First day

To Sirius' shock he was the first to awake, at exactly 6am, perfect. He got changed and woke the other 3 boys up since breakfast started in 30 minutes and they could all do with some energy today. Once all 4 boys were finally ready and Sirius corrected his hair after being on the brink of a break down when it wasn't 'perfect' they all headed down to breakfast. Thankfully, having 2 hours for breakfast meant both plenty of toast and plenty of time with Y/N before they had to separate for classes. Sat at the end of the Gryffindor table was Y/N who seemed to have been sat there forever waiting for the four Gryffindor's to arrive, or that was just the lack of sleep.

"SKINNER YOUR AWAKE" James screamed down towards the poor boy who seemed almost deafened.

"WELL DONE JAM YOU CAN SEE" He quietly yelled back as the four ran down to join him, everyone picked up their breakfast as Sirius started a conversation with the group.

"So Jam huh? Where'd the nickname  come from?" His first question was wondering how James got a nickname, he secretly wished he was granted with one too due to the craving of a close relationship with the small ginger boy, it turns out all four of the boys had one. They were a;; rather pleased with their nicknames no matter how simple they were, James was of course Jam, Sirius was Siri, Remus was Remmy and Peter was Pete.

"I just took off a few letters or added some, it was simple" he added after the list with a mouth full of toast. As the conversation continued Peter decided Y/N needed a nickname, which was honestly impossible to think of with those four choosing it. Finally after a long conversation Y/N was now dubbed as Y/N/N. The group of first years continued eating their breakfast preparing them for the day they had ahead, with today being the first day of lessons they were all secretly for an easy day. But their stress-free breakfast was abruptly ended by the clock hitting 8am and the 5 of them having to head to class. Unfortunately, with Y/N being in Hufflepuff he had to head to herbology while the 4 Gryffindor's had their first potions lesson with professor Slughorn.

"Well i best be off, can't be late already, i'll see you allot at lunch, we don't have any joint lessons before then" Y/N/N said with a tinge of nerves in his voice. Sirius recognised these nerves and offered for the other four boys to walk him which he gladly accepted. The four boys used remus' map that thankfully he hadn't thrown away just yet unlike all the other boys. After a long walk through multiple corridors and around many corners they finally found the gingers class, herbology with Slytherin.

"We'll wish me luck, I'll see you four at lunch, save me a seat and make it to ALL your lessons" he said before disappearing into the green house, now it was time for the remaining 4 Gryffindor's to find their potions class. After a long attempt of finding this class, they made their way into the dungeons entering the classroom hoping they weren't late. Finding a desk to make two pairs, Remus and James was at one desk in the back corner while Sirius and Peter had to sit at the front. Finally Slughorn entered the classroom, informing the class that this lesson will all be practical work. Sirius was excited to make potions every lesson yet Peter was convinced they would be doing reading work for the many lessons to come. As books flew across the room, one for each student, Professor Slughorn wrote the lessons objectives onto the board
'Cure for boils'
Peter looked towards the board feeling even more panicked, he had never read about this certain potion let alone know how to prepare it. Thankfully, Sirius had always enjoyed reading about potions whether it was writing or practicing simple potions, Sirius had always been impressed by potions. Leaving Pete on his own at the table, Sirius wandered towards the right side of the class room collecting the ingredients needed for their potion.

Dried nettles.6 snake fangs.4 horned slugs.2 porcupine quills

Slowly but surely Sirius taught Peter about what the potion was about, he researched as much as he could on every potion he knew, he was glad it was finally put to use. Towards the half way mark of the lesson 3 potions had failed, 6 had exploded and 1 had tipped over. That being James' and Remus'. The cauldron had managed to be hit off by a boy from Slytherin, Servus Snape, as he walked by.
