Remus
I was walking to the first potions class of third year with Lily, Alexandrina, Sirius, James and Peter when a potion exploded in our faces. "What the?!" Sirius exclaimed, "what was that?"
"No idea. What about you guys?" James asked all of us.
"I think it was just to scare us. Let's just get to potions already! I think we're late!" My wonderful sister, Alexandrina, told us and we then legged it to potions.
"Late, are we, you lot? What was I expecting? It is the Marauders, after all. But Lily, I thought you were different? Do we have an excuse?" Professor Slughorn asked as we entered.
"Sorry, sir. The 'Marauders' were holding me up." Lily apologised.
"Very well, just get your books out. Lessons haven't started yet."
LATER IN THE COMMON ROOM: 3:00 IN THE MORNING
We were sat on the sofas in front of the fire place in the common room:
(From left-right: Lily, James, me, Alex, Sirius and Peter.)
When I suddenly felt Alex lay down on my lap. I looked down and saw her asleep. "Is Alex asleep?" Sirius asked as he moved some of Alex's hair out of her face.
"Yeah. I mean, she hasn't been getting much sleep over the past few days." I told him. That's when I started to feel really sleepy. I looked around and saw Lily asleep on James, James asleep on Lily and Peter asleep on the floor. I looked down at Sirius and saw him asleep on Lex's shoulder.
I rested my head on Sirius' shoulder and soon found myself falling asleep. "R... Remus?" I heard Alex ask. The thing is, it sounded like she was crying.
I opened my eyes and saw Alex crying into my chest. "Al, what's wrong? Sis, what's wrong?" I asked her gently as I hugged and stroked her hair comfortingly.
"I... I don't feel too well." She sobbed.
Here's the thing, Alexandrina is my twin, yes, but she's an Irish Twin. She was born a month after me. She also had the mind of an eight year old outside of lessons but she looks twelve. She tries to act twelve in front of the others but when she falls asleep, Lily usually asks what's up with her.
I hugged her close to me and whispered soothing things into her ear until she tel asleep five minutes later. I then propped her up on my lap so her back was resting against my arms and her head was resting on Sirius' shoulder– Sirius resting his head on top of her's– as I rested my head on James' shoulder. He put his arm around me and Alex and moved his head to go on top of mine, Lily's head moving to his shoulder. (Aww, such a cut couple!) I then started to fall asleep as the clock struck 3:30 in the morning.
