number one: what bite?

Remus was facing Grayback. His young face was frozen over with fear and nothing but that fear was showing through it. Grayback's mouth was open wide and his teeth were showing through. Remus was backing up at a rapid speed with Grayback going just the tiniest bit slower. "Get a...awa...away from me!" he yelled at the werewolf in what just had to be the weakest voice there ever was.

"Who do you think you are talking to, little boy?" the werewolf replied. "Louder! Stronger! Mean it! Prove me wrong, weakling!" He advanced towards his pray. His eyes were lit up with the thought of a new meat joining his pack. Someone so young would be nothing but the best to train to be the perfect slave.

"Leave me alone!" Remus yelled in a stronger, louder voice that sounded more of a man's than of a child's. "Leave me alone!" he yelled even louder.

The werewolf gave a smile so devious that it could have scared any person no matter how old out of their skin. Remus jumped backwards. The werewolf winked and ran the opposite way. Remus escaped the bite of a werewolf...for now.

number two: what james?

James Potter was known to be a bit...over the top. He could be extreme in his strange ways of treatment to the other students. It was this particular day that James was walking by him in the hall with his wand sticking out of his shirt. It was still early in the school year of their first year. Neither knew the other well but they already had formed a slight rivalry on the first day when Remus had hit on Lily Evans and Remus had made fun of him for it.

Remus didn't see anything wrong in the way, not that he was paying much attention. He was nearly late for charms and who knew what would happen if he would be late for that class! His not paying attention cost him a lot of embarrisment. James waved his wand and muttered a quick spell that his father had taught him before he went off to Hogwarts. The next step that Remus took he tripped over his shoes that had become tied as if by magic.

"Hey!" he exclaimed, looking around to see who did it. "James Potter," he muttered under his breath. Remus withdrew his wand and aimed it at James before he remembered that he didn't know any spells that would work against anyone yet. He turned around and ran off to charms with thoughts of revenge on his mind.

number three: what dance?

Remus bent forwards and held out his hand to the girl in front of him. Revenge reached, James Potter, he thought bitterly in his head. Lily Evans looked over her shoulder at the boy behind her. With a smug grin, she took Remus's hand and let him lead her out to the dance floor.

"Why are you doing this?" Lily asked cautiously in a low whisper as she allowed herself to be twirled in the typical wizarding fashion of the dance – in the air with the small help of a charm.

The first year boy looked at the girl in his arms in a panic. What did she know?

Another twirl came with silence from Remus. "Not that I mind," Lily continued. "Potter over there looks devastated. I was glad for the excuse of a reason not to go to the annual Valentine's Dance with him." She bent her head down so that she was looking at her feet instead of at the boy in front of her.

Remus let out a small laugh. "Glad to be of service," he told her, grinning. "I was trying to get back at Potter for tripping me on our first day of Hogwarts." A light blush came over his cheeks. "I mean –" he coughed.

Lily leaned forwards and put her lips to his ear. "So we're using each other. Might as well give Potter a show," she whispered. Before Remus could even ask what that was supposed to mean, the two first year students exchanged a glance and he knew what it was about. He grinned slightly and Lily turned her head so that her left cheek was facing him. He leaned forwards and kissed it lightly.

number four: what kiss?

Now he was paying for it and he knew that, he did, but he hated it.

"You kissed her. I can't believe that you kissed her," Sirius said. He threw his arms up in the air at the trembling boy in front of him. "And James saw! Do you know what's going to happen now?"

Remus shook his head. "On the cheek. I kissed her on the cheek!"

Sirius sighed. "James didn't say that. Liar. You're a liar."

Remus abruptly stood up from where he was standing. "You want to know what I did to Lily? Well, here it goes," he said angrily. He walked the metre between the two of them and held Sirius's head firmly so that the boy could not escape. In a matter of seconds, he placed his lips on the other boy's cheek and took them off. As soon as he had taken his hands off of the side of Sirius's face, Sirius jumped backwards and wiped his cheek continuously with the sleeve of his robe.

"Ew! Gross! We don't do that, Lupin. We're guys. Guys don't kiss guys," Sirius informed him.

"Well, that's all I did to Lily and Lily is a girl so there."

A gasp came from the doorway and both boys looked over to where it had come from. James Potter was standing there, mouth agape and a fist clenched over his wand.

Sirius lept over to the boy. "How much did you see?"

Potter's eyes opened widely. "Enough."

number five: what severus?

James was running away after the incident in the dorm room. After exiting the dorm, going through the common room, and running down the stairs towards the exit of the school (for he needed fresh air after what he had just witnessed), he somehow managed to run right in to Severus Snape. His head collided with the other boy's back, causing both of them to fall backwards.

"Snape. Trying to steal my girl from me?" James asked, noticing the girl that was staring at the two boys in a heap on the ground.

"Potter," Severus scowled. He shook his head. "Your friend Lupin seems to be doing a good enough job of that without my help." He shrugged, stood up, wiped his hands across his robes to remove any dirt, and turned back to the girl that was watching them.

From where she was standing, Lily shook her head. "Severus and I were just catching up. And nothing happened between Remus and myself. You should know that, Potter." She spat at the end of his name and turned her nose to face towards the Black Lake. "And since when have I been your girl? I can't stand you, Potter." She shook her head once again and began walking in the opposite direction.

James and Severus exchanged confused looks.

And from where he was standing in his dorm room window, overlooking the entire scene that was laid out in front of him, Remus Lupin let out a large sigh. It was obvious that Lily was in to the two boys more than she was in to him.
