C.P.1: Boy Complaining
"I don't get it!!! I've got the most impressive Quidditch skills at Hogwarts, I'm always nice to her, and even have the looks! Why doesn't she like me?!" James complained as he, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter sat down on the same beech tree that they always do.
"Maybe you should try flattening your head a bit and acting a little more mature?" Lupin suggested, while reviewing his Arithmacy paper.
"Hey, I don't see you with a girl!" James snapped as he played with the snitch he nicked earlier.
"I personally think James has done everything perfectly right! She should be begging you to date her by now!"
"You don't know that Peter, you don't exactly have a girlfriend either," Lupin pointed out.
"Well, the reason for that is obvious... He fancies James. Look at the way he stares at him!" Sirius explained through laughs. Peter gave Sirius a dirty look. James just stared horrified.
"I do not fancy men! I just haven't found the right girl!" Peter said struggling to defend himself.
"Listen, none of us has a girlfriend so let's not point fingers!" the only voice of reason in the group spoke, which was Lupin.
It was soon time for dinner in the Great Hall; everyone was excited for the new term. James was still avoiding eye contact with Peter, while Sirius just laughed his butt off at them.
"Ahem. Dumbledore's speech has started if you hadn't noticed, Black!" A dark red headed girl said from across the table.
"Oh my god! You're right! I'm really sorry Lily. I must punish myself for being so disrespectful," Sirius said sarcastically then looked at James, who was busy pretending to be listening to Dumbledore. Lily rolled her eyes. Everyone was eager for Dumbledore to stop talking so they can get on with the feast. During the entire period of time, James persistently glanced nervously over at Lily, Sirius had fallen asleep, Remus was desperately trying to pay attention, and Peter was daydreaming. Finally they had got done with all the speeches and had gone through the sorting hat, which they had lost interest from the past couple of years. The feast had begun, Remus had to poke Sirius with his wand to wake up. "Steak...?" Sirius mumbled as he raised his head from the table and yawned.
"You're such a dog, Padfoot," James said and passed the potatoes to Peter.
"Well you're such a horse, Prongs," Sirius smiled. Lily looked up suspicious. "Look at all them carrots on your plate! Trying to be healthy I see, tsk tsk."
Peter laughed giddily and snorted. "I'm such a rat aren't I?"
"Sure, yeah, whatever," James said.
"You killed it," Sirius added. Peter seemed disappointed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next the morning they started their classes. The first class was Potions, which Sirius had arrived late to, Remus was ready as usual, Peter was fiddling with his wand, and James was scribbling the letters "L.E" on his parchment.
"Mr. Black, why are you late?" Professor Lipps asked tapping her wand in her hand.
"Well... The reason for that is--" Sirius stalled when trying to figure out an excuse, but was suddenly cut off when a fleet of test tubes flew through the air and hit the chalk board shattering. The Professor raised her eyebrow and then uttered,
"Repairu!" Sirius then hurriedly took his seat hoping that Professor Lipps was too distracted to remember he was late.
"Pettigrew! Haven't I told you enough to not play with your wand when I'm talking?"
"B- but you weren't talk-king," Peter stuttered.
"Silence! You will report to my office after all classes are over for your 2-hour detention with me! Everyone, take out some parchment, we will begin taking notes." Sirius gave a sigh of relief thinking he was off the hook. "Oh yes, and Black, you will accompany Pettigrew for being late," she then added. Sirius scowled and then noticed the kid a couple desks away, Severus Snape, smirking at him. Sirius gave him a hand gesture and a girl then swooned from behind Sirius. Peter watched the whole scene admirably from the back of the room, he imagined himself to be to be Sirius and the girl swooning for him.
It seemed to last forever for lunch to come, they were all still complaining about the Potions teacher Professor Lipps.
"Shouldn't she be dead by now?" Sirius asked.
"You would think... but the scary thing is that her mother's still alive too! And she's going to start coming in to assist her!" Lupin added.
"Are you kidding? That's impossible! She'd be like 2 hundred something!" James's jaw dropped.
"That would be like twice the detentions now! -Hey, it's Snivellus over there! Let's go curse him for being an ass!" Peter pointed.
"Nah, I don't need to get in anymore trouble today," Sirius said poking at his lunch.
"But he laughed at you! Aren't you going to get him back?!" Peter said concerned.
"I'll let it go this time," Sirius said. Everyone looked at Sirius; James even stopped scanning the grounds for Lily.
"Is this a sign of maturity I hear?" Lupin asked incredulously. The rest looked at him interested
"No, just laziness," Sirius said coolly.

Mean while on the other end of the Gryffindor table were Lily Evans (Potter), Palak Shah (Patil), Kayla Kadavra, (A/n: *pokes Kayla-chan* Muah ha haa!!! A different last name for precautions of course) Molly McGraw (Weasley), and Alice Abbott (Longbottom) Palak was looking dreamily over at Sirius when Lily said,
"They're such losers aren't they? Immature boys that always are trying to get attention,"
"Huh?" Palak said breaking out of her trance. "Oh, yeah, yeah."
"Not all of them," said Kayla. "Remus is quite nice, he's not like the others."
"Yeah, but does he do anything about them? No, he doesn't." Lily reassured. "I especially don't like that James!"
"Isn't that the one that keeps on asking you out?" Alice asked, joining the conversation.
"Unfortunately, yes. He won't get a clue!"
"Be happy someone fancies you. I'm still waiting for Arthur Weasley to ask me out," Molly said now looking over to the other group of boys to their left, which included, Arthur himself, Mundugus Fletcher, Phil Finnigan, Dave Thomas, and Frank Longbottom.
"I fancy Frank," Alice added, "He's so cute!"
"No he's not!" Palak said disgusted.
"Well, I'm glad you don't fancy him," Alice defended herself. Hagrid looked up while huddled in the corner of the Gryffindor table cradling a flobber worm.
Lunch was soon over and the students continued with their studies. The time went slowly, and everyone, including the teachers were counting the seconds until the end of the day. The classes ended, which meant that it was time for Sirius and Peter to go to detention. They weren't surprised to see that they weren't the only ones in detention with Professor Lips, since she's been known to hobby giving out detentions. Mudungus Fletcher was seated next to the window, Sirius went to sit next to him; they get along quite well since their personalities had quite a striking resemblance at their age. Peter took the seat next to Sirius.
"So, you going to the party?" Mundungus whispered to Sirius.
"I was thinking about it, it's at the Hogshead, right?" Sirius whispered back.
"Party? What Party?!" Peter said excitedly.
"Umm..." Mundungus and Sirius ignored Peter. "Anyway, The Grungy Shower heads are going to be playing." Mundungus said. Peter's eyes lit up.
"I love The Grungy Shower Heads!"
"THERE WILL BE NO TALKING IN MY CLASSROOM! SPREAD OUT! OR YOU'LL BE IN HERE TOMORROW ASWELL!" Professor Lipps yelled from the front of the classroom. The three groaned and went off in other directions. After 2 hours they each had completed around 30 pages of standards. "You are released for the time being, but I'm sure this will not be the last of you punks getting in trouble. So each time you receive a detention from me it will be an hour longer, now good day!" Professor Lipps said eyeing them.
Peter and Sirius scrambled over to the Gryffindor common room and spotted James and Remus working on their History of Magic homework.
"James? Homework? And actually doing it?" Sirius commented raising an eyebrow.
"It's your fault you weren't here to distract him," Remus smiled. "But don't get too worried, he's not doing it right."
"What? I'm not?" James groaned. "What did I do wrong?"
"Here, Vampires didn't start getting accepted until the early 1900s not 1800s, that's when they were feared the most," Remus corrected.
"What ever..." James sighed. Peter couldn't control himself anymore.
"Guess what?! Sirius and I are invited to a party! Want to come?" Peter said extremely excited.
"We are?" Sirius questioned. "You just overheard Mundungus's and my conversation."
"Oh..." Peter's spirit deflated. Sirius then felt bad.
"Listen, it's not that you can't come, it's just that I don't think you'd do well there. Those types of parties are pretty intense. You have to be a hard-core rocker; and besides, you're suppose to be over 18 to get in anyway," Sirius said trying to convince him.
"You and Mundungus aren't over 18!"
"That's besides the point. The reason for that is cause Mundungus and I have connections,"
"Then you can get us in?" Peter said his hopes rising again.
"I'll think about it... But it's up to Remus and James if they want to go," Sirius declared.
"When is it?" James asked.
"Sunday, at 9:00 pm. until whenever," Sirius answered.
"I don't know, we have classes the next morning," Remus warned.
"We can leave early," Peter suggested.
"Yeah, but there's still the problem of getting to it," said Lupin.
"Oh, that's easy, we can just use our map. The tunnel that leads up to Honeydukes will do," answered Sirius, now unconsciously trying to convince them to come.
"Okay, I'm in," said James.
"Well, if James is going," Lupin accepted.
"All right!!!" Peter cheered. "This is going to be great!"
