Memories to Remember

Chapter 5, Remus and Harry

"So, what do you make of him?" said Sirius as he tossed a red ball up into the air then caught it in a bored fashion. The Marauders were sitting in there dorms, Sirius was throwing a ball in the air on his bed, Peter was leaning on a chair looking at the others, Remus was reading a book entitled 'Muggles are Muggles-friends or foes?' while James busied himself with a large poster of the Demark Devils Quidditch Team, one of the favorites to win the World Cup.

"Who?" asked Remus, peering over the edge of the blue book.

"That Harry Pottol. Something just 'bout him just isn't right." Sirius said, throwing the ball and James who caught it deftly. Remus rolled his eyes and looked back down at his book.

"No, Moony, I think he has a point." James said thoughtfully as he sat down next to Sirius.

"You two are always getting bad vibes from the new students." Said Remus tiredly, not looking from his book. "What's different about this kid?"

"Well, for one, he has a load of scars." Said Sirius.

"Yah, and he looks just like me." James added. Remus grabbed his red leather bookmark with gold strings coming off the top and stuck it in his book. He looked up at the boys and said,

"I, personally, think he's going to be a very good student and friend. Looked like another trickster, if you ask me." Remus walked over to the door and was about to open it. He turned, raised his wand and said,

"Accio, Marauders Map!" a piece of old parchment came towards him. "Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go and meet this Pottol kid, and prove to you that he is just as normal as you or me." He thought for a minute then said

"Well, neither of us are that normal, so that's a bad example." With that, Remus opened the door, and with one swift movement, walked out the door and down the stairs. Remus quickly jogged out of the portrait hole and down half the hallways. He was about to pull out the map when he heard some one coming. Quickly stuffing the parchment back into his pocket and leaning casually against the wall. He watched as none other then Harry Pottol walked down the hall towards him.

"Hey, um, Remus, right?" Harry said as he walked past.

"Yah, er, where are you going?" Remus moved forward and fell into step with Harry.

"Just heading for the kitchens. You?" Harry asked as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Um, no where in, er, particular. Mind if I join you?" Remus asked uncertainly. He was quite pleased to see Harry's face brake into a grin.

"Yah, sure. I don't mind. I normally eat alone though, so don't be surprised if I don't talk much." Remus smiled, too, as Harry reached forward and tickled the pear. As soon as the Pear giggled, and the portrait swung forward, revealing the kitchens, Harry regretted coming.

"Sirs! You must be hungry!"

"Oh, sirs, you is both to thin!"

"When was the last time you ate, young master? Two months ago?"

"No, no," Harry said, giving the elves a charming smile reminding Remus so much of James. "Just coming for a snack. We both don't want to miss your delectable dinner, and if you give us too much, we won't able to have that too!" The elves muttered disappointedly, but stepped aside all the same, and began to work on some sandwiches and cookies. Pumpkin Juice and tea. Pies and tarts. Remus watched as Harry took a jam tart from one of the elves and thanked it kindly. 'He's just like James, but MUCH more politer, and mature...' Remus thought as he did the same.

"So, Harry, where are you from?" Remus asked, taking the pitcher of cool pumpkin juice and pouring himself a glass.

"Ireland." He said simply.

"What school?"

"Um, Lemon er, Trails! Lemon Trails School for, um, Defense, er, Against the Dark Arts!" 'If I didn't know better, I'd say he just made that up...' Remus thought suspiciously, but quickly pushed this thought from his head. 'He's probably just nervous, being new and all..'

Apart from that slight problem, Remus had a nice snack with Harry, and discovered that Harry loved to play Quidditch, especially play Seeker. And as Remus walked back with Harry up to the Library, he couldn't help but think that Harry would fit in just nicely.
