8. LOOK WHO IT IS!

Lily woke the next day to find that she was in a completely unfamiliar bed. Then suddenly all pf her previous days excitement came back to her belly, She was finally here, at Hogwarts.

"Oh dear, it's good to see you're awake," a jolly middle-aged lady came over and started to fluff Lily's pillows, "There's always one first year that gets too excited," she muttered to herself.

She gave Lily some medicine that made her more alert and then handed her some school robes to get changed into. Once Lily was done, she left her temporary cubicle to find Remus standing there.

"Hey Lils, are you alright? I mean, what happened?" Remus gave her a pat on the back, awkwardly.

"Fine Remus, apparently I was just a bit over-excited, thanks for coming to get me though."

"Oh that's fine. Do you know if you can leave? I'm really hungry."

"Yeah same here. Ah excuse me Madame, er-?"

"Pomfey," Remus informed.

"Thanks. Madame Pomfey? Can I please leave?"

"Yes dear, Mr. Lupin will escort you to the Great Hall where Professor McGonagall will give you your timetable for the year, hope to not see you," the nurse smiled.

"Same to you," Lily and Remus smiled back.

Lily and Remus walked down towards the Great Hall, "So, how was your first night at Hogwarts?" Lily asked.

"It was good, I met some old friends, who I hadn't seen in years, I'll introduce you later."

"Cool."

"How was yours?"

"Could have been better."

"I can imagine."

They shared a chuckle and entered the Great Hall. Remus and Lily sat next to each other at the Gryffindor table, which was covered in delicious foods of all sorts.

"I could get used to this," Remus indicated to the food.

"Same here," Lily grabbed a scone and put some bacon in it, and then looked up and stared at the ceiling. Lily was jerked out of her gaze by a loud call from right behind her.

"Remus! Long time no see!" A male voice cried.

"Remmy-poo, how are you, lovey-ducks?" A girl squeezed in between Remus and Lily.

"Where's that fox you were talking about?" An all too familiar voice joked.

Remus blushed. "Um, well, she's-,"

"Roxy?" Lily noticed the all to familiar voice of her holiday friend.

"Lily?" Roxy actually looked at the girl she was sitting next to and her face overwhelmed with delight.

"Roxy!"

"Lily!"

The two girls hugged. Remus watched on with a surprised look upon his face, James looked just 'OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS BACK!' and Sirius didn't notice anything until he heard the squeals, he had to get food, first priority.

"Well hex me down and call me Charlie!" Sirius exclaimed through a mouthful of sandwich.

"As much as I would love to Black," A sneering voice came from behind Sirius.

Lily and Roxy quietened and looked at the first year. He had greasy black hair that was just past his ears, and he had dark eyes, dark eyes that were haunted.

"Ahhhh, Snivelly-poo, how goes it?" Sirius asked coolly.

"I just thought you could somehow shut those two girls up."

"Oh, sod off, Snape," Roxy sighed.

"Derwin, I was expecting you to be joining me in Slytherin," Snape looked Roxy up and down with a look of longing in his eyes.

"Leave her alone," Sirius hissed.

"Sticking up for your girlfriend are you Black?" It was a different voice, this time from an older student. He had white blonde hair in a perfect part, and steel coloured eyes, that were blank of expression.

"Malfoy, could you please get your slave here to leave our Gryffindor territory, he might infect us of slime," James jumped in, a bit too late, but his mind was stuck on Lily.

"I think it's the other way around Potter," Malfoy spat, as Snape looked on smugly, "We would probably get contaminated by you traitorous lot, come Snape, let's leave these loser's to themselves."

"Real original insult!" James called after the retreating Slytherin backs.

The Gryffindor group settled down….

"Lily!" Sirius pounced on the girl, "Oh! We've missed you so much! Yesh we have, yesh we have!" Sirius was talking in baby speak.

"Um, Sirius, I'm older than you, you can stop with the baby talk now," Lily patted the boy on the head.

"Hey Lily," James gave a small smile from the other side of the table.

"Oh, Hey James." Lily returned the smile, Remus, Sirius and Roxy looked on amused. "How did you know those dweebs?"

"Old family friends, but let's not discuss them," Sirius muttered, "So, Hogwarts!" he brightened up, "Here we are!"

"Here we are," the others chimed in.

"Okay, first class?" Remus asked the group as they left the Great Hall.

"Potions," Lily offered, looking at her own timetable.

"Who teaches that?" Sirius asked.

"Professor Slughorn," Lily answered. Sirius and James had a giggle at the name.

"It would be funny if we could make fun of the name, but it just makes fun of itself!" James exclaimed.

"You two," Remus warned.

"Right Remmy, that's right, we have to be good students," Sirius put on a straight face and started to march like a soldier. James just laughed and soon Sirius cracked too.

"Bella said that he likes to pick favourites, so just be good, please?" Roxy pleaded.

"Right, no detentions first day," James stated.

"Yeah right," Lily, Remus and Roxy all muttered to themselves.

"What was that?"

"Ah, Nothing, To the Dungeons!" Roxy cried.

Sadly Sirius and James couldn't stick to their promise of 'No detentions first day' they couldn't even stick to 'No detentions first class' Slughorn gave them each detentions for drawing pictures of a walrus with a large moustache. He didn't see why it was so funny, but he had to give the appearance of keeping the class under control.

"Today I will be teaching you the basic steps to concoct the best potion," Slughorn started.

"He talks loudly and slowly. Slughorn," James muttered to Sirius.

"Not to mention he looks like a walrus," Sirius laughed back.

Slughorn taught them the best way to stir their potions, the art of changing the temperature. Basically, basic stuff but Slughorn was very picky, he told James off for sitting in the wrong position. "I'd understand the point of this if we were making a decent potion not freaking water!" James hissed to Sirus.

"Ahhhh, Miss Evans this is perfect. I wish I had skill like that in my house," Slughorn gushed.

"Yeah, well you don't and we do so deal with it," Sirius smirked.

"Five points to Gryffindor for correct all-over potion crafting, but I'm sorry Miss Evans Mr Black ruined it from his cheek five points off Gryffindor for getting smart to a Professor," Slughorn smirked.

"I can't believe you two have detention's already!" Remus groaned later that afternoon once their classes had finished.

"I can," Roxy, Sirius and James all chimed. Sirius and James' tones seemed happier than Roxy.

"Siri-poo can you please chuck me a piece of that pizza there?" James called across the table.

Sirius picked up a slice of the pizza and threw it at James. It splattered all down his front.

"Sirius!" James picked up a scoop full of peanut butter and threatened Sirius.

"Ohhh, I'm so scared!" Sirius mocked.

"Mr Potter!" A vice barked across the hall, "Put that peanut butter down!" It was McGonagall,

"Ahhh, Minnie, ever dearest-," James tried with an angelic look on his face.

"It's Professor McGonagall in school. Now you two were very inconsiderate in your Transfiguration class this morning, I am hoping to see an improvement in your behaviour."

"Of course Professor," Sirius nodded sincerely.

"Good evening," Their head of House left.

"Good evening," the students replied.

"Thank you for being on time," Slughorn looked up from his paper work as Sirius and James entered the classroom.

Not as if we tried not to be James thought.

Stupid friends trying to make us good Sirius complained in his head.

They both just smiled forcefully.

"Tonight I want you two to clean the cauldrons, as you shouldn't know the spell to make the scum disappear I have no problem leaving you here unattended, but I will lock the door," Slughorn said taking a sip from his tea and then he foolishly left to his office.

"Honestly who does he think we are?" Sirius shook his head in disgrace.

"I reckon," James agreed flicking his wand "Scourgify," all the remaining contents vanished. Sirius and James did that for a minute and they were done.

They heard a loud Thump!

"Wow, that sleeping potion worked fast," James said happily.

"Yeah, better get some more of that," Sirius headed towards Slughorn's office.

"Quick, write the note," Sirius hissed.

James quickly scrawled

Dear professor Slughorn

Sirius and I finished

We let ourselves out; we will try and improve our attitudes

James Potter

Sirius Black

James and Sirius quickly left and ran up to the Gryffindor Common Room.

"You guys are a bit early, don't you think?" Roxy said awfully motherly.

"Oh shush mum," Sirius smirked and plopped on the couch in between Remus and Roxy.

"Are you's going to explain why, or even better how you two got out of detention from Slughorn?" Lily asked from behind her book on the floor.

"Well, if we must," James sat down next to Lily and told the tale of their first ever escape form detention at Hogwarts which will lead into much bigger and more exciting plans that would cause their Professors much trial and tribulation.

A/N: Wow, I'm Done, I'm honestly amazed. Now, I SHOULD go and do work OR update PURE MUDBLOOD, but I won't be doing the latter.

Anyways be go and have fun!
