The Marauders Year 1
Chapter 8: Pranks
A few weeks later Remus woke up early to take his minor infirmus potion for the month. He wrinkled his nose at the taste and put the empty vial back in the box. Quickly and quietly, Remus got dressed and grabbed his bag. He snuck out of the dorm and to the kitchen.
The house elves greeted him cheerfully and gave him all the food he wanted. He thanked them and after eating all the food, he went to the library and hid in a corner of the library to study and do his homework.
Today was the second Quidditch game of the year. It was Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw. Remus knew if he didn't sneak away early in the morning that his friends would force he to go to the game. They were still trying to get him to fall in love with the game. He couldn't take anymore of going to Gryffindor Quidditch team practice or the games. Why he allowed himself to become friends with Quidditch obsessed freaks he will never know.
Sirius woke up as he rolled out of bed onto the floor, pulling his blankets and curtains down off the bed with him. He started thrashing about in the covers and curtains, trying to get out of them. "JAMES! PETER! REMUS!" He yelled, stuck in the blankets.
Two thuds were heard as two more bodies hit the ground.
"What are you yelling about?" James growled.
"I need help." Sirius grumbled, embarrassed.
James sat up and looked at Sirius through squinted eyes, amused. "How did you get that tangled up?"
Sirius glared at him. "Just come help me."
Peter rolled out of his own blankets and came over to Sirius. He grabbed Sirius's blankets and pulled them into the air, flipping Sirius onto the ground. He threw the blanket on Sirius's head and went back to his bed and sat down."Did you guys notice that Remus isn't in here?"
Sirius pulled the blanket off his head and looked towards Remus's bed to see that it was empty. "I wonder where he is."
"Probably snuck off since today is Quidditch." James answered, putting his glasses on. "Come on. Let's go get breakfast then go find him."
The others agreed and after getting dressed went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. After eating a quick breakfast the three friends went to the library, thinking that that was the place Remus was most likely at.
When they got there, they all stopped outside the library. "I don't want to go in there again." Sirius growled. "Going in there once was enough for me."
"Me too." James said and turned to Peter. "Go get Remus."
Peter rolled his eyes and went into the library. Granted, he didn't like the library either and didn't want to go in there again, but if it was just to get Remus it would be fine. He just had to move fast and not look at the books. He only used books for homework and the rest of the time he avoided them.
It only took Peter a few minutes to find Remus hiding in a corner in the library. "Remus, James and Sirius want….."
"Not happening, Pete. I'm not leaving my safety zone." Remus replied.
Peter blinked and scratched his head. "Safety zone?"
"The only place I can get peace and quiet because James and Sirius are too scared to come in here. It's the only place I can get time alone." Remus explained, flipping through a book. "You can leave the library now and tell them that I'm not going to the game."
"No. I didn't come into this evil place just for you to tell me no." Peter growled. He grabbed Remus's arm and dragged him out of the library.
James and Sirius looked at the library doors to see Peter dragging an annoyed and mad looking Remus out of the library. Remus pulled his arm out of Peter's grip and went to stalk back into the library. Before he could go two steps, James and Sirius each grabbed one of his arms and dragged him away from the library.
"The library is a horrible place." James said.
"You must not spend your weekend in such a horrid place, Mr. Lupin." Sirius added.
James nodded his head seriously. "Yes, you must spend it on the Quidditch field. Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw."
Remus growled, but let himself be dragged to the Quidditch pitch. He decided he would get his revenge later before he had to leave for the full moon the next day. They would learn not to mess with him when he was in an irritable mood.
The four boys made it down to the Quidditch pitch and watched the game excited, at least three of them did, with the other Gryffindors. The game lasted a few hours before the Ravenclaw seeker caught the snitch, allowing Ravenclaw to win the game.
"That was amazing!" James said after the game.
"Did you see that dive?" Sirius exclaimed.
Remus started banging his head off a wall. James, Sirius, and Peter had been talking about the game since it ended. It was driving him crazy. He didn't understand what was so great about the game. To him it was just flying around on a broomstick throwing and hitting balls around.
By the time his three friends went to bed, Remus was sure he was close to insanity. Hearing nothing but Quidditch all day was going to drive him mad one day. He had to take a few minutes to get what was left of his sanity back before he could take his revenge
After taking a few minutes to calm himself from a whole day of nothing but Quidditch, Remus sat on his bed looking through his charm book for something that would help him with his revenge against his friends.
It took Remus half an hour to work out the perfect revenge prank against his friends. He waited another hour before he made his move to start working on the prank. He moved to each of his friends' bed and whispered a spell two times at each of them.
After he was finished with that, Remus climbed into his bed and went to sleep.
The next morning, Remus made sure he was the first one awake. After taking his minor infirmus potion, he took a shower, got dressed, and left the dorm in less than half an hour. All his friends were still asleep by the time he left the dorm. His prank wasn't finished yet. He still had one more step in his prank to complete, but he had to wait until his friends were in the Great Hall before he could do the last step.
"Morning Lily." Remus greeted his friend when he entered the Great Hall. He sat next to her and smiled pleasantly, hiding the fact that something was going to happen during breakfast.
"Good morning, Remus." Lily replied, smiling kindly at him. "You seem happy today. I was worried because you looked really mad yesterday."
Remus shrugged. "My friends are Quidditch obsessed. They were driving me insane with their Quidditch talk yesterday."
Lily nodded her head. "I see. You don't like Quidditch?"
"No. Not really." Remus replied. "My dad loves the game though. He takes me to games all the time. I always tell him I don't like the game, but he loves it and wants me to love it. He is just like my friends and the Gryffindor Quidditch team, trying to get me to love the game like that."
Lily laughed. "I don't understand it completely and I don't really like flying. I only go to the games when Gryffindor is playing."
"You're lucky you have a choice in the matter. My friends dragged me to the game yesterday." Remus replied.
"Poor you." Lily said, laughing.
The two friends stopped talking when everyone started laughing. They looked where the students were pointing and laughing at. Three boys stood at the entrance of the Great Hall with orange skin and green hair.
Lily covered her mouth to hide her green. "I wonder what happened to them." She looked at Remus suspiciously.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"You share a dorm with them and are the only one who's not orange and green." Lily said, raising a brow.
Remus smiled innocently.
"LUPIN!" Sirius yelled angrily, stomping over to Remus and Lily with James and Peter following him.
Remus smirked and pulled out his wand before Sirius could reach him. He pointed it at Sirius. "Decurro." He said the spell two more times, pointing his wand at James and Peter.
The three friends were standing in the middle alley, standing in the center of the Great Hall and started to sing.
Oompa Loompa Doompadee Doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa Doompadee Dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
Lily started laughing at loud, really hard. All the muggle-borns and half-bloods, who knew the movie the song was from, were laughing really hard, while the pure-bloods were just laughing at the act.
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it
James, Sirius, and Peter were glaring at Remus, who was laughing at them.
The teachers were watching shocked, except Dumbledore, who was watching the act amused. His eyes were twinkling in amusement.
Oompa Loompa Doompadee Dah
If you're not greedy you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompadee Do
Doompadee Doo
When the song was finished, the whole hall was laughing, except the teachers who were still shocked at what happen, again of course only Dumbledore wasn't shock. He started clapping and so did the rest of the hall, even though they were still laughing really hard, especially the Slytherins, who thought of this as nice revenge, even though they weren't the ones who did it.
"That was very nicely done, Mr. Black, Potter, Pettigrew." Dumbledore said, standing up.
James, Sirius, and Peter grumbled angrily to themselves and glared at Remus, who grinned at them.
"Thank you sir." Sirius growled.
Remus saw the dangerous glints in his friends' eyes. "Well, Ms. Evans, I think this is where I get the hell out of here. I will see you later."
Remus stood up and ran out of the Great Hall with three angry first years following him.
"GET BACK HERE, LUPIN!" James screamed.
Professor McGonagall stood up and watched the four boys run out of the Great Hall. "Should I do something, sir?"
Dumbledore chuckled. "No, no. Let them have their fun. It was a harmless joke. I just hope Mr. Lupin remembers what today is."
Remus ran out of the castle and down to the lake. His three best mates chasing after him.
"LUPIN, JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL WE CATCH YOU!" Sirius screamed.
Remus laughed and continued to run away from his friends. Doing that prank took his irritably of the full moon being tonight away. "YOU WON'T CATCH ME!"
James, Sirius, and Peter chased after Remus for a few hours before all four boys started to get really tired from all the running. Remus was breathing hard and looked behind him to see his friends still chasing him.
"Don't they ever give up." Remus grumbled to himself. He turned towards the castle to go back inside to escape them.
Remus ran inside and up a bunch of flights of stairs until he reached the portrait of the fat lady. "Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane." He said hurriedly, looking around for his friends.
The portrait opened up and the fat lady started to grumble about kids being in a hurry these days and about them being rude. Remus ignored her and ran inside. He collapsed on the floor in front of the fireplace, breathing heavily.
Bilius looked at him and laughed. "They didn't catch you?"\
Remus laughed and shook his head.
Shawn came over and sat down on the couch. "That was a brilliant prank, but aren't you suppose to prank people who aren't you friends?"
"Those three made me mad yesterday. It's a revenge prank." Remus replied just as the portrait swung open and three angry oompa loompas, a.k.a first years, came into the common room.
They stomped over to Remus. Without a word to anyone, James and Sirius each grabbed one of his arms and dragged him up to their dorm. In their dorm, James and Sirius dropped Remus on the ground and the three orange boys glared at the laughing boy.
"Remus." Sirius growled, only to be ignored.
"Remus." James screamed, only to be ignored as well.
James eye started twitching. "REMUS JOHN LUPIN!"
People in the common room jumped in surprise at the yelling and looked towards the dorms. "I hope they don't kill Remus." Angel said.
Shawn laughed. "Don't worry, Angel. They won't kill a friend."
Remus stopped laughing and looked at his friends. "Yes?" He asked, trying to stop the grin on his face.
"Fix this?" Sirius growled, gesturing to the orange skin and green hair.
Remus stood up and smiled. "Sorry, but the color will last, oh let's say, a week."
While his friends were processing that news, Remus took the time to run out of the dorm. He just reached the common room when he heard their reactions.
"LUPIN!" James, Sirius, and Peter yelled and they came racing down the stairs.
Remus smirked and was about to race out of the common room when he saw Darkwing outside the window. He stopped walking and allowed himself be tackled to the ground by an angry James.
Remus grinned at him. "You finally caught me. Now, what are you going to do about it?"
James frowned and looked at Sirius and Peter. "What are we going to do?"
Sirius thought for a moment. "I don't know. I never really thought about it."
Remus rolled his eyes, but smiled. "Angel, can you let Darkwing in here for me?"
"Sure." Angel replied. She moved to the window and let the owl in.
Darkwing hooted her thanks. She flew over to Remus and landed next to him.
"James, get off me." Remus said. "I have a letter."
"Why don't your letters come at normal times?" James asked, as he rolled off of Remus.
Remus sat up and took the letter. "Because normal is boring."
Sirius nodded his head. "He's got a point, Jamesie."
James rolled his eyes.
Remus read his letter and frowned. "I have to go guys."
James looked at his friend worried. "Why?"
"Do you remember last month when I told you about my Aunt Margie and how she is deathly ill?" Remus asked, gripping the letter tightly.
James paled. "She died, didn't she?"
Remus nodded his head, slowly.
James hugged Remus. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Remus said, silently. "Not like it's your fault."
Remus stood up and went back up to his dorm. Darkwing hooted sadly and left the tower. James, Sirius, and Peter followed Remus back up to the dorm to see Remus packing some clothes. "I'll be back in a few days. I have to go to her funeral."
Sirius clapped a hand on Remus's shoulder supportively. "It'll be alright, Rem."
Remus nodded his head. He bit his lip and made himself think of something really sad to make himself cry. He let the tears fall out of his eyes. His shoulders shook from the crying.
James smiled sadly and kneeled next to Remus. He threw his arm over Remus's shoulders in a half hug. "Mate?"
"Sorry." Remus muttered.
"Don't be. It's alright to cry. Your aunt died." James said quietly.
Remus nodded his head and stood up. "I'll see you in a few days."
"We'll be here when you come back." Peter said, hugging Remus.
Remus hugged him, then hugged Sirius before leaving the dorm. When he closed the door, Remus wiped his eyes free of the tears. He sighed and left the tower when he ran into Lily, who was coming back from the library.
"Remus, have you been crying?" Lily asked, shock.
"I just got a letter from my dad. My Aunt Margie died. I have to go home." Remus answered.
"Oh." Lily hugged Remus tightly. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"
Remus gulped. "I…I w-will b-be."
Lily nodded her head. "I'll be here when you get back."
"Thanks Lils."
Remus smiled sadly at her and watched her enter the tower before heading to the Hospital Wing. "Madam Pomfrey."
Madam Pomfrey looked up and smiled at him. "Good to see you're still alive." At Remus confused look, she continued. "I saw your friends chasing today. They looked ready to kill you."
Remus laughed. "No. I think that was an act. I think they were amused by it. I think they were planning to get revenge against me, but now that my Aunt Margie died they might think better of it."
"Is that why your face is tear strained? Fake crying?" Madam Pomfrey asked, as she handed the cloak to Remus.
"Yeah." Remus replied as he threw his bag into the private room and put the cloak on.
Madam Pomfrey nodded her head and led Remus out of the castle. She said her good-byes to Remus and smiled reassuring at him.
Remus smiled sadly back and climbed into the tunnel. He was a few hours early, but it seemed like a good idea to leave early this time. He didn't get to eat lunch or dinner today, but it didn't matter to Remus. Even with the minor infirmus potion, Remus still felt queasy. Not queasy enough that he couldn't eat, but still queasy enough that he didn't really enjoy eating during the time of the full moon. He only did it to keep James, Sirius, and Peter off his back.
The next few hours were spent by Remus sleeping. He was always really tried around the full moon. He woke up in pain as the full moon came out a few hours later.
The next thing Remus knew after the painful transformation was waking up in his private room in the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey was standing over him and healing his wounds, somewhat. "Morning dear. Your transformation was worse this time."
"Sure feels like it was." Remus mumbled.
Madam Pomfrey smiled kindly at him and gave him a goblet. "This will help with the pain."
Remus drank the potion and scrunched up his face at the taste. "Tastes horrible."
"It's not meant to taste good. It's meant to help you." Madam Pomfrey replied. She took the goblet back and put it on the nightstand. "The teachers and I have decided you will return to school on Thursday. That seems like enough time for a funeral and staying with your parents afterwards to help each other with the pain. What do you think?"
Remus groaned. "I think I hate these excuses. I'm missing a lot of school."
Madam Pomfrey smiled sadly and placed a comforting hand on Remus's shoulder. "You're smart. You'll catch up and I'm sure your friends will help you a lot. Now get some rest."
"Yes ma'am." Remus replied groggily.
Thursday morning, Remus made his way sleepily to the Great Hall. He walked half-asleep down the table to his friends. He sat across from Sirius. "Hi guys."
"Morning." Peter greeted.
"Welcome back." James said.
Sirius just nodded his head since his mouth was full of food.
Remus looked at each of his friends and laughed. "I see you haven't found a solution to your color problems. Though it does look like the colors are fading."
The three boys glared at Remus.
"Is there a solution to this?" James asked.
Remus smiled. "Of course. You just got to look for it. If you don't look for it, then the color fades in a week."
"You could have told us that before we left." Peter whined. "People have been mocking us all week and singing that song to us that we sang before you left."
Sirius leaned in closer to Remus's face. "The Slytherins have especially been laughing at us. I don't like that. We are suppose to be embarrassing the Slytherins, not the other way around."
"Then do a prank against them." Remus replied, pushing Sirius out of his face.
"We will. As soon as you fix us." James growled.
"Fine. There's a potion you can do." Remus said. "I don't have time to do it because I have three days of work to catch up on." He pulled his potion book out of his bag and flipped to the right page. He showed the potion to his friends. "You can do it tonight while I'm at the library."
"What are you going to the library for?" Sirius asked.
Remus looked at him like he was an idiot. "I have three days of work and today's work to get done."
Peter smiled. "I have notes for you. Apparently it was my turn to take notes for you."
"You just love leaving school, Remus. Wish I could miss as much school as you do." Sirius added.
James shrugged his shoulders. "It's not like he'll miss any more school, right Remus?"
Remus paled and looked down at his plate. "I-I h-hope not."
Sirius looked at Remus suspiciously, but didn't comment. He looked at James, who looked just as suspicious. Peter just looked oblivious to it all.
"You probably won't. What are the chances that someone will have to go home that much in one year?" Peter said.
Remus didn't reply. He just kept looking at his plate.
It wasn't until it was time to get to class that he looked up. James had grabbed his arm and was dragging him out of the Great Hall. "Time for class, unless you want to get a detention?" James said.
"Oh." Remus whispered, pulling his arm free.
Remus had to spend the whole weekend in the library to catch up on all his work. Lily helped him a little on Thursday and Friday, but Remus ordered her to leave him alone on the weekend. He didn't want her have to spend the whole weekend in the library. She deserved time to relax so Remus made her leave him alone while he worked.
The young werewolf even fell asleep in the library Saturday night and never made it back to the his dorm. Madam Pince, the strict librarian found the sleeping boy in the corner of the library at a table with books surrounding him. As strict as she was, Madam Pince didn't have the heart to wake him up and tell him that it was past curfew. She, like all the teachers, knew about his lycanthropy and knew that he missed three days of school. He spent the last few days in the library all day after classes. Madam Pince sighed and left Remus to sleep. She locked up the library and went to her room.
Remus woke up the next day surprised to find himself still in the library. Shrugging, Remus went back to the mountain of homework he still had to do. He spent the whole day in the library working on his homework. Lily came in at lunch time to help him, but Remus shooed her away saying that only one of them should have to spend their weekend like this. She protested, but Remus insisted that she go enjoy her weekend for the both of them.
"Hey Evans!" James called to Lily after dinner.
Lily looked up from her book and glared at him. "What?"
"Is Remus still in the library?" James asked.
"Yeah." Lily replied. "Did you see him at any meals today or yesterday?"
James shook his head. "That stupid prat is starving himself."
"Want to go find him and take him to the kitchen? He needs to eat." Sirius said.
"Yes, let's. Then after we're sure he's okay after a whole weekend of starvation and studying, I'm going to yell at him for being an idiot." James growled. He led Sirius and Peter out of the Common Room and to library.
Lily smiled and went back to her book. She may not like Potter, Black, or Pettigrew, but she thought they understood the meaning of friendship and cared a lot for each other.
James glared at the library doors. "I hate libraries. I can't believe we have to go in there."
Sirius took a deep breath. "Come on. Let's get this over with."
"You make it sound like we are going to die." Peter said.
Sirius turned to glare at him. "This is a library. It will one day kill us."
Peter rolled his eyes. "Sure it will."
James grabbed Peter's and Sirius's arms and dragged them into the library. "We have to get Remus now."
James marched over to the corner of the library where Remus always worked. He saw Remus engrossed in a book and writing something down on the parchment next to his paper every few minutes. James slammed his hand on the table to get his friend's attention.
Remus jumped in shock and dropped his quill. He looked at his friends surprised. "What are you guys doing in here? You never come to the library unless you really have to."
"What are we doing here?" James growled, making Remus flinch.
"You've been in this library since yesterday. You haven't come to any meals. You're starving yourself." Sirius snarled.
Remus twisted his hands together. "I'm not starving myself. I just have a lot of homework I need to get done. I have two more essays and questions to answer for Transfiguration. I don't have time to eat."
Sirius hit Remus in the back of his head. "You need to eat. You'll pass out if you don't eat."
Remus rubbed his head. "Ow."
James started packing all of Remus's books, parchments, quill, and ink bottle into his bag.
"What are you doing, James?" Remus snarled, grabbing his bag from James.
James grabbed the bag back and continued putting stuff back in it. "No more. You need a break, Remy."
"I'm fine." Remus snapped, making to grab his bag, but Sirius stepped in and grabbed his wrist.
"No Remy. You don't need to get it all done right now. The professors will understand if you don't turn in all your work tomorrow. You need to stop. You've been working ever since you came back. Come on. You need to eat." Sirius said, pulling Remus out of the library with James and Peter following.
They took Remus to the kitchen and told the house elves to bring him a lot of food. Remus was forced to stay in the kitchen until he ate all the food that the house elves brought him.
"There, I ate. Can I go back to the library now?" Remus asked.
James raised a brow. "Do you think we dragged you out of the library just so you can eat and go back to the library? No, we didn't. You are resting for the rest of the night. You can finish your work tomorrow."
"But…" Remus started.
"No buts." Sirius snapped.
"Time to rest." James declared, dragging Remus out of the kitchen and back to their dorm.
A few days later, Remus was laying on his beds, flipping through Hogwarts A History while his friends were talking about how to get revenge against the Slytherins for laughing and mocking James, Sirius, and Peter for the prank that Remus pulled on them. He sat up on his bed when he read one part of the book.
"Hey guys, did you know that if boys try to get into the girls' dorm that stairs turn into slides?" Remus asked.
"We don't care, Remy." Sirius said. "But it is good to know that we can't get up there. Now we won't embarrass ourselves."
Remus rolled his eyes. "That's the point. Apparently guys can't be trusted so they made the stairs do that. But that's not my point in mentioning this."
"Then get to the point." James said.
"You want revenge against the Slytherins, right?" Remus asked.
James grinned. "I think I know where you're going with this."
It took them a week to find the spell and to master it.
The next morning after the four friends mastered the spell, they skipped breakfast and split up around the school. They went their own way and put the spell on every few staircases. Not all of them. That would be no fun. If they put them on every few staircases then the Slytherins won't know which ones are booby trapped for them.
When they were done, the four boys went to the Great Hall to get some breakfast before it ended. After breakfast they left with the other students and watched the Slytherins try to climb the stairs. All the Slytherins on the stairs only got up a few steps before they turned into a slide and the Slytherins fell down them.
"It worked." James said, grinning.
"Yeah. Now let's get to class." Remus replied, pulling James up the steps.
When everyone saw the marauders climb the stairs, they started climbing them as well. The Slytherins tried climbing them again, only for them to turn into slides again.
After that, everyone figured out that the stairs only turned into slides for the Slytherins and they laughed at them, before heading off to class.
Eventually, the professors figured out what was happening with the stairs and why all the Slytherins weren't in class. McGonagall cast the counter-curse on the stairs in the Entrance Hall, thinking those stairs were the only ones with the charm on them.
Dumbledore announced what was going on at dinner time to the students, who wanted to know what was going on with the stairs. "It seems that someone has cast a Glisseo Charm on the staircases so the Slytherin students couldn't climb them. If anyone knows who did this please tell me or any of the other professors." At this, Dumbledore looked at James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, while McGonagall glared at them.
Sirius laughed. "Why are you looking at us?"
"You four already have a record and you would do something like this." Dumbledore said, amused.
"We don't even know what the…Glisseo(?) Charm is." James said.
Bilius smiled. "It's a third year charm anyway, Professor. Do you really expect these four to be able to do it?"
"It wouldn't surprise me, Mr. Weasley. These four would spend their time learning extra spells just to pull a prank." Dumbledore replied.
"Well, we would, sir. But unfortunately, we aren't the ones who pulled this prank." Remus said, glad that he was getting a little bit better at lying, but lying to the Headmaster wasn't something he really enjoyed doing.
Dumbledore smiled, his eyes twinkling. "If you say so, Mr. Lupin."
Soon after, the students left the Great Hall and went back to whatever they do.
"Liar." James yelled, pointing at Remus as soon as they were in their dorm.
"Hmm?" Remus replied.
"You used your honest, respectable student status to get Dumbledore to believe you." Sirius explained. "He acted like he didn't believe us and then you jump in and he believes you."
"Well, I have a better record than you two." Remus said. "So, of course, he'll believe me over you two."
James rolled his eyes. "Right. But we could do with the detentions for our contest."
Remus sighed. "You guys are still doing that competition?"
"Yes, and so are you." Sirius replied.
Remus groaned.
A/N: Please review!
Again, I'm not writing Quidditch games. I'm going to say this in every single chapter that there is a Quidditch game.
Any spells or potions in my stories that aren't real spells in the harry potter world are what the spell does in a foreign language, most likely Latin.
I will admit this. I always found the oompa loompas creepy. So I have no idea why I used them as a prank.
Okay, so not much happened in this chapter. I think I should explain something. I'm going to do dedicate at least one chapter to each month, except maybe July and August since that is summer. But anyway, some months may have more than one chapter. It depends on how much happens in that month. Like December has a full moon and Christmas, so it might have 2 or 3 chapters. Just so you know.
