Chapter 11
Remus's POV
It was Halloween and everyone was excited. There was supposed to be a huge feast today. I was excited for my first Halloween at Hogwarts, maybe we'll do something interesting in our classes today. I was eating when I got a letter from my mum.
Dear Remus,
Happy Halloween! I wanted to send you some candy since there might not be any at the feast. I hope you're enjoying your time at Hogwarts! Be safe.
Love,
Mum
"Remus… what's in that package there?" I hear Sirius say as he's looking over my shoulder.
I sigh, "My mum sent me some candy, and yes, you can have some- later!" I add quickly. They look slightly disappointed at me but I just ignored them. I put the letter and candy in my bag and continue eating.
"Ugh, we have History of Magic today." Peter says. He hated History of Magic. In fact, everyone did. I wasn't overly fond of the class either, it was kind of boring. Today wasn't as boring as usual. Professor Binns was telling us about the different Halloweens at Hogwarts. We didn't have to take notes, but no one did anyway. We had out the enchanted parchment though.
Okay, this isn't that bad -PP
Yeah, some of it's interesting at least -SB
We also don't have to study any of this -JP
Like you study anyway -RL
I do! -JP
Sometimes at least -JP
Sure -RL
Don't you think its weird that someone died on Halloween? -SB
It is a bit weird -JP
Guys, class is over -RL
They all look up to see everyone standing up and putting their bags on their shoulders. They began to quickly pack up their books. Everyone was happier today from the more interesting History of Magic lesson.
The day went by really fast because everyone was excited for the feast. All of the teachers seemed more relaxed today too. I think they wanted to let us have fun today.
One thing was for sure, James, Sirius, and Peter were ecstatic. I was very excited as well to spend Halloween with my friends. I always went trick or treating with my mum, but never with friends. I never had any friends to go with. Obviously we weren't gonna do that but we were going to celebrate in a way.
There was a lot of food at the feast. It looked like there was more than at the Welcoming Feast. We were having a great time. This was the best Halloween I've ever had.
That is, until the centaur. A centaur burst into the Great Hall causing many people to scream. Everyone's attention turned to where the centaur was standing. "Firenze, what is the matter?"
"Excuse me Professor, I apologize greatly but I couldn't wait very long. May I speak to you privately?"
"Of course." Dumbledore stood up and walked with Firenze out of the Great Hall. Slowly everyone resumed talking.
"What do you think happened?" Peter whispered.
"I don't know, I've never seen a centaur before. Very fascinating."
"Why did it come here? I thought they weren't allowed to leave the forest." James said.
"Something bad must've happened if he had to interrupt a feast." I commented again. Dumbledore came back in, whispered something to McGonagall, and then left again. He didn't return for the remainder of the feast. I hope everything is okay.
We arrived back in the dorm room and ate sweets that we got. We were also trying to teach Peter and Sirius wizard chess. It ended with Sirius throwing a pawn across the room. It was the best Halloween I've ever had.
