The weeks past quickly. At the end of the first month, Remus disappeared, only to return the next day claiming his mother had been sick and he had gone to visit her. James and Lily continued their bickering, much to the anoyment of their friends, who often ran to their dorms to escape the more nasty of the fights.
The two somehow managed to find a way to argue about everything under the sun. They both also continued to play a variety of pranks on each other, their friends, and the Slytherins. Lily had proven to be just as good at pranks as James and his friends.
Their first flying lesson had been fun for the first year Griffindors, excluding Elaine. The shy and timid girl had admitted being afraid of heights and had barely gone a foot of the ground, her face pale, before she had lowered herself back down.
Lily, Christine, Sam, and the boys, on the other hand, had had the times of their lives, Sam, James, and Sirius were easily the best of the eight and were constantly showing off by doing tricky turns and dives. Remus, Peter, Chris, and Lily were relatively good, but didn't have the same talent as the other three.
Lily didn't mind watching Sam and Sirius fly, but the fact that James was so much better than her at something got on her nerves.
Classes were one of the main things Lily and James fought for. While James got perfect grades in Transfiguration, Lily was acing Charms. The two fought tooth and nail to be top of the class. Sirius also got some of the best grades of the first years, which surprised everyone, but wasn't nearly as competitive as Lily and James.
Lily hated the fact that though James never seemed to study, he still got terrific grades. In fact, none of the Marauders, which is what the boys had named themselves, had ever been spotted in the library.
Halloween came and went. Surprisingly, Remus did not show up at the feast. No one saw him until the next morning looking haggard and quite ill, saying he had been in the hospital wing, sick. Sirius had told them later, after Remus had gone to bed, that Remus had not been in the Infirmary. Sirius had been serving detention there, scrubbing bedposts. (He had enchanted a third year Ravenclaw to sing the school song every time she spoke.)
The first years became increasingly worried about their friend as he continued to leave once a month, excusing himself by saying his uncle had died or his Grandmother was sick.
About a week before Christmas, Lily and her friends were sitting in the common room, finishing a History of Magic Essay, when James and Sirius burst into the room. They spotted the girls and ran towards them. They both collapsed on a couch.
"We know what's wrong with Remus," Sirius said closing his eyes.
James leaned forward. "We think he's a werewolf."
The girls looked at each other in shock.
Elly paled. "A what?"
"A werewolf," James confirmed. "Just now we saw the new nurse, Madam Pomfrey leading him out to the Whomping Willow."
"The Willow?" asked Chris, confused.
Sam poked her cousin in the side. "Be quiet and let them talk."
Sirius continued. (A/N I've used continued a lot in this chapter. sorry) "It's a full moon tonight, right? After we saw that we ran to the library and got a book on werewolves. We checked the lunar chart."
"Every time Remus is gone there is a full moon." James said softly.
They all fell quiet at this until Lily broke the silence by asking, "Are serious, Potter?"
Sirius grinned. "Nope. I am."
They all laughed nervously, as if it were wrong to laugh.
"I've never been more serious in my life," James said sadly.
"Hey, I thought we just established the fact that I'm Sirius!"
They ignored him and kept talking.
"Well, how are we going to say we know?" Lily asked. "We can't just go up to him and say "Hey, what's up? And by the way, we know you're a werewolf."
The friends pondered this for a while. After a few minutes, James stood up. "I say we sleep on it. It's getting kind of late." He gestured to the clock, which read 11:00.
The girls nodded and stood up, slowly heading for their rooms. (A/N lets just say peter's already in his room. I didn't want him in this scene.)
As they climbed into bed, Elly commented quietly. "I can't believe he's a werewolf. Remus is just to nice, sweet, and cute." She suddenly looked horrified. "Did I just say that out loud?"
Her friends giggled. "Looks like someone has a crush," Lily said, grinning.
Elly blushed a deep red. She mumbled something and hid under her covers. The room grew quiet as they thought about the new development in their lives.
Remus? A werewolf? It seemed ridiculus just to think about. Lily sighed and fell into a restless sleep.

There you go! I'm on a roll so I might be able to post another chapter tonight. And you all know what will make me even happier.
