James watched Mandy as she walked out of the Great Hall. Even the way she walks is cute, He thought. "Oh, let me see your schedule before we start so I know what class rooms to show you," James said.
"Okay, here," Mandy said as she handed him her schedule.
"Wow, you have all the same classes as us," James said referring to himself, Sirius, and Remus.
"Good," Mandy said. She sounded relieved.
"Well, what should we show her first?" Sirius asked James, "she already knows the Great Hall, Dumbledore's office, and the common room."
"Well, let's show her the hospital wing. With all those Slytherins running around you can never be to sure," James laughed. So they walked the corridors until they reached the hospital wing. "This is the hospital wing. Let's hope you'll never have to…" James said to Mandy before Remus interrupted him.
"Look it's Wormtail," Remus said in a sort of whisper.
"Wormtail?" Mandy Questioned.
"I'll explain later," James told Mandy as he walked over to the hospital bed that had a scrawny little boy laying down on it. "Wormtail, what happened?" James asked.
"I was doing my potions homework and it went wrong," Peter replied.
"I don't see anything wrong with you," Sirius said walking over with Mandy and Remus close behind.
"That's because what is wrong with me you can't see," Peter said bashfully.
"Well, are you going to tell us what happened?" Remus asked.
"Well…I….I…" Peter started.
"Out with it!" Sirius said getting impatient.
"I spilt shrinking potion on my lap," Peter said trying to hide his face.
Sirius, James, and Remus all busted up laughing. Mandy hesitated then laughed along with them. "Well, you'll be fine. Oh, Wormtail, this is Mandy. Mandy, this is Peter," Remus said.
Again with the nicknames! I'll have to find out what's up with those later, Mandy thought. "Nice to meet you Peter," Mandy said in that same lovely voice that James loved so much.
"Nice to meet you too," Peter said very timidly.
"Okay, let's get on with the tour," Sirius said as he walked to the door. He had his hand on the door as he turned around and asked, "What's next Divination?"
"Yeah," Mandy and James said at the same time. They just looked at each other and laughed.
"This is the North Tower. Up that ladder is the Divination room. Oh, yeah, you might want to watch out for the professor. She's crazy," Sirius said. "And if there are no questions let's move one to potions," Sirius added sounding like he was leading a tour in a museum or something. Everyone laughed.
They walked down the corridors until they got to the dungeons. "Down that way is the Slytherin's common room and down that way is the potions," James said.
"Red alert, red alert, Snivelly at 3 o' clock," Sirius whispered just loud enough for James, Remus, Mandy, and Peter to hear. Serverus Snape walked up to the five friends.
"Well, who is this?" Serverus asked.
"My name is Mandy, Nice to meet you Snivelly," Mandy said seriously. She had no idea that wasn't his real name. James, Sirius, and Remus laughed so hard they were barely breathing.
"The name is Serverus," Serverus said ignoring the laughs.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Mandy said as Serverus walked away. "Why didn't you tell me that wasn't his real name?" Mandy asked once Serverus was out of earshot.
"I'll explain that later," James said, "Now, let's finish the tour."
After that they went to all the other classes on their list and then headed for the Great Hall. It was almost suppertime. When they got to the Great Hall there weren't very many people there but they had already served the food. So they all sat down to eat. "So what do you want to do after supper?" James asked the group.
"I'm probably going back to the common room," Remus said. Sirius and Peter agreed. Mandy was quiet though. It seemed like she was thinking about something so James didn't ask her.
"What time do we have to be in the common room by?" Mandy asked.
"9 o' clock, James answered, "why?"
"Oh, just wondering," Mandy said and went back to eating.
They got done eating and headed for the common room. "Password?" the Fat Lady asked.
"Slytherins stink," Remus said. Then they climbed through the portrait hole. James turned around and noticed Mandy was gone. "Where's Mandy?" he asked the others.
"She was right behind us," Peter replied.
"I'm going to go look for her. It's only 7:30," James said. He climbed back out the portrait hole. He got down two stairs and noticed Bobby, Mandy's brother. He was talking to a group of Slytherins. James didn't like this but he didn't want to start trouble right now. "Do you know where Mandy is?" James asked Bobby.
"No, but she normally takes a walk before she goes to bed so you might want to check outside," Bobby replied. He seemed like he really didn't have time to talk to James. So James left him with his new friends and went off to find Mandy.
