The Journal of Remus Lupin

Day 24

James, Sirius, and Peter found nothing suspicious about my excuse.  Peter told me to tell my mum to get well soon. Classes are great. I’m not so good at astrology though. James has this thing for another Gryffindor named Evans. I forgot her first name. It was related to a flower. Lavender? Lilac? No, Lily! Yeah, Lily Evans. James won’t stop talking about her and trying to get her attention. Another thing he won’t stop talking about is his dream of being on the Gryffindor quidditch team soon.  She seems to hate him though. She hangs out with this Slytherin guy named Severus Snape. I have come to find out that people in Slytherin aren’t really that nice.

I met some of them at the hallways, they were a group. I believe their names were Avery, Mulciber, and the Bellatrix. Bellatrix is Sirius’ cousin. They are nothing alike though. They were saying something about my robes. I know that’s a petty thing to be embarrassed over, but my robes are second hand. They are a bit shabby, and my books are mostly second hand, but I never really felt embarrassed about that until now. Nah! That’s nothing to feel bad over. I really should be thankful that I’m actually here in the first place. Professor Slughorn, teaches Potions in an odd way. Lily Evans, Severus Snape, and I are the top in his class. Yes, we have potions with the Slytherins.

Oh Gosh! I have a potions essay to finish! How could I be so careless? Then again, we used James’ invisibility cloak (don’t ask) to sneak out and explore a while ago. I guess some of my friend’s marauder-like qualities are rubbing off on me. Marauder, hmm… I better look that up in a dictionary. It sounds like a word that would describe them. I have to check on that. Wait! Why am I still writing? I have an essay to work on!
