The Marauders

Chapter 7

***Gonna make the chapters longer***

James sat outside the door. The floor was pretty cold so he wrapped his robes around himself. He was so happy his trick on Sirius worked. That was hilarious. Sirius totally freaked out when he told him the time. But there was a downside to it all, Sirius still got breakfast. He should have waked him earlier so Sirius would have to wait for breakfast to start.

James stood up. He picked up his books and head back to the Great Hall. He thought it was kind of stupid to be sitting outside a classroom at 6:00am. So he got up off the ground and walked to get more breakfast. He entered the Hall he slid next to Sirius.

"Hey buddy", said James.

"Hey. Get tired sitting outside the classroom, aren't you?", asked Sirius.

"Yeah", said James, "It gets pretty boring, and I really didn't want to look like a dork."

"I understand man."

"Yeah. I was also still hungry."

"Uphhum",said Sirius as he was stuffing his mouth with bacon.

James piled some eggs and bacon on his plate. He ate slowly to make time move faster. First class started at 7:30 Well he thought, "I have a lot of time."

30min later Remus and Peter walked through and slipped in across from James and Sirius.

Remus didn't question why Sirius was up so early. James had let him on the plan. Peter looked confused but he didn't say anything because Remus didn't say anything. Remus and Peter started to pile their plates with food. They ate and talked amongst themselves till 7:20 because they wanted some time to make it to class without running.

Sirius and James started to head back up to class. Remus and Peter had their class together so they went a separate way.

"Don't you think it was weird that none of them asked why we were so early",asked Sirius.

"....yeah.."

"It's as if they knew why. Well as if Remus knew why, Peter just looked very confused. Did you tell Remus?"

"Ummm.....yeah. But he thought I wasn't going to go through with the plan. So....yeah."

"Hmmmm...."

"Sorry man."

"It's alright. Lets hurry we are going to be late."

Sirius and James entered right when the bell made it's deafening ring.

...

Classes went on, boring as ever, Sirius sleeping, Remus yelling at him to wake up, then the bell, then lunch came.

...

"Hey guys",said Sirius as he slid next to his new friends.

"Hey," said Remus.

"Hey", squeaked Peter.

"Hey. Who is James staring at?", asked Sirius.

They all followed James's eyes to a girl with a full head of red hair.

"Hey isn't that that Evans girl we saw at the train station?", asked Sirius.

"Yup", said Remus.

"Well it looks as if James is in looovvveee."

James came out of his trance with a face anger

"Hey!!"

"Ha. What you doing? Got a little drool coming off your lip."

"Shut up", said James.

"Haha", said Sirius.

"I said shut up man."

"HAHA"

"Alright enough Sirius stop bothering him. Just let him drool. She's too good for him anyway", said Remus.

"Fine", said Sirius.

...

THE NEXT DAY

...

The 4 boys were sitting under the shade of their favorite tree near the big lake. It was a sunny day. And they finished all of their homework.

James Potter was staring across the others and looking at a certain redhead, Lily Evans. He watched her all the time. He liked her since the first time he saw her which was like, literally, a few days ago. He was always calculating ways in his head on how to get her to go out with him. Just none of them seemed good enough. None of them would grab her attention. He never knew this would be so hard. How would this ever work?

Sirius sat under the shade. Picking at the slippery blades of green grass next to him. James was drooling again at Evans. Poor boy. That girl is way out of his league. He was having a good time. So relaxing. Finished his homework, or at least most of it. Remus reading a book. Probably for school. And Peter....only god knows what...

Remus sat on top of green grass underneath the shade of a big tree with thick leaves. He looked to his left and saw Sirius twirling blades of grass in his fingers. He look relaxed, as usual. He looked even further. James was literally drooling onto his lap. This has been the 10th time today he caught him staring at Lily. Yeah only he and Lily were on a first name bases. Peter to his right, was looking into the bright sky. It looked like he was looking into the clouds. But there was no clouds, so, he must be thinking. And he, himself, was reading a book he got from the library. It was about werewolves. He was trying to find ways to make the transformation delayed or make it hurt less. But it looked like there was nothing to help him. And he was afraid to ask his friends for help because what if they didn't want to be friends with him because he was a werewolf. He had to help himself.

Peter was sitting next to his friends. He was staring up into the cloudless sky. He was thinking about how he was so happy to have friends. And how happy he got accepted into Hogwarts. He was wearing a happy expression on his face and staring up into the sky. No one would know what he was thinking, or really doing. He just felt very relaxed.

The 4 boys lazed around all afternoon having a good time.
