It Must Be Tonight (Save Me Tonight) Wolfstar

Artogent Boy

We're nearing the time for midterms now, which means that Halloween is just twelve days away. I've always fond of Halloween, but James absolutely  adores it. He always want's to dress up as some 'dynamic duo' and make Peter go as something related as well. All of our costumes so far in the two years that I have known James have been orchestrated. First were we're Batman(James of course), Robbin(me), and Alfred(Peter). Needless to say Peter and I were a bit reluctant, but we learned very quickly how much of a big deal it was to James, so we play along. The next year we went as Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and Inspector Lestrade, the BBC version. This one I was okay with, that was until James forced me to dye my hair blonde.. Remus fell over laughing when James showed him the photos from that, he made it my caller ID photo on his phone. Bastard.

This year though I happened to get lucky, halloween is going to be during travel so I don't have to deal with the costumes. Peter does though. We found out what our travel groups were going to be a couple of weeks after school started. All the freshmen have the same travel course that leads all around Switzerland, just split into four different groups. James and Peter are in group two and Remus and I are in group four. Each group is led by a different teacher which makes each one slightly different, it so happens that group four was being headed by the very lax German mathematician, Dr. Prisner. I couldn't even explain just how relieved I was when I found this out, he's one of the best professors to have a travel with by far according to all of the upperclassmen I have spoken with. From what I have heard, some of the other professors make you write a 30 page report on your travel while others will give you a test daily to see how much you were paying attention during the various tours and such. Prisner on the other hand was just happy that people showed up. For some reason his mode of teaching the travel courses made people want to pay attention to what was going on more than they would have if there was going to be a test at the end of it. The other fun thing that I've been told is that if the students had been particularly corporative he would take them out drinking in his favourite bar in whatever city they were in. Needless to say, I'm very excited for this travel course. I have already been to all the places that we'll be going to considering how much time I tend to spend in this country over the holidays, but knowing that I would be on the travel with Prisner and Remus makes me hopeful.

James got a bit upset when he found out that we were on different travels. Actually, upset might be an understatement. When the professor finished reading out the names for the second travel group and my name wasn't read he stood up in the room full of freshmen and shouted, "What kind of lunacy is this? I demand to know why my request to have Mr. Black on my travel course was denied!"

I tried to pull him down by his sleeve, "James, chill, it's okay."

"No Sirius, it's not okay. Why is he on a different travel?"

"Because, Mr. Potter, the staff agreed that it would be for the betterment of all if the two of you weren't together to raise any havoc."

"Oh, you'll get havoc now! Just you see!" And with that he stormed out of the assembly.

"Your parents will be getting a call regarding your behaviour today Mr. Potter!" The professor called out to him as he pushed open the door.

"Like I give a damn!" And with that the door slammed shut. James could be a bit dramatic when he wanted to, thats for sure. I think that he just enjoyed causing a commotion.

There were a couple of seconds of compleat silence in the hall before the professor spoke again, "well, now that's over with. Would you like your parents to receive a call as well Mr. Black?"

I panicked for just a moment before I shook my head no and the professor continued with the list. The last think I need is to have my parents called, I couldn't imagine what they'd do the next time I saw them. Well, I could I just didn't want to. My bad boy reputation may have taken a hit, but that's better than the alternative.
