"15 days to go" 

"15.. bloody, long, torturous days" 

"Do you think Rena will forgive us?" 

"Once we stop her from hurting herself so much, she will forever be grateful."

"I'm not agreeing to any of this."

"shush, Rena. Now come close. Give your best gal a hug"

"No, your mouth stinks, Siri." 

A loud gasp was heard through the quiet halls of the library, and a couple of other students shushed the girls. Jane covered her mouth, trying to hide her laugh as Sierra pouted at her friend. Petra snorted, only causing the girls to let out another loud giggle. 

"We're going to get in trouble," Rena whispers, covering Petra's mouth with her hand. The silence only lasted a few seconds before the group of girls became a giggling mess. 

"What do you think I'll become?" Sierra asks as she finishes her homework, much to her disgust.

"I hope you become something useless." Jane jokes. "Like a snail or something." Rena shakes her head, trying to picture a small snail moving across her face during the full moon nights. "You'll get crushed by the first hour." 

"Ha-ha, hilarious, Potter. A true jokester." Sierra mumbles. "Ew, can you imagine? Just having to slide all over..."

"Disgusting, nope, nope, you better become another bloody animal," Rena exclaims, wiping her face off with her hands. Sierra shudders at the thought of her becoming a snail, sliding across her friend's fur and getting fur under herself. She shakes her head and Rena speaks up before she can object to that idea. "Nothing with slime or even small. I will personally make it my night's mission to crush you." The girls look at each other and laugh, finally having a prefect to walk towards their tables. 

"The students have advised you once, ladies. Please make your way out of the library." Sierra frowns and sticks her book in her bag.

"It's alright, good sir. We were already done with our homework."

Parchment paper. ink. feather. drawn out alleys. Sierra kneeled in front of her work, smiling at how everything in her brain was coming all together. Her leaf in her mouth had made her tongue numb enough that she was now chewing it as if it were a piece of gum. IF in less than 2 weeks she would be able to help her best mate in her full moons, there had to be a way to get all of them safe in and out of the dormitories.. and without getting caught. 

"What are you doing?" Rena asks Sierra as she walks into their dormitory room. Sierra looks at the long parchment paper in front of her and smiles. 

"This, my dearest friend, is our map of the school." Rena raises a brow and grins. 

"You memorized the school?!" 

"Quite. Look." Sierra opens up her small notebook and shows Rena a few sketches. "The Room of Requirements is here. Dorms. Classes. We have the willow out here and now we just have to make sure nobody else can see it." 

"Enchant it just for us?" Rena suggests and looks over at the map.

"Exactly! Just us four. Jane, Petra, You and I. We can have nicknames so if this ever gets in the wrong hands, nobody will know it's ours.... except us." Sierra smiles, moving her tie from one side of her head to the other. "It's genius!" 

"Siri, when was the last time you showered?" Rena asks. 

"Uhm...When was Monday?" 

"Its Thursday, Black."
