The next morning went a little slowly. At breakfast they received their schedules.

9:00 Transfiguration 10:10 Potions 11:20 charms 12:30 Lunch 1:30 Defense Against the Dark Arts 2:40 History of Magic 3:50 Flying Lessons

"Hey Lily!" Remus said happily. "Hey Remus!" "I have a question for you, you aren't by any chance related to a guy named Adam Evans are you? "Uh, yeah, he's my older brother, we are moving in with him this month." "No WAY!" Remus exclaimed. "Uh. Why?" "He's my next door neighbor." "Wicked!" "Yeah!"

The many owls that came in interrupted them. Athena came with a note for Lily, and another owl came with a note for Remus (an Eagle Owl named Apollo). "Apollo, gimme my letter, ah, you stubborn owl!" after many attempts, Remus finally got the letter.

"Dear Remus,

How are you doing? Write back to me and tell me how the sorting went. O, did I mention that we are getting new neighbors? Or, at least they are moving in with that nice Adam fellow. I can't wait for you to meet them this Christmas Break! O, and by the way, your older sister is coming home from auror training this year. Please behave, I love you!

Love,
Mum"

Lily was reading hers. She laughed.

"Ok, my sister is REALLY stupid! You know how we are moving into a wizarding village? Well, she HATES magic and anything that goes with it. What she didn't know is that everything is magic there! She saw a squirrel, looked at it, and kicked it, then the squirrel grew and chased her all the way home!" they both laughed.

"O man Lily, I forgot to grab my bag! I'll meet you in Transfiguration!" Remus sped off down the hall. What he saw at the end was kind of shocking. James Potter and Sirius Black were getting the tar beat out of them by three Slytherins. Remus was wondering whether or not to help them, but his better side got the best of him. Remus walked up to the Slytherin and politely asked them to leave.

"WHY should we listen to YOU?" "Because I know what is best for you." "Tuh. You are the lowest scum on the face of the earth!" "No, I'd hate to take your place." "Watch it kid." Remus sighed and pulled out his wand. He had been practicing spells ever since he got his wand. He pointed it at them. They laughed. "What could a first year do!?" "A lot." "Ooooo! Wittle baby wanna duel?" "I don't know, do you?" "Watch it you." "PETREFICAS TOTALUS! TARRENTANGULA!" The first Slytherin was frozen on top, but the bottom was dancing. Remus wheeled around to the two others. "I'll give you to the count of ten to get out of my sight." They stayed still, with shock. "Have it your way then. 1.2.10!!!!!!!! Flamma ex spiritus!" A blue transparent flame chased after the two Slytherins. They let out a fresh yelp of pain once it hit them.

"REMUS! Thanks a lot! You know what!? You are a Marauder now! Saving our butts deserves a rightful place as a member of society!" James said.

"Yeah! What James said! Whew, where'd you learn to do that!?" Sirius asked.

"I read a book on old magic last year. I'm a Marauder?"

"Yeah you are buddy! Your inauguration will be tonight! Then we'll play a game of marauder truth or dare! We'll ask the Havocs if they wanna play."

"Thanks. Uh, I gotta go get my bag!" Remus sped off and got his bag. He went straight to class afterwards.

"Mr. Lupin, you're late!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Professor, three boys were in the hall and they were giving me some problems, and by the time they left I still had to get my bag."

"Who were the three boys?"

"I'm not sure."

"Well then, take a seat and pull out your wand." Remus went and sat next to James. "Today class, we will be transforming matches into needles. First I want you to point your wand at the match like so and concentrate on it transforming. Be sure to hold your stance like this. Now, do as I did, and with any luck, you'll be able to transfigure this match." After the hour was done, Lily, Remus, Marie, Sirius, and James were the only ones who properly transformed the match, earning 5 points to Gryffindor each. After Transfiguration, they went to potions. When they got into the classroom, the teacher wasn't there. They just sat down and waited for something to happen. A man walked into the classroom who couldn't be more than 20 years old. He had black hair and his eyes were almost orange.

"Hi everyone! I am Professor Fenris! I'll be your Potions master for this year! Ok, everyone, today we are going to make the most dangerous potion in the world! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The students exchanged nervous glances. "Just Kidding! Today we are making a simple freezing potion. Turn to chapter 1 and begin reading the ingredients. After you have read those, continue onto the instructions. If you need my help, just pop your hand up into the air and I'll be with you ASAP." After class everyone was talking about perhaps the coolest Professor of Hogwarts. Professor Fenris certainly was a hit with the students. Charms went fairly well. Lily seemed to love it. After lunch, they went to what was soon to be Remus' favorite class of all, Defense Against the Dark Arts. They went to the classroom and took their seats. A man stepped out from the shadows, giving them all a scare.

"I, am Professor Cerubus. Defense Against the Dark Arts is perhaps one of the most important classes you'll ever take, so pay attention, that is, if you wish to live." He said with a gruff voice. He had short shaggy black hair, and his eyes were a dark icy blue, like death itself. "Today we will take a quiz to see what you know, and we will work from there. Just try your best on the quiz, and if you don't know it, then you just need to work harder in that subject area." Professor Cerubus passed out the quiz. Remus studied it.

Name the Three Unforgivable Curses, and then state the spells that is used to cast it.
2.What is a werewolf classified as and how dangerous is it, and why? What is the spell that wards off many dark creatures (i.e. Dementor) What is the way to defeat a boggart?
50. When dueling, what is the spell that disarms your opponent?
51. what is the thing that signifies all evil?

Before the end of the hour Professor Cerubus collected the quizzes and
examined them.

"Hmm, this class needs a bit of work. I'll give you your quizzes back
tomorrow. Class dismissed! O, Mr. Lupin, please stay behind." After the
class had left, Remus went up to Professor Cerubus' desk.

"You wanted to see me, sir?"

"Yes Remus, I was looking through the tests and yours stood out
particularly. I was surprised to see so many right answers from a first
year, on the first day. You seem to have a knack for this class."

Slightly surprised, Remus replied, "Thank you sir."

"Do you enjoy these sort of things?"

"Yes sir, I find them extremely informative and useful. It is interesting
and fun to read about. I used to steal my brother's books and read them."

"Hmm, well, I can see you going very far in life, especially in this
class."

"Thank you. Bye Sir."

"Good bye Remus." Remus left the classroom.
"Hmm, that is one intelligent kid." Professor Cerubus examined.

History of Magic was possibly the most boring class of all. Professor
Binns droned on and on about goblin rebellions and things that would have
been interesting if taught in a different way. Remus was so glad to get
out of that class, even if it did mean going to flying lessons.

"I am Madame Hooch, your flying instructor. Now, I want you to place your
RIGHT hand over your broom, your other right Mr. Pettygrew, and say 'UP!'
If done correctly, the broom should spring up into your hands. Ok, after
you have that down, grasp the broom firmly by the handle, swing your leg
over the end like so. After you have mounted your broom wait for me to
come and check. Looks like we are all set, on my whistle. 1, 2, 3,"
Madame Hooch blew the whistle. They all kicked off. Remus wasn't the
best, but he certainly wasn't the worst. James was the natural born
Quidditch player, Lily was ok at it, only because Adam had taught her how
to fly once, though, he never told her anything about quidditch. All in
all, it was a very enjoyable lesson.

After dinner, Remus went up to the common room. James, Sirius, Peter,
Mitchell, Lily, Violet, Marie, Chelsea and Aurora were all sitting in a
circle.

"Jeez Remus! Come on; sit next to me! It is time to play truth or dare!"
James exclaimed.

"The rules are, if you refuse to tell the truth, then you have to drink
this truth serum. Other than that. no rules." Lily informed them all.
"I'll pick first. Remus, truth or dare?"

"Uh. dare." Lily had an evil look about her face, and Remus knew what was
coming.

"I dare you to tell the truth about your deepest darkest secret!"

"Well." The next thing he knew, Lily had shoved some truth serum down his
throat.
