A/N: Thank you to all who have reviewed. I'm sorry that I couldn't update sooner. I've been busy and lazy. I'm gonna try to make this chapter longer but I'm not promising anything.
Chapter Three: Dates and Visits
By the time Lupin and James arrived at the common room, it was midnight and they were the only people in the room except for a couple sitting in the shaded corner of the room. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was none other than Sirius and Jasmine. They were sharing a loveseat and enjoying a nice conversation when James walked over to them.
"Hey, you two! What are you up to?" he asked.
"Well, big brother, we were having a nice conversation until you decided that you were gonna come over here and bother us. Well, it's getting late. I'll see you this weekend Sirius!" Jasmine replied, winking to Sirius as she got up and headed up to her room.
"This weekend? What are you guys doing this weekend?" James asked as his older brother instincts kicked in.
"For your information, we're going to Hogsmeade this weekend. Don't start with me, James. I don't want to hear anything about how you'll hex me if I hurt her. I don't think that I could. Besides, you need to lighten up and let your sister live her life. You should be more worried about getting Lily to go out with you," Sirius rudely replied to his best mate.
Lupin was standing back watching his two friends quarrel back and forth about Jasmine. Of course he knew better that to say anything because he didn't want them to turn on him and ask him about his love life, or the lack there of. So, he decided that he was going to go to bed before his friends realized he was still there. Meanwhile, James and Sirius were deciding that they were going to agree to disagree on the matter of James' sister; they decided that bed was the best choice for now, especially considering that it was almost one in the morning and they had classes bright and early tomorrow morning.
The Next Morning
The Marauders made their way to the Great Hall to get some breakfast before the hell known as class began.
"Man, I'm sooooo tired," Sirius said.
"Me too. I think that I think I might actually fall asleep in History of Magic," James replied.
"Well maybe if you two didn't stay up until one in the morning, maybe you would have more energy. Just think, we have N.E.W.T.s to worry about this year. I think we'll be dealing with having less energy than we do right now. Oh well, it's almost time for my first class. I'll see you in Potions!" Lupin lectured as he left to go to his Ancient Runes class.
"Hmmm…you know, I've never known Moony to like Ancient Runes," Sirius stated.
"You know, you're right! I think he only goes for that Ravenclaw girl…what's her name…Laura!" James replied.
"That's bound to be the reason. Even though Moony does hide it very well, he's as transparent as Professor Binns," he stated laughing at his own humor getting a look from James that said 'stop now before I hurt you.'
"Come on Padfoot, let's get to class before McGonagall gets cranky. We don't want to start out the year with her on our cases like we did last year."
"Oh, alright."
With that, they got up and headed to their first class of the day, Transfiguration.
End Chapter Three
This chapter is dedicated to Flying Fawkes815 for the wonderful reviews that you have left.
A/N: Ok, I made this one longer. I know that it's probably not enough but I'm tired and can't write anymore. Besides, I got this one out in record time. Yay me! Anyway, you guys know the drill: push the button, tell me what you think, and I'll do my best to pop out the next one. If any of you have any ideas, I'm open for them, so write/flame/rant all you want. Don't get mad if I haven't dedicated a chapter to you yet, I'm getting around to it. If you review and give me any ideas or if I like your review a lot, I might dedicate one to you. So push that little button.
P.S. Stop asking me about Lily. She'll pop in later. Just deal with it. It's only chapter 3 for goodness sake!
