JAMES POINT OF VIEW By: rickann THE TRUTH ABOUT REMUS
FIRST YEAR-CHAPTER FOUR: HALLOWEEN
Over the next few months I not only learned more about magic, but I also learned more about my friends. For instance:
Remus: Was a lot like Sirius and me. He loved to play pranks. So after long consideration we decide to tell him about the list and cloak. Within those two months we had played at least on prank some Gryffindor, even on each other, and almost all the Slytherin. We had even played some on Ravenclaw, Huffulpuff, and even the Teachers. The only thing that seemed wired was that once a month his mom would get sick and he would leave before dinner and come back early the next morning looking as if he hadn't slept in moths.
Ryan: Was a nice an enough guy. He seemed to spend ever sec. he could with Lily. He told me that he had asked her out at the beginning of Oct., but she had said no. He also talked allot about his little sister Heather who would be coming to Hog. next year. There was nothing at all wrong w/ him but Sirius seemed to not like him all that much. I think he just jealous.
Peter: Was no longer shy around the girls or us. He was never out of the site of me or one of the guys. He was also the worst at magic then the rest of us. The only class he did well in was Herbology; he seemed to know allot about plants. He never really talked about his parents that much.
Janine and Rickie: They were nothing a like. Janine was more of the daring one that loved to pull pranks on other people. Where as Rickie was quiet an always afraid she was going to break a rule. Her and Peter were alike in that aria. The only time Janine was like her sister was during class when we were spossed to be quiet. They always seemed to be in some stupid fight w/ their Brother Josh. Other then that they never yelled or got made at any one. Only once did they slap Malfoy when he tried to hit on them.
Nicole: Was a lot like Rickie. She was very quiet and didn't like to break the rules. Though she did break them sometimes. Nicole was also one of the smartest when it came to potion. It was really funny to watch Pro. Jackson say how well she was doing, while the Slytherin always put something into it to make it go wrong. But it was no use she always fixed it.
Lily, Heather & Sirius: Was pretty much the same as always. Lily was the smartest so far of are year. I was right behind her then there was Sirius in third. Sirius was kind of different when he was around Lily and Ryan. He always tried to look better then Ryan. Lily was really getting sick of Sirius and his new attitude. She had no idea that he liked her and Sirius made sure I didn't tell her. Heather who was always the smartest in our old school no longer was. She was having the hardest time in Tran. and did the best in Charms.
Soon it was Halloween night. A pillow that hit me on the head heard awaked me. "Wha the heck throw that?" I asked in a drogue voice. I rolled over to find it was only 4 in the morning. Then an another one hit me. I sat up fast and saw Peeves the portalgius was zooming back wards out of the room w/ a grin on his face and slamming the door behind him.
This of curse wok up Sirius and Remus. "Wha was tha?"
"It was Peeves."
"OOOOOOOk, sense were up why don't we play a prank on the girls?" Sirius said. It never toke him long to wake up.
"Sounds good. What you have in mind?"
"Theirs this curse I made up on accident. It makes you transparent like a ghost for 5 hours." Remus said in an innocent voice.
"Yeah right. Just an accident right?"
"Ok it wasn't. But all you have to do is say 'goasaperson' and voila." Remus said doing the charm on Peter.
"Cool let me try it on Ryan." Sirius said w/ an evil smile. "Goasaperson" With that Ryan looked like a ghost too. We grabbed my cloak and went through the elf passage to the girl's dorm. After putting the charm on them we moved on and put it on every one in the Gryffindor.
"We better put it on us as well so we don't look like the cooperates."
"Your right James. I'll do you. You can do it to Remus and I'll do it Remus."
"Ok then on the count of three. One Two Three..."
"GOASAPERSON" we all said at the same time. Then we went up stairs and tock a shower and got ready. By the time I got out of the shower we could here all the girls start to scream. Then all of a sodden more all the boys had ran into are rooms looking madder then ever. "What it wasn't us." I said in what would be an innocent voice.
"Yeah right." The Head Boy said.
"If we did it would we put it on are sleeves too?"
"Yes. We know you two are responsible for this and all the other pranks that had been pulled this year." The head boy said again. Bye this time the whole house was in are room or the staircases listing.
"You have no proof."
"Maybe not but nothing like this has happen before this year."
"How do you know it wasn't any of the other first years or older students?" Sirius question. In my opine he was being very brave. He had no Idea if the whole house might start to curse us at any moment.
"Because the first years have only had a couple of pranks puled on them selves except for the girls. And Peter is too big of a baby to break a rule. As you can see I have thought about this a lot."
"You still never said why it can't be Remus or Ryan." I said getting my voice back.
"Because my dad told me that when ever there is a Black or Potter at school to expect a lot of pranks seeing how there family are known for them at Hog."
"OH. Sorry about that guys." Sirius said with one of his famous smiles. It worked on every one of the girls that saw it, except for Lily and Heather.
"It's ok but how long does this spell last?" a third year girl said.
"5 hours so it will be another three and half to four and a half hours." Remus said w/ out thinking.
"You helped them?" Lily asked in shuck. She had stopped laughing now along w/ the rest of the Gryffindors.
"Well yeah, I'm the one that invented the spell." Remus said in a quiet it voices. After every one left we made a mad dash to the great hall for breakfast. We were the first ones in there. By time the rest of the Gryffindors made there way in the hall was felling up w/ many people.
Half way through breakfast Doumblerdor stood up and the hall became instantly quiet. "Well it looks like the Whole house of Gryffindors have became ghost. May I ask who did this? Mr. Chang do you know?"
"Yes sir it was Mr. Potter, Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin sir." The headboy said very quietly. He didn't like to rate out them out but it was impossible to lie to Pro. Doumb.
"Mr. Potter, Black and Lupin Pro. Flitwick has something to tell you."
"Provo young ones. May I ask were you found that charm?"
"I made it up Pro."
"Yes I should of known. No one has made up such a good charm sense your mother was here. There for I'm awarding you 20 points for such a good charm. If you'll teach me of curse." Remus nods his head yes and we head to finished are breakfast then went to Charms seeing how it was Tuesday.
During class that day Remus thought are class the charm. Pro. Flitwick then asked us to teach the rest of his classes today and we agreed. After the last class we went up to the common room to do the homework we had missed.
I was half way through with my DADA homework when Ryan asked to talk to me. He came over and sat down across from me and was looking to make sure no one was in earshot. "Hey Ryan what's up?"
"Not much." He said. He looked as if he was trying to find the right way to say something. "James can I ask you something?"
"Sure shot."
"Will its about Lily. Your one of her best friends aren't you?"
"Yeah. Me, Sirius, Heather and Lily have been friend's sense... well for ever. Lily lives next door and Sirius and Heather live in are naborhood."
"So you know Lily really well then?"
"Yeah. Come on Ryan what are you trying to say. Just spit it out."
"Do you know who Lily likes? I mean you know every thing and I like her. And Sirius told me that you could always tell who someone likes."
"Yes I know who Lily likes, and I don't always..."]
"Really who does she like?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because as you probably know I asked Lily out at the beginning of this month an."
"And you wanted to know if she said No because she liked someone else? Am I right?"
"Yeah so who does she like? And how'd you know she said no?"
"I'm her best friend remember; I also asked her what she said when you told me you asked her out. And I'm sorry but I can't tell you who she likes. She trusted me. You see Lily doesn't trust people very easily. Heck it tock me about 5 years to gain her trust and I wont ruined it."
"Ok I see what you mean."
"You do know that she can't date tell she's 13 right." I said trying to give Ryan a hint.
"Really. Maybe that's why she said no."
"You think come on its time for the feast and every one is waiting for us." I said seeing Lily waving us over. We got up and lefts for the great hall in are little group of first years. Except for Remus, he had said that his aunt was really sick and he most goes visit her at once.
The great hall looked amazing w/ all it's dictations. We sat down in are usual sets and Lily asked me "So what were you and Ryan talking about? It looked privet."
"You."
"What do you mean me?"
"He wanted to know who you liked and if it's why you said no to him."
"And what did you say?" Lily asked getting a little mad.
"That I cant tell him and you couldn't date tell you're 13."
"Thanks James you're a real friend." Lily said with a smile then she gave me a hug. Out of the coiner of my eye I could see Ryan and Sirius give me an evil glare. I just gave them a smile and started to eat my dinner. After that we ate and talked about ever thing tell 11 o'clock. Then we decide to go to bed. I was a sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
