Remus' Diary
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Characters
2nd September 1974
It was the first day of lessons today. I had potions first with Slughorn, unfortunatly we're with the Syltherins again for that. The news of Veronica's disappearence was on everyone's lips. People couldn't shut up about it all day. Everyone has different theories, some people say that she was kidnapped or that she was murdered. I even heard a rumour that she is someone else taking Polijuice potion.
"And this leaves you with the Girding Potion which may be consumed to increase one's endurance for a considerable number of weeks" Slughorn rambled on.
Snape was sitting with his Death Eater friends who were whispering to each other. I don't like to think what it was about. Lily and Snape have still fallen out, I noticed he kept looking at Lily all through the lesson.
"Get into pairs and complete the potion by the end of the lesson" Slughorn ordered.
Suddenly Moody entered the room with his blue eyes, narrowed in suspicion. Slughorn looked surprised at his presence. Everyone's eyes were rested on the Aurror, waiting for him to make his move.
"Can I burrow Mr Potter for the rest of the lesson?" Moody asked.
Although it was clear he wasn't asking but demanding.
"Of course" Slughorn said in a worried tone.
James looked at Sirius for support but got up anyway and followed Moody out of the room. As soon as the door was shut the room was filled with the sound of students gossiping. Sirius looked as panicked as I was. What did he want with James?
"What's going on?" Sirius asked in an alarmed tone.
"It's properly just routine questions" I tried to convince myself.
"Good, because James didn't do anything" Sirius said sternly.
"If Moody is a good as everyone says he is then I'm sure we'll have no problems" I said.
Later on at lunch, James came back looking angry. He slammed his bag down and roughly got onto the stool. Me and Sirius shared a confused look.
"So how did it go?" Peter asked stupidly.
James just rolled his eyes and started shoving food into his mouth like he was angry with it.
"Oh it went bloody brilliantly!" James sneered sarcastically.
"He kept going on and on about how I wanted to kill Veronica" James snarled, "He didn't even give me the benefit of the doubt"
"Killing?" I repeated, confused, "I thought she was just missing"
"That's what I thought but apparently this Aurror likes to jump to conclusions" James continued, "He wants to talk to all of you by the way"
What!
"Why?" Sirius asked, "We didn't go out with her"
"But you knew her so his highness want to question you" James answered, chucking down some pumpkin juice.
Apparently I have to meet him tomorrow at one. Sirius is going after lunch and Peter is going in the mourning.
It's like he's saving me for last!
"Don't worry mate, we'll back you up" Sirius patted his back, comfortingly.
"No matter what he says" I added.
"Yeah" Peter put in.
Maria walked past and waved at me affectionately. I've still got to dump her so I gave her an awkward wave back. James gave me the raised eyebrow of judgment.
"Don't you eyebrow me" I shrugged.
"Just dump the poor girl" Sirius advised.
"Hopefully this one won't slap you" James giggled.
Sirius and Peter laughed at my expense and I joined in too.
"Fingers crossed" I chuckled back.
That evening, Maria was working alone in the common room. Sirius had just left to be interrogated, leaving James and Peter doing homework. I saw this as an excellent opportunity to dump her. Ok, don't blurt it out like last time and everything will be fine. I got up and sat in front of her. Bless her, so looked so happy.
"I have something I have to tell you" I began.
"What is it?" she smiled.
"I-um... think we should see other people" I told her.
I prepared myself for the slap but she just looked really hurt. She burst into tears and ran up to the girls common room.
Well if Lily didn't hate me, she certainly will do now that I've just dumped her best friend. James was giving a sarcastic thumbs up.
"Well, that was well done" James chuckled.
"Shut up" I said as I sat next to him on the sofa.
When Sirius came back later on he looked as mad as James had been. He stormed in and sat on one of the big armchairs next to us.
"That man is impossible!" Sirius grumbled, "He kept drilling at me"
"What kind of questions did he ask?" I wanted to know.
"How well I knew her, what was James like with her and 'is James violent?'" Sirius revealed.
"He asked that!" James gasped in horror, "What did you say?"
"No, of course" Sirius said.
I've got to say, I'm not looking forward to mine tomorrow.
3rd September 1974
My interrogation was horrible! When Peter came back from his, he was crying. Which didn't fill me with much confidence. After Potions it was my turn. They all wished me a good luck before I made my way to the trophies room. I knocked once and heard a deep 'enter' so I slowly opened the door. He was sitting behind a desk, looking at me like I was some sort of criminal.
"Take a seat" he said as he motioned to the chair in front.
I sat down on the chair and waited for what he was going to do next.
"How well did you know Miss Bluewater?" he began.
"She was my friend's girlfriend" I shrugged, "That's all"
"How was James with her?" he asked next.
"He treated her well" I answered honestly.
I hope I wasn't sweating!
"And how did that relationship end?"
"Well I was there"
He seemed intrigued by this like a piranha spotting it's lunch.
"Tell me about it" he ordered.
"We were coming back to the dorm room and we spotted Veronica snogging some Ravenclaw" I told him.
"What happened then?" he probed.
"I offered to leave to give them some privacy but then I saw her the next morning" I disappointed him.
"Did James seem angry?"
What a stupid question.
"Of course he was angry" I replied, "His girlfriend had just cheated on him"
He rolled his eyes in impatience and sat down. Moody was quiet and even pensive.
"Has your friend got a violent streak?"
"No!" I answered.
To my surprise Moody just smiled at me.
"With my interview with a boy called Snape..."
Oh no!
"...he said that James has a violent streak"
"I wouldn't listen to him" I defended, "They hate each other"
"Why?" he demanded.
How should I answer this?
"They're just different" I shrugged, "Like chalk and cheese"
Moody didn't look convinced but let me go. I didn't know he was interviewing other people that know James. I can just imagine what Snape told Moody. When I arrived at the common room they were all looking at me expectantly.
"We've got a problem" I began before sat down.
"What?" James asked in a worried tone.
"Moody interviewed Snape" I told him.
James gasped in horror.
"SNAPE!" he yelled.
"He said you were violent" I explained.
Poor James is really in it now. Who knows what else Snape has said?
