A/N: I know I said I couldn't go on today, but I managed to get online long enough to post this.

I'm sad to say this is the last chapter of Year 1, but I'll be working on Year 2 and it should be up soon as a separate story.

Chapter 12: Summer

Remus's POV

The days seemed to pass in a blur of classes, detentions, revising, and the occasional prank on Snape or Steven.

I don't even know how I managed to get through all my tests when I was so stressed. I was the first werewolf to go to school, and I wanted to show that I was smart enough, and to prove to not only my father but to myself and the world that werewolves were just ordinary people with a problem every month.

The Marauders realized there was something wrong, as they put it; 'what normal eleven year old boy revises The Marauders realized there was something wrong, as they put it; 'what normal eleven year old boy revises enough to pass the Third year tests?' But they let me do my revising, and even tuned down the pranks so I'd have more time to study.

Much to their disgust, I dragged them into the library every chance I got so they could revise too, or to quiz me on things I thought might come up in the tests.

Mostly it was Peter who revised with me because he needed all the help he could get. Sirius and James sometimes came with us to the library, but they never revised, instead they talked in whispers or looked for cool spells.

Apparently, Sirius and James were naturally genius's because the exams came and went and they passed with high marks. I managed to score high too; even Peter managed to get acceptable marks.

Sitting at the Gryffindor table at the end of year feast, it seemed like the whole year had passed too quickly.

Dumbledore announced that Ravenclaw won the house cup; I would have preferred Gryffindor to win but with the Marauders losing so many points it wasn't really a surprise that we came second.

"At least Slytherin came last," James said, clapping for Ravenclaw.

"Yeah, my cousins will be awful this summer!" Sirius laughed.

"Look on the bright side; next year is Lucius's last year," I pointed out.

"Shame Andromeda's graduating this year though," Peter said.

We'd all come to like Sirius's cousin Andromeda and her boyfriend Ted.

All too soon the Marauders were promising to write in the summer and James mentioned asking his parents to let everyone stay with him for a week.

Even Lily asked me to write to her over the holidays before going up to what I guessed were her parents and sister, the latter looking like she'd swallowed a lemon.

Then it was just Sirius and I left waiting for our parents.

"Make sure to write, I don't think I'll survive this summer otherwise," Sirius said.

I nodded, thinking the exact same thing.

My dad pulled up, so I waved goodbye to Sirius and got into the car, my dad sneered at me and I sighed sadly. Yes, I was in for a very long summer.

A/N: Ravenclaw winning was to Yune – The Ravenclaw Writer to thank her for everything she's done to help.

Sorry if you think everything was over too fast, but it's the same in the books if you look.

According to the poll (thanks to everyone who voted) you want me to write Year 2, so I'll get working on it straight away.

I think this is my shortest chapter, so I promise the first chapter of Year 2 will be longer!

Hope you liked it, please review! :)
