Chapter twenty four
"So which one?" asked Sirius, a special glint in his eye which could only mean one thing - prank time.
"Whichever," replied James absently, looking out of the window. It was September 1st, and the marauders were aboard the Hogwarts Express on the way the their fifth year of Hogwarts.
"James, you have got to stop this," began Remus sternly. "I know Lily meant a lot - and still means a lot - to you, and I know it sounds harsh, but you have to move on! If it comes to it, date other girls, just don't shut yourself down, ok?"
James smiled one of the first true smiles Remus or Sirius had seen from him in days. "Thanks Moony."
"Moony?" queried Remus, eyebrows raised.
"Yeah, you know, you're a werewolf? Werewolf. . . Moon?" Replied James.
"You, you're a werewolf?" whispered a voice.
The three boys jumped and swivelled. Yvonne was in the doorway, her face unreadable. Remus paled.
"Remus Lupin, you are a werewolf - and you didn't tell me?" Yvonne whispered harshly.
"Well, um. . . you see. . . it's like this. . ." Remus stuttered, but was cut off by Yvonne.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me?"
Remus shot a meaningful glance at James and Sirius, who got up and left. The lady with the food trolley, who was in her early 30's and got along with the Marauders quite well was in the hallway.
"Here, I've got your bags - 3 still?" She asked them.
"Oh, yeah. Hehe. . . Remus is having girl troubles!" replied Sirius.
"Well, if you three just act yourselves, I'm sure you won't have any problems picking up girls," she said confidently.
"I was acting myself when Lily dumped me!" James stated.
"Well it's simple - If she doesn't appreciate you, you shouldn't be together. Anyway, I must go - there's still a few Slytherins I need to serve. They're so impolite!"
"Well, how about us adding a little something to them?" suggested Sirius.
"Ok, but leave some so I can give that to others who want more food," she replied, grinning.
The two boys walked back to their compartment smiling broadly.
"I declare our fifth year to be officially started," James said grandly, before opening the door.
They were surprised, but happy to see Yvonne and Remus sitting together.
"What are you two looking at?" Asked James.
"The charts - I have to go on Friday." Replied Remus, looking up at them. Seeing the glints in their eyes, he continued, "Uh oh. What have you done?"
"Potter, Black, and Lupin - I'll get you, you bloody Marauders!" Came a voice, obviously belonging to Severus Snape.
"Did you have to ask?" Yvonne said, sounding amused.
