-Alu, Avalon's SISTER

Chapter Two: Gee, He Sure is Ugly

"So, James, did you get the permission slip?" Remus asked his friend once he had reached the dorm room. All the other students were asleep.

"No!" James whispered and pulled something from under his robes. Remus saw that it was a cloak. "Who needs a permission slip when you can do this?" He then threw the cloak around him and disappeared. "Ohhhhhh!" he whispered eerily.

Then he flicked Remus' head. Remus ignored him. He did it again. Remus still ignored him. After a while James had hit him so hard he fell to the ground. "JAMES!" he shouted threateningly.

"Okay, okay. I'm going." He then shuffled over to Sirius to put him under the cloak, too.

"You do know those books scream if you don't get permission, don't you?" Remus asked, watching the places that the noises came from.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure, whatever," James muttered, as Sirius disappeared, too.

"Okay, just making sure," Remus said as he saw his friends beaming at him from under the cloak.

"Ready to go?" James asked.

"I guess so," Remus sighed.

Slowly they pushed the door to the restricted section of the library open.

"Okay, we have to hurry! Filch will be here soon," James whispered.

"Filch? The caretaker?" Sirius hissed. "Gee, he sure is ugly." He giggled.

James then started to giggle too. Remus sighed and whacked the sides of their heads hard. It sounded sort of like this: "Hee, hee, hee! Ouch!"

"What was that for?" James asked, rubbing the sore spot on his head.

"Oh dear, James, I was only saving you from yourself and your stupidity," Remus said, a smile on his face.

"Oh!" James then noticed the insult. "Hey!"

Remus sighed and moved ahead so they'd follow. "Okay, jinxes…jinxes…Ah, here we go. Jinxes and Their Counter-Curses. Here you go, Remus," James whispered, handing it to them.

Just then someone came in.

It was Filch. "Hello! Anyone in here?"

The boys peeked around the corner.

"Yeah, like the person's really gonna answer if they're doing something wrong," James sighed.

"My goodness, he's uglier than I thought, and that's pretty bad," Sirius blurted out.

"WHO'S THERE?"

Remus and James flung Sirius and themselves behind the next bookcase. Filch was right in the next aisle. Then from out of nowhere, James started laughing. He couldn't contain himself anymore.

"HAH! I'VE GOT YOU NOW!"

Remus was thinking 'Run for your life without screaming'.

James was thinking 'Air'.

Sirius was thinking 'How much hair does Filch actually have on his head?'.

Of course they all went with Remus' idea.

The trio tore down the aisles and out the door. They stopped at the portrait of the Fat Lady and gasped for breath.

"Do…you think…he saw…us?" James choked out.

"No…not really," Remus answered.

"Do you think that was a wig?" Sirius asked. He seemed to be the only one able to breathe properly.

Remus slapped himself on the forehead. "Sirius? Must you be stupid all the time?"

"Must I?" Sirius asked, confusion crossing his face.

"Oh, never mind. Pixie dust," Remus shouted at the Fat Lady.

She yawned. "You may enter." The trio hurriedly stumbled into the common room and collapsed into three chairs.

"Lets never do that again," Remus moaned.

"Do what again?" came a sly voice from behind them. The three jumped up and looked over the backs of their chairs.

"Evans," James hissed.

"Potter," Lily said, then she turned to Remus. "Hi, Remus."

"Hi, Lily," he squeaked.

Sirius, on the other hand, was becoming quite bored at the conversation going on, and had stuck the tip of a quill in each ear.

"And you are…gee, I can never remember your name," Lily drawled, turning to Sirius. "Oh, yes. Now I remember. It's Sirius!"

"That's Sirius Black to you!" spat James.

Sirius hissed at James for saying his last name. "Don't say the 'b' word." Remus sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh, right! Sorry." James blushed.

"Do what again, Remus?" Lily interrupted, glaring once again.

Remus thought it over. It wouldn't be a sin to tell Lily. "Were trying to find the counter- curse for a daze jinx that was set upon Sirius. So of course we went to the restricted section, Filch came, we ran here, and…well, you know the rest." Remus inhaled deeply.

"The restricted section? Well, if you wanted to sneak into there, why didn't you just ask me? I have tons of ways of getting there and back on time and without anyone knowing," Lily said in a pompous way.

"You do?" James and Remus asked in shock. Sirius was busy with the quills in his ears.

"Sure I do, and I'll help you get it back there tomorrow." She smiled mischievously. "And don't forget your cloak" She then disappeared into the girls' dormitory.

"That was awkward," James said, shaking his head. "And how'd she know about the cloak?"

"Believe me, I've seen worse," Remus muttered, glancing at Sirius, who was now imitating a walrus.
