Remus' Diary
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Characters
14 May 1972
I feel so awful I can barely write this diary entry. I got into a bit of a 'scrape' last night during my transformation. Apparently I broke free from the Shrieking Shack and went hunting. I got into a fight with a centaur, a hippograph and another wolf. I don't know who the wolf was but it came from the village,not the school. There are fight marks all over my body and I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My friends aren't allowed to see me this time because they might work out what I am. They just said I had a bug and it was infectious.
I didn't do much today apart from trying to get better. I've been sick a couple of times, I checked my reflection in the mirror. I look awful! My skin is deathly pale and I have marks all over my body. Dumbledore assures me that the Shrieking Shack is now secure. He told me that I didn't kill or turn anyone, none noticed because I didn't go into the village. He said that there was no harm done, that I wouldn't escape again. I was lucky, am I being selfish? Going to this school and endangering the lives of others. Maybe I should just go away. Didn't have anything to eat just a subsidence potion. It's what you give a patient that can't swallow their food. So I'm gonna try to get some sleep...wish me luck I'll write tomorrow.

Exam start today, luckily I feel much better! First exam was Charms we had to make a pineapple tap-dance across a desk. We had to wait in a big queue because it was a one-on-one thing.
"Sirius Black" the teacher called.
"Good luck mate" James smiled.
"Thanks" and with that he went in.
Sirius must of gone out another way because the teacher continued calling people in. Until finally he said:
"Remus Lupin"
OK, remember the spell, remember the spell. Professor Flitwick was as small as me, but he smiled kindly at me.
"Can you make the pineapple tap-dance across a desk please." he ordered in that weird squeaky voice of his.
"OK" I readied myself, closed my eyes and said the spell.
When I opened my eyes the pineapple was tap dancing across the desk, Flitwick looked very pleased with me.
"Excellent Remus, well done you've passed" he said cheerfully.
Yes!
"Thank you Professor" I beamed as I walked out.
At break we were discussing our exams.
"It was easy" James boasted.
"I'll have to agree, I expected it to be harder" I admitted.
"Me too, I could of done that blind folded" Sirius scoffed.
"I thought it was rather difficult" Peter said in a small voice.
I do feel sorry for Peter sometimes because he wasn't as bright as the rest of us.
"What exam have we got next?"James asked breezily.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts" I answered.
"Should be a doddle" James shrugged.
Again we had to line up outside the classroom and wait to be called in. Snape was talking to Avery about revision.
"It could be a curse we have to do, I know plenty of them. I know one that will make the victims have huge scars all over their body" Snape told Avery.
Don't need a curse; a full moon will do that.
"I know plenty of hexes too, I read about this hex that will..." Snape continued.
I just knew trouble was brewing, the way James looked at him.
"That will do what? Hurt innocent people? Look I know you can't wait to join Voldermort but keep it down some of us don't want to hear it" James said.
For once I am 100% behind James on this one.
"What? Did I mention some spell you don't know? If it's too advanced for you Potter stay out of it!" Snape retorted.
"Well I don't want to be a Death Eater when I grow up so I'm happy to die in ignorance"
One thing I've always admired about James is his hatred of the Dark Arts.
"Like I said, you prefer to be brawny rather then brainy" Snape said dryly.
One thing I noticed was that Lily wasn't defending him this time.
"Lily Evans" Professor called, she exited the room.
"Well at least people like me; which is more then I can say about you" James smirked.
They continued having a heated row, they HATE each other!
"Why don't you fuck off to your Death Eater friends. Your ugly, slimy and none likes you" James finished off cruelly.
"Remus Lupin" the teacher called.
Finally! When I left the argument it showed no signs of abating.
The test was easy, we had to repel an attack. SO EASY! When I met up with my friends at lunch (I had tomato soup). James bitched about Snape all the way through.
"...oily little tic can't wait to join the Death Eaters...did you hear all those hexes he knew! He knows more hexes and curses then the seventh years" James drowned on.
"It's weird how he knew so many curses" I agreed.
"I don't think it's weird at all" Sirius joined in, "He properly practises them everyday him and his little Death Eater coven. I'm not surprised at all"
"Let's get him for it!" Peter grinned.
I had the feeling that Peter would never bully Snape on his own. Just as long as James and Sirius backed him up.
After lunch we had Transfiguration we had to turn a mouse into a snuff box. Apparently we get extra points on how pretty the snuff box is. I sat down in front of her and took a deep breath. I said the spell, the mouse had turned into snuff box. It was a red plastic kind of snuff box. She said:
"Well done Remus! Very good" she beamed, "You passed with flying colours"
Yay!
We were walking down the corridor to the Gryffindor common room.
"What was yours like?" I asked James.
"It had the flower lilies on it shaped in a pattern" he said smugly.
"Mine got a tail" Peter informed us.
"Did you fail?" Sirius asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"No, I still turned it into a snuff box" Peter smiled.
"I turned mine into a silver one"Sirius boasted.
I had Chicken for dinner and Yogurt for dessert! Goodbye I'll write tomorrow!
21st May 1972
Today we had the potions exam, we had to make a forgetfulness potion from memory. Rather ironic. Peter looked lost at sea but James and Sirius were swimming through it. It was easy (as I spent hours memorising potions). Snape was really doing well, but I had to concentrate on my own potion.
"Stop!" Slughorn ordered.
He went around to investigate the room.
"Well done James! You too Sirius!" he remarked.
He got to me and Peter.
"Great work Remus! Um...we'll talk after class Peter"
But when he got around to Snape's.
"Wow! Best potion in the room! Congratulations Snape!" he applauded.
Snape looked pompously at James, Did he have a death wish?
The last exam was History of Magic. It was an hour of answering questions, seriously boring! I passed it though.
THE END OF EXAMS!
We ran around and played games to celebrate, we also stole some food from the kitchens. I say 'stole' the elves just gave it too us. I had a lovely PIE and strawberries in cream for dessert! Goodbye I'll write tomorrow!
1st June 1972
We've only got a month left of school, now that the exams are over everything is a lot more relaxed. The Marauders (us) we're spending most of our time outside. It's too nice to be cramped inside.
"You can't catch me!" James squealed as he tried to run away from us.
But me and Sirius caught him and wrestled him to the ground. Peter turned up five seconds later puffing and panting. He's not really the athletic type. We tied our school ties around our heads and put up the shirt collar. Our shirts we're untucked and our top buttons we're undone. We found some gel and we spiked up our hair for fun! We didn't get told off which was weird because he looked like that in lessons.
In Potions we were waiting for the teacher to arrive. Snape went up to us and snickered.
"Find something funny do you?" James snarled.
What is wrong with him? If I was Snape I'd keep as far away from James as I possibly could!
"Nothing, nice look Potter" Snape sneered back.
"Leave off, Snape" I joined in.
I can't feel sorry for him if he started it.
"It's OK Remus, you see unlike Snivellus I can stand up for myself" James grinned.
"I can stand up for myself" Snape's voice quivered a little.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Lily shouted.
"Ah Evans nice for you to join us!" James said in a mocking tone.
Snape looked irritated that Lily had interrupted them.
"What were you saying?" James smiled evilly.
The Professor saw this as a good time to interrupt the lesson. We all sat down, I sat next to James and Lily sat next to Sniev- I mean Snape.
For dinner I had Beef with roast potatoes and for dessert I had pineapple-upside-down cake. Goodbye I'll write tomorrow!
