Chapter 1~Back to the Fifth Year:
"Five more minutes!" called Proffesor Flitwick as the students were finishing up their exams. He was walking past a buy with very untidy black hair.
The balck haired boy staightened up, put down his quill,and pulled out a roll of parchment.
James yawned hugely and rumpled up his hair, making even messier than it had been.
"Quills down please!"squeaked Proffesor Flitwick. "That means you too, Stebins! Please remain seated while I collect your parchment! Accio!"
"Thank you...Thank you" panted Proffesor Flitwick. "Very well, everybody, you're free to go!"
A gang of chattering girls separated Snape from James and Sirius.
"Did you like question ten, Moony?" asked Sirius as they emerged into the enterance hall.
"Loved it," said Lupin briskly. "'Give five signs that identify the werewolf.' Exellent question"
"D'you think you managed to get all the signs?" said James in tones of mock concern.
"Think I did," said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager toget out into the sunlit grounds. "One: He's sitting in my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name is Remus Lupin..."
Wormtail was the only one who didn't laugh.
"I got the snout shape, the pupils of the eyes, and a tufted tail," he said anxiously, "but I couldn't think of what else--"
"How thick are you, Wormtail?" said James impatiently. "You run round with a werewolf once a month--"
"Keep your voice down," implored Lupin.
"Well I thought it was a piece of cake," James heard Sirius say. "I'll be surprised if I don't get an Outstanding on it at least."
"Me too," said James. He put his hand in his pocket and took out a struggling Golden Snitch.
"Where'd you get that?"
"Nicked it," said James casually. He started playing with the Snitch, allowing it to fly as much as a foot away and seizing it again; his reflexes were excellent. Wormtail watched him in awe.
Lupin had pulled out a book reading. Sirius stared around at the students milling over the grass, looking rather haughty and bored, but very handsomely so.
"I'm bored," said Sirius. "Wish it was a full moon."
"You might," said Lupin darkly behind his book. "We've still got Transfiguration, if you're bored, you could test me."
Sirius snorted "I don't need to liook at that rubbish, I know it all."
"This'll liven you up Padfoot," said James quietly. "Look who it is..."
Sirius's head turned. He had become very still, like a dog that has scented a rabbit.
"Excellent," he said softly. "Snivellus."
"All right, Snivellus?" James said loudly.
Snape reacted so fast it was as though he had been expecting an attack.
James shouted "Expelliarmus!"
Snapes wand flew twelve feet into the air and fell in the grass behind them.
"Impedimenta!" he said pointing his wand at Snape.
"How did the exam go, Snivelly?" said James.
"I was watching him, his nose was touching the parchment,"said Sirius viciously. "There'll be great grease marks all over it, they won't be able to read a word."
"You wait," he panted, staring up at James with an expression of purest loathing. "You wait...."
"Wait for what?" siad Sirius coolly. "What're you going to do, Snivelly,wipe your nose on us?"
Snape let out a stream of mixed swearwords and hexes, but his wand being ten feet away nothing happened.
"Wash out your mouth," said James coldly. "Scourgify!"
Pink soap bubbles streamed from Snape's mouth at once.
"Leave him ALONE!"
James and Sirius looked around. James's free hand jumped to his hair again.
She had thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders and startlingly green almond shaped eyes.
"All right, Evans?" James said in a deeper, more mature voice.
"Leave him alone," Lily repeated. She was looking at James with great dislike. "What's he done to you?"
"It's more of a fact that he exists, if you know what I mean...."
"You think you're funny," she said coldly. "But you're just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter. Leave him alone."
"Only if you go out with me Evans," James said quickly.
"I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid," said Lily.
"Bad luck, Prongs," said Sirius briskly.
"Locomotor mortis!" Sirius said.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Lily shouted.
"Ah, Evans, don't make me hex you."
"Take the curse off of them then!"
"Fine."
"You're lucky Evans was there, Snivellus."
"I don't need help from filthy mudbloods like her!"
Lily blinked "Fine," she said coolly. "I won't bother in the future. And I'd wash your pants if I were you, Snivellus."
"Apoligize to Evans!" James roared at Snape, his wand pointed threateningly at him.
"I don't want you to make him apoligize," Lily shouted rounding on James. "You're just as bad as he is...."
"What!" yelped James. "I'd NEVER call you a--you-know-what!"
"Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off with that stupid Snitch, walking down corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you just because you can--I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with your fat head on it. You make me SICK."
She turned on her heal and hurried away.
"Evans!" James shouted after her, "Hey, EVANS!"
But she didn't look back.
"What is with her?"said James, trying and failing to look as though this was a throwaway question of no real importance to him.
"Reading between the lines, I'd say she thinks you're a bit conceited, mate," said Sirius.
"Right," said James, who looked furious now, "right--"
