omg, what is this? could it be...AN UPDATE!

im so so sooo sorry i havent updated in...FOREVER...but i just had no real interest in writing for a while. :gasp: i know, i know. ive had lots of schoolwork, and personally i prefer to read then write. (i just read some really good books by Nancy Mckenzie, bout the arthur legend. first one is Queen of Camelot, then Grail Prince, then Price of Dreams. they are soooo good)

no one asked me to recommend their fics, but tell me if you want me to next time

Remus and James sat on the floor next to James' bed, playing a game of exploding snap. Peter lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling and muttering to himself. It had taken them a few minutes, but James and Remus finally figured out that he was reviewing for the potions test by going over all the potions and ingredients he could remember. Every so often he would growl and flick his wand, and a blanket would shift out of his way to show him his notes. Once again, the cards in front of James collapsed, showering him and Remus with sparks.

"How come even when you lose, I still get singed?" Remus asked good-naturedly. James just grinned.

"ARGH! Who can remember that the bezoar should never be used in a liquid boiling over 257 degrees Fahrenheit? That's the most obscure rule ever!"

"Actually, a bezoar will disintegrate in any temperature higher than that, and the fumes created by it create a special gas, in the midst of which new spells can be created. That means that no one can ever have a wand in the vicinity of that smoke, and they cant speak either," Remus informed him.

"Really? I wish we could try that."

"Don't be stupid Peter, you have to be highly trained in that area. That's why animagi have to be watched so closely; because the only way they can transform for the first time is to do it after breathing it in."

"Geez Remus, how do you know all this?"

"Because, James my dear, I actually listen in class. Plus I asked McGonnagall about it after class."

James coughed loudly, and it sounded suspiciously like the words "suck up!" Remus just rolled his eyes.

As they turned back to their game, the door slammed open and an angry Sirius Black stormed in. Without saying a word to any of them, but muttering darkly to himself nonstop, he stalked over to his bed, and started rummaging through it. As he bent down, James spotted a drop of blood roll down from beneath his hair.

"What happened to you Black?" he asked quietly.

"None of your business Potter," replied Sirius, but to everyone's surprise it was not in a scathing tone, but rather what sounded like the hoarse voice of someone who had recently been crying.

"Sirius? What's wrong?" asked Remus concernedly.

"Nothing, now get out of my face!"

Sirius stormed off into the bathroom, and the three boys left in the room sighed. Sirius didn't return until long after they were all asleep. Rubbing his tired eyes one last time to rid them of the tears, he checked the newly made bandage on his arm one last time before heading to bed.

ok, i know that was short, im sorry. i wanted to write a longer chapter, but then i decided to ease back in and not force anything.
