CHAPTER 6
They headed up to the Gryffindor common room, having to ask five people for directions on the way, to find that a silly looking woman in a rather... out of date pink flowery dress would not let them in.
"You're sure that bloke with the boil gave us the right directions?" Sirius questioned, looking down at the piece of parchment the fifth year Hufflepuff had irritably scribbled down the directions to their dormitory on. "Told you we shouldn't have waited so long in the Great Hall..." He said wisely in response to James' puzzled look.
"Are you going to keep me standing here all night!?" The picture asked.
"I suppose so... You're glued to the wall aren't you..." James said thoughtfully.
Sirius groaned. "Really witty." He said, but grinning, turned back to the fat lady. "Just let us in will you? Then you can go have a chat with that handsome portrait on the second floor."
The fat lady blushed furiously but glowered at them. "Just tell me the password!" She demanded, looking very flustered.
"Oh! So that's what she was on about!" James exclaimed, a look of slow realisation spreading his face. "D'you know the password?" He turned to Sirius.
"Yeah... right. How am I supposed to know it? I've been with you! When in doubt turn to the one who's family's all in SLYTHERIN!..."
"Alright!" James snapped impatiently. "Let's go find a prefect or something."
They were not hard to miss. James noticed that all the students dancing about with a permanent sickening smile and gleams shining from their robes were none other than the beasts themselves. They approached an unfortunately over pompous one who was skipping merrily to the bathroom, robes swinging. "Er... could you tell us the password to the Gryffindor common room?" James asked, watching as the prefect's face contorted with exasperation.
"Excuse me for saying so... but I pride myself in being a Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff... Helga, dear old Helga Hufflepuff... such a kind, helpful..."
"Yeah, alright." Sirius muttered as they went back to the fat lady and explained to her that they had had no luck.
"Not my fault!" The moody old cow snapped.
"Leoninus" Came a bored voice from behind them. It was Remus Lupin, the boy they had sat next to on the train.
"Excuse me please." He said in a rather irritated tone as though him and Sirius were specks of dust on his no doubt future prefect badge. He climbed into the common room, James and Sirius dashing in after, before the fat lady had time to stop them.
"Where were you then?" James asked Remus as he sunk into an armchair by the fire.
"What do you mean?" Remus inquired taking out another book and not looking at James who had sat down too.
"I mean... you weren't in the Great Hall with us after the others had gone so you must have been with the others." James said as though finally learning the true meaning of one plus one. (A/N: Sorry about the JK like expression but it's also one of my favourites!)
"Oh well spotted." Remus said coldly. "If you really must know, I was seeing the Headmaster."
"What about?" Sirius drifted over after feeling fully satisfied that there were no secret passageways in the Gryffindor common room.
"You two are the nosiest people I have ever met!" Remus announced shrilly, throwing the book into his trunk. "It has been wonderful to have met you and no doubt I'll see you in the morning but I am now going up to the dormitories. Goodnight." He marched off up the spiral staircase.
"Imagine what it's going to be like... sharing a dormitory with him." Sirius said grumpily. "The others better be alright."
It turned out however, that the others were not to Sirius' liking at all. Peter Petigrew, the boy they had met on the train was oddly cheerful as though trying to make a good first impression. The other two boys (Albert Davis and Frank Longbottom) were asleep when they arrived, along with Remus Lupin of course, but Sirius seemed to have already judged them on this simple fact.
Peter was talking in a hushed whisper, while James and Sirius were chatting merrily as though they were in a school corridor. Peter kept glancing nervously at the other three boys. After being ignored for five whole minutes, he gave up and he too climbed into bed and said no more to them.
