CHAPTER 17

"So it is a diary!" Sirius exclaimed, the four boys are currently sitting on the best armchairs in the common room, which was crowded and full of yawns of drowsy people doing their homework at the last minute,

"Is it really wise to read other people's diaries? Especially Evans's?" Remus said, rather reasonably, "I mean, what will happen when she finds out?"

"Yeah, she'll skin you when she finds out!" Peter said, with a rather feared expression, "She'll skin us! She'll skin me too!"

"Don't worry, I think Lily is too much of a teacher's pet to skin you," James said, "It violates about 100 Hogwarts school rules,"

"What are you guys talking about?" Lily had turned and walked towards them when she heard their name, and seeing their guilty faces, she's not happy,

"N..nothing!" Peter squeaked, and ran towards the boys dormitory, being very suspicious,

"Why do you want to know?" Sirius asked with a sly grin, "Have you finally decided to accept James's pursuit?"

"No!" Lily said, and turned away,

"That was close!" James whispered, and pulled the notebook out from behind him, he stuffed it behind him, sandwiched between the armchair and his back, in his hurry to keep it hidden from Lily,

"Right, let's read it," Sirius said and reached out for the book,

"I think we should read it in our dorm, there's too many people here,"

"Right, let's go,"

They climbed up the stairs and entered their dorm, after waking Peter, they sat around a circle on James's bed and opened the notebook,

"Today is the first day of my life at Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry," James read out loud, "I am so excited, Petunia was so mean when she threatened to stop talking to me and tell Mum and Dad about Sev when I said I was going,"

"Sev?" Sirius asked, "She means Snivellus? I don't believe it, her parents didn't approve of Snivellus! But she's still friends with him!"

"I can understand what her parents are thinking about him, dirty, weird, kid with greasy hair, bad influence on young ladies," James said,

"And that's true, Lily's parent's concerns are true," Sirius said, "Continue reading, if you will,"

"I am so nervous, it's 5 in the morning and I can't sleep, I'm practicing writing with a quill and my handwriting looks so weird, I don't know what to do, I'm freaking out!"

"Wow, I didn't know that Evans is the type to get nervous before the first day of school, though I guess everyone would be if you are leaving your parents and friends for a school you have no idea where and have no idea what it's like, since you're a muggleborn,"

"Yeah," James said, and flipped the page, "This is three days from the first entry,"

"The first week was fun, we went on a boat to pass the giant lake with a very tall men called Hagrid, he talks with a accent and he seems very nice and kind,"

"James, I think this is where you come in the story,"

"I met this Potter kid, he's so annoying, he rocked his boat that he shared with three other guys, I'm pretty sure that Black kid was rocking the boat too, and the shorter guy fell out of the boat and the one with scars helped him climb on the boat with the help of a the giant squid. Then that Potter kid started arguing with Sev because he was telling me that I would want to be in Slytherin, but judging by the sound of things from Alice (I met her on the train), I would not want to be in Slytherin, and good thing I ended up in Gryffindor, bad thing that Potter got in Gryffindor too,"

"It's not a surprise! Everyone in the Potter family went to Gryffindor, you told everyone who would listen about it!" Remus said, reading over his shoulder,

"Yeah..."

"Professor McGonagall seems nice enough, but very strict, Professor Slughorn said that I'm very good at Potions, Sev is also very good, we're so getting an O!"

"I don't think there's any point reading about her daily life, I really have to go now, it's nearly full moon,"

"Oh, right, you can go to bed, I'll leaf through it-"

"More like studying every single word under the covers and kissing every dot and crosses," Sirius interrupted,

"-and I'll show you what is important when you get your sleep and your furry little problem is out,"

"Sure thing, thanks Prongs,"

"I'm sure this is not a problem," Sirius interrupted again, "I'm sure Prongs wants to spend some alone time with Lily Evans's diary,"

"Oh, shut up you,"

They all got into their respective beds and closed the curtains around them, James silently muttered lumos and read through the diary, turning the pages carefully as if treating a new born baby.
