Chapter 1
I woke up late as usual on Monday morning. It was the second week of classes and I was already tired of them. I'm not much of a school person. I love this school, though. It's my home away from home. Well, my old home anyway.
My parents were such dark arts and purebloods freaks; I just had to get out. So I did get out last year finally. I moved in with James and his family who took me in happily. So now they're my family and I've never been happier.
I share the dormitory with James, Remus, and Peter which is oddly fortunate because we wouldn't want to get caught on some escapades that I'm not in the liberty of speaking about.
I woke up with Remus shaking me awake. My curtains were open and the sun was shining through. I was glad to find this was one of the days that I didn't have a girl in bed with me. Although the guys had gotten used to it, it was embarrassing for her (whoever she might be) and me because a bunch of guys in only their pajamas would be walking around the dormitories getting ready for classes or the weekend.
I had to hurry to get my clothes on since it really sucks to get late to McGonagall's class and have her reprimand you. And I'd probably end up with a detention because she doesn't like me. Merlin knows how many girls go up to her over the course of a month telling her I've taken advantage of them. I don't take advantage of girls. Get that straight. Taking advantage is rape. Trust me, those girls wanted it as much or even more than I did, so don't even suggest I 'took advantage' of them.
"Mornin' Prongs" I said as I washed up and brushed my teeth, brushing my hair as usual. James never brushed his hair. It's not like it would stay flat anyway. Remus was now taking a shower, "Hey, Moony" I yelled so he would hear me. I went back into the room and pulled on some schools robes hastily and lay back on my unmade bed as James and Remus got ready and woke a snoring Peter who had to rush through the morning routine. They all finally finished and we went down to the common room with our bags over our shoulders. We all went through the portrait whole and down to breakfast in the Great hall where we took our usual seats in the Gryffindor table.
Now I'm very sorry to say that James lost some of his spunk this year. I've mentioned it to him countless times and he keeps telling me that it's because he's matured. Matured my arse but he can think whatever he wants to. He's doing it to impress Evans. Somewhere along the way, though, his head really has deflated. And the worst part is, Evans noticed. He hasn't asked her out once this year or looked at her across the table like he usually does, only catching side glanced at her every once in awhile. Now Evans is the one giving James looks. She always liked him. It's just that now she can show it because he's not so stuck up anymore. Even if I hate how my best friend is becoming more moral and... *gag* mature, I want him to finally ask Lily out. He wanted to take it not-so-fast, but he's ended up taking it way-too-slow. Or at least for my taste.
What can I say? I'm a fast guy. *wink* as I eat breakfast and search the hall, finally I spot Dew and gulp hard. I feel that usual tension in my lower regions as a stare at her as she eats, her glossed lips opening slowly to take in the food on her fork. Oh, Gods. I'm becoming jealous of an egg. What has this world come to?
She finally notices my stare on her and looks my way curiously and then smirks when she sees who it is that's been looking at her. I give her a smirk and a wink and she just shakes her head at me and turns her attention back to her friends. What is with her? My smirk can make girls fall at my feet! I'm quiet throughout the rest of breakfast only playing with my food. I stand up once James, Remus and Peter do and we all begin to walk from the Great Hall. Class hasn't started but we can't be late or anything that happens during that late time will be our fault. And we can't have that now, can we?
As I neared the door of the Great Hall something quite peculiar happened. Peter tripped (well, that part isn't so peculiar) and I turned my head to see what had happened to him (also not peculiar). And something... or someone slammed into me almost sending me to the ground (that was the peculiar part). We were some of the only students leaving the Great Hall at that time. So it's kinda hard to miss us, don't you think? On top of that, Dew Mendez and company were right behind us walking out of the Great Hall so she got to see the whole ordeal of me almost falling flat on my arse. I turned finally to both hide the red creeping up my face and to see who had caused my lovely embarrassment. I almost rolled my eyes. Of course. Who else could it be but Rose?
"Can't you see two feet in front of yourself?" I asked sarcastically.
She was looking down at the floor, but her face was set. "I'm oh so very sorry, Black." She spat but didn't sound too sorry at all.
"You should sound sorrier when you apologize. And shouldn't you be in class already? Wouldn't want to ruin the perfect record."
She tensed up more. Dew and her friends had gotten closer as had my own friends so Rose was basically blocked unless she turned around and left the Great Hall. "I forgot a book here."
Dew's voice carried over whatever I was going to fire. "Awww. My poor little sissy forgot her book?" she said in a baby tone. Her friends laughed. "Why would you be in such a hurry? Oh! Is it a romance novel? And you needed it so quickly because it's the closest you'll ever get to the real thing?" I laughed this time as I saw Rose's face get redder. Dew really knew the buttons to push.
The bell rang and the rest of the Great Hall started to disperse.
