Authors Note: I know that Lucius Malfoy is older than the Maruaders, but im not really focusing on that, I was focusing on the additudes of the fellow students. Im just going to make all of the parents of the Harry Potter children the same age, if that makes you feel any better, beleive me, it is for a good cause. All for the sake of a good storyline. If you like my stories, reccomend me to friends, i'd love you forever. -IEatCloudsForBeakfast 3
Chapter 3
James looked around, sitting across from Remus, and observed everything around him. He watched the headmaster, Dumbledore, announce a few things, and then, magically the food appears on the tables. No suprise there, to James, but Remus inhales deeply with shock.
"As if you havent seen that happen Remus." James says, ignorantly, and rudely.
"As a matter of fact no, I have not, James, my mother prefers to act like muggles." Remus replies.
"Oh. Im sorry. Might I ask why?" James asks.
"Because of Dad. He is a muggle." Remus mumbles.
"EXCUSE ME?" Sirus says, the first thing he has said cince the sorting arguement with McGonagal. "You're a mudblood! Aren't you?"
"I am not a mudblood, you insensitive prat. I am a half blood. There is a difference." Remus says, just as loud as he had awnsered James, but a little bit more forceful towards Sirius.
"Oh. I am sorry. I didn't mean to call you that, I just assumed-"
"Its fine. Im fine. Just don't judge a book by it's cover. Do not just assume, anything." Remus interrupts, speaking through his teeth now, and you could see the veins in his head.
"Remus. Calm down." Peter says, after swallowing a huge bite of turkey leg. Peter seemed to consume a lot of food, in very little time.
James listens to the boys babble, but isnt really paying much attention to them after that. He is skimming the Gryffindor table for people he might mildly know. As he is skimming the table as he sees the girl from the train. She is sitting there silent, not far down the table, next to some upperclassmen. She nervously twirls her long red hair in thought, and looked very cute doing so. James hears someone say his name, and realizes it was Remus.
"What? I'm sorry, I was spacing out." James says.
"James, im not daft. I know what staring is. And it seems you were staring at," He pauses and puts his head where mine was then continues, "Lily Evans."
"You know her name? Lily..." James trails off in thought.
"James, don't be like that. She won't like you. She is so out of your league." Remus says.
"How would you know this?" James asks, still staring at Lily.
"I sat by her on the train. She already thinks you are daft, you do not need another bad impression." Remus says.
"Well, then i'll make a good one." James says, getting up. James walks down by where Lily is sitting and taps her on the shoulder. When she turns around, he tries to smile, and say, "Hello. I'm James Potter, nice to meet you." but what came out was: "Hi, im James Potter and I really like you."
Lily's face turns red, and she looks as if she were holding back laughter. The kids around her were already laughing harshly as James ran back to his seat and covered his head with the sleeves of his robes.
"James. James. James. J-A-M-E-S! We have to go with the head of house to the common room." Remus says.
"All right." James says, jumping from his seat, and follows the group of anxious first year Gryffindors to the Gryffindor Common room, through a portrait hole.
"Dorms are as follows," begins McGonagal, "Boys will go to the left, and girls to the right. Follow the stairs till you see a door with your name on it. Tomorrow morning you will all awake to a class schedule at your bedside, along with a map, use the map to get to your classes, and try not to be too late. Now go to your dorms."
Most guys decide to stick around the common room after McGonagal leaves, but James goes to find his dorm. He climbs a ton of stairs before finding a door that had the following names on it:
James Potter
Remus Lupin
Peter Pettigrew
Sirius Black
James is astounded by the last name and opens the door to find his bed. To his full suprise, the dorm is full, of his friends, and Sirius Black.
