If you read the third Harry Potter book (PoA) then you should know what's happening with Remus. If not, it will be revealed later on. I hope you enjoy! Please review and tell me if I need to fix anything!

James woke up to find Sirius hunched over on his bed, an open letter next to him. He got out of bed, walked over and sat next to Sirius.

"You okay?" he asked. Sirius lifted his head and James saw his eyes looked bloodshot, as if he'd been crying.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." replies Sirius, and gets up to leave. James grabs his arm and pulls him back.

"No, you're not okay. What happened?"

Sirius heaves a sigh and says, "It's nothing. My parents were just a little mad about the whole 'detention' thing. But it doesn't matter."

"Just a little mad? Really? Come on, you can tell me. Were they awful?"

"I guess. And they were already mad about me being sorted into Gryffindor. This on top of that just made them...lose it." He gave a small little chuckle.

"Well, I remember you saying you didn't care what they thought, so why don't we just forget about them, and if you want, we can send them a curse in an envelope."

Sirius laughed at this, then stood up. "You're right. I really don't care what they think. C'mon, I'm starving." James followed Sirius out of the room and down the stairs.

"Wairizrimusanpier?" asked Sirius with a large mouthful of food.

"I'm sorry, what?" asked James in between laughs. Sirius swallowed, took a sip of pumpkin juice and said,

"I said, where is Remus and Peter?"

"Oh, they're still sleeping. I saw them on the way out." Sirius burst out laughing.

"Remus is going to lose it when he realizes we let them sleep this late. They'll probably be late to class."

"Good point. Lets go wake them up." Sirius shakes his head and mutters, "You're too nice for your own good."

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Let's go."

"Oi! Peter! Remus! Wake up! Now!" Both Peter and Remus stirred sleepily in their beds. James turns to Sirius and says,

"Don't worry, I know how to wake up Remus. REMUS! You're late for class!" At this Remus sat bolt upright and shouts,

"Why did you let me sleep?!" Both Sirius and James fall over laughing. Peter finally sits up in his bed.

"Whasgoinon?"

"You slept in late and you're going to be late to class." Meanwhile, Remus is running around frantically trying to get ready.

"Hey, Remus. Are you okay? You don't look so good." James just looked at Remus's face and saw that he looked pale and peaky. He also look nervous for some reason.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Maybe you should go to the hospital wing."

"No. No, I'm fine. I don't want to miss class. Come on, let's just go." Slightly perplexed, James and Sirius left the room, followed by Remus and Peter.

For the rest of the day, James, Sirius and Peter noticed that Remus was acting funny. He seemed to be getting more pale as the day went on, and increasingly nervous. By the time the final bell rang, he looked as though he was being sent to his death.

"Where's Remus? He said he would catch up with us." James looked around, but couldn't see him anywhere.

"I don't know. Maybe he finally went to the hospital wing. He looks like he drank a slow-acting poison." Sirius sat down and shook his head in disbelief.

"I don't want to miss class." Sirius snickered.

"Let's go check the hospital wing after dinner." says Peter.

After dinner the boys walk up to the hospital wing, but Remus wasn't in there. They looked around, and saw that Madam Pomfrey, the nurse, wasn't there ether.

That is weird!thought James. She's never out of this place.

"Maybe he's up in the dorm. Let's go check."

They boys checked the common room, their dorm, the library, the Owelry, everywhere they could think of, but they couldn't find him. Eventually, they just gave up and went to bed.

In the morning, James, Sirius, and Peter went down to breakfast, and in the Great Hall they finally saw Remus. He, for some reason, looked like he was coming from the large front doors, and, what was more, he didn't look any better than he did yesterday. When the 3 boys saw him, they ran straight for him. When Remus saw them coming, he looked scared. James was the first one to reach Remus.

"Where were you?"

"What happened?"

"Are you okay?"

Remus looked incredibly nervous.

"I-I'm fine. I just wasn't feeling good, so I went to the hospital wing."

"But we looked there, and you weren't there!" Remus looked even more nervous at this.

"Oh, y-you did? You must of just missed me." Remus replied nervously.

"What?"

"Just, come on, we need to get to class."

As the day went on, Remus seemed to become more and more normal, so that by dinner he was himself again.

"I can't believe the amount of homework we have!" complained Peter.

"Hmm. Well, as it's Saturday tomorrow, you should have plenty of time." Sirius snorted.

"Who does homework on a Saturday?"

"Well, when are you planning to do yours?" Remus shot back.

"I did mine already, unlike the idiot sitting next to me."

"Can someone please help me? I have no clue what to do for the Transfiguration homework." Peter pleaded.

"Why don't you open a book, then." snorted Sirius. "And besides, we don't have time to do it tomorrow. First Hogsmade weekend." Remus rolled his eyes. "Sirius, you know only third years and up can go." James snorted.

"So? That doesn't mean we can't find a way to go. I say we take the Cloak and sneak out."

"There's a secret passageway behind the mirror on the fourth floor. We all go under the Cloak and sneak out through there, and the tunnel leads straight to Hogsmade."

"I don't feel like getting in trouble for the second time this week."

"Come on! This could be our only chance to go!"

"That is so not true. We can go in third year."

"Fine. You can stay, but I'm not waiting 3 years to go. Peter?" Sirius and James turned to Peter to see what he thought. He looked alarmed at being asked to pick a side.

"I-I think we should stay. We could always go next time." Peter stuttered.

"Fine. We'll sit in the castle and do homework." Sirius huffed.

The next morning, James was the first one to wake. He got up out of bed and dressed quietly so as to not wake the others. He walked over to the window and looked outside. The sun was just coming up, and it cast a weak light over the grounds. James noticed a tree that was swinging its branches wildly.

Is that a Whomping Willow? he thought. His parents had told him all the details they could remember of Hogwarts, but he couldn't remember anything about that tree. They probably just put it there after m parents left. he decided. Shrugging, he charmed 3 pillows to fly at Peter, Sirius, and Remus and walked down to the common room.
