We're coming home { A marauders novel}

1

It's been raining for six hours straight, quidditch practice had been cancelled which had James on edge for the whole evening.

"It's been raining all day! I need to get training in before the match against the Slytherins!" James wailed as Remus, and I focused on following people around on the marauder's map. We focused on Crouch and baby Regulus, trying to figure out if they were stuck in the closet next to the great hall since they weren't moving and were very close.

After a few minutes, James had calmed down and watched over our shoulder as Lily Evans, his crush since 3Rd year wandered around the girl's dorms.

"Your all-proper creeps, ye know that?" Peter gave voice to his very unnecessary thoughts. James huffed and sat down in the middle of us, squishing poor moony into the arm of the sofa.

We had given each other nicknames based on our Animagi, mine was Padfoot because my animagi was a black dog, which fitted well since my last name is Black and My name is after the 'dog star' constellation. James was a stag, so Pete came up with the nickname 'prongs', and Pete was a rat so he's nickname was 'worm tail' which is self-explanatory. We had set out to become Animagi in 5th year after finding out our Moony was a werewolf. It was a bit tense at first, but everyone is used to it by now since it's been a year.

James kept watch on the map after snatching it out of my hands. I pushed myself up off the sofa and stood by the fire, rubbing my hands together to warm them up. Winter had just started, and it was already freezing in the common room but even colder in the classrooms, the professors just didn't seem to feel the chill, or they were just too much of an ass to light the fires in the classrooms.

I took a quick glance at the door as Lily fucking Evans strutted in along with her possie. It was bad enough that poor James was swooning and talking about her 24/7 but the fact she was friends with Snivellus? So much worse.

James's head quickly snapped in her direction, so fast I thought his head would fall off and roll to my feet. Remus let out a quiet chuckle which turned my attention straight to him, I watched him for a second before Pete snapped me out of it by shifting into a rat and running over Evans's shoes, causing her and her friends to scream and jump. I let out a loud laugh along with a snort from James who tried to keep it in but failed miserably. Moony just smiled and rolled his eyes as Pete ran up to the dorms before shifting back and casually walking out as the girls hurried up to their dorms to get away from the rat.

Pete sat beside James, holding his hand up for a high five, James shook his head as he made a ' nuh uh' noise which made Pete rolled his eyes, I quickly walked over and high-fived him.

"Lighten up a bit Prongs, it was just a small prank" I voiced as Pete nodded in agreement. Remus stayed quiet reading his book, or at least pretending to. I could see him looking at us from the corner of his eye as James spoke.

"It was good, believe me, Pete but knowing Evans she'll-" I cut him off as I rolled my eyes. "she'll blame us, yeah we know."

I squished myself in between James and moony as I sighed dramatically. "Poor jamesie is in Lovesee with a girl, how sad "

Remus let out a short laugh which made me smile and lean my head back to look at him. Those gold-amber eyes could light up a darkened cave along with that smile of his. The scar that ran over the right side of his lips caught my attention again, it was quite fresh along with another one on his hand. I let my gaze soften as he saw me staring at the one on his hand, he quickly pulled the sleeve of his red cardigan down and looked back at down at his book.

Moony was always insecure about his scars, we have tried to help but nothing has worked but to pretend to ignore them which we do. Anyway, we barely notice them unless they are fresh since we are so used to seeing them. I really wish I could help him, but he doesn't want help, he just wants to be alone after it happens. But we respect his wishes and just leave him be, he knows we are all here to help him if we need it and that's what matters, that he knows we are here.
