Remus Lupin was bored stiff. My friends were supposed to be meeting him here an hour ago but they still hadn't showed. Most people would have left by now but I knew my friends would be there, they were just late. Very late.
'Moony!'
'Hey Moony!'
I looked around for the source of the yelling and saw my two friends running down Diagon Alley as if all the werewolves in the world were chasing them.
'You two are really late!'
'Sorry Moony! We slept in!'
'No Pads here slept in, I got up at a decent hour.'
'What? 2 minutes before me?'
'Whatever happened you two are here now and that's all that matters! Now where to?'
'Umm, to the Quidditch shop?'
'No way Prongs!'
'Maybe we should go get our books?'
'Yeah. Lead the way Moony!'
As they walked to the book shop they ran into Frank Longbottom, who had just left Hogwarts and his girlfriend Alice.
'Hi guys.'
'Hi Frank, what are you doing here?'
'Oh just a little shopping. So you guys are here for your school stuff?'
'Yeah.'
'Do you know who got Head boy and girl?'
As he said that James started looking around but Frank didn't notice.
'No idea as to who head girl is, sorry.' said Sirius. 'But I know who Head boy is!'
'Oh congratulations Remus! I knew you would get it!' Alice stated.
'But I didn't get it. I don't know who did.' I replied.
'Really? Then who…Sirius?'
'Oh god no, not me!' Sirius said. 'James here is the lucky duck who gets the award, not that I want it!'
'James! You are head boy?' I said surprised.
'Yeah and not happy about it!'
'Well then, sorry to talk and run but we have places to be!' Frank said.
'Bye.'
As they walked away I looked at James trying to figure out why he was made Head boy. He caught me looking and said
'What?!'
'Nothing. Just wondering what Dumbledore was on when he made you head boy.'
'Ha ha Moony. Just keep it up.'
'Or what?' Sirius asked 'You'll put him on detention?'
'Might.'
'Lets just get to the book shop, okay?'
The rest of the day went much like this. Disbelief when we met anyone and told them about James. By the end of the day James was sick of everyone thinking it was a Marauder joke.
'Why me?' he said as we had dinner at his place. 'Why did Dumbledore pick me?'
'Cause he hates you and he wants you to suffer for everything we've done to him and the staff?'
'Or because he thought that by having two Marauders in high places he could control us?'
'Yeah maybe.'
'Whatever one it is, I can't wait to see the look on Lily's face when she finds out!'
'Yeah. Maybe it will make her like me more?'
'Or hate you even more.'
'Is that even possible?'
'I think it might be Padfoot.'
'Will you two shut it!'
'Remus?' James mother cut into our fight. 'Do you need a lift home?'
'No actually, I'm catching the Knight bus, but thanks anyway.'
'Shouldn't you be going? It's nine o'clock already.'
'Really? Well I better get going. I told my parents I would be home by nine thirty and it takes an half hour to get home so bye guys!'
'Bye Moony!'
'Yeah see ya Moons!'
'Bye Pads and Prongs!'
As I left the house I could hear Sirius and James fighting as to who got the bed tonight. I laughed. Only my friends could turn a fight over who got the last goodbye to me into who gets the bed tonight.
Authors note: Another short one but better a short one then nothing at all, right? Anyway please review and thanks to Lu for making me post this chappie otherwise I would not have done it!
