Disclamer: Look if I really owned Harry Potter then the plot would be rated at least R and since it's not I think that all smart people can assume that I don't own Harry Potter. (don't read this you know i don't own harry potter i just fool around with the characters)
Chapter 1 prefect bets - Remus' POV
The only problem Remus had with being a prefect was that it meant that he had to spend most of his time in the prefect compartments at the front of the train during the train ride to school. It really bugged Remus that it had to be this year because that meant that he would have to hear all about what his friends had done later and they would have to tell the story twice. Now James and Peter wouldn't mind they had had great summers and would jump at the chance to relive it a second time but Remus had received and owl from Sirius saying that Sirius had moved out of no. 12 Grimmauld place and was now living at James' and that story probably was a painful and sad story that Remus didn't want Sirius to relive again just because of Remus. Remus was sitting alone in the prefects' compartment thinking when he was interrupted with the sliding door of the compartment and the other prefects walking into the compartment that was really two compartments, which had been connected together leaving twelve seats.
Remus saw that the Ravenclaw Prefects were Victor Patil and Vena Smith, the Hufflepuff Prefects were Mary Bones and David Hamm, the Slytherin Prefects were none other than Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black, Remus suppressed a groan.
'this year's gonna be hell'
Then Remus saw the other Gryffindor Prefect and felt is heart lift it was Lily Evans the most level headed Gryffindor he knew although she did look a little put off at not being able to spend the train ride in James lap but, if anyone besides Mcgonagall or, Dumbledore could keep the Slytherins in check it was Lily.
'maybe this year won't be so bad'
After the students walked in the teachers of each house walked into the compartment and took their seats next to their houses prefects.
"Gods how did they make prefect?" Lily asked after she had taken her seat beside Remus.
"Well don't tell anyone I told you this but they're probably just about the only smart ones in Slytherin even if one is an absolute jerk-off and the other is the rudest bitch in the school" stated Remus under his breath making sure no one but Lily heard him.
"Remus" Lily gasped
"What?" Remus looked at her with an innocent look on his face"Did I not tell the truth?"
"Of course you did, you never lie but it's just your bluntness caught me off guard is all."
"Oh well that's James and Sirius' doing you'll have to talk to them about that." Remus stated with a grin.
Remus continued to tune in to the conversation about Prefect duties that year. When lily had walked in she hadn't looked please at the fact that she couldn't sit in James' lap on the train ride to school like she had on the way home at the end of the previous school year. James had finally snagged Lily at the end of exam finals after the rest of the marauders and a couple of Lily's friends had finally gotten sick of hearing the couple complain about each other and scarffed a little Verstasirium and slipped it into Lily and James' drinks one day at lunch making the two spill there guts for each other and they had bothe been on cloud nine ever since.
'If only everyone's love life could only be simple.'
Narrative POV
After the prefect meeting all the prefects were allowed to return to their friends and enjoy the remainder of the trip to school. Remus and Lily made their way to the back of the train Lily to find James' seat and Remus to find the seat next to Sirius naturally. Meanwhile in the Slytherins compartments Lucius and Narcissa entered a compartment full to the bursting point. The compartment contained Severus Snape, Bellatrix Black, the Lestrange bothers, Crabbe, Goyle, and an empty seat because Bellatrix was sitting in one of the Lestrange brothers lap and also occupying his mouth. Since there are six seats per compartment and five were already taken this forced Narcissa to sit with Lucius.
Lucius turned to Severus and asked "So guess who's a prefect this year?"
"Who?" asked Severus without much care.
"Your crush Remus Lupin is a Gryffindor Prefect, I guess that makes him even more unattainable then he as been in years past." Stated Lucius hoping to get a little rise out of Severus.
"Well it doesn't matter because one I already knew that Remus would make Prefect he is the smartest Gryffindor plus Dumbledore loves him. Secondly I could still get him if I wanted to but he wouldn't ever go for it so I don't try." He stated evenly
"Oh yeah well I'll make you a bet if you get Remus Lupin to go to Hogsmeade with you and you get him to sleep with you then I'll pay you 50 galleons and if you don't then I'll get fifty galleons." said Lucius trying to make it sound as interesting to Severus as it was to him.
"Fine I'll take that bet and when I'm done with this not only will I be fifty galleons richer but I'll also have a great boyfriend to spend it on." Challenged Severus happy that he had taken interest in the conversation after all.
"Your on" said Lucius "Shake?" Both boys shook hands and then Lucius proceeded to start a good snog with Narcissa.
"I still don't get why you won't drop that invalid and go out with me?" asked the Lestrange brother whose mouth wasn't filled with Bellatrix tongue.
"Because you're simply not my type" Severus said bluntly.
When the train started to slow down Remus and Lily had to go back to the prefect cars and when they got off the train Lucius Malfoy and his gang were there. They told Lily that they needed a word with Remus and that she should go on to the school Remus told her that it was okay and to go find James. When Lily was gone Severus Snape insisted that Remus take a carriage up to the school with him and since Remus had no oher choice but to comply that's what he did. Remus could feel the wolf inside him and it felt caged something neither he nor the wolfe liked Remus knew he would have to be cautious.
Once inside the carriage Snape started again "Hi Remus, how was your summer?"
"Ummm... Hi Snape. My summer was fine." Remus answered hesitantly
"Now Remus what's with the formalities I want us to be friends, and I can't very well do that if you still call me by my surname. Can I?"
"I guess not." Remus answered in the same voice.
"Well I was wondering since next weekend was a Hogsmeade weekend whether or not you'd like to go with me?"
"I think I can but I should check with my other friends first to make sure that they don't already have something planned that involves me let me get back to you." Remus said.
This was a safe answer because it allowed Remus a chance to get back to his pack and find out what they think, which would calm the anxious wolfe but, it also let Snape think that Remus was considering his offer and to Remus' shock he was actually considering. Yes, why shouldn't he go out with someone who would actually be interested in him it's not like he had a chance with Sirius even if he was gay Remus just wasn't good enough for Sirius. Then there was also the fact that although Snape was a royal git sometimes he was rather built and good looking even if he did look like his hair could use a really strong degreasing spell.
"That's all I ask" said Snape causally. "I just want you to know that there are other people who care about you besides those immature friends of yours." he continued
But Snape had gone too far. The wolfe flared and Remus jumped on top of Snape and growled "If you ever insult my friends again you can forget about going anywhere with me besides the Hospital wing."
Remus took a big wiff and jumped out of the carriage looking disgusted and walked the rest of the way to the school. When Remus found his friends they looked at him worriedly and all asked if he was okay.
"Yeah I'm fine" he answered then turned his head around at the sound of his name being called from across the crowd. It was Snape and his friends that had called him Snape then shouted "I'm sorry" before turning and heading into the school.
"What the hell was that about?" asked James in disbelief.
"Yeah snivels has got a lot to be sorry about but he'd never admit it out loud." said Sirius
"True" said Remus "but no Snape made me ride in a carriage to the school and he wants me to go to Hogsmeade with him next weekend" Remus paused and then when James was about to interrupt he continued "BUT I told him a would think about it so that's what I'm doing he said that he wants to be friends and I a round about way he also said that he cares about me."
"Yeah right" scoffed Sirius "Snape would care about his own mother."
"So what's Snape sorry about?" asked Peter
"Oh that yeah" Remus had forgotten about that "He insulted you and I jumped at him and got in his face. I also got a wiff of his hair and it doesn't smell like grease James, so pay up."
"What does it really smell like then?" asked James as he handed Remus three galleons.
"Well your not going to believe this but it smells like that hair gel that James used to use to get his hair to lie flat." Remus told them
" Hey I only used that stuff once. Wait but that means two things one that Snivells' hair isn't naturally straight and two that his hair is probably really curly like a perm or something." James said before everyone broke down into gails of laughter.
Once the maurauders were inside the great hall and seated in their usual places Remus and Sirius on one side with Peter across from Remus and James across from Sirius, James then leaned in and said "I bet we could sneak into the Slytherin dorms and somehow charm all the Slytherins clothes and hair to stay Gryffindor colors for a whole day, how about it?"
"Oh that would be wicked." Said Sirius
"Yeah lets do it" said Peter excitedly
"What about you Moony? It'll take all four of us to pull it off?" Sirius asked with his best puppy dog eyes. Remus suppressed a groan he didn't want to be mean to severus if he was willing to be friends but he couldn't resist those eyes and Remus caved
"Alright I'm in but it'll have to be the night before the Hogsmeade trip because of " Remus paused and looked to make sure no one was looking at them "because of my lunar tendencies."
"That's great" said James and all the maurauders looked at him "well not the lunar thing but the timing because the Slytherins would either have to miss the first Hogsmeade trip of the year or go dress in Gryffindor colors."
"Oh yeah that is great" said Peter
"Thank the moon" said Remus
"Shake?" asked Sirius. All the maurauders put their hands together and shool hands with smug grins their first prank of the year was planned and they hadn't even finished their first meal back at home.
