Both Sides of Life
Chapter one: Year One: Start of Term
Remus Lupin approached the Prefect Carriage to receive his orders from the head boy and girl. His good friends James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew had teased him all summer about being made Prefect, now James and Sirius were laughing that he was use his orders as an excuse to leave them. He stomped off to the carriage while the others found an empty compartment. When he walked in he saw that it was empty except for two girls, the first was..."Lily!" Remus exclaimed in surprise to see Lily Evans, a fellow Gryffindor 5th year. He knew her well since James wouldn't shut up about her, he was absolutely smitten.
"Hi Remus. So I see you're my fellow Gryffindor Prefect. This is Isobel Lupe the Ravenclaw Prefect." Remus turned his attention to the other girl. Even sitting he could tell that she was tall, lean with long logs. Which were noticeably enhanced by the 3 inch shortened skirt and knee high socks, one blue and one white. Judging by the skirt and socks she was a part of The Ravens, an elite gang of Ravenclaw girls who were all pretty and popular. This girl was no exception. She smiled up at him, her glacier blue eyes and long, icy pale blonde hair gave her a look of cool sophistication. "Hello it's nice to meet you ..." she held out her hand.
"Oh ah, sorry," Remus apologized realizing he was staring "I'm Remus Lupin." he shook her hand. He tried to hide his wince of pain as his hand burned slightly. Remus looked at Isobel's rings. "Silver?" he asked not really needing to ask. H e was a werewolf; only real silver would cause the burning feeling.
"Sterling. The only thing I wear." Isobel answered back with a passive face. She looked away as if not wishing to continue on that vein. "Where are the others? I'd like to get back to my friends.' Just then the Head boy and girl trooped in followed by the other Prefects.
Twenty minutes later James and Sirius were grilling him for every bit of info he knew.
"Did Lily mention me?" James asked for the third millionth time.
"No. Stop asking. So are going to use your new powers to help us? Hey, you can toss Snivellus in detention! This is going to be the best year yet!" Sirius cheered.
But Remus felt this was not going to prove true when in class the next day Professor McGonagall informed them of their upcoming OWLs. "These tests will be important in determining your future. You will all need to work hard to ensure the marks you would like. You are all capably of passing." Peter smirked at this "Yes, even you Mr. Pettigrew. Nothing a little hard work can't fix." The class immediately set to work which proved to be more difficult than usual.
"Man, McGonagall wasn't kidding. I mean we almost got homework!" Sirius fumed as they headed off to History of Magic with Slytherin. "I don't know what I would have done if I had." the other looked at him incredulously.
"Well how about you help me so you what to do if you do get any homework, O Great One." Peter remarked coolly. Remus step in between the two "Look we're here now so just cool it."
James pointed over to the far seats "Look it's Snivelly ... and he's got his little friends with him." he scowled at the corner where Severus Snape , Evan Rosier and the rest of the 5th year Slytherins sat glaring back.
"We'll just have to wait for after class." Sirius let out a bark of laughter.
