Alrighty, everyone! I'm going to write a chapter and post it **all in the
same night** for once! Wow. That's why some of notes at the beginnings and
endings of the chapters reflect different moods. I didn't write them on the
same day! lol. Anywayz, on with the story! ((Happy New Year, everyone!!!))
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
After Herbology in the greenhouses, which everyone hated except for Peter, they went back up to the school for lunch. As soon as they'd walked through the door of the Great Hall, they were encountered by the other first-year Slytherins. **Oh, here it comes..** Sirius thought.
"Sirius! I wonder what your parents will think when they find out you've befriended the Potter's son and a Muggle-born..? Or do they not know?" Bellatrix immediately asked him.
"I honestly don't care, dear cousin. Now, if you'll excuse us, there's some food calling our name right over there," Sirius responded.
Bellatrix then shoved her cousin into the near-by wall, holding him there. "Are you **trying** to ruin our family's name, Sirius? I honestly thought you were better than that, though noone else did. I guess they were right all along." She let him go and stormed off.
"What was **that** all about?" James asked his friend, who looked as if this were to be expected.
"Oh, that's just my cousin. Never liked her much, but we got along pretty well. Now of course noone in my family, except probably Andromeda, will want to have anything to do with me, for obvious reasons. Let's go get some food."
"Alright, then." James said, and left it at that.
"Oh, yeah, Remus, wanted help with that Potions thing, right?" Sirius said, subtly changing the subject. When his friend didn't respond right away, he turned to look at him. He looked rather pale. "You okay? Earth to Remus."
"What? Oh, yeah, right, the essay.." he said, his mind obviously somewhere else. "Let's eat first."
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
After classes, Remus sadly said good-bye to his friends. "I probably won't be home until morning," he told them. "Thanks a lot of for helping with that essay, Sirius."
"No problem," Sirius replied with a grin.
After a few minutes more of light-hearted conversation, the four friends went their separate ways, Sirius and James going to the Quidditch pitch to practice for try-outs, Peter going to the Common Room to finish homework, and Remus went upstairs. **Hope his mom's okay** Sirius thought to himself, before getting too focused on flying to think about it.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
The next morning, Remus wasn't at breakfast, but showed up in the middle of Potions class. "Nice of you to join us, Mr. Lupin," Professor Pierce said. "Now, we've switched partners since last lesson. Why don't you partner with Miss Park? She was the 'left over' since there was an odd number of students in your absence."
So, for the remainder of the period, Remus worked on the Cheering Concoction with Victoria, who was already quite cheery to begin with. **She's kinda pretty" Remus thought to himself. **Whoa. I've never thought anything like that before...** Shrugging it, off, he went back to work.
Immediately after the bell rang, Remus was bombarded with questions from his new friends.
"How was your mom?"
"Was it boring?"
"Did you like being home for a while?"
"Did you miss us?"
"By the way, you look awful. Did you not sleep all night or something?"
He tried to answer all of the questions while on the way to lunch. "My mom's fine now, thanks, it was boring, I didn't really care about being at home as I only left it last week, yes, I missed you, and I **did** sleep, I'm just tired."
"Wow, you remembered all those questions?" James said with a laugh. "Very nice."
"Thank you," Remus said proudly.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
The next two weeks passed by similarly and James and Sirius woke up on Wednesday morning positively euphoric, their excitedness waking up the rest of the dormitory.
"What are you so happy about?" Remus inquired. He wasn't accustomed to being waken up by sounds of happiness - it was usually groans like, "It's not time to get up already, is it?" and "Just five more minutes."
James looked offended. "Have you forgotten what day it is??" he asked.
"Um. yes?" Peter replied from the other bed.
"Tut, tut, my friends. Today is the day of the Quidditch try-outs!" Sirius told them, as if it were the best thing in the world.
"Oh." Remus said, smiling at his blissful friends. "However, have you two forgotten about the classes we have today?"
"Of course not, my dear comrade. Flying today!" he told him. Then, in an annoyed, quiet voice, "And Herbology, and History of Magic." Getting into an optimistic mood again, "But **that's okay!!!**" Laughing they went down to breakfast.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
"Alright, class. If you're going to try out for the Quidditch team this afternoon, you may go off on your own to practice. There are practice balls in the broom shed."
"See you guys later!" James and Sirius said as they flew off toward the broom shed. Sirius had decided he'd try out for Seeker and practiced with one of the old Snitch's, which was rather slow and easy to find. After catching it easily ten times, he decided he'd be a practice Keeper for James until class was over, who got the practice Quaffle past him too many times to count.
"Not bad, my friend," he told James as they started to walk inside after the bell trying to catch up to Remus and Peter.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
They dragged themselves through the rest of their classes for the day, James and Sirius utterly impatient, constantly glancing at the clock. Finally, it was time for tryouts. Grinning broadly, the two Quidditch- lovers left Remus and Peter in the library, heading towards the Quidditch field.
