"I made it!" James yelled to Remus from across the hallway. "I'm on the team!" Remus laughed and ran towards James, giving him a big high five.
"That's great!" she said.
"That is wonderful, Potter." A familiar voice said. It was Severus. Oh, no. Remus just wanted to disappear again.
Oh look, there's some dust on my robe.
"Sev, stop." Lily said, trying to pull her friend away.
"Yes, Sev. Listen to your little girlfriend and stop."
"I am not his girlfriend, you big headed pig!" Lily yelled.
Good thing these are my first year robes.
"Tut tut." James clicked. "It's a shame that such a pretty girl has a temper."
Kind of sad I didn't grow enough to get another pair.
"You're James Potter, aren't you?"
"The one and only."
Maybe I'll grow some more this year.
"You are a git."
With that, Lily walked away. James stood there, his mouth slightly ajar, watching the girl and her friend go further and further down the hall. Remus swiped off the front of her robe.
"Who was that?" he asked, his voice slightly dreamy.
"Uh, Lily Evans." Remus said. "She's one of my roommates."
"She's amazing."
Remus always knew something was wrong inside of that funny head of his. Perhaps it was the hair. It made him all loony. "Come on, lover boy, we are already late for lunch, and I'm starving."
"You've been eating a lot, Rem. Aren't you afraid you'll actually fit your clothes?"
"Ha-ha, James. I've just been hungry."
"Extra potion lessons making you hungry?" he asked as innocently as possible. Remus groaned. This year was becoming increasingly difficult to hide her secret. They just kept seeing through all of her excuses.
"I haven't had time to eat because I've been studying." She said, and sat down next to Peter.
"Hi." He said quietly, his face red.
"Something happen?"
"Oh, something happened, didn't it, Wormtail?" Sirius asked the chagrinned Peter.
"I might have gotten my spell wrong in Transfiguration."
"What happened?" Remus asked, her voice dropping into the sweet mother one she used when her friends were hurt. Sirius smiled wider.
"I, uh," Peter swallowed. "I hit myself with the spell."
Remus just starred at him.
"I don't know how, but next thing I knew, I had a rat's tail."
Sirius busted out laughing like it was the funniest thing he had ever heard.
"It looked like a worm! And it kept wiggling around, and he started screaming!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Sirius Black." Remus said and he went silent. She never called him by his full name. "Stop teasing Peter or I'll tell him about-"
"No!" Sirius swallowed. "I mean, I promise I'll stop teasing Peter."
Remus smiled and dug into her food.
