MWPP: Through Moony's Eyes
Suspicions
Snow fell around the Hogwarts castle. Remus just got back from having Christmas at home with his family. Lucky for him, he won't have to lie for another month because the full moon had just been two days before he came back to Hogwarts. Sirius had stayed at James's house because he really didn't feel like having to listen to his, pure blood, fanatic mom, scream at him for two weeks. And Peter went to stay with his older sister in Scotland.
Remus sat in the corner of the Gryffindor common room playing a game of wizards chess with James. Peter and Sirius were in the front of the fireplace playing, yet another round of Exploding Snap, and again, Peter was losing.
"Checkmate," said Remus triumphantly, moving his king.
"Darn it! So that means you have won seven games and I've won seven games," James said.
"I think you two need a new game, you always end up tying," Sirius commented from across the room.
"You think we should play exploding snap and burn off our fingers?" Remus asked.
"Yes," Sirius replied simply.
"I say we go and get some dinner," Peter declared.
"Peter you always want food,"James remarked, Peter replied with a large grin.
"Fine Peter, we'll go get dinner," said Sirius and they all headed down to the Great Hall.
When they arrived, Sirius and James noticed Lily sitting alone.
"Hey Evans," Sirius and James greeted happily. James and Sirius sat down on either side of her, right when they sat down, she stood up.
"Potter, Black," she said sharply "Hey Pettigrew," she said being a tad more friendly, "Oh! Hey Remus" she said very happily when she saw Remus behind Peter.
"Hey Lily. Leaving so soon?" Remus asked.
"I'm afraid so Remus, I'm afraid that if I hang around these two," she nodded to Sirius and James, "I'll lose my dinner, see you around Remus," she briskly turned around and walked away. Sirius and James stared open-mouthed at Remus.
"Why is she so nice to you?" James questioned.
"Maybe it's because I don't try to jinx her half the time I see her," Remus said.
"That might explain her hatred towards us, James," Sirius said.
"I wouldn't call it HATE. Maybe deep loathing but not hate," James said and Remus just laughed.

Today class we will be charming these feathers to levitate," A short little man by the name of Professor Flitwick said. "Now the incantation is Wingardium Leviosa. And you must swish and flick your wands," Professor Flitwick demonstrated and his feather rose into the air. "Now you try,"
A chorus of voices rang throughout the classroom and almost immediately four feathers rose into the air.
"Excellent, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, Mr. Lupin, and Miss. Evans. 5 points to Gryffindor for each of you," Remus lowered his feather and noticed that Peter was having difficulty, so Remus went over to help him.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the classroom Lily was sitting with her friend Angela. Angela was a blonde, blue-eyed, skinny, and tall girl. She was one of the perfect definition of a blonde, boy-crazy, bubbly, and sometimes a little stupid. But she just passed it off as 'blonde moments'. Lily was looking over at Remus very strangely.
"Lily, what are you looking at?" asked Angela, who got her feather in the air the second time she said the incantation.
"You see that long scar on Remus's hand?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"I could've sworn that he didn't have it before Christmas break."
"It was probably just an accident or something."
"But...but," Lily stuttered.
"It's probably nothing."
"I'm not so sure Angela."

"Remus!" Lily called down the corridor. Remus turned around to see Lily walking towards him.
"What Lily?" Remus asked.
"Where's the rest of your 'group'?"
"Oh, James and Sirius are in detention and Peter is still helping McGonagall clean up the cups he broke when we were trying to transfigure them into bowls,"
"Oh. Hey Remus where'd you get that?" Lily said pointing to the scar on his right hand.
"Oh, that...I uh...cut myself when I was trying to make Christmas dinner," he lied. He avoided Lily's green eyes.
"Remus you sure do have many scars...and cuts....and bruises."
"I know, I'm...uh...just a klutz that's all."
"You look pretty poised to me."
"Yeah..well," Remus trailed off, "I got to go get Peter from McGonagall, I'll see you later," Remus was anxious to get away. She's suspicious Remus thought to himself.
