Rebound

You were still in your fox form from the night, when George had woken you up to let you know that they were heading down for breakfast and you probably could morph into someone else to go outside. Remus had come in to say hello before grabbing the boys and hopefully you as well. You had transformed back, and to your surprise someone was waiting in the corner looking straight at you. “What the fuck?” you whispered. You couldn't believe that standing in the corner of the small room was the ghost of James Potter looking hopefully back at you.The other 3 had looked back and forth between the corner and you, apparently not seeing anything. "Are you alright?" Remus asked with a look of worry written on his face. “Yeah, just…thought I saw something.” you said as James’ ghost faded and you looked down and continued to get clothes from the beyond. You found a leather jacket, a pair of jeans, and a tee shirt that you threw on and changed your appearance a bit to make you look more masculine. You shortened your hair slightly, darkened it, and made your features a little more apparent and elegant. When Remus had seen you, you saw a slight tear in his eye as he left the room. George had looked bewildered that his girlfriend now looked like she was the lead singer of a rock band. You had sunglasses on, and when Fred looked at you finally, you nodded your head once so that they fell onto your face. You felt confident and indestructible right now, and not even You Know Who could stop you.

You and the twins headed down for breakfast and as soon as Molly noticed you she nearly seemed to have a heart attack “It’s just you! Oh you gave me a scare!” she said. You already let the twins know that your fake name today was going to be Skyler, as they can't call you Cerise. You acted like you had never met anyone else, and you just made friends with the twins so it looked like you were meeting for the first time and so you could let them know of your name for the day. You three had got to go out into London and being the impulsive individual you are, you decided to get a nose ring and thankfully they had options other than silver. You knew Remus would probably be mad, so you had gotten a fake nose ring as well so when Remus saw it, he wouldn't be as mad as you would just take out the fake one with the real one just hidden. You three had roamed along the streets with a Chinese takeout menu when one of the nearby shops started playing Werewolves of London, and you three just couldn't help but burst out with laughter. You three went back to the leaky cauldron singing the song and when you finished it, you just sang it again. You got back to a Remus laying face down on his bed, and immediately went to him questioning him with “Are you alright? Did anything happen while we were gone? Have you heard anything?” to which he turned over and curled into a ball while saying that Sirius had been seen recently close in the area. You knew exactly what he felt, and you just hugged him. He had either been doing an amazing job at not having a full mental breakdown at the mention of Sirius, or had done an amazing job at keeping it in until a later date. Either way, you knew he didn't cry or even shed a tear for the first time talking about Sirius.

The next day you stayed with Remus nonstop. The twins had followed suit, and you four had come up with some great pranks for that year. Of course, just as you expected Remus had asked about your new piercing and seemed to believe you that you only had the fake one. You went to the bathroom and almost lost it when you saw Marlene Mckinnon looking at you in the mirror at you. What was going on? Wasn’t the house in the forest the only place you could see ghosts? You promptly turned on your heel and exited the bathroom then plopped down on your bed. You took your necklace from inside your shirt and found it to be brighter and swirlier than you normally find it- so much in fact it seemed to glow.  You took the book out of the beyond and it opened on the bed to the exact page you needed. The one about sudden changes both physically and mentally. You started reading with some worried glances here and there, but all in all you found your answer. The book stated that small changes like becoming pregnant and being sick after being initially exposed to the magic you possess can tamper with it, as well as getting older. You knew you couldn't be pregnant as you have not done the dirty with anyone and had your reproductive organs taken out after you had Castor, and you have been feeling slightly off compared to usual, so you thought you were just coming down with something. You brought this to attention when Molly came in and asked you all if you needed anything. You told them all about what you knew and later Molly came back with not only some food for the boys, but a pregnancy test. “Remus told me that although your mother used numerous types of protection, you came into the world. It would be best if you do it even for a negative.” Molly told you when she handed it to you in private. “I’m not active, but I’ll do it for peace of mind I guess.” you had replied and Molly had let you know that you didn't have to take it, and you could just have it just in case. You took it anyway. “Peace of mind. Right?” you told yourself as you were pacing the room with 3 worried faces trailing your every move. “Alright, that should be enough time-” Remus started but before he could finish his sentence you ran into the bathroom. “What does it say?” George said while following you in. You replied “It’s negative!”
