"Potter," he said, unusually calm, "Go outside….right now."
James shoved his chair over and stormed outside, loudly slamming the door.
"Fenwick….although your comments in this class are heard, you still don't have all the fact and --don't you dare Mr. Black!" he snapped.
Sirius shrunk back in his seat, obviously put down from making a comment.
"I will be outside; I suggest you finish reading the chapter for homework."
Professor Silvius left the classroom, which was deadly quiet. I looked down at my hands….they were shaking.
Chapter 6
"Bastard." Sirius said right as Professor Silvius stepped out of the room.
"I'm allowed to express my own opinion Black!" Fenwick yelled, obviously annoyed that the conversation was still going.
"Okay, we get it Fenwick, you don't like werewolves. Can you drop it now?" Lily said angrily.
I looked over to Sirius and saw him slam his book down on the desk, "You're a bloody prick, Fenwick."
"Mr. Black," Professor Silvius said coming into the class with James behind him, "drop it."
I opened my book just as Professor Silvius reached the front of the class and sat down at his desk. I looked at the werewolf in the picture; he looked so angry and vicious. Great, I thought, that's what I look like.
Lily tapped me on the shoulder, "Are you alright, Remus?"
Her eyes held so much concern when she looked at me, I was unsure what to say.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said with a slight smile.
"Do you know someone who is a werewolf?" She asked and I wondered what I should say, yes or no?
"You could say that." I said, looking back down at my book. I attempted to ignore the picture but to no avail. I sighed and closed the book hoping class would end soon. I looked back behind me where James was now sitting, since Professor Silvius did not think it was wise to put him back next to Fenwick.
"You okay, mate?" I heard him whisper.
I nodded my head, but looked him in the eye trying to some how convey my real feelings.
"Don't worry about it, Remus. It'll all be over in a week."
"The lesson will…" I whispered, "But I won't."
He looked at me with a pained expression and I turned back around in my seat. I looked at Lily who had yet to finish the reading, "Exciting?"
"It's horrible actually. Some of the things that they say, I mean it really isn't the werewolf's fault that he can't control himself," she said with disgust. "They should have both sides on how a werewolf and people, who aren't werewolves, feel. It's completely one-sided."
As I was about to reply the bell rang so I grabbed my bag and stood up.
"Remember students, if you have not already finished the chapter, do so for homework. There may be a short quiz tomorrow!" Professor Silvius said and the class, myself included, groaned.
The four of us met outside the door and proceeded to walk to our next class, Transfiguration.
"Gosh, the next time I see Fenwick I'm gonna shove my wand right up his—" James was interrupted by Lily's next words, "Hey, Remus. Could I talk to you for a minute?"
"Hey there, Evans, don't you look good today." James said with slight arrogance.
"Shove off, Potter." Lily said to him with a glare.
"I'll catch up with you guys later." I said trying to avoid an argument between the two.
"Alright, mate. Don't be late for class!" Laughed Sirius and they headed off towards class.
"So," I said dragging out the word, "Shall we walk to class?"
"Yeah, so we're not late, you know." She said it with ease and we began making our way to class.
"So, you wanted to talk to me?"
"Oh, yeah." She smiled.
Was she blushing? She looked like she was blushing. I couldn't tell. Her lips look really soft though…
"Remus?"
"What? Oh, I'm so sorry." I said with a grimace. I didn't hear a word she just said. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
She laughed, "It's quite alright, I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out after class…or something," she looked over at me, "To do homework, you know?"
"Oh, well I—"
"It's okay if you don't want to," She said hurriedly, "It was just a thought."
"No, no that sounds cool." I said smiling as we entered the classroom seconds before the bell rang.
"Alright I'll see you later then." She said as she walked off towards her friend at the front of the class.
I was still looking at her when James asked me what she said, "She said that she wanted to hang out later."
"No way? What did you say?" James asked excitedly.
"He said yes of course, right, Moony?" Sirius asked me.
"Yeah, I did," I said with a smile and Professor McGonagall hushed us, "I'll tell you the rest after class and you can tell me what Silvius said."
"Alright."
The class passed without much interruption and soon we were on our way to lunch. James began telling me what had happened after Silvius had pulled him out of the room.
"So, the bastard said, 'Potter I don't appreciate your comments on the matter' blah blah blah," James said carelessly, "But whatever, he's an arse. Now, tell me what Evans said."
"She just asked me if I wanted to hang out with her later, that's all."
Sirius rolled his eyes, "Well we know that!"
"But what did she say, I mean word for word." James pressed.
"She just asked if I wanted to hang out. That's all." I said again.
"Yeah…..but did she say anything else?"
I sighed, "No, James that was all she said I swear."
"Well, you are going to hang out with her right?"
"Yes," I said slowly, "Should I?"
"Well yeah you should!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Are you mental? Of course, you're going to." James said in delight.
"Yeah, I suppose so. But what will I say?" I asked hesitantly as we all sat down in our usual spots. Peter grabbed a sandwich from the bottom of the stack causing the entire pile to tip over onto neighboring plates.
"What will you not say? You can talk about me if you need to—Peter, what the hell mate?" James said, grabbing the sandwich off his plate and shoving it into his mouth.
"Right…" I said, starting to help Peter put the sandwiches back on the tray, only to have my hand smacked by Sirius.
"I wanna make a castle!" Sirius yelled.
I shook my head and continued the conversation with James, "No, I am not going to talk about you…that'd be a little odd, don't you think? I mean, a bloke talking about another bloke…strange.
"Yeah but," James started, handing a sandwich to Sirius to help with the castle, "We're mates, it wouldn't be that strange."
"I'll just talk about school or something." I said dropping the topic, "Are you having fun there Siri?"
Sirius nodded, "The most fun I've had in years."
"Here put some pudding in the middle for a swimming pool!" James said excitedly.
Sirius grabbed the bowl of pudding from James while a fellow Gryffindor exclaimed in anger, "Hey! I wanted some of that!"
"Get your own." Sirius said returning to his castle making.
I laughed at his antics as Lily made her way over.
"So," She started, "Where do you want to meet?"
"I'll meet you anywhere." James said to her, a grin on his face.
"I wasn't talking to you, Potter."
"I'll still meet you anywhere. Go out with me." He ordered.
"Yeah, maybe when Dumbledore shaves his beard."
James turned to Sirius with a smirk, "Looks like we have a new mission."
Lily shifted her attention to me, "The library?"
"Yeah, sure." I smiled, "When?"
"Well we can meet outside the library after our last class, if you want."
"That sounds good."
"Can I come? I promise that I'll behave!" James said as he placed the last sandwich on the sandwich castle causing it to tip over.
Sirius whined, "Jamie! You ruined the castle!"
"I'm sorry and don't call me that."
"Shut up Jamie, you ruined my hopes and dreams of becoming the first sandwich castle maker."
Lily said her goodbyes to me silently as she walked away to go and sit with her friends.
"Moony! Did you see what Jamie did to my castle?"
Well there was chapter 6! I have no idea how but I was inspired by my good friend remy the marauder for this chapter. Thanks Moony!
Well tell me what you think in a review please, the more reviews I get the faster I write!
