Chapter 1

Remus' POV

"C'mon Moony!" James exclaimed. I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head once again.

"We don't need another person in this friend
group! Three is perfectly fine. A triangle! Which,
might I add, is proven to be the strongest sh-"I
started but he cut me off with a loud groan.

"Just give him a chance," He pleaded.
"Pleaseeeee?"

I groaned but eventually gave in. He'd been
begging me to let Black join our friend group for 2 weeks straight, ever since the Black kid pulled, to put into James' words, "such a good prank I wish I had though of that! Moony why didn't we think of that? Ugh!". It was very annoying, might I add.

James strutted (a/n: yes yes he did strut) over to
Black with a grin plastered on his face. He sat down
in front of the tree, next to Sirius who was drawing,
I can only assume he was drawing the Forbidden
Forest or the Black Lake, but that doesn't matter
currently.

Sirius looked up from his drawing, his eyebrow
raised at James. They talked for a while before
Sirius made his way over here with James, his
sketch pad clutched close to his chest. I internally
groaned at his success as James introduced us.

Sirius' POV

I could obviously hear them talking about me.
They're not very quiet or cautious of their
surrounding, but I just carried on with my artwork.

Surprisingly to most people, I like to draw realistic
portraits of people, so I was working on drawing
the kid with golden hair and scars on his face.
Gotta admit he was pretty hot.

"Ahem," I heard someone clear their throat above
me. I looked up with a raised eyebrow. "James
Potter." He stated clearly, sticking out his hand to
shake mine. I looked at him hand and then
continues my drawing.

"What do you want? If you're here to contradict me
or say something about my appearance or some
other bullshit, you can fuck off." I stated, harshly.

"Who hurt you? I just wanted to ask if you wanted
to join our friend group." I laughed lightly as he
talked.

"What's in it for me?" I asked, looking up from my
drawing. He gave me a 'seriously?' face which a
dryly chuckled to.

"More pranks, friends, Hogsmeade candies galore-
He started but, I would never admit it, I didn't
really need to hear his explanation because even
though I liked being alone, I didn't like to be lonely.
And currently, my brother hates me because I left
him with my mother and father, if I can even call
them that, when I ran away from home.

"Fine." I stated flatly and his lips formed a wide
grin. I couldn't help myself from letting a small
smile tug at my lips.

He walked closer to me and I quickly shut my
drawing book so he couldn't see I was drawing his
friend. It's kinda stalkerish and I don't want to lose
my first friend here.

We walked over to his friend and he introduced
me.

"Moony, this is Sirius," James said, shoving me
ahead. "Sirius this is Moony.

"It's Remus, not Moony. Only my friends call me
Moony." He stated. I nodded, getting the hint that
he doesn't necessarily like me. Hopefully I could
change that.

"Okay. Sirius Black." I said, sticking my hand out.

"Oh, so you shake his hand but not mine? I'm
offended!" James said dramatically, gasping. I
rolled my eyes with a smile and hit him playfully on
the shoulder.

We made our way to the Great Hall for lunch as
James made horrible jokes. Remus and I just
laughed along. Actually, let me rephrase that. I
laughed alongside Remus kind of just stood there
because he seems a bit bitter about me joining the
group. I shrugged it off as we sat down to eat our
food.

After we finished eating our food and joking
around, we headed back to our dorms. I never
really spent much time there, I usually slept in the
common room or something. Or I turned to my
Animigus and slept in the woods.

It was surprisingly peaceful there, but no one could know about that. But since I made friends, why not sleep in my dormitory. It did take me a while to convince myself that I should sleep in the dormitories because I've been having continuous nightmares, but I waved it off and decided I should spend more time with my new friends.

"Is this a record player? What records do you
have?" I asked as I made my way over to it. Remus
rushed over and stood between me and the record
player.

"Out of bounds. You can't touch that." He said as
he tried to block the record player.

"Oh. Sorry I guess." I trailed off and turned back
around to see James sitting on his bed. I leaned
onto mine and spread my limbs out.

"Why don't you ever usually sleep in the
dormitory?" Remus asked suspiciously. I rolled my
eyes at his suspicion.

"Never wanted to I guess. I usually sleep in the
common room." I replied.

He let go of the topic while James reached under
his bed to grab some candy for us to eat before we
went to bed. Remus pulled out a book and read
silently as James and I threw random items at each
other, trying to catch them.

After a while we both got tired and started getting ready for bed, after all tomorrow was a Monday so more classes.

"Good night Siri." James said from across the
room.

"Night." I replied and pulled myself under the
warm covers which are much more comfortable
than the blankets in the common room I turned off
my lamp and laid my head down on my pillow.

Remus stayed quiet but I knew he wasn't asleep. I
shrugged it off and went to bed, unaware of the
night's events.
