Chapter 1
Finally, it was near graduation for all the seventh year students of Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, the infamous Head Boy, James Potter was no where near ecstatic in celebrating his last few months in Hogwarts. In fact, he was angry.
And he was making no attempt of concealing his anger. James had been lashing out his anger to everyone surround him. The said black-haired teenager was currently teaching the students near the lake. And the fact that the students were first and second year –who were very prone to mistake- did not help James anger at all.
Growling, James snapped at the students in front of him which none managed to change a grass to a fish. "Didn't any of you read what we have been doing last week?"
"HOW do YOU think you can accomplish doing this spell if you are making absolutely no effort whatsoever?" James hazel eyes slightly darkened before he yelled "WHAT ARE YOU seven years old?"
But before he could continue, someone had placed his hand on James shoulder. He looked at the owner of the hand. Remus Lupin.
Almost instantly, his anger subsided a little. Remus gave him a small smile before tilting his head to the right, pointing to Sirius who was waiting for them. James sighed, waved his hand and said "Class dismissed,"
Within seconds, all the students fled.
Like an obedient child, James followed Remus as he led him towards the tree further to his right. Sirius was leaning against the tree while Remus comforted himself in sitting under the tree. James took the liberty of resting on the grass.
"Alright there?" Sirius asked James after awhile. Through his blue eyes, Remus looked at James who was staring into space.
"Yeah," was his heavy reply.
Sirius gave James a look before he too settled down on the glass. He realized that James was already asleep.
Remus, saw Sirius who was also closed to doze off, closed his own eyes and started to whisper:
Home is behind,
The world ahead,
There are many paths to tread,
Through shadow to the edge of night,
And all the stars are all alight,
Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade,
All shall fade, All shall… fade,
Remus his head near the tree before he too fall asleep.
Soft wind blew the Hogwarts ground, sending a comforting sound of shuffling leaves.
