MWPP: Through Moony's Eyes
Disclaimer: None of the marauders or Lily belong to me, they all belong to J.K. Rowling.
James, Sirius, and Peter
Remus Lupin arrived at Hogwarts in awe. The Great Hall though, topped it all off. It had a beautiful, starry, night sky, and to Remus's great pleasure, there was no moon. Dumbledore must've done that for him. Candles were floating above his head and the smell of the near feast enveloped him, even if he had just eaten mounds of chocolate on the train with Lily.
All the first years stood in a line to get sorted. Remus watched, one by one, as the students took turns placing a tattered old hat on their heads, that had just sang a Hogwarts song.
"Bines, Sara," called a strict looking middle age witch. Remus heard someone say next to him that that was Professor McGonagall.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" yelled the old hat.
"Black, Sirius," yelled McGonagall. Remus wasn't really paying attention to those being sorted, he was just waited until his turn came.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Brown, Patty."
"RAVENCLAW." The list kept going on and on until Remus heard a name that made him look up.
"Evans, Lily." Remus watched as Lily made her way up to the stool where the sorting hat was going to be put on her head. Gryffindor or Ravenclaw Remus kept repeating to himself. He really wanted to be in the same house as Lily.
"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat, and Lily hopped down from the stool and ran over to the Gryffindor table. That was it, he had made up his mind, he wanted to be in Gryffindor. The list kept going until finally...
"Lupin, Remus," rang McGonagall's voice. Remus slowly approached the stool and before he knew it, his whole head was covered by the sorting hat.
"Hm," the hat pondered, "A werewolf eh? Never sorted a werewolf before, but lets look at your traits. Intelligent, oh yes very intelligent, you would be great in Ravenclaw but wait, here's loyalty, that would mean Hufflepuff. But, oh, I've found courage, yes, and much of it. That would mean, GRYFFINDOR!," finished the hat. Remus went down from the stool and went to go find a spot at the Gryffindor table.
"Remus! Remus!" someone was calling him, Remus looked around to see who it was. It was Lily standing a few feet away. "You can come sit over here by me!" she yelled. Remus made his way over to sit next to Lily. He was very grateful Lily was in his house, that way he already knew one person. And he already had one friend. Not when she knows, she'll leave you, like everyone else said a little voice inside his head, but he pushed it out of his mind.
Dumbledore stood up to give his speech. Remus had seen him one time before, in his house. Dumbledore came over personally to give him his Hogwarts letter. That was the happiest he had ever been.
"Hello everybody," Dumbledore said, and immediately the once noise crowd was silenced. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the first years. Now since we don't have any new teachers this year I must discuss some new additions to the Hogwarts grounds. There has been a tree planted, not a normal tree, a Whomping Willow. The staff thought that it would give a new look to the grounds, but you must be warned, the Whomping Willow is vicious. It will attack you if you get to close to it. Now onto more happier note, let the feast begin!"

Remus lugged himself up to the Gryffindor boy's dormitories and plopped himself down on his four poster bed. After the feast he had become extremely tired. He drifted off to sleep, only to be woken by three voices coming from the common room.
"How about we roll dungbombs under his bed?"
"Yeah that could work, that Lupin kid won't even see it coming. What do you think Peter?"
"Uh, ok, but why do we have to do it to Remus, we haven't even met him, he hasn't done anything, Sirius."
"It doesn't matter, it's all in good fun. Right James?"
"Right." Remus slipped back into the dormitory. First he charmed his bed so that nothing could get under it. Then he decided to teach those three boys a lesson. Remus took out a can of Incredibly, Sticky, Invisible Glue and poured it on James's, Sirius's, and Peter's beds.
"That'll teach them to prank people who don't deserve it," Remus whispered to himself. He heard muffled footsteps making their way up to the dormitory. Remus quickly got in his bed and pretended to be asleep. James, Sirius, and Peter crouched down by Remus's bed and took out four dungbombs. They tried to push them under his bed but it wouldn't work.
"Why...er...aren't these going under?"
"I dunno, maybe we should try again tomorrow."
"Yeah I guess we have too, darn our first prank down the drain."
"'Nite everyone."
"'Nite."

"ARGGGGGGG!" three voices rang throughout the dormitory. Remus woke up with a smile on his face, knowing that his plan had worked. All the other Gryffindors had gone down to breakfast. So, the only people left in the room were three boys stuck to their beds and one boy who was chuckling quietly to himself.
"I hope you three learned your lesson," Remus said to all three of his sticky victims.
The boy in the far left corner had long black hair that fell into his dark brown eyes. The bed in the middle of the room held a boy who had very untidy black hair and hazel eyes. And the boy in the far right corner of the room was a chubby short boy with small watery eyes. Looked like a rat to Remus.
"Yeah sure," said the boy in the left corner, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "What did you use anyways?"
"Incredibly, Sticky, Invisible Glue and an Imperturbable Charm," Remus said.
"We could really use you in our plans, after all, you ARE a Gryffindor," the boy in the middle said.
"Yeah we could, if you get us unstuck," the boy at his left said. Remus agreed and used the charm on the bottle that unsticks the glue. The boy in the middle put on black rimmed glasses and jumped down from his bed.
"I'm James Potter, this is Sirius Black," he said pointing to the boy with the long black hair, "and that's Peter Pettigrew," he said pointing now to the short chubby boy. "We're sorry for pranking you like that, even though it kinda didn't really work."
"No problem. I'm Remus Lupin, but I bet you already figured that out."
"We're even, ok?" said Peter.
"Yes ok, we're even," agreed Remus.
"Well Remus, you want to accompany us to breakfast? If there is anything left?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"Sure. I suppose I can use some food," Remus said. And the four of them headed out of the dormitories and out of the common room to make their way to the Great Hall.
