Chapter 1

Lupin walked out under the stars and crunched through the freshly fallen snow. James was walking around with nothing to do when he spotted Lupin not to far off and decided to go and talk to him.

"Hey, Remus. Nice night out is it not?"

Lupin stopped and turned to his friend. "Oh.....Hi, James.....yeah, I guess it's kinda nice....." He then started to walk again.

James walks with him. "Hey somethin bothering ya buddy?"

Lupin sighed," I dunno James....Something just feels.....wrong."

"How so?" James said as he stopped

Lupin stopped as well. "I'm not sure...I'm just feelin empty."

"Poor Remus. The lone wolf of the bunch."

He gives James a faint smile, "Guess that's me."

Seeing that his friend wasn't to keen on the subject James decided to change it. "So, where's the others?"

"I think Sables up in her room with Sirius....." He gave James a glassy look.

"Oh, I see. So, how long until dinner?" They started walking again.

"Probably another hour."

"Hey, there's a rumor of a new kid."

"Really...." Lupin doesn't sound very interested.

"Yea...so....um."

"In any of our classes?"

"Depends on the house and year." said James

"Hm. true."

"Yup." Lupin and James continue to talk until it was time for dinner

When dinner finally came around James and Lupin sat with Sable and Sirius.

Sirius turned to them, "Hey, guys."

"Hey." said the two. Then James added, "Where's the little terd and Lily?"

"Right here." Came Lily's voice from behind James.

"Oh, hi ya. What were you two up to?" James glared at Pettigrew.

"James! Why do you always think when I'm with another guy we're fucking?"

Sable turned to Lily, "It's a guy thing. Don't get your panties in a bunch."
Lily sat down, as did Pete. " So, hear anything on the new kid?" Asked Lily.

Sirius answered. "No,"

"How about you guys?" No was the only answer she got until Pete spoke up.

"W-well, heard something."

"Then let's hear it."

"The, um, the new kid c-came from Durmstrang a-and Dumbledore is going t-to announce it w-when dinner is over."

"Is it a guy or girl?" Asked Sable.

"I-I don't know."

"Oh, ok."

The group went on with talking until dinner was over and Dumbledore stood up.

"Would you all please give me your attention for a few moments?" Dumbledore waited for the talking to die down before he spoke again. "Ok, now that I have your attention I would like to make an announcement. As you may have heard we have a new student. Carmen Riddle, please come and let everyone see you."

AN: I could have let you all know what she looked like but I didn't feel like it so ha. Is it just me or was there too much talking in that chapter? I don't know. Oh, well. I'll be waiting for some reviews. Bleh, I didn't like that chapter too much.
