Even though he had not stepped outside yet, James knew the conditions on that June day were going to be perfect for Quidditch. The sun was streaming through the cracks in the shades and the sky was a deep blue. He also knew that today was his, and the rest of the fifth years', Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. Even thought he was tired from staying up later than usual, having to study with Remus, Sirius and Peter, he sat up and got out of bed rather than try to catch a few more minutes of sleep. James was tall and skinny, almost straggly-looking, with messy jet-black hair and hazel eyes. He was the seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He went to the bathroom, washed his face, brushed his teeth and got dressed, then went to go wake his friends.
"Hey, Padfoot, wake up," James said as he threw a pillow at Sirius' face and opened the shades to let the sun stream inside the dormitory.
"What time is it?" Sirius asked groggily, opening one eye first and then the other, looking over at James to give an evil look for waking him up. "If it's before seven I'm going to kill you."
"It's 7:01," said James.
"You got off lucky," Sirius said, throwing the pillow back at James. James stepped aside at the last moment and instead it landed behind James, onto the bed behind him, Peter's. The pillow hit his head with a thud.
"Hey, why'd you do that?" asked Peter. "I was trying to sleep."
"It was Padfoot's fault," said James before Sirius could get a word out.
"It was not. It was all Prongs' fault!" yelled Sirius as he got out of bed. He was taller than James with long black hair and brown eyes. Peter followed suit. He was shorter than both James and Sirius with mousy brown hair and blue watery eyes.
James looked towards Remus' bed and noticed that it was empty. "Hey, where's Moony?" asked James.
"Maybe he's in the common room," said Sirius. "He's probably trying to get in some studying before the test." Sure enough, when the three boys all got dressed and went down to the common room, there sat Remus with a large book in his lap, sitting cross- legged in a chair in front of the fire.
"I think you know everything, Moony! You probably know more than Professor Goldette," said Sirius, looking at Remus with awe. Both Sirius and James laughed loudly, and Remus even gave a small chuckle, but it took Peter a few seconds before he started laughing, a little too loudly, so that James thought he had not understood the joke.
James and Sirius took the book from Remus' lap and shut it. Then they each took one of his arms and lead him from the room.
"You look like a convicted criminal from muggle magazine ads," James said to Remus. "And we probably look like polise-men." Remus and Siruis laughed.
"You mean policemen," Remus added.
"Wow, Remus, I never knew you were the Muggle Studies teacher and the DADA teacher, too!" exclaimed Sirius. All four boys started laughing and had a hard time staying in the same formation all the way to the Great Hall.
