Sirius' POV
1st year
I could see that the sun was trying to force me to wake up but I say NAY! THAT'S RIGHT, SUN, I SAY NAY !
"Sirius, wake UP!" I heard someone shout. NAY! Then I heard a loud honk in my ear.
"What!" I jumped out of bed and landed on the floor. "OW!" I got up and rubbed my sore back side. I saw Remus put something in his robe pocket. "What in the name of Merlin was that?" I asked.
"A muggle contraption called a Bull Horn. Comes in handy with lazy people like you." With that he walked out of the room.
I got ready quickly and raced down to the Great Hall. And met up with the rest of the group before they entered the Great Hall. As we walk in I notice that Lily and Eli were at the table. I narrowed my eyes, if that incident hadn't happened yesterday I would have so been over there. But those are some crafty witches. I could feel my footsteps going a little slower. Remus looked back at me and had the balls to smirk AT ME. I will show him. I put my chin up and walk passed them to lead the way.
"Morning Evans, morning Colbeta." I said stopping behind Eli.
"Just tell us why you are here." Eli said not looking up from her book.
"What makes you think I want something?" I asked. She calmly put her bookmark in her book and turned to face me.
"If you are not going to apologize for your behavior, then I suggest that you back up so that I can get to the library." She said.
"Why do I have to apologize? I was the one that was knocked to the ground."
"You deserved it for being an arse."
"How was I being an arse?" I asked confused. I swear some steam escaped from her ears.
"You really don't know, you thick-headed mhph." She was cut off by Lily's hand covering her mouth.
"Sirius, just apologize." Remus said. Wow he is not on my side today.
"Fine," I know when I'm loosing a battle. "I'm sorry for being a think-headed arse. Happy?" Lily released Eli.
"Bite me." Eli said.
"With pleasure." I said adding a growl at the end.
"You are insufferable." She groaned before storming past me.
"Bye Remus, see you around." Lily said before running after Eli.
"Eli is full of surprises, huh?" James asked sitting down next to Peter. "I've known her forever and I have never seen her hate someone as much as you." James said causally as he ate a scone.
For some reason that really hurt me. I don't even understand why she hated me so much. I mean I'm amazing.
"She seems to like Remus alright though." Peter said.
"No surprise, she attracts the smart ones." James said.
"Then how did you become her friend?" Remus asked cheekily.
"Because I attract the mental ones." James said back, sticking his tongue out at Remus.
"I resent that Potter." I said waving my toast at him. He just shrugged and went back to eating like a pig.
Soon we had to go to our first class. Transfiguration seemed simple enough. When we walk in, Eli and Lily are already there. Alice was with them as well. She isn't as feisty as the other two. Remus saw me staring at them and shook his head, he looked amused. He is really getting on my nerves today. Alice whispered in Eli's ear and Eli's head snapped in my direction. She looked darkly at me before looking away. Really this time I have no clue what I did.
"That's enough Eli." I heard Lily say to Eli.
"I'm done." Eli said.
"McGonagall is here." Remus said nudging me to a seat.
This woman was not to be messed with, that much was clear after her brief speech to the class. She did not smile the entire hour. Maybe once or twice at the Goody-Goody Trio and at Remus but never at me. So from now until Graduation, my main goal in this class is to make that woman smile at me.
Our next class was Potions, with none other than the Slytherins. So what if my family was full of pure Slytherins since the first Black, I have no ties with them. It came as no surprise that the trio sat near Snape. Lily seemed close to that one. I don't know why she would be. The floorboard is more interesting than him. I also don't understand why Eli finds him so funny. I am 10x no 1,000,000x funnier than him.
I don't even know why I'm thinking about it. I don't even care that she hangs out with him. She gets under my skin. I looked away from them and saw that James was looking at them too. He was focused on Lily, by the look on his face, he fancied her.
"Remy, seems like Jamie fancy little Miss Evans." I said seriously. I know James heard us because he turned and glared at us.
"Yes, Siri, I agree, Jamie does seem to fancy her." Remus said in the same voice.
"I hear no denial from Jamie, is it true?" I asked and saw his cheeks flare up.
"Oh, dear Siri, you are forgetting about yourself." Remus said confusing me. "Jamie it seems that our Siri has found himself captivated with Miss Colbeta."
"I…what? Her…no." I sputtered.
"We may not be in Egypt but you are certainly in denial." I have no idea what that means but I am taking it defensively.
"Wank off Remus." I mumbled. I turned away from him and heard snickering. How rude. Thankfully the Professor arrived. Though how he got through the door, is besides me. The man was huge.
"Hello Class I am Professor Slughorn." Slug was right, the man rarely got out of his seat.
The class itself was not that bad. Potions stink though. As soon as the class ended I collected my stuff and left.
"Sirius, wait!" I heard James shout. They caught up to me pretty quick.
"Merlin you walk fast." Remus said. I didn't acknowledge them and just looked forward.
"Come on Sirius you are not giving us the silent treatment." James said. I ignored him.
"I was just kidding Sirius. I didn't mean it." Remus said.
"What did Egypt have to do with my supposed denial?" I asked, I can't not talk to friends for long.
"Egypt has a river named the Nile." Remus said sounding relieved to hear my voice.
"Are you half muggle?" I asked.
"Yes, my mother is a muggle." He left it at that.
Remus is a strange bloke, nice and everything but very shy. I don't know why he doesn't have more friends than just us. He is a very reserved guy. The fact that his mother is muggle is the only information that we have gotten about his family. I wonder why he is so secretive. He must be close to his father because that is who taught him chess after all.
"Mr. Black would you care to answer?" The professor asked looking at me.
"Levitation Spell." Remus whispered. I repeated him.
"Mr. Lupin please do not cover for others lack of knowledge. 5 points to Gryffindor for helping a friend." The professor said smiling at us.
"Thanks Remus." I whisper to him when the professor turned back to the rest of the class.
"No problem, now pay attention." He said facing forward.
More classes, more classes, and more classes. The school day was over. I was tired. After dinner the guys and I went to the common room to unwind. School was bad and all but home was way worse. Home was just a hotel room in hell. And this summer it is going to be even worse. I am the first non-Slytherin. My mother is either going to kill me or I am going to go deaf from all her yelling.
"Remus can you help me with something?" Someone called from the other side of the common room.
"Sure what do you need help with Eli?" Remus asked walking over to her.
"That charms spell from earlier is still messing me up."
"Ok let me see you try." Remus said to her. He didn't have the same problem with her that I did. I don't know why I even care. "Ok I see where you are going wrong. Watch me." He took out his wand and showed her the movement.
In my opinion she was looking at Remus a little too much.
"Now you try." Remus said. For some reason I couldn't look away from them. "No here look." Remus said grabbing onto her wrist. I don't really think that it was necessary. He was getting a little too close. "Now say the spell."
"Wingardium Leviosa." Eli said. The quill lifted above their heads. "Thank you Remus." Eli said excitedly. She hugged him suddenly, Remus wasn't expecting it and fell back a little. Did she really have to hug him that tight. I really don't care but Remus was looking like he couldn't breathe.
"Aunt Lela, you are strangling Remus." James said causally.
"You prick." Eli said immediately releasing Remus. She was angry and I am glad it wasn't my fault this time.
"Now you sound like her." Eli gathered her stuff roughly and went upstairs, we heard the door slam.
"Potter that was uncalled for." Lily yelled at poor James. Again not to sound mean, but I am so glad it wasn't at me.
"See ya around guys." Alice said before following them upstairs.
"Why is Eli mad at you?" Remus asked coming back to us.
"Not that she hates her mother but she hates being compared to her. Aunt Lela is a bit clingy especially with Eli." James explained. I guess I'm not the only one with Mommy issues.
"I'm calling it a night." I said going up to the dormitory.
I close the curtain to my bed as soon as I reached the room. I don't know why I keep bugging over whatever Eli does. She was cool when we were in the boats, and she is definitely one of the cutest girls in our year. She is just over all beautiful and that doesn't even cover all of it.
I still don't like her. Just because she is beautiful doesn't mean I like her.
"Night Sirius." I heard James say on the other side of the curtain.
"Goodnight."
My dream was so weird. I know that I was in Hogwarts and I am walking down a corridor. There was a door at the end of the hall and I walked into it. Inside there was only one window. The moon was the only source of light in the room. Then suddenly from behind a desk a really big dog came out. I wasn't scared though, it was as if I knew the dog.
The dog and I walked towards each other. I knelt down and petted him. I looked him in the eye and I knew, this dog was me. I don't know why but I knew. The dog's head looked at something over my shoulder. I turned and saw a big, black cat. The cat was so elegant as it walked towards us. It had black fur and the coolest eyes.
She walked right passed me and straight to the dog. I expected them to fight, with them being cat and dog. Instead they just looked at each other. They loved each other. I know, how can an eleven year old know about love? But I have seen it. Like when my cousin Andromenda looks at her boyfriend Ted Tonks. I can see that they are meant to be. I have never seen love at home. I've seen pride, jealousy, and anger, but never love.
This is the weirdest thing so far that I have ever seen. Dogs usually hate cats, don't they? The cat looked at me. Her eyes, I felt like I have seen them before. She looked at me like she knew me too. I leaned in closer and
HONK!
Two days in a row with that blasted horn, I am going on record that I am going to kill Remus.
