JAMES POINT OF VIEW By: rickann THE TRUTH ABOUT REMUS
FIRST YEAR-CHAPTER THREE: FRIENDS COME W/ ENAMIES
That night all the first years went strait to sleep. The next morning Sirius saying that the shower was free and that it was time to get up awaked me. I went into the bathroom and toke a shower then we all went down to the common room to wait for the girls. We had been siting there for a 1/2-hour in silence when Remus spoke up. "How long does it take to get ready in the morning for girls?" he asked in an inpatient voice.
Sirius and me held back are laughter. We both knew perfectly well that Lily and Heather always toke forever in the morning.
"Trust me on this Remus..." I said. "Those girls will be a while. At least Heather & Lily will be. And you don't want to get them in a bad mood in the morning; seeing how neither of them are a morning person."
"Yeah is that true. James and me here once credited Lily and Heather for taking an hour and a half in the morning..." Sirius said remembering the time we had to wait for the girls one morning. "Lets just say we never ever said another word about how long it takes them to get ready!"
"Why what happen. Did they slap you or something?"
"Yes, and they kicked, bit, and hit us. Lets just say that in the morning those two have allot of strength and you don't won't t..."
"Why thank you James for the complement." Lily said. The girls had came down from their dorm and none of us had noticed them standing behind us. "But we didn't hurt you too bad. I mean you both only got a black eye."
hundreds of other bruises every where else." Sirius said in a matter of faculty voice. "And James got a broken leg, 3 stitches above his right eye and hundreds of bruises too. We both ended up at the hospital."
"Yeah and you guys never said anything again did you. Any way it's not are fault you fall down the stairs" Heather said w/ a satisfied smile. "Come on lets go I'm starving." W/ that the girls walked out of the common room w/ the rest of us was following them. Remus and me brought up the rear.
"Did that really happen or did you just make it up?" Remus asked in a worried voice.
"Heck yeah! Do you think I would make that up? I mean its not like were proud that two girls beat the crape out of us. We only told you so that you wouldn't make the same mastic. I'd hate to see what Heather & Lily could do too you w/ the help of Janine, Rickie and Nicole. I really doubt you would come out a live."
"Yeah, I see what you mean."
"Hey, do any of you boys know the way to the great hall? I fell asleep on the way and none of the other girls can remember."
"I do, it's this way." Peter said and we made it down to the greet hall only getting lost once. We got there just in time to see the owls come in and delivered the mail. I got a letter from my dad; it said:
Dear James, Did you and Sirius ever open up your stuff? If you haven't do it soon! I hope you have a great term and I'll see you at Christmas. Don't get into to much trouble. Love you tones, Dad
P.S. Those two items had been passed down through 20 generations. Ever sense the first Black and Potter became best friends and had there first born sons at the same time. Ever sense then every Black and Potter has passed this down to their sons on there first day of Hog. Enjoy them.
P.S.S. don't tell your mother about this she would kill me.
When I Finnish my letter I looked up to see Sirius had gotten one just like me. We had both forgotten all about it when we saw Lily and Heather on the train. At that moment Pro. M. gave me my schedule and I focused on that for the time being. Today we had:
9 o'clock: double potion w/ Slytherin 11 o'clock: transfiguration w/ Ravenclaw 1 o'clock: herbology w/ Huffulpuff 2 o'clock: got an hour break 3 o'clock: History of Magic
Me and Sirius hurried to Finnish are breakfast then went up to our dorm alone. "I can't believe we forgot about that stuff." I said as we open the door to our dorm. Sirius and me went and got the parcels are dads had given us the sat on my bed. I open mine first and out came a silver cloak that felt like water. Sirius gaped at where the cloak laid on my lap. I looked down to see nothing but my bed.
"YOU GOT AN INVISIBILITY CLOAK!" Sirius said in an instance voice. "YOU ARE SOOO LUCKY!"
"Yeah. What did you get?" I asked. Sirius ripped open the evolve and there was a letter:
LIST OF SECRET PASSAGES
(THEN THERE WAS A LIST OF OVER 200 PASSAGEWAYS AND STUFE LIKE THAT.)
Don't forget to add on to this list if you ever find anything? And try not to get into to much trouble. Rich Lee Black Sept. 1st 1507
"WOW do you realize what we can do w/ my Invisibility cloak and your is..."
"Hey guys what are you doing up here?" Remus interrupted me. He and the other 2 boys had come up to get their books for the potions. I quickly hid the cloak and letter under my pillows.
"Just getting are bags. Are you ready for Potions?" I lied and we made are way to the dudgeons w/ the girls and Peter. Every one was still waiting outside when we came into view. "Dang it we have Potions w/ the Slytherin gits." I said when I saw who we were sharing the class w/.
"Well if it isn't the mudblood and her muggle loving friends." a cold voice said behind us. We all turn around at the same time to see Malfoy had grabbed Lily's wrist and wouldn't let her go.
"Take that back Malfoy, or I'll..." I started to say but was cut off by Malfoy.
"Or you'll do what Potter; hit me. OOOWWW, I'm sooo scared. Like you or your mudblood friend could do anything..." but at those last words I lounged at Malfoy and knocking him over. Luckily he had let go off Lily's arm, which was really confused; she didn't know what a mudblood was. I started to hit Malfoy ever were that was possible. When Snape, Crabbe, and Goyle saw there friend getting bet up they joined the fight at the same time Sirius, Remus, and a very scared Peter. The fight went on for about 5 more min. tell the girls brook us up, just in time for the teacher was coming down the hall.
"Hello my name is Pro. Kenzie Jackson." Very pretty young women said. She looked allot like Heather.
Then it strokes me. I turn to Heather and asked "Is she your aunt?" Heather shook her head yes and her aunt who had heard me turn her attune to my friends and me. All of us had at least on black eye or bloody lip. Malfoy and his friends came off allot worse though. They all had a black eye; Snape had two, a bloody lip and nose. All together we looked like we had been in a fight.
"What happen to you eight?" Pro. Jackson asked in a worried voice. All at once me and Malfoy started to explain at the same time. "Hold it. Lets see Heather can you tall me what happen here?"
"Yes, you see Malfoy here had grabbed Lily's wrist and started to call her a 'mudblood'." Heather said pointing out the people as she said their name. "James got mad and told him to shut it but Malfoy called her it again and James kind of got made and punched Malfoy. Then those three started to beat him up so then naturally Remus, Sirius and Peter started to help out their friend..."
"Thank you Heather that's enough. 20 points we'll be taken from Griffindors & Slytherin for fighting. AN extra 5 will be taken from Malfoy from insulting a classmate. Where as five points well be given to James, because he stuck up for his friend and acted like a true Gryffindor. W/ that all said. 'Cleanalupa'." Pro. Jackson said and all 8 of us were cleaned up. She opens the door and we all walked inn. As Malfoy past me he whispered only me to here "I'll get you for this Potter, and your little mudblood friend." Then he walked by and sat next to Golye. (After that we were always enemies.)
I sat down at the same table as Lily and she asked me "What's a mudblood?"
"It's a bad word that means muggle born and."
"Miss Evans Mr. Potter we'll you please pay attune!" pro. Said. "Now as I was saying we will be learning how to brow up a simple Position to cure boils..." After she was done explaining we made the potion w/ no mistakes. After that class we made are way to Transfiguration and sat waiting for Pro. M. came. When the bell rang she walked in and started to talk. She had a way to make you stay quiet w/out trying.
"Tran. is the hardest class you will take at Hog. If I catch you fooling of you will leave and not come back got it." Every one nodded their head and we started to take notes. After notes we were given a match turn into a needle. Lily, Sirius and me were the only ones who had made a different to our match. P.M. held up Lily's match and showed the class who it was now silver and kind of pointy. "See class this is a good start. 5 points will be given to Miss. Evans, Mr. Black and Potter for the well done job." She gave us three a rare smile then said "Your homework is to turn a match into a needle. On Thursday I'll be testing you on it. Those that can do it will have no homework. Those that can't will write a 15-inch essay on the process of it. You're dismissed." We all got up and made are way to lunch.
"Boy you three are lucky. I'll probably end up doing the essay." Peter wined
"Same here" All the girls said except Lily.
"I don't know. Lily do you want to help me w/ the spell once you got it down?" Ryan asked w/ a smile.
"I'd love too help you Ryan, maybe we can work on it together tonight." Lily answered w/ one of her smile she only use is when she is flirting.
"O'Brother" Sirius Heather and me said at the same time.
"What?" Lily asked confused.
Heather decides to pull her away from Ryan to answer her. "It's just you only smile like that when you are flirting."
"Do not."
"Yes you do. Here smile right now." Lily obeyed and gave a normal smile. "See its diff. from the one you gave Ryan."
"Ok I get your point. Just make sure that no one else knows. I don't want every one to know when I'm flirting; it's bad enough that James and Sirius know. I mean what if I ever start to like one of them? Then they know I was flirting w/ them."
"Ok, I got your point. Let's go to lunch I'm starved." When they turn around they saw that I was the only one waiting for them. "Where you listing to us?"
"Maybe."
"You were weren't you?"
"Yeah, I was."
"How much did you hear?"
"Only that you could never flirt w/ me or Sirius cause we know. I didn't know you felt that way about me Lily." I said in a mocking voice. I could see Lily start to go as red as her hair.
"I don't. I meant Sirius not you." she shot back and then walked off towards the great hall. Heather and me made are way after her. When we sat down we saw Lily was flirting w/ Ryan again. I started to open my mouth to say something but Heather caught me.
"Not a single word James; you too Sirius. An less you fell like getting bet up again." I shut my mouth remembering when the girls had bet us up. The rest of the day neither Sirius nor I said a word about Lily.
Later that night after I had finished getting the spell all worked out, it had been are only homework that we had gotten, I sat in a arm chair and watched Lily try and teach Ryan how to do it.
"Ok Ryan lets try it again. Concentrate really hard on the match turning into a needle."
"OK here goes nothing 'macaroon nedliven'" this time the match went sliver but was still a match.
"Good job. You almost have it." Lily said leaning over and giving him a hug. I could see Ryan smile. "Ok lets give it one more try for tonight."
"Macaroon nedliven" Ryan said trying very heard to concentrate on the match instead of Lily. These time it worked perfectly. Lily started to congratulate him.
"Great job Ryan you finally got it."
"Yup, all thanks to you Lily. You're a great teacher." Ryan said then he lended over and kissed her on the check and went up stairs to put his things away.
Lily just sat there stunned that Ryan had just kissed her on the check. I got up and went and sat in Ryan's old chair. "You like him don't you?" Lily jumped. She had not realized that I was there.
"Shut up James."
"Come on Lily I'm one of your best friends. I know when you like some one."
"I don't know wha..."
"Come on Lily it's not like I'm going to tell any one. Just a mete it you like Ryan Householder."
"Ok, yes I like him, Happy!" Lily said going pink.
"Yes quit happy. So we'll you go out w/ him if he asked you?"
"No. I'm only in my first year and mom made me swear I wouldn't date any one tell I'm 13."
"Oh. That's good. I'm not allowed to date tell I'm 13 either."
"So who do you like?"
"Like I'd tell you!"
"Come on I told you."
"Yeah but that was obvious and I'm not stupid enough to tell you."
"Hey that's not very nice. How about this, if I ever ask you if you like someone you have to tell me the truth."
"Ok that's a deal. And also just so you know I don't like any one."
"Yeah right."
"Well goodnight Lily."
"But it's only 9 o'clock. You never go to bed before 10."
" Well I do today." I said giving her a drop it looks. "Hey Ryan. You can have my chair I was just going to bed."
With that I went up stairs and got ready for bed. I lay on my bed for about an hour thinking about all my new friends. First I thought of Ryan. Is he a nice guy? I really don't know allot about him. I know he's a pure blood and lives w/ his dad and two little sister. His mom and dad got a divorce when he was only 5 and sense then he hasn't heard from his mom. He was tall skinny guy w/ muscle. He had blond hair blue eyes and his ears were pierced. To me he looked like a player and I didn't want Lily to get hurt. She was like my sister, and would kill any guy that hurt her or Heather. I was really glad when she told me she couldn't date for two more years. At least bye then she'll know him better.
After thinking about Ryan I thought about how nice of a guy Remus was. He seemed to love to be around his friends, and I could tell he was defiantly not a player. He never did talk about his past. Every time I would ask him about it he would only say a few things then changed the subject to someone else like Peter. Peter was very shy. He never talked unless you directed him personally. Other then that Remus would answer for him.
Then I started to think of the girls. Nicole was a lot like Peter last night at the feast. She was shy and didn't say much. But by lunch she was over must of her shyness and was talking to the girls manly. If Sirius Remus Ryan or I asked her something she would become shy again and only say a few words. Nicole was a pure blood and the oldest in her family. She had a little sister and brother.
Her best friend seemed to be Janine. Janine was not shy at all. She seemed to talk the most when she was nervous, like right before the sorting she wouldn't shut up tell her name was called. After that she didn't talk as much. Her and her sister Rickie were 1/2 and 1/2. There mom was a muggle from America and their dad was a wizard France. There dad moved to England when he was 13 an went to Hog. as well, he also was in Gyrffindor. They had an older brother Josh who was two years older then them. He was in his third year here and was also in Gryffindor. They have an older 1/2 sister Brandy. When their mom lived in America she had another husband named Tom. Apparently Tom was a big jerk so she divorced him and moved here when Brandy was 4. Brandy was nine years older then the twins and was in her first year of collage. She and there mom were the only muggles in the family. Rickie Ann was allot like her sister but didn't talk as fast as Janine.
I heard the door open and Sirius walked in. "So why did you come up here so early James if you weren't tiered?"
"That's none of your business. And any way if I told you Lily, and maybe even Ryan, would kill me. HINT HINT." I said.. Sirius got what I meant.
"So she likes him doesn't she."
"Can't tell you. But I'm pretty sure Ryan likes Lily."
"Really how can you tell. I mean you always seem to know who likes whom. It's like a gift."
"Yeah it might be a gift or maybe I just guessed when I saw him kiss her."
"WHAT? Ryan kissed Lily?"
"Just on the check. You don't have to flip out you know."
"When did he kiss her on the check?"
"After he got that needle spell down he was so happy he just lend over and kissed her. It's know big dea..." I was saying when it hit me. "You like Lily Evans don't you Sirius?"
Sirius went as red as a brick. Maybe I do have a gift to know when someone likes someone else. "No. I was just worried that she might get her fillings hurt."
"Yeah right Sirius. Come on I'm your best friend. No one knows you better then me. Heck not even your mom."
"I do not like her."
"You know I think I do have the gift to know when someone likes someone else. This is the third person to night that I have..."
"Don't let it get to your head and it was only 2 people."
"No I know that you like her. Come on just tell me how long. If you don't I'll tell ever one you like her."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me." I said and got up and started to walk to the door.
"Ok if I tell you who I like then you have to swear not to tell a single soul. Got it."
"Yup now spill."
"Ok I like Lily. You know I hate it when you can tell who I like."
"Yeah Yeah Yeah. Come on lets go to bed. I'm excused after all this talk of who likes who." With that I fell straight to sleep.

"Hey, do any of you boys know the way to the great hall? I fell asleep on the way and none of the other girls can remember."
"I do, it's this way." Peter said and we made it down to the greet hall only getting lost once. We got there just in time to see the owls come in and delivered the mail. I got a letter from my dad; it said:

"Yeah. What did you get?" I asked. Sirius ripped open the evolve and there was a letter:

"WOW do you realize what we can do w/ my Invisibility cloak and your is..."
"Hey guys what are you doing up here?" Remus interrupted me. He and the other 2 boys had come up to get their books for the potions. I quickly hid the cloak and letter under my pillows.
"Just getting are bags. Are you ready for Potions?" I lied and we made are way to the dudgeons w/ the girls and Peter. Every one was still waiting outside when we came into view. "Dang it we have Potions w/ the Slytherin gits." I said when I saw who we were sharing the class w/.
"Well if it isn't the mudblood and her muggle loving friends." a cold voice said behind us. We all turn around at the same time to see Malfoy had grabbed Lily's wrist and wouldn't let her go.

"Do not."
"Yes you do. Here smile right now." Lily obeyed and gave a normal smile. "See its diff. from the one you gave Ryan."

Lily just sat there stunned that Ryan had just kissed her on the check. I got up and went and sat in Ryan's old chair. "You like him don't you?" Lily jumped. She had not realized that I was there.
"Shut up James."
"Come on Lily I'm one of your best friends. I know when you like some one."
"I don't know wha..."
"Come on Lily it's not like I'm going to tell any one. Just a mete it you like Ryan Householder."
"Ok, yes I like him, Happy!" Lily said going pink.
"Yes quit happy. So we'll you go out w/ him if he asked you?"
"No. I'm only in my first year and mom made me swear I wouldn't date any one tell I'm 13."
"Oh. That's good. I'm not allowed to date tell I'm 13 either."
"So who do you like?"
"Like I'd tell you!"
"Come on I told you."
"Yeah but that was obvious and I'm not stupid enough to tell you."
"Hey that's not very nice. How about this, if I ever ask you if you like someone you have to tell me the truth."
"Ok that's a deal. And also just so you know I don't like any one."
"Yeah right."
"Well goodnight Lily."
"But it's only 9 o'clock. You never go to bed before 10."
" Well I do today." I said giving her a drop it looks. "Hey Ryan. You can have my chair I was just going to bed."
With that I went up stairs and got ready for bed. I lay on my bed for about an hour thinking about all my new friends. First I thought of Ryan. Is he a nice guy? I really don't know allot about him. I know he's a pure blood and lives w/ his dad and two little sister. His mom and dad got a divorce when he was only 5 and sense then he hasn't heard from his mom. He was tall skinny guy w/ muscle. He had blond hair blue eyes and his ears were pierced. To me he looked like a player and I didn't want Lily to get hurt. She was like my sister, and would kill any guy that hurt her or Heather. I was really glad when she told me she couldn't date for two more years. At least bye then she'll know him better.
After thinking about Ryan I thought about how nice of a guy Remus was. He seemed to love to be around his friends, and I could tell he was defiantly not a player. He never did talk about his past. Every time I would ask him about it he would only say a few things then changed the subject to someone else like Peter. Peter was very shy. He never talked unless you directed him personally. Other then that Remus would answer for him.
Then I started to think of the girls. Nicole was a lot like Peter last night at the feast. She was shy and didn't say much. But by lunch she was over must of her shyness and was talking to the girls manly. If Sirius Remus Ryan or I asked her something she would become shy again and only say a few words. Nicole was a pure blood and the oldest in her family. She had a little sister and brother.
Her best friend seemed to be Janine. Janine was not shy at all. She seemed to talk the most when she was nervous, like right before the sorting she wouldn't shut up tell her name was called. After that she didn't talk as much. Her and her sister Rickie were 1/2 and 1/2. There mom was a muggle from America and their dad was a wizard France. There dad moved to England when he was 13 an went to Hog. as well, he also was in Gyrffindor. They had an older brother Josh who was two years older then them. He was in his third year here and was also in Gryffindor. They have an older 1/2 sister Brandy. When their mom lived in America she had another husband named Tom. Apparently Tom was a big jerk so she divorced him and moved here when Brandy was 4. Brandy was nine years older then the twins and was in her first year of collage. She and there mom were the only muggles in the family. Rickie Ann was allot like her sister but didn't talk as fast as Janine.
I heard the door open and Sirius walked in. "So why did you come up here so early James if you weren't tiered?"
"That's none of your business. And any way if I told you Lily, and maybe even Ryan, would kill me. HINT HINT." I said.. Sirius got what I meant.
"So she likes him doesn't she."
"Can't tell you. But I'm pretty sure Ryan likes Lily."
"Really how can you tell. I mean you always seem to know who likes whom. It's like a gift."
"Yeah it might be a gift or maybe I just guessed when I saw him kiss her."
"WHAT? Ryan kissed Lily?"
"Just on the check. You don't have to flip out you know."
"When did he kiss her on the check?"
"After he got that needle spell down he was so happy he just lend over and kissed her. It's know big dea..." I was saying when it hit me. "You like Lily Evans don't you Sirius?"
Sirius went as red as a brick. Maybe I do have a gift to know when someone likes someone else. "No. I was just worried that she might get her fillings hurt."
"Yeah right Sirius. Come on I'm your best friend. No one knows you better then me. Heck not even your mom."
"I do not like her."
"You know I think I do have the gift to know when someone likes someone else. This is the third person to night that I have..."
"Don't let it get to your head and it was only 2 people."
"No I know that you like her. Come on just tell me how long. If you don't I'll tell ever one you like her."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me." I said and got up and started to walk to the door.
"Ok if I tell you who I like then you have to swear not to tell a single soul. Got it."
"Yup now spill."
"Ok I like Lily. You know I hate it when you can tell who I like."
"Yeah Yeah Yeah. Come on lets go to bed. I'm excused after all this talk of who likes who." With that I fell straight to sleep.
