Murder Between Friends
Chapter 1
The creature slowly crept up behind its victim. Slowly, silently it started gaining. But this creature wasn't an animal, but a person. Slowly this person crept up slowly, slowly, and then…

"Yo James!"
James jumped about a foot in the air as his best friend came running up behind him.
"Sirius!" James yelled, annoyed. "You scared me half to death."
"That was the point," Sirius smiled. James lightened up. Sirius surprised him with the next question: "What are you doing out here?"
"Why?"
"Aren't you supposed to be at your house with Remus, Peter, and Lily?"
James panicked. "What?!" he asked. "I totally forgot!" With that James set off at a run, with Sirius at his heels. When he got to his house he found Lily and Remus engrossed in conversation and Peter trying to work his new Muggle item, a Playstation 2.
"I'm so sorry you guys," he panted as Sirius came up behind him.
"No problem," Lily reassured him, standing up. "We had fun trying to work this thing." She indicated the Playstation.
"It was interesting to watch Peter figure out that you had to make the characters jump to get over things," Remus told them, standing up as well, which left Peter to scramble up after them.
They headed up towards James' room. They all ended up falling asleep after about midnight.

"Wake up sleepy head."
"Wha…" James sat up and put his glasses on. He looked up at Lily, who was fully dressed and up. "What time is it?"
"Ten o'clock."
"Wake me up at twelve then," he then attempted to pull the covers back up over his face.
"No, you're the only one up."
"Why don't you wake one of the others up, then?"
"Because they would throttle me if I did."
"Fine," James said, now awake.
Everyone woke up shortly after and they all spent the morning talking about they're new ways to corrupt the Slytherins' lives once they got back to Hogwarts in September. After a while Remus checked his watch.
"I'd better get home," he told them at about one o'clock. Then he left.
"Me too," Peter said. "I promised Mum I'd de-gnome the yard." Sirius and Lily both had to get home too and left. James, after everyone left, decided he'd go somewhere and left.

Remus was walking home when he heard footsteps behind him. Despite who it might be, he sped up, not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment. As soon as he sped up so did the footsteps. He walked faster still, so did the footsteps. He broke into a run, and so did the person behind him. All of a sudden he was tackled to the ground by someonedressed all in black with their face covered, who seemed to be about his weight. He struggled to throw the person off but this person had the advantage. Then Remus noticed the person pull something out of their pocket. A knife. He struggled even more now, trying desperately to get away. Finally he managed to roll out from under the person, and not a moment after the knife came down right where he used to be. He took this time to run all the way home and didn't stop till he had slammed the door behind him. He bolted all the windows and doors and picked up the Muggle item he received from Lily on Christmas, a phone and dialed Sirius' phone number.
