By the time my friends had returned to the school, I was already ready to have them back. As much company as the teachers were, I had longed to have my friends back. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I had never had very supportive friends and I wanted to experience a proper friendship, one which I now craved with the seven people who had accepted me.
After Remus and I had scheduled to go to Hogsmeade together we had kept our mouths shut about it. This was the cause of Lily, Alice, Marlene, Peter, James and Sirius not knowing we already had plans.
"Hogsmeade is this weekend, are we doing the usual" Sirius said lunging over the back of the chair between Sirius and Myself.
"Well of course" James exclaimed.
"Ummm..." I said scratching the back of my head nervously. We were going to have to say something soon. We had four days until the trip.
"What do you mean by ummm, do you already have plans with the girls? That fine if you do, I was just curious" Sirius said putting an arm over my shoulder. I shrugged it off.
"Not really, I had other plans" I said fidgeting in my spot.

Remus P.O.V
A large high pitched scream sounded as I walked down the stairs. I sped myself up expecting to see someone hurt but definitely not expecting what I actually saw.
"Sirius?" I questioned as I saw him squeezed between James and a very uncomfortable looking Alice.
"Our little Remus is finding love, how cute, and here I thought Alice couldn't accompany us to Hogmeade because she had plans with the other girls" Sirius nearly yelled causing my face to heat up as I sent him a glare.
"Just tell the whole school why do..." I began before my high pitched screaming sounded from the girls dormitories before the sound of large thumping footsteps sounded on the stairs.
"Why didn't you tell us" Marlene screamed flying from the stairs and running up to Alice.
"For these exact reasons, I knew you all would make a big deal, i've never been hard of hearing but I think I might just be on the verge of it right now" Alice said rubbing her ears.
"You have to realise how damn upset I am you didn't tell us but i'm to excited to lecture you about keeping secrets from your best friends" Lily exclaimed squealing in delight. "You two are just adorable"
"Ummm, Remus, you have to believe that I was forced to tell by Sirius who threatened to drop me in the Black lake which I know he'd be willing to do as he's done it before" Alice pleaded and I could see the fear in her eyes.
"Of course I believe you, Sirius tends to threaten people a lot, I knew we'd have to tell them all one day" I replied with a grim face.
"There all scaring me a bit" She whispered.
"Me to, i've never seen them all so excited, it's not a though we're marrying each other" I said rolling my eyes.
"Just imagine what that would be like" She laughed quietly closing her eyes. I copied, picturing James and Sirius squealing like little girls. Alice snorted.
"What did you imagine" I asked curiously.
"James and Sirius rolling down a hill and bashing into tiny James' and Sirius' like rolling pins" She replied silently laughing whilst crying tears of laughter.
"How did you even get there" I said shaking my head trying to hold back laughter.
"You don't want to know" She said whiping her eyes as we both directed our attention to the five people who were smiling in there two separate groups.
"So how are we going to break the news to Peter" She said abruptly.
"Who knows, at this rate, James and Sirius will do that for us" I said rolling my eyes at James and Sirius who were now huddled in a small group like a group of gossiping girls.
"Just like the gossip queens they are"

Peter P.O.V
Wha... Congratulations" I responded hitching a smile onto my face even though every little dream was shattering inside of me.
"We thought we might have to tell you before James and Sirius go absolutely mental and wreck havoc finding out we never told you" Alice explained standing beside Remus. I nodded quietly.
"Understandable" I said just as James and Sirius jumped over placing one arm over each side of my shoulder.
"Isn't the news exciting Wormtail, Remus and Alice are going to Hogsmeade together, they'll get married and have little bookworm babies" James said jumping up and down. It made me sick to my stomach to think of that.
"I don't want children" Remus and Alice said together causing me to look up.
"But why not" Sirius pouted.
"I don't want my children to suffer from Lycanthropy" Remus said. "Nobody deserves to have the disease passed down to them"
"I agree, I would love a child but my Lycanthropy would stop them from doing the things they wanted to do in life" Alice said hanging her head slightly. I frowned at her sad look.
"Well, if they won't have kids than they'll still have a house full of dragons, theres a muggle saying my Dad told me when he explained our neighbour, she's a crazy cat lady, so Remus and Alice will be..." James said raising his hands, "The Crazy Dragon Couple" He said pretending the words were in the air.
"I won't have a house full of dragons if I work at a dragon sanctuary" Alice said.
"But what if you get hurt" I said frowning.
"If it makes you feel any better Pete, I get hurt everyday, by Sirius' insults, you can't escape them" Alice said rolling her eyes dramatically, Sirius took his arm from my shoulder and folded it over the other one.
"I think you insult me more than I insult you" Sirius said.
"Do not, you just take everything to heart, that makes compliments sound like insults to you" She said crossing her arms back at him.
"Give me an example of where i've taken a compliment badly" He said narrowing his eyes.

Third person P.O.V
"Wow Sirius, your hair actually looks half decent today" Remus said walking down the stairs to see Sirius standing in the middle of the room waiting.
"I Definitely agree" Alice said jumping the last two stairs from her dorm staircase and landing in front of Sirius.
"So your saying my hair looks terrible on a daily basis than" Sirius replied turning his nose up.
"Um, we're just complimenting you Padfoot, you don't have to make it sound like we're insulting you, I mean, look at the facts, your hair has seen worse days" Alice said with a confused look.
"Well, look at the facts, i'm ignoring you for good reasons" Sirius retaliated turning away and crossing his arms.
"What are we going to do with him" Alice said turning to Remus,
"HEY, I heard that" Sirius said causing Remus and Alice to roll their eyes in sync.
"WELL, WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO TO THE GREAT HALL" Alice yelled before walking from the room quickly followed by Remus.

Alice P.O.V
"You could have been saying my hair was bad, that was an insult" Sirius said pouting.
"I was complimenting your hair Sirius" Remus said shaking his head and walking from the room quickly.
"I assure you he was" I said following Remus' lead and walking from the room.
I was friends with a child, I had figured that much out.
