Remus' Diary
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Characters
15 October 1973
Today was our first legal trip to Hogesmeade, it felt good to be FINALLY old enough to go. We decided to go together. It was the Marauders plus one: Veronica. James and Veronica have become inseparable over the past few weeks. Half of me is glad that James is happy and not moping about Lily all day and the other half can't stand the girl he's with. She's a nightmare! A very hot nightmare but a nightmare none the less. She is so shallow and vain but since James seems to like her, I keep my mouth shut. Today I woke up to a pillow in the face and a giggling Sirius.
"W-what time is it?" I mumbled, half asleep.
"It's time to wake up!" Sirius snapped back.
I slowly got out of bed and noticed we were one Marauder missing.
"Where's James?" I asked.
"Where do you think?" he sniggered.
Of course: Veronica
Peter was still asleep so Sirius pounced on his bed making him wide awake in an instant. I laughed at Peter's face: so funny. Peter seems to be doing better, he's more talkative, more or less back to his old self. After I'd finished laughing I got up to get ready for the day. I started brushing my teeth, then I got washed, got changed and did my hair. Since it was a Saturday I didn't dress in uniform, I put on a red jumper with jeans.
"James said he'd meet us at breakfast" Sirius passed on as he finished combing his hair.
"Ok" I shrugged.
"I've got a date" Peter revealed.
A date!? Peter's got a date?
Me and Sirius spun around to look at him in shock. Peter was just stood there with a smug grin that I'm sure he copied off James.
"You've got a date!" Sirius repeated in disbelief.
"Yeah" Peter nodded.
"With who?" I chuckled.
"With Erin Fletcher" he stated proudly.
I tried to think who that was for a few seconds. Then I remembered, she's a fat Hufflepuff that's a year below us.
"What that fat Hufflepuff second year?" Sirius scoffed.
"She's not fat, she's just big boned!" Peter protested.
Me and Sirius began laughing our heads off.
"Sure mate" I winked sarcastically.
"At least I've got a date" Peter whipped back.
"We may not be dating anyone right now but we've both had girlfriends haven't we Remus?" Sirius turned to me.
"We have indeed" I said, backing him up.
"And none of our girlfriends were fat" Sirius pointed out, cheekily.
"Leave off, she said that she's fancied me for ages" Peter boasted.
"Of course she has Romeo" Sirius smirked, "Let's go to breakfast"
When we went down James and Veronica were already there. They were sat the way couples do, close together. When we sat down I made myself some toast.
"Hey guys" James greeted, then his eyes fell on Peter, "Have you combed your hair?"
I turned to Peter and chuckled, he had as well!
"He's got a date" Sirius teased.
"Who with?" Veronica asked.
"With that fat second year Hufflepuff, Erin" I told him.
James and Veronica both giggled together, like one. Peter laughed along, he knows we're only mucking about. After breakfast we left the hall and made our way into the courtyard. Professor McGonagall was there with her list, checking it twice. The walk wasn't too bad, the secret passage takes longer then the legal way. When we finally arrived in the village a lot of people gasped in wonderful surprise. I on the other hand have been here many times to transform so I was a little less welcoming. We went straight to the three broomsticks first which I've never been too. I like it, it's really warm and welcoming. We sat on a table for four and ordered some Butterbeer.
"I like this place" James commented drily.
"Yeah" I nodded, then I turned to Peter, "What time does your date get here?"
"Should be in about five minutes" Peter could barely contain his excitement.
"Remember don't do anything I wouldn't do" Sirius joked.
At that moment Peter's Juliet came through the door. She had dirty blond hair, chubby with piggy eyes. I know it's sounds like I'm being really shallow myself which is wrong. She may be a lovely girl, looks don't really matter, I'll try and be less mean in the future I told myself. A few minutes later, James and Veronica started giggling to each other.
"We've gotta go, we'll see you later" James laughed as he and Veronica left the pub.
"I think we've just been ditched" I observed to Sirius.
"I believe we have" Sirius shrugged.
"Who do you think out of all of us would get married first?" I asked.
Sirius took a quick swig of his Butterbeer before he answered my question.
"James" Sirius said seriously.
"Why?" I wondered.
"I don't consider myself the marrying type, what about you?" Sirius shrugged.
"I can't get married" I almost choked on my Butterbeer at the idiocy of his question, "Who would want to marry a werewolf!"
Sirius sighed deeply before he replied.
"Who would want to be friends with a werewolf? Oh wait: me! You'll find someone who won't care" Sirius predicted.
I don't see that happening!
"Alright how about something more basic: who would you sleep with Lily or her friend Maria?" Sirius mused.
That was a hard one! They're both really hot...
"Lily" I answered, then I giggled "but don't tell James"
"Why Lily?" Sirius inquired.
"Maria seems a bit fake" I answered honestly.
"I'm not asking you the marriage question!" Sirius laughed.
"Alright how about this: who would you marry, sleep with or reject. Out of Lily, Maria and Joan?" I put to him.
"Ohh that's a tough one" he pretended to think, "I would have to say I'd marry Joan because she's the homey type, the type of girl you settle down with. Next, I would sleep with Maria because she's hot. Lastly, I'd reject Lily"
"Why?" I asked, confused.
"Because she's up herself, that's why" Sirius snorted like it was obvious.
When we'd finished we decided to look around for the joke shop which we found in a few minutes. It's called 'Zonkos' the store was pretty cool me and Sirius bought a few things and left. Next we went to Honeydukes, I swear I almost drooled!
"Are you gonna buys those?" I asked Sirius, amused.
Sirius bought loads of stuff! I just bought some chocolate frogs and gum balls. Sirius was eyeing up gum that was also a dinner when you chewed it.
"Yeah, why not?" he said while he added it to the ever heavier basket.
When we'd bought our items we were tired so we walked back to the school.
"How do you think Peter got on?" I smiled.
"Who knows?" he shrugged, "I hope he scored"
"Me too" I agreed.
Suddenly I noticed Snape walking with his (as James' likes to call them) 'death eater crowd'. Mulciber was there, a boy in our year who's a Slytherin. Lily and her friends were walking a few steps behind them. Mary is one of Lily's friends, she dropped the shopping bags and the contents spilled on the floor. Mulciber pulled out his wand and made the items float in the air and chase her. Mary was screaming and the death eater crowd was laughing, even Snape! Lily looked outraged, she actually hit Mulciber! So when his concentration was distracted the items dropped to the floor. Mary began crying and started running away from the scene followed by Lily and the rest of her friends.
"You think your funny do you!" Sirius yelled at them.
They were still laughing, disgusting little gits!
"Very!" Mulciber laughed evilly, "You got a problem with that?"
"Yes we do!" I suddenly joined the fray.
"Well as far as I can see, we're four and your two Marauders down" Mulciber smirked.
"It's skill not numbers that win a battle" Sirius retorted.
"Shall we put that theory to the test?" Mulciber snarled.
Sirius and me got our wands out, ready to take them on. It was me and Sirius against Mulciber,Avery, Snape and Yaxley. Truth be told I wasn't feeling very confident.
"Ooo!" Mulciber teased like a girl.
They all brought their wands out ready to attack us.
"What's going on here?" Sprout called from behind us.
"Nothing" Mulciber lied, slipping his wand back into his robes, "We were just leaving"
All the Slytherin's looked disappointed but they left anyway. I was feeling a little relieved, the teacher left us alone and walked away.
"Aww! I wanted to fight them" Sirius pouted.
The rest of the day was O.K we met up back with James, Veronica and Peter. After dinner we were sitting by the common room fire on the big chairs.
"So how did your date go?" I asked Peter.
"Great" Peter smiled, "She wants to see me again"
"Really?" Veronica said in a rude tone.
"Yes" Peter boasted.
"Well good for Peter" James grinned.
I agree as long as Peter's happy, that's all that matter's.
I'll write tomorrow
