Chapter 1: Of Journals and Drunks

January 2nd

Journal,

Do you know how much trouble and teasing you've caused me? I've already had you for a few hours and you're causing trouble. And now I need to give you a name because if I keep calling you journal it will start to get annoying. Why will it get annoying to call an inanimate object by its proper name Moony? I mean we do it for several other things. And I know what you're thinking but I only had three drops of the smartening solution, not four. So nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! I'll think of something after this entree.

It all started this morning when James, Sirius, and I were trying to recover from the hangover we acquired for celebrating my sixteenth birthday a little too enthusiastically last night. We had run out of hangover potion we had to use another remedy. You know Moony I always keep extra hangover potion. I guess that makes me smarter than you. :) We had to keep all light and loud noises away from my bedroom. And this plan was working out fine until we heard a tapping on the window (which sounded more like a pounding (very, very loud pounding)). As I went to the window to get the owl I realized that to do so I'd let light in the room and if I didn't that tapping noise would go on forever. So I threw back the curtains letting the light cascade into the room. As the sunlight infiltrated every corner of the room Sirius dove under my bed yelling "Turn off the sun! Turn off the sun!" which was pretty stupid if you ask me. It's not my fault that I was asking the impossible! I just have that much faith in your magical ability Moony! I think the dust bunnies under my bed liked Sirius because when he reemerged he had dust in his hair and all over his pajamas. shudder They were everywhere Moony!

Once the window was open, the owl flew to my desk dropping the parcel and letter on its surface and flew back out the open window. As I finished the letter James came by asking whom it was from. I told him it was a birthday present from Lily. James was a bit jealous that I was in contact with Lily when all he would usually receive was cold remarks from her. I think it upset him quite a bit. And I think that that was one of the greatest understatements of the century. I mean the size of that hole he put in your wall…you know if you're not going to tell the truth to your diary what are you going to tell the truth to? You don't lie to me right Moony? Puppy dog eyesIt was Sirius that broke the uncomfortable silence by telling me to just open the present already. As I took the brightly colored paper off the object, you (insert Journal's name here), fell out causing Sirius and James to erupt in laughter. Oh how they kept teasing me that I got a journal. "Moony what are you going to call your new diary." "Moony can I borrow your journal when you're done so I can write down some thoughts." After a while the teasing died down and we started talking about other things. That's what you think. Just wait until you see what we did…

Honestly, I never thought I'd be writing in a diary… uh, I mean Journal. Who knows? It could be interesting to look back on my thoughts from my sixth year later in life (if I decide to keep you that long). Well I should write Lily thanks for the present and I will try to write again soon. Me too!!!! You know you love me Moony.

P.S. I think I'll call you Archimedes it sounds much better than journal. Archimedes is a lame name. Lamey-lamey-lame. I say you name it Padoony, after both of us. It's a much better name if I do say so myself. Which of course I do. Oooohhhh…pie….

E/N: Hello, Fantastically amazing readers. For this story I write the Remus parts and then send it to Bee for beta and Sirius. Well nothing more to say but please review. So I can rave to Bee about how amazing I am –rolls eyes-. So push the little purple/blue button. :p Can you not figure out what color it is Em? It's too bad that you're color blind. Heehee.

B/N: Hello, lovely readers. I'm writing the Sirius parts, and beta-ing the story. Any issues with spelling, grammar, etc. can be pm-ed to me through my account (indescribablyBee) or addressed to me in a review and Em will forward them, or seeing as I'm posting it too, then you guys can just complain in a review to me. Now review and tell Em/Me (oooh palindrome) how much you loved the story so that she can rant and rave about how lovely she is to me later:) (PS: I wrote this first so that's why Em rolled her eyes at me. I'm just that fantastic. Heehee.)
