Pranks and Wands-Part 3: And What About You, Peter?
Christmas vacation ended and James, Sirius and Peter came back. It finally snowed, but since school was back we couldn't enjoy it. Instead of going outside and having the time of our life, we spent most of our time in the library-studing. James and Sirius were the best students of the year, and Lily and Remus were quite good, too. Peter often needed help and I didn't take any tests yet, so there was no way of knowing where would I fit.
"Peter, are you listening?" asked Lily. The answer seemed to be obvious; Peter was staring at her with a dazed look. "Peter!" Lily shook Peter.
"What?" Peter didn't seem to notice the four pairs of eyes that were watching him.
Remus sighed. "He's daydreaming again," He said.
"About that fourth year, what's her name?" Teased Sirius.
"Cathrin Chang, I think." Said James. Peter went red.
"No! I don't like her at all!"
Yeah right, Peter. You don't like her at all.
"Back to the subject. Arithmancy was created in the fifth century by wizards from China..." Lily read in a tone which clearly said that 'This was boring'. "Oh, what's the use of it? Arithmancy is a whole lot of numbers, Divination is to predict the future, Care of Magical Creatures is exectley the way it's called, Muggle Studies is learning about Muggles, and Ancient Runes is this language!" Lily slamed her book.
"I think I'll go with Divination and Ancient Runes," I said. We had to pick two new subjects for next year.
"So I will, too. I don't really care which ones I go to, as long as I know someone there." Said Lily.
"I'll go with Divination and Magical Creatures." Said James, Remus and Sirius together.
"And what about you, Peter?" Asked Remus.
A large snore indicated that he didn't care.

We took our exems in late May and we all passed, even Peter. I got top marks, along with James, Sirius, Remus and Lily. But then, as a result, I also got black circles below my eyes which refused to clean off. Ravenclaw won the house cup, but Gryffindor won the Quidditch cup. Soon the trunks were packed and Lily was complaining about having to see Petunia in the summer and Remus was yet again absent. We departed at the train station with a promise to visit each other this summer.
"Hello, honey." Said Mum and hugged me. "How was your year?" As if she didn't know. My first year at Hogwarts was the best year of my life.

A.N. I know this part is shorter. Sorry about the mixup with the name, I accidently called the second part 'Wands and Pranks' instead of 'Pranks and Wands'...Please R/R!
