Sirius had just finished potions and was now heading back to his dorm to enjoy his free period reading. While Sirius wasn't usually the reading type, he definitely was when it came to Remus Lupins' diary. He knew he should have put it back where he found it, but just a few pages couldn't hurt to read, plus he doubted there was anything he could find in there that he didn't already know. "Lemon crystals," he whispered to the fat lady, who gave him a wink as she opened up to let him in. While a compliment was a compliment, some were just a little creepy. He subconsciously tucked his wand behind his ear, waved to some first years and headed up the stone stairs to the dorm.

He checked the dorm to make sure no one else was there, then jumped on his bed, grabbed the book from under it and flipped open the pages. The first three entries were just as boring as his potions textbook, but eventually, it got interesting.

'June 7th, 1971

Lily Evans always hangs out with that prick, Severus. I found her crying in a corner of the library today, so I sat down with her and gave her the most awkward hug ever. We sat against the wall together and I let her cry on my shoulder while I read and patted her back sometimes. When she was done she told me that Severus had said he hated her mudblood family, and when she tried to tell him to stop using that word, he charmed her hair blue, so she ran off. One day I'm going to turn his hair into a bunch of snakes.'

Sirius chuckled, he knew Remus didn't like the greasy-haired bastard, but he never felt right about participating in many of their pranks on him. Even as a kid, he guessed Remus was just as protective as Lily as he was now. With only thirty minutes left of his free period, he slid the book back under his bed and left the dorm room to go get a snack from the kitchen.

Most people in the common room had left, but Lily was seated in his favorite squishy armchair, snoring softly, her red hair up in a messy bun and her homework still sat in her lap. Sirius walked over and gently took her homework and set it on a nearby table then picked up Lily and carried her to the stairwell leading to the girl's dormitory. Now, while he wasn't one hundred percent sure this work, he thought that as long as there was a girl with him, the stairs couldn't change. Tentatively, he placed his feet one the first step, and nothing changed. So he kept going up and eventually, he reached the top. Lily was halfway awake by now, so he looked on the dorm room signs that said her name and once he'd found hers, he knocked. Marlene McKinnon answered, and Sirius smiled sheepishly. "Only Sirius black could manage to somehow make it up the girl's dormitory stairs," she sighed. "It is why they call me Sirius Black, the great," he stated as Sirius gently set Lily down on her bed, who mumbled something about her charms homework, but he told her it would get done.

"Thanks, Marlene," He said on his way out, and headed to the stairs, and when he put his feet on the step, it automatically changed to a slide sending him crashing into a table.

Once he was in the kitchens he said hello to all the elf's, grabbed an apple off the counter and sat down atop the Gryffindor table. Sirius asked an elf for some chocolate, and shepherds pie. As he enjoyed his apple, he watched them work quickly, while most people found them ugly, Sirius thought they were endearing. Soon he was given a bag full of food and some forks, Sirius hopped off the counter said goodbye and sauntered out. With 10 minutes to spare, he made his way up to his least favorite class, arithmancy. Sirius didn't even take this class, Remus did, and quite frankly, he didn't even know what it was about. Sirius used his wand to put up his hair in a bun, and he took off his leather jacket.

The bell wrung and people began to file out of classrooms, when he spotted Remus, Sirius trotted over, chocolate bar in hand. When he came up, he saw the curly-headed boy talking to a pretty Ravenclaw. She had shiny straight dark brown hair, and she was 5 or 6 inches shorter than Remus, her socks went up to her mid-calf and her skirt was a little shorter than dress code requirements. When he waltzed up, she looked him up in down with distaste. Sirius chose to ignore this, and her presence overall. "Here you are, Moony," he smiled and handed over the chocolate bar to Remus, who took it happily, opened it and broke off a piece for Sirius. "Thanks, pads, we should get going to Minnies," he smiled and waved to the girl he was talking to, then led them down the hallway.

"By the way, have you seen Lily? I have some homework of hers I finished since she was so tired today," Remus asked. Sirius told him about how he found her asleep and then took her into the dormitory, but he was really thinking about how much he was such a good person, and how that Ravenclaw girl seemed like a bitch, and how he didn't like Remus around her.
