Remus woke up, trying not to scream from the nightmare he had, sweat was dripping from his nose. Most people's nightmares don't come true, but his does, every month. He heard snoring, and looked at the bed opposite him, it was Peter, tightly tucked in under the covers, he turned to James's bed, James had one leg on top of the covers, and the other leg under. Sirius was sprawled out across his bed, his covers nowhere to be seen.

Remus looked at the time and date, 7:35 AM, September second, 1971. It was his first day of school. Remus got up to go and get a shower.

OoOoO

When Remus came out of the shower, Sirius and James were deep in a discussion about Quidditch.

"The Falmouth Falcons are better!" Sirius shouted, angrily, Remus sighed, and sat down on his bed.

"Puddlemore United are top of the leader boards, right now!" James replied, just as angrily. Remus began putting his uniform on.

"Yeah, right now, but the Falcons are coming up fast!" Argued Sirius. Remus looked over at Peter, how was he still asleep in bed? Remus thought, in envy.

"Doesn't matter, Puddlemore's gonna kick their bludgers!" Smirked James. Remus finished putting on his uniform, and Peter had went to get a shower.

"Don't you think yo-" Remus began, but was interrupted by Sirius.

"Remus who do you think is better? The Falcons, who are the toughest team in Britain, or Puddlemore, the lamest team in Britan?" Asked Sirius with a smirk. Remus sighed.

"I don't care about Quidditch." Remus began, James and Sirius gasped. "Now, don't you two think you should take a shower, and get ready?"

"Why? It's only quarter to eight." Asked James, looking at the clock.

Remus chuckled. "Breakfast starts at eight." James and Sirius looked at each other, then, just as Peter exited the bathroom, they both ran for it; James got there first. Sirius yelled in rage.

Just then Lily Evans walked in. "What is going on in here?" She asked angrily.

Sirius stared at her for a minute before he asked. "How did you get in here?"

Lily stared at him, as though he was an idiot and then replied. "I walked up the stairs."

"But how? When we tried to get into the girls dormitories, we-" Sirius stated bluntly.

Lily looked furious. "You did what?!" Remus groaned, Peter tried to hide behind Remus, it was rather ineffective. Lily shook her head as she left.

James came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. "Who was that?"

Sirius stayed silent and walked into the bathroom.

Peter was not behind Remus anymore. "We'll tell you at breakfast." Remus muttered, quietly.

OoOoO

Remus, James, Peter and Sirius, sat in the great hall eating breakfast, Sirius and Peter could have been mistaken for being in a eating contest, Remus was slowly eating the meat, he loved tasting the juices. James was eating like a normal person, however he missed his mouth a few times as he was concentrating on Lily.

"Peter, who do you think the best Qudditch team is?" Asked Sirius, through a mouthful of roast beef. Remus sighed.

"Quidditch?" Asked Peter, chewing chicken. And it was then that breakfast became boring to Remus, as James and Sirius spent the whole meal, explaining Quidditch to Peter.

The prefects handed out timetables. "Aww." Groaned Sirius. "We have Potions with Slytherins!" Everyone else groaned too. The bell rang a few seconds after, signalling their first class.

"Let's go." Sighed James, Remus looked over at Lily, and saw her with Snape. They began to walk to potions, when Snape and his gang, Evan Roiser, Avery, Rabastan LeStrange, Mulcibar and Wilkes came out in front of them, Sirius and James brought out their wands, while Remus went to talk to Snape.

"Hello, Snape." Said Remus in a friendly tone, he extended a hand. Snape stared at it for a moment.

"Just go away S-Sn-." Peter was struggling with his first name. "Snivellus?" James and Sirius snickered, thinking Peter had meant it as an insult.

"Yeah, Snivellus, move out of the way." Smirked James.

"I just wanted to let you know, that you should stay out of our way." Snape gestured to his group. "If you know whats good for you..." He walked away.

"Good thing we don't know whats good for us, eh, James?" Sirius nudged James, and smirked James nodded, and they walked to potions.

OoOoO

Remus, Sirius, James and Peter entered the potions class in the dungeons, it was dark and cold down there, Remus had already began dreading the winter lessons, however the moment they stepped into the classroom, everything became warmer, the cauldrons were warm, the teachers attitude was warm. In fact, the only cold thing in there, were the Slytherins.

"Hello, Students." Said a man, probably in his late forties, with brown, slightly balding hair. "I am your potions teacher, Professor Horace Slughorn, and also head of Slytherin house. Now, let me try and memorise your names."

About ten minutes later, he memorised all of their names. "That's my quickest time yet! Anyway, you may now pick a partner." Slughorn smiled. Remus saw James, as he looked for Lily, but was pulled aside by Sirius.

"What are you do-?" Asked James, angrily. Sirius stared at him for a moment.

"I'm getting my partner." Sirius replied. Remus saw James looking over Sirius's shoulder, and saw that Snape was with Lily, and that Remus was going to be stuck with Peter.

Remus sighed, he was probably going to do terribly in potions. "Open your textbooks to page 60." Slughorn called, to the class.

OoOoO

By the end of class Peter had blown up his and Remus's cauldron twice, Remus managed to scrape by with an Exceeds Expectations. James and Sirius got an Acceptable. Snape and Lily got an Outstanding.

"Man, I'm never going to get Lily to like me, am I?" Asked James sadly, as they made their way to Transfiguration.

"Do you want us to be honest?" Replied Sirius. James nodded his head.

"No." The other three boys said at the same time, James sighed.
