The new year of Hogwarts has started.

All the first years oohing and aahing in wonder at the sight of the gleaming train at station 9 3/4. Every year shuffled inside, attempting to find their pals and a decent seat. But in the last compartment in the very back were four boys and you could say the were, mischief marauders.

"OI MOONY!" Sirius yelled in Remus's ear, snapping him out of the daydream he was lost in. "WHY DO YOU LOOK SO GLUM?!"

"Ok first, don't yell in my ear, I'm sitting right next to you and second I- just don't want to talk about it." Remus said, his face losing colour.

"I'm sorry Moony," Sirius mumbled, "Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

"Yes," Remus snapped, making Sirius shift slightly towards James and Peter. The train started chugging and eventually Sirius went to sit in a different seat closer to James and Peter and their laughter continued. Remus presumed back to his daydreaming out the window. He felt bad for snapping at Padfoot the way he did but he just had too much on his mind. 'Should I tell them?' Remus wondered but the thought made his head dizzy. No. It was bad enough he was a werewolf, he didn't need more pressure. Remus sighed and gazed aimlessly out the window until the Hogwarts Express rolled into a stop.

********************

When Remus snapped at me and it made me kind of uncomfortable so I decided to go over to James and Peter. I felt bad thought for provoking him because he did look like the recent full moons haven't been kind to him. I didn't like Remus having to go through all the pain of transforming into a bloody werewolf, scratchy and clawing and biting himself. I'll just have to push that aside for now, I don't want 4th year to start off like this. Looks like James just told a joke, better laugh with Peter...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I just told a joke about a witch and a goblin and Peter and Sirius started laughing. I could tell Sirius wasn't really listening to the joke, something was up.

"Hey Padfoot, what's wrong?" James asked siriously (A/N: Sorry I just had to XD).

"Nothing, Prongs..." Sirius said unconvincingly.

"Ehem, I know when my friend is lying and you mate, are lying."

"Well, it's just-" Sirius changed his voice to a low whisper and leaned towards James,"-It's difficult seeing Remus like this, I think it's getting worse."

"I know mate, I know but I think he just needs time to figure out whatever he needs to figure out and we just have to support him without being overbearing."

"We should give him his time and space," Peter chimed in.

"Yeah, I guess you guys are right," Sirius said.

They just chatted until the Hogwarts Express rolled to a stop.

--------------------

We hopped out of the train and followed the Gryffindor  prefect to the Great Hall where the sorting hat will sort the first years. I missed being here with Remus, Sirius, and James but of course it was difficult with Remus's... issue. I guess I started to gaze off and ran into something and James yelled at me.
