Hi so this is going to be written by changing the characters points of views so that you can see their emotions and have their unique opinions on situations!

~REMUS'S POV~

I was walking to the dormitories after my first Hogwarts feast, and was hoping that the people in my dorm were actually nice. Walked in and saw the people that I had seen at the feast, James Potter and Sirius Black and believe it or not, the boy who I had met on the train Peter Pettigrew. 

I was a bit worried at first but I hoped that we could be friends and that they would eventually accept who I am. A werewolf. Obviously not that I'm ever going to intentionally tell them that considering who knows how they'll react. For all I know it could bring harm to both them and me and that's the last thing I want, or need.

But anyways, the room is getting a bit uncomfortable with all this silence, I guess it's time to introduce myself. "Hi... erm my name is Remus Lupin, it's nice to meet all of you," thankfully after that James and Peter seemed to recognise me. Both of them smiled and said it was good to see me again. I now turned to Sirius to gage his reaction, he was staring at me with his steel grey eyes, he said nothing. All he did was nodi in acknowledgement and turn away. My parents had warned me about this sort of behaviour, they warned me of pure bloods, specifically the Black family though. They said that the family was too stuck up and power hungry for their own good. I just had to hope that he would be better than them and not care about my blood status, he had been put in Gryffindor and not Slytherin for a reason right?

The first full moon that I will experience away from home and my parents is coming up soon so I am feeling unwell. So I went started getting ready for bed not bothering to make any more conversation.

~SIRIUS' POV~

I was surprised to see Remus sorted into Gryffindor because he seems the big nerd type and now I have to share a dorm with him. This is so not fair! I mean at least this gives me a chance to copy someones good homework answers when I need to.

At the feast Remus had looked happy and ready for anything but now that he was getting ready for bed he looked all skinny, frail and pale like he is ill. I wonder what is happening to him to make him change like this... Never mind, it is probably just my imagination, I'm just going to go to bed, I am clearly too tired to think properly.

~THIRD PERSON'S POV~

All of the boys woke up for their lessons and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. While they were down there they were given their timetables and off they went on their first day. Their lessons were fun, even by Sirius's standards. the lessons continued to be enjoyable like this for the whole of the first week while the students settled in. Everyone had a great time, well apart from Remus.

~REMUS'S POV~

Lessons are great, better than I expected even! But I can't carry on like this, people already think I'm the teacher's pet and we've barely been here for a week. My head is killing me, the full moon is now fast approaching and I think I'll only just manage tomorrows lessons but after that I will probably have to go to Madame Pomfrey.

I head up to my dorm to get some of my favourite chocolates that my mum gave me but they were gone! I'm outraged, I know that I can't have eaten them all already. I look around and there is a trail of wrappers leading to Peter's bed. I look at the bed and I can see the hangings are round the bed and I can hear all of the other boys whispering, laughing and is that unwrapping... chocolates?! I feel so betrayed, I thought they were nice, well apart from Sirius who keeps giving me funny looks. 

James peers round the curtains of Peter's bed and spots me, he clearly notices before I do that there are tears running down my face. That was all of what my mum had given me for the term and I only allow myself to have them when I'm missing her or feeling rough from a full moon. I was in need because of both of them today. THEY HAVE TAKEN AWAY MY COMFORT!   James had better realise as much.

~JAMES'S POV~

I peer out of the hangings because I think I hear something moving about in the dorm. When I look I realise it's Remus, he gas clearly noticed that the chocolates are missing, he has clearly noticed where they are and knows that he's staring at one of the culprits, me. 

He has tears in his eyes, threatening to spill onto his face. when they spill over he barely even registers it. It's then that I realise that as silly as it may seem to some, those chocolates mean something to him and there is something he isn't telling us. I don't want to say anything to him now though because there's no way Sirius would ever let him live this down. I close the hangings around the bad again and tell t eh others I must've been hearing things and that there was no one in here but us because I feel like I owe Remus his privacy. I know that me and the others aren't exactly friends with Remus but it would be wrong to let the others see him like this after what we did. He gets bullied enough in class as it is, mostly by Sirius but the rest of the class and I can get a bit out of hand when it comes to joining in. I have resolved to somehow make it up to him one day.
