JAMES POINT OF VIEW By: rickann THE TRUTH ABOUT REMUS
YEAR ONE-CHAPTER SEVEN CHRISTMAS BREAK
The next day Lily awaked me. She had thrown a bucket full of snow on me. "AAAAWWW!!! What the heck are you doing in my room?" I said, will trying to cover my body up w/ my blankets.
"Calm down James. I just came to tell you that every one is at my house having a snowball fight. And it's not like I haven't seen you in your boxers before."
"What do you spy on me or something? And why didn't Sirius come and wake me up?"
"Remember last summer when me and Heather booby trapped your room. Well you or Sirius didn't sleep with covers. Also we used to take baths together when we're little, though I can't remember anything. Thank Lord." She said with an innocent smile. "And the reason Sirius didn't get you up is that Heather had to go wake him up." "Oh, why didn't one of the guys get me up then if every ones at your house? And you have to promised me you'll never do this again."
"Nope I can't make you that promised. And the reason I came is I'm the only one that knows where your room is. You see I didn't want to wake any one so I came in through your window. Now get dressed." Lily said as she climbed out my window and down the ivy thick wall. I watched her claim down then I hurried and got ready. On my way out I grabbed a pop tart and left my mom a note telling her were I was. As soon as I stepped in Lily's back ward every one started to hit me with snowballs. Soon we were on two different teams and were making forts. We had agreed the war would start at 10 am. It was boys against girls; so we started to build are forts. And ten on the dot the girls started to hit us with as many snow balls as possible. Even though we weren't supposed to us magic, the girls had jinks the snowballs so that they would follow you around tell they hit a boy.
After about two hours of this Lily's older sister came outside. Her name was Petunia; she was an ok looking 14 year old who had long brown hair and ice blue eyes. She was tall and skinny and had a long neck, which she used to spy on nabors with, ex-spatially the kid in back of her yard. Her face was also starting to resemble a hoarse, other then her face she was really pretty. Lily and me looked at each other then started to thorough the snowballs at her. Sirius and Heather knowing Patunia for the prat she was joined in the fun. The rest of the gain just laughed as she ran inside yelling "I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS YOU FREAKS!!!"
When she was safely inside my mom stood up from behind the girl's fort and started to tell me off. But it was no use in the end she fell over laughing. "Mom when the heck did you get here?"
"Really James didn't you wonder who bewitched the balls. I've been here sense 9 helping the girls out."
"What it was you that was bewitching the snow. My on mother is against me." I said the last part to my self. At this every one started to laugh; then my mom said she had to leave and get ready for the party. "Bye James I have to go get ready for tonight. You be nice to Patunia and make sure your home by four ok." She said and gave me a hug and kiss.
"Ok mom." I said turning red. As soon as she was out of ear shot Lily and Sirius started to replay the scene as they saw it.
"Jaime you be careful and don't you be mean to any one. Now I want you to be home at four and not a sec. later. You know how much I worry about you." Lily said in a high pitch worried voice, that sound nothing like my mom. Then she gave Sirius a hug and started to pinch his checks.
"Don't worry about me mummy I'll be home by 3:55. I love you to mummy." He said and started to fake cry when Lily walked away. "Mummy don't leaaaa...." But He shut up when I hit him hard in the head with a snowball.
With that we started another snow ball fight. Finely at one in the afternoons Mrs. Evan called us in for lunch and hot cider and coca. After we ate we decide to go into the t.v. room and watch a movie. "So what movie do you guy's want to watch?"
"What's a movie?" Ryan, Nicole, and Remus asked in puzzlement. Sense they grow up in the wizard world they didn't know about stuff like this.
"Only the greatest muggle invention. It's still pretty new to be able to watch them at your house. And Lily why don't we watch a Christmas one. What do you have?" I said.
"Let's see I have The Grinch that stole Christmas. It's a cartoon but I like it. All in favor say 'I'."
"I" we all shouted at the same time. For the rest of the time we watched movies and some dumb t.v. Show that we didn't really watch. At 4 o'clock all the boys went over to Sirius house, except me; I had to go help with the party dictations and stuff, And the girls stayed at Lily's to get ready for tonight. We all agreed to meet at my house at six.
"James your friends are here." My dad yelled up the stairs. I was once again doing my hair. But this time I had given up on making it lie flat and was putting gel in it to make it look messier then usual. I looked at my clock to see that they were early; it was only 5:50. I herded and got dress in my nicest pair of pants that were kind of to big for me so I had to find my belt that was under my bed. Then I put on a black muscle shirt an a bottom up blue shirt, that brought out my eyes according to my mom, but I left it unbutton. Then I had to find my shoes; one was under the bed the other was in my bathroom.
Bye time I got down stairs it was 6:05. I went strait to the dinning room and on my way there I bumped into Lily, who was coming out of the t.v. room with the other girls. At first I didn't recognize her. She was wearing tight blue jeans that flared out at the bottom, A green turtle neck sweater that fit her perfect and a black jacket/sweater that went to her knees. She also had on make-up and had her hair pulled up in an elegant bun with lose curls that framed her face. She also looked taller; then I realized that she was wearing black boats that made her 3' taller. She didn't look like the Lily I know at all, she was well beautiful.
"Sorry um..."It tock me a sec. to figure out who she was. "Sorry Lil I didn't recognize you for a sec. You look great Lilz." I felt really stupid not recognizing the person I've none sense I was born. Lily and me always lived next to each other and are moms were best friends; so we've friends sense the day we came home from the hospital. Did I mention we were born on the same day?
"See I told you guys you over did it with the make over. My best friend doesn't even recognize me." Lily said it with a told you so smile. Then she turn to me and gave her friendly smile and said "You look great yourself James. But I bet you didn't need help from 4 other girls."
"Nope just one."
"Who?" Lily said with a confused look.
"My mom. Hello do you acutely think I pick out my on clothes." I said and all the girls started to laugh. At that moment the guys had arrived and came up to us.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Lets go I'm starved and it should be time to eat." I said and started to walk off.
But before I could take another step Remus shouted. "STOP! James and look up." He said pointing up above me; there was a clove of mistletoe hanging above me.
"So what about it?"
"You are really clueless aren't you James? You and Lily are standing under the mistletoe." Remus said. When I still didn't get it he continued "That means that you have to kiss. Dingbat."
"No, Remus I don't think that's a good idea." I said trying to give him a hint that I didn't want Sirius or Ryan mad at me. Even If he did get it he didn't care. He also had all the girls saying he was right; so I gave Lily a quick kiss on the check.
"No not on the check James it has to be on the lips." Heather said. She was obvious enjoying this. But my dad came to the rescue just in time.
"Are you guys coming or not. All of the other kids are waiting for you in the dinning room to eat."
"Who else came James?" Remus said in a disappointed voice, sense he didn't get the kiss he wanted to see from me, as we walked to the dinning room.
"Just some friends from sixth grade. I'll introduce you when we sit down." We then walked into the room to see two tables; one was full with all my parents' friends and the other had my other eight friends sitting at it waiting for us.
When we sat down I introduce every one starting from the left side to the right. "Ok every one I guess I'll introduce every one. This is Zane, Greg, Marry, Amanda, Josh, Ty, Freddie, and Kristina from my old school. And these are the twins Janine and Rickie Ann then there's Remus, Nicole, Peter, and Ryan from my new school. And you all know Heather, Sirius, and Lily. On fortunately Lily older sister couldn't join us because she at her friend party." I said this last part in a sarcastic voice and every one applauds. "I want say last names because that will just get as confusing as heck."
After we ate we went out side and into my green house that was always reserved for my friends and me at these parties. Lily spoke up first. "So what game should we play first?"
"How about the Ha Ha game." Zane said.
"What's that?" Every one except my old friends said at once. So Zane explained it.
"You see we all lay on the floor and put are head on someone's stomach next to you so were in a zig zag circle type thing on the floor. Then someone starts by saying Ha. Then the person who has their head on that person says Ha Ha. And as we go down the line you added a Ha for each person. The object is not to laugh for real or mass up on how many Ha's your spouse to say. If you laugh or miss up your out. Got it?"
"Yep" We all said then laid down on the floor in this order: Marry, Peter, Remus, Nicole, Amanda, Josh, Ryan, Kristina, Ty, Sirius, Janine, Freddie, Rickie, Zane, Heather, Greg, Me, and Lily. Nicole was the first out because she creaked up laughing when Remus said his last Ha so loud that it made Nicole's head jump an inch in the air. Then it went Josh, Kristina, Zane, Peter (lost track of the Ha's), Janine, Greg, Marry, Ryan, Sirius (After him if you got out it was because you lost count or the person you were laying on lost count.), Freddie, Rickie, Amanda, Heather, Ty, and Remus. Lily and me had to keep on moving tell finally after I said Ha for like the hundredth time, and pulling the same trick Remus did at the beginning. Lily creaked up laughing because her head hit my ribs so hard I let out a moan of pain.
After every one stopped laughing we decide to play Truth or Dare. So we sat in the same order in a circle. This I started it. "Lily truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Dang, I had a good dare."
"I know. I also remembered the last dare I got so I choose truth."
"Hey that wasn't me that dared you to kiss the pizza boy. It was Sirius remember." I said with a smile on my face because I thought of the prefect question. "Ok lets see. Who do you like and why do you like him?"
"You already know the answer to that James."
"I don't know why you like him and I'm sure every one else want's to know."
"Fine but Greg you better get him back for me." Lily then said the last part in a whisper so only I could here her. "I like Ryan because he's a total hottie and has a cute butt. Happy James?"
"No because you said it so quietly that only Zane and I could here you." Lily looked at Zane who was laughing his head off. She had apparently only wanted me to here her. "Now say it louder so every one else can heir you."
"Fine I like Ryan Because he's a total hottie." lily said in more then a whisper but every one had heard her that time because it was so quiet. Then Zane started to finish the last part for her but she slapped him heard on the back of the head.
"And don't forget that he... OUCH what'd you do that for Lily?"
"You know why. And don't you dare repeat it. So Zane what'll be truth or dare?"
"Dare"
"Ok then I dare you to go and..." she whispered the last part in his ear. He went very red but lend over to Marry, who wasn't paying attain and was in her own little world like usually, and kissed her on the check. Marry who was totally shock just sat there and was very red in the face.
"Sorry about that Marry but it was a dare. So truth or dare." The game went on for a while not all that interesting tell it got to Ryan.
"Ryan truth or dare?" Josh asked w/ his evil grin.
"UM Dare I guess."
"Ok I dare you to go kiss Lily on the li..."
"Josh don't you dare say the Lips or I'll kill you." Lily shouted.
"Fine party pooper. You only have to kiss her on the check." Josh said in a disappointed voice. Ryan walked over and gave Lily a kiss on the cheek. For some reason when he did this I felt like punching him.
The game went on and I didn't see Lily pass Greg a note behind my back. Finally it was my turn. "Truth or dare James?"
"Like I'd pick any thing else. Dare."
"Yes" Lily, said with an evil grin on her face. I know at that moment I had picked the wrong thing.
"Cane I change that to truth?"
"Nope. I dare you to let the girls to give you a make over. And I mean the whole works. Make-up and a dress. Then you have to go and show the adults." After he had said this I started to run for it but Remus and Sirius jumped on me and tied me up to a chair, as Lily and Heather went and got the stuff.
"Some friends you are."
"I know aren't we the best friends you could ask for!" Remus said in a sarcastic voice. I just gave them a nasty look.
"Hey man you deserve this you know. You swore to Lily that you wouldn't tell any one who she likes."
"And I didn't. I didn't even tell you Sirius."
"Yeah but Sirius is right you deserve this. You tricked her in to telling whom she likes and even worse 'WHY' she likes him." By time Remus was done with his speech the girls had surrounded me and started the make over. While the guys just sat back and laughed. Bye the time I was done with I looked a lot like a girl. They even managed to put my hair in tones of little pigtails. When I walked in the house everyone stopped and looked at me.
"What the heck did you kids do to my son?" My dad yelled. But then he started to laugh with every one else and managed to say, "He makes a good looking girl. All except for the hair. I think we need a picture of all you kids." And with that he put me in the center next to a laughing Lily and Ryan. As he was taking the picture I pushed Lily face forward into Ryan. When I heard a snap I saw that I had prefect timing because Lily looked like she was kissing Ryan even though they had skimmed cheeks. At this every one started to laugh and my dad toke a few more picture
After that every one went out side while me and my dad went up stairs. When we got to my room my dad asked what had happen out there. So I told him what I did to Lily and then how she had paid me back. By the time I was finished my dad was on the floor laughing and I was changed back into my clothes. "Hey dad you think you can help me w/ this make-up and my hair?"
"Sure." My dad said then said something under his breath and my hair and face was back to normal. After that we went back to our parties. But before I left to go out side my mom gave me eighteen stacks of muggle pictures to give to my friends. When I got out there I hand out the pictures and explained to Remus, Nicole, Ryan, and Peter why they didn't move. After about two more hours every one started to leave. Ryan's dad came and picked him up in a car and tock the twin's home to sense they where on the way. Remus's mom came by floo powder and gave some to Nicole and Peter. Sirius and Heather left w/ there parents around 10:30. All my old friends went home w/ Mary and Zane's dad in a car. Soon it was just mine and Lily's family left. Are parent's were in the kitchen talking and me and Lily were setting on the couch watching some scary movie on t.v. called Frankien Stine. It was really funny to see Lily jump at the littlest noise. Finally half way through the movie Lily got so scared when she heard the sink turn on, at the scariest part of the movie, she ended up jumping on to my lap.
"HAHAHA. Lily it's ok. Nothings going to get you while I'm hear. I promise." With that Lily sat back down on the couch but she put her feet up and rested her body against mine. I really didn't think any thing of it and put my arms around her waist so she wasn't so jumpy.
I guess we ended up falling asleep like this, because about an hour later my dad woke me up. "James what the heck do you think your doing?"
"What do you mean? Lily and me were just watching a scary movie. I guess we fell asleep."
"Sorry about that Freddie I didn't mean to fall asleep. I guess it's time for me to go home. Bye James see you tomorrow." With that Lily left all red in the face. I still didn't get what the big problem was. So what if Lily and me fell asleep on the couch together, we're just friends. And best friends at that.
"So are you and Lily going out? You know that we said no da...," My dad was saying but I cut in.
"Heck No. I'm not going out with any one tell I'm 13 maybe even 15, lit alone Lily. We're just friends' dad. And what gave you that Idea."
"Well that's good to know. And the only reason I thought that you were was because you were coddling with her."
"So what the problem. She got really scared during the movie so she sat bye me after jumping onto my lap." I said in a matter of fact voice. "Then I put my arms around her because she was jumping every 5 sec. And I guess we fall asleep."
"Ok that's all I wanted to know James. It's not easy being a parent you know. And you better get to bed seeing how it's 12." With that I went up to bad. The rest of the break went like that day went. Every day me, Sirius, Lily, and Heather would have a snowball fight, every couple of days one of are old friends or some of the gang would come over to. We pretty much were always at Lily's house, or mine seeing how we had the biggest back yards and houses. We even had a couple of sleep over. And every night Lily and I would watch a movie. Soon we were all back on the train and in the last compartment, seeing how it was the biggest. Even though it was bigger it was still a tight squeeze. When Blaze came around we talked about how our break went and all the stuff my, Sirius and Remus parents did while at school. Soon enough we were all getting of the train and into the horses- less crag.
JAMES POINT OF VIEW By: rickann THE TRUTH ABOUT REMUS
YEAR ONE-CHAPTER SEVEN CHRISTMAS BREAK
The next day Lily awaked me. She had thrown a bucket full of snow on me. "AAAAWWW!!! What the heck are you doing in my room?" I said, will trying to cover my body up w/ my blankets.
"Calm down James. I just came to tell you that every one is at my house having a snowball fight. And it's not like I haven't seen you in your boxers before."
"What do you spy on me or something? And why didn't Sirius come and wake me up?"
"Remember last summer when me and Heather booby trapped your room. Well you or Sirius didn't sleep with covers.

"And the reason Sirius didn't get you up is that Heather had to go wake him up." "Oh, why didn't one of the guys get me up then if every ones at your house? And you have to promised me you'll never do this again."
"Nope I can't make you that promised. And the reason I came is I'm the only one that knows where your room is. You see I didn't want to wake any one so I came in through your window.

You be nice to Patunia and make sure your home by four ok." She said and gave me a hug and kiss.
"Ok mom." I said turning red. As soon as she was out of ear shot Lily and Sirius started to replay the scene as they saw it.
"Jaime you be careful and don't you be mean to any one. Now I want you to be home at four and not a sec. later. You know how much I worry about you." Lily said in a high pitch worried voice, that sound nothing like my mom. Then she gave Sirius a hug and started to pinch his checks.

At 4 o'clock all the boys went over to Sirius house, except me; I had to go help with the party dictations and stuff, And the girls stayed at Lily's to get ready for tonight. We all agreed to meet at my house at six.
"James your friends are here." My dad yelled up the stairs. I was once again doing my hair.

"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Lets go I'm starved and it should be time to eat." I said and started to walk off.

"Just some friends from sixth grade. I'll introduce you when we sit down." We then walked into the room to see two tables; one was full with all my parents' friends and the other had my other eight friends sitting at it waiting for us.
When we sat down I introduce every one starting from the left side to the right. "Ok every one I guess I'll introduce every one.

And you all know Heather, Sirius, and Lily. On fortunately Lily older sister couldn't join us because she at her friend party." I said this last part in a sarcastic voice and every one applauds.

"Ok then I dare you to go and..." she whispered the last part in his ear. He went very red but lend over to Marry, who wasn't paying attain and was in her own little world like usually, and kissed her on the check. Marry who was totally shock just sat there and was very red in the face.
"Sorry about that Marry but it was a dare. So truth or dare." The game went on for a while not all that interesting tell it got to Ryan.
"Ryan truth or dare?" Josh asked w/ his evil grin.
"UM Dare I guess."
"Ok I dare you to go kiss Lily on the li..."
"Josh don't you dare say the Lips or I'll kill you." Lily shouted.
"Fine party pooper. You only have to kiss her on the check." Josh said in a disappointed voice. Ryan walked over and gave Lily a kiss on the cheek. For some reason when he did this I felt like punching him.
The game went on and I didn't see Lily pass Greg a note behind my back. Finally it was my turn. "Truth or dare James?"
"Like I'd pick any thing else. Dare."
"Yes" Lily, said with an evil grin on her face. I know at that moment I had picked the wrong thing.
"Cane I change that to truth?"
"Nope. I dare you to let the girls to give you a make over. And I mean the whole works. Make-up and a dress. Then you have to go and show the adults." After he had said this I started to run for it but Remus and Sirius jumped on me and tied me up to a chair, as Lily and Heather went and got the stuff.
"Some friends you are."
"I know aren't we the best friends you could ask for!" Remus said in a sarcastic voice. I just gave them a nasty look.
"Hey man you deserve this you know. You swore to Lily that you wouldn't tell any one who she likes."
"And I didn't. I didn't even tell you Sirius."
"Yeah but Sirius is right you deserve this. You tricked her in to telling whom she likes and even worse 'WHY' she likes him." By time Remus was done with his speech the girls had surrounded me and started the make over. While the guys just sat back and laughed. Bye the time I was done with I looked a lot like a girl. They even managed to put my hair in tones of little pigtails. When I walked in the house everyone stopped and looked at me.
"What the heck did you kids do to my son?" My dad yelled. But then he started to laugh with every one else and managed to say, "He makes a good looking girl. All except for the hair. I think we need a picture of all you kids." And with that he put me in the center next to a laughing Lily and Ryan. As he was taking the picture I pushed Lily face forward into Ryan. When I heard a snap I saw that I had prefect timing because Lily looked like she was kissing Ryan even though they had skimmed cheeks. At this every one started to laugh and my dad toke a few more picture
After that every one went out side while me and my dad went up stairs. When we got to my room my dad asked what had happen out there. So I told him what I did to Lily and then how she had paid me back. By the time I was finished my dad was on the floor laughing and I was changed back into my clothes. "Hey dad you think you can help me w/ this make-up and my hair?"
"Sure." My dad said then said something under his breath and my hair and face was back to normal. After that we went back to our parties. But before I left to go out side my mom gave me eighteen stacks of muggle pictures to give to my friends. When I got out there I hand out the pictures and explained to Remus, Nicole, Ryan, and Peter why they didn't move. After about two more hours every one started to leave. Ryan's dad came and picked him up in a car and tock the twin's home to sense they where on the way. Remus's mom came by floo powder and gave some to Nicole and Peter. Sirius and Heather left w/ there parents around 10:30. All my old friends went home w/ Mary and Zane's dad in a car. Soon it was just mine and Lily's family left. Are parent's were in the kitchen talking and me and Lily were setting on the couch watching some scary movie on t.v. called Frankien Stine. It was really funny to see Lily jump at the littlest noise. Finally half way through the movie Lily got so scared when she heard the sink turn on, at the scariest part of the movie, she ended up jumping on to my lap.
"HAHAHA. Lily it's ok. Nothings going to get you while I'm hear. I promise." With that Lily sat back down on the couch but she put her feet up and rested her body against mine. I really didn't think any thing of it and put my arms around her waist so she wasn't so jumpy.
I guess we ended up falling asleep like this, because about an hour later my dad woke me up. "James what the heck do you think your doing?"
"What do you mean? Lily and me were just watching a scary movie. I guess we fell asleep."
"Sorry about that Freddie I didn't mean to fall asleep. I guess it's time for me to go home. Bye James see you tomorrow." With that Lily left all red in the face. I still didn't get what the big problem was. So what if Lily and me fell asleep on the couch together, we're just friends. And best friends at that.
"So are you and Lily going out? You know that we said no da...," My dad was saying but I cut in.
"Heck No. I'm not going out with any one tell I'm 13 maybe even 15, lit alone Lily. We're just friends' dad. And what gave you that Idea."
"Well that's good to know. And the only reason I thought that you were was because you were coddling with her."
"So what the problem. She got really scared during the movie so she sat bye me after jumping onto my lap." I said in a matter of fact voice. "Then I put my arms around her because she was jumping every 5 sec. And I guess we fall asleep."
"Ok that's all I wanted to know James. It's not easy being a parent you know. And you better get to bed seeing how it's 12." With that I went up to bad. The rest of the break went like that day went. Every day me, Sirius, Lily, and Heather would have a snowball fight, every couple of days one of are old friends or some of the gang would come over to. We pretty much were always at Lily's house, or mine seeing how we had the biggest back yards and houses. We even had a couple of sleep over. And every night Lily and I would watch a movie. Soon we were all back on the train and in the last compartment, seeing how it was the biggest. Even though it was bigger it was still a tight squeeze. When Blaze came around we talked about how our break went and all the stuff my, Sirius and Remus parents did while at school. Soon enough we were all getting of the train and into the horses- less crag.
