A/N: Sorry it's been a while. I had a lot of stuff with school to finish. But I'm back.

Remus walked into D.A.D.A. and took his regular spot near the front of the class behind a familiar redhead. The rest of the class filed in as the bell rang. An old man with wispy hair stood up from his desk and moved in front of the class.

"Good morning, class," said the wrinkly old fellow.

"Good afternoon, Professor McKinley," replied the class dully.

"Open your text books. Today we will be leaning about the different curses that deform and mangle the body."

Remus flipped through the text book trying to find the chapter that Professor McKinley was talking about. Professor McKinley started to read the chapter out loud to the class, skipping over parts that he deemed unimportant and adding his own thoughts to others. Remus gazed at his book, looking at the pictures of different contorted witches and wizards.

Remus felt a lump of parchment hit the back of his head. He turned around, already pissed, to see Sirius two rows back mouthing "Read It!" Remus grabbed the note and unraveled it.

Remus,

Sorry about Muggle Studies I didn't mean for that to embarrass you or anything like that. I just thought it'd be funny. Sorry, mate.

Your Friend,

Sirius Black

P.S.: Are you mad at me?

Remus let out a sigh and grabbed a piece of parchment from his bag.

Dearest Sirius,

It's okay.

Sincerely,

Remus John Lupin

P.S.: I'm not really mad.

Remus balled up the note and tossed it backwards, hoping it ended up with Sirius. Remus turned back to Professor McKinley He was still drowning on with his lesson that nobody was actually listening to. Remus looked at Lily's book and copied the page. There was a picture of a clown/badger and a person or of a giant clown/badger and a midget.

"Lily?" asked Remus.

"Yes…" Lily whispered in reply.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Remus waited a few moments, then heard Lily's faint voice.

"…class, Remus."

"I mean in that picture," said Remus.

"I have no idea," answered Lily. "I think it may be a giant hamster mime with a midget."

"Oh," Remus muttered.

The bell rang to dismiss the class. Professor McKinley assigned one roll of parchment on ways to prevent, deflect, and cure the curses he had discussed during the class, which was due by Friday.
