It Must Be Tonight (Save Me Tonight) Wolfstar

Avalanche

The following few days were spend with Remus and I organizing each others rooms and occasionally going into town to get anything we'd need for the room or school when it started. Which happens to be tomorrow, oh joy.

Most of the students arrive the Saturday before classes begin, Remus had been told the incorrect date by the admissions officer so he came a few days early, which was aloud, it just didn't happen often. Once he got here they made due and gave him a small tour of the campus and then let him to his rooms where he met me. I came back early because I didn't have much else better to do and it's interesting to see the campus vacant of life. I must say that now that Remus and I have gotten to know each other I'm quite glad that the campus didn't turn out to be completely vacant.

The night before classes started we made, well I made, he tried to help, a nice light curry dinner complete with wine and a chocolate cake I made earlier in the day to celebrate our last day of true freedom for a while. We were about to dish ourselves out some of the curry when there was a loud, insistent knocking at the door. Remus lifted an eyebrow in question and I just shrugged before setting the rice spoon down and walk to the door. The moment I begin to turn the handle the door bursts open and in barges James looking slightly pissed off. Peter followed behind looking a bit guilty, he begins to greet me but James cuts him off.

"And where the hell do you think you have been, huh?" James asks as he pushes me back slightly.

"Just here? Is there a problem that I don't know about?"

"'A problem' he says! Is there a problem? Well of course there bloody well is! You've been here for how long and you didn't see if we were back yet? How kind of you, what a great friend you are!"

Well, he sure seems pissed about this..

"I'm sorry James," I begin trying to sound as sincere as possible, " I seem to have lost track of time, I didn't know you were going to be back so soon I guess. I didn't intend to anger you."

James glares at me for a few seconds before he suddenly doubles over laughing.

"You.." he starts, but has to begin again because he's laughing too hard. "You actually believed that I was pissed! Oh my gosh, you should have seen the look in your eye! I'm bloody brilliant!"

"You bastard! I thought you were going to try to fight me or something stupid like that," I tell him pushing him slightly. "What a way to make an impression on my new friend to," I turn to Remus and say, "James, Peter, this is Remus, he's new here, freshmen like us. Remus, this is Peter and the git."

James smiles at my description of him, "The git wishes you well," he says as he takes an exaggerated bow. Remus gives me an 'is he serious look?' but responds with a "thank you."

"Okay James, there is no need to scare the newcomer," Peter says finally closing the door behind him, "it's nice to meet you Remus."

"You too."

"Okay, the pleasantries are out of the way, what are you cooking tonight Sir?" Asks James.

I put on an annoyed look and say, "Well I guess I know why you're friends with me them." I try to give my best pissed off look, but eventually fail and say "It's curry, and you jerks are lucky I made extra."

"Oooo curry! Yes!" exclaims James as he rushes over to the stove. "You make a damn good curry my friend."

"Leave enough for everybody James! There's cake too. And, again, you guys are lucky I keep a small collection of wine around, there's another bottle of Riesling in the fridge if we end up needing it."

"Perfect," James says as he brings out two more glasses, refills mine and Remus', and fils the other two for Peter and himself.

The rest of the night goes smoothly, James and Remus seem to be hitting it off, which is.. good I guess. Part of me wanted to keep him all to myself which I know I can't do and that it is an irrational thought, but I can't help myself.
