I think something weird is going on with Remus. He hasn't been in classes the last couple days, and he says he's sick or something, but ever since we started school last year, he's been missing a couple days every month. Whenever I ask him about it, he just says he gets sick a lot, or he has to visit his ill mother and then he changes the subject. I don't know. It's weird.

In other news, Peter doesn't hang out with us at all anymore. Unfortunately, I think he's just making James want to do more mischief. They've been playing non-step pranks on people since September, and Peter's just increased their brain power. Not good. Not for the rest of us anyway. Remus has started sitting with them in the Common Room in the evenings too, doing his homework with them and everything. Mostly they just talk, and he listens while he does his work. I mean, he's always got on well with them, even last year, but I don't see why he would want to hang out with them. I guess maybe because they're guys, and they have more in common with him or something. Although, I can't see what he could possibly have in common with those two gits. Ugh.

It's just, they're so mean to poor Sev. Sirius really isn't all that bad on his own. Although, I do feel like he's always trying to impress me or something. But anyway, it's James I can't stand. He's just so cocky and such a jerk. He's always saying the meanest things to Sev and making fun of him and playing pranks on him. I feel terrible about it but I don't know what to do! Even Peter's started hexing him and teasing him.

Lily says I should just tell them to stop because Sirius would do anything I asked, but I don't see why that would be true. I have told them not to be so mean to him, but Lily says I have to ask him especially, make it like he'd be doing me a favour. She thinks he fancies me is why. But that's seriously ridiculous.

Anyway, I just hope they lay off Sev soon. It's really upsetting Lily and I feel terrible for him. We're not the closest friends or anything, but that doesn't mean they should treat him the way they all do.
