Singing Prankster| James Potter

Chapter 9

(Oct. 6, 1974, Sunday)

Ellie's P.O.V.

It was the day after the Hogsmeade trip. I feel like I have gotten so much closer to the boys during that time. I get up from my bed to go and get breakfast. I was lucky enough that I didn't have to share a room with anyone. So I was able to decorate my room however I wanted without worrying about other people. I ended up adding more stuff to my room like my trophies and medals I got from winning singing gigs. And I have lots of quidditch stuff on my walls now as well. I look to the left of my bed to see Crystal sleeping on her bed. I let her rest instead of bothering her. And continue to look around my room. At the foot of my bed, I added a large chest that mostly contains all the stuff I use to prank people. In the corner of my room, there is a large bookshelf filled to the brim with lots of my favorite books. And next to the bookshelf, there is a fireplace that has 5 beanbags in front of it. When I look up at the ceiling it shows the sky which I love at night because I can see all the stars. My room was truly my favorite place to chill out in. So I'm a little bummed that I have to leave my safe haven. But I'm really hungry so I'm going to have to leave.

I walk down into the common room to see the marauders minus Remus hanging around the fireplace whispering to each other.

"Hello, boys, where is Remus?" I asked looking around the common room a little.

"Oh umm he is still upstairs resting," Sirius said a little rushed. 

"Really? That's really hard to believe, is he okay?" I say worried. 

"Y-yea...Yea, he is okay" Peter stutters out nervously. Almost like he was hiding something.
James nudged Peter. 

"It seems that he might be coming down with something," James hurriedly said to fix Peter's mistake.

"Hm maybe I can make him something to feel better," I mumbled to myself mostly but still loud enough that the boys can hear.

From what I have observed Remus is definitely hiding something. Which I'm guessing the boys know about by the way they reacted. But if I can guess it was probably because the full moon is coming soon. I, of course, knew that Remus was a werewolf the second I saw him. So I can get why the boys wouldn't tell me what is wrong with Remus. They were just protecting him. Maybe I can give him some of the Wolfsbane I made for another friend of mine that is a werewolf. Which reminds me that I have to send it out to that person. Luckily I made a lot by accident. But how do I give it to Remus?

"Is Remus going to stay in bed for the day?" I asked worried for my friend.

"No, he'll be coming down soon, we were just letting him rest for a little longer" James replied with a small lopsided grin.

Right when that was said. I hear someone coming down the stairs. We all turn a little to see that Remus was slowly making his way down the stairs. To put it lightly, Remus looked like shit. I put my hand in my pocket to search for something. And when I found it, I handed it to Remus.
"Here have some chocolate," I smile brightly at him. I can see how Remus's eyes started to sparkle a little.

"Thank you so much" Remus cheerily said to me. And his once sorrowful face lit up with joy.

"No problem, wanna head to the Great Hall now?" I asked the boys. Who nodded in return and got up to make their way to the Great Hall.

The walk to the Great Hall mostly consisted of Sirius and James going back and forth about who was the best professional quidditch player and me adding my input which got me involved with the fight. And if James can finally get Lily to stop rejecting him. Which James would put Sirius in a headlock. Also, we ended up getting stopped by someone who was a really big fan of mine.

"You know, I forgot that you were famous," Sirius looks at me with wonder and excitement. "Oh my Merlin, I'm friends with a famous person."

I just shake my head and laugh a little at Sirius.

"Umm... Ellie, do you... I would like...Can I have your autograph," Sirius says sheepishly. While he nervously scratches his neck. I look at Sirius and full-on start laughing. "Why did... hahaha... why did you ask like that. No need to be so nervous. Of course, I'll give you my autograph." I give him a big smile.

Once we made it to the Great Hall, I immediately sat down and started to pile lots of different foods onto my plate. To say that I was hungry was an understatement. 

"Don't eat so fast, you'll choke on your food," James told me worriedly. I just flash James a smile and continue to not listen to his advice. Out of the corner of my eye, I see James shake his head and sigh with a small smile on his face. 

The sound of flapping wings fills up the Great Hall. Everyone looks up to see that the owls are making their way to the person they have a letter for. I see my house owl start to make its way towards me. And I have a really bad feeling about this letter. My parents never really send me letters. But I should have known that me getting into Gryffindor was going to get to them sooner or later. I give Zully, my house owl's name, some bread, and some pats for making the long travel over to Hogwarts.  I take the letter from her leg and watch her fly off. I debate with myself if I should open the letter now or later when I go back to my room. I decided to briefly read it now. Hoping it's nothing too serious. The more I read through the letter the more I feel sour about everything being said.  Maybe I should have read this later. But if I did I probably would have destroyed my room. 

I quickly put the letter away so that I can read it again and hopefully not be as angry later on. Out of the corner of my eye, I see that James was looking at me and seemed to notice that I got upset. 

"You okay Ellie?" James cutely tilted his head to the side. His glasses slipped a little down the slope of his nose. And I had such a big urge to push the glasses back up for him. What the merlin am I thinking. "Yea, I'm good just family stuff you know" I just chuckle a little while looking down at my hands. Sirius laughs at what I said. "Yea I definitely know." 

I look over to Remus to see if he looks any better. Not going to lie, I'm kind of scared of how he would react if I were to give him the Wolfsbane. I should really give it to him now though, he doesn't look good. I don't know what to do. I search through my bag looking for the potion still debating if I should give it to him now. I'll give it to him later when no one is around. And even though no one is really around us now I don't want to risk it.
