** I bring you chapter two.
Chapter Two – Peter Pettigrew, First Day
We finally reached the entrance to the Gryffindor Commons.
"To enter your common room, there is a password that you need to say for the Fat Lady to open the painting for you to enter. The password is Priori Incantatem. The password will change once a month, it will be posted inside in the morning. Repeat it twice, please. If you forget this, you'll be waiting outside until a classmate comes," A prefect was saying
I had been paying attention, but James and Sirius had been sniggering since we had got up there. I still had no idea why.
"Priori Incantatem," the prefect said. The Fat Lady's painting slowly swung open, revealing the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Now, all you first years, it's getting late. Here are your dorm assignments. I'll read them off," he continued.
"First dorm, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. That'll be the first dorm up the stairs, turn right twice, and go all the way up.
Second dorm, Lily Evans, Minnie Orlo, Patty McJoe, and Avery Mollison."
He went on and on like that, and as first years were assigned their rooms, they left to go unpack. Sirius, James, and I went up to our dorm room and found all our stuff there already. Sitting on the closest bed on the right was Peter Pettigrew.
"H-hi, I'm Peter Pettigrew," he said. He seemed nervous, even though the Sorting was over.
"Hello, Peter. I'm Sirius Black, this mess of hair is James, and that one there is Remus. I guess we'll be spending some time together," he said.
"Hi," James said.
Once we were all acquainted, I pulled out my latest book, and opened to page 212. I sat down, about to begin to relax, and started to read.
"This spell should be used only to..." My thought process was cut off as one Sirius Black landed from the air flat on top of me.
I had blocked out the pillow fight raging in front of me, but either way, I wanted to end up finishing this chapter tonight.
"Oops, sorry, Remus," Sirius said. He jumped off me and swung his pillow at James' head. They continued their battle of pillows as I sat there, trying to bring air into my lungs again.
"Oi, Remus. How long are you gonna stare at that book?" Sirius said. He had been pestering me to put the book down and have some Bertie Botts' Every Flavor Beans with him and James
"Until... now," I said. It was early in the morning, and for some reason had decided to wake me up before the sun had come up. And so, I had decided to continue my book that had been so rudely interrupted by Sirius' body removing every ounce of oxygen from my body.
"Ah, finally. C'mere, Remus," James called.
I closed my book and walked over, and put my hand in the box, searching for a bean.
I threw the box down and screeched, "What is THAT?!"
Sirius and James laughed. They had snuck a mouse into the box, which had begun to climb up my arm before I flung it away.
If looks could kill, the two of them would've dropped dead right there. The fourth bed was silent, and then out came Peter, still asleep as he fell out of the bed. He shot awake as his head hit the floor, and then came face-to-face with the mouse I had thrown earlier.
He screamed and jumped onto his bed, looking at the small creature below him.
I glanced down at my watch and realized that breakfast began in little under half an hour, and I still hadn't even gotten dressed.
"Er... guys? It's getting late, we should get going. There won't be any food left when we get there."
Sirius nodded in agreement, but James was too busy laughing at Peter, who was still on top his bed, freaking out like a little girl over the mouse. I grabbed it by the tail and put it on Sirius' head.
James' laughter went up a notch as Sirius tried to swat the mouse out of his hair.
He grabbed it and threw it at James, whose laughter ceased immediately. I went into the bathroom and got dressed, and by the time I got out, the "Throw the Mouse" game was still going on. I picked up my books and sat down, waiting for them to finish.
"Well, I guess me and Peter will meet you two downstairs?" I said. Sirius finally threw the mouse into the bathroom and shut the door.
"We're right behind you," he said.
Peter had basically become our friends, we had spent most of last night talking and getting to know each other, since we were spending all our time away from classes together, and had many of our classes together.
We walked down to the Great Hall and sat at our table, looking around for any food left. There was none, except for one half of a doughnut.
The room was nearly empty except for a Ravenclaw, who had just gotten up and left.
Sirius glanced at me hungrily, and so did James. We all bolted to get the doughnut, but when we looked up, Peter had beaten us to it. He took his last bite and looked at us.
Sirius glared. "Pettigrew, you are so dead."
But before anything happened, Sirius began to laugh, and so did the rest of us except for Peter, who looked like he wouldn't sleep for a week.
"Welcome to Charms, I am your professor this year, and hopefully for other years, Professor Flitwick. This is my second year teaching here, so let's make it easy on both of us," the teacher said.
"Now, we'll begin by learning your first charm here. The Levitation Charm. Begin by speaking the incantation without your wands first, let's try it now, Wingardium Leviosa."
"Wingardium Leviosa." The class replied.
After a minute of repeating the words, we finally picked up our wands.
I looked around the class to see Peter repeating the spell over and over again, and he eventually seared a hole into the table below.
Sirius had already gotten the hang of it, and picked up a book to drop on someone (probably James)
James, however, was levitating his feather shakily. I had gotten it on the first try, as my father had taught me the spell already.
"Well done, Mr. Lupin!" Flitwick said. I smiled.
The rest of the day went on like this, but in Potions and the rest, it was only introductions and learning many basics that I had read in books many times.
**Author's Note: I plan to write Chapter 3 either tomorrow or the next day.
