the Slytherins

18-

Grayson lupin-2nd year

The rest of summer was nice. I asked to go to some muggle shops and they took me. I bought a whole bunch of clothes and jewelry.

Sirius,James,Remus and Peter were a handful during the summer,they constantly wanted to pull me along with the random things they wanted to do.

I hate the heat so I tried to stay inside as much as possible.

When it was time to go back to Hogwarts,I asked Effie to make sure the protection spells were still on my photos and I played them carefully on the bottom of my trunk.

Effie takes us to the train.

Effie is one of the sweetest women I have ever met. She hugs you goodbye then watches you walk to the train until she can't see you.

She hugs me and James and we walk off to the train.

I enter and I automatically go to find regulus and the rest of them.

I see all three of them sitting there talking to one another.

I open the compartment door and walk in.

"Hello"I greet as I sit next to Regulus. "We were just talking about how our summer went,let me recap"Evan says.

"So Bartys father ignored him all summer which isn't different, regulus only got cursed by his parents twice which is a win and I had food poisoning that my parents refused to cure" Evan recaps the events of their summer.

"If I lived with my parents I could add to your guy's trauma dumping but I just scared the shit out of James all summer by jumping on him and making him pledge to Bowie all summer"I explain.

Yes the pledging to Bowie didint only happen once,I scared the shit out of James almost every morning.

"You are a weird lad"Evan laughs. "I'm not weird"I complain. Barty looks at me with a raised eyebrow and regulus is giving me the 'boy don't fucking lie'look.

"Ok fine but it was funny"I sighed.

The rest of the train ride was ok it consisted of me and Barty arguing over every topic and then regulus intervening with his wrong opinion then me and barty attacking him.

we made it to the Castle and went straight to the dining hall.

I watched as the first years houses got sorted. Me and barty would bet on what house they would get,barty won but that's not to be talked about.

My eyes connect to the now 3rd year boy, I give him a small smile.

"Sunnie,what has regulus been telling you,no swooning over your brothers friends!"Evan accuses.

"I'm not,I'm just looking"I reply.

"That is literally the same thing,fix yourself,your brother would probably kill peter if he looked at you like that"annoyance ringing of Evans tone.

"But he's pretty"I whisper.

"He's just blonde,that's what us blondes do,we make people swoon"Evan says dramatically.

"Yes you do"barty say quietly. I turn to barty,my eyebrow narrowed.

"What did you say?"I ask amused.

"I didn't say anything"

Liar

I ignore Bartys comment with the belief that he's talking about one of the blonde girls in our year.

"You need to be more open about your feelings Grayson,being so closed up is not safe"my therapist Laurie says.

I roll my eyes and sink back into the chair.
